    Notes: Summary The progress of polyploidization in the human heart muscle cell was investigated by cytofluorometry, involving selective measurements of heart muscle cell nuclei. Thirty-two tissue samples, taken from the free wall of the left ventricle of each autopsied heart, were fixed in Carnoy's fluid. From thick (100–150 μm) paraffin sections, isolated cells for smears were obtained by enzyme digestion and ultrasonic treatment. The smears were stained with azocarmin G to eliminate background fluorescence and subsequently stained by an acriflavine-Feulgen reaction. Cytofluorometric DNA-determinations were carried out selectively on heart muscle cell nuclei, using the muscle striations revealed by azocarmin G-fluorescence as specific markers. The dynamic process of polyploidization in normal hearts could be divided into four stages. In the first stage (under 1 year of age), almost all heart muscle cell nuclei (94.3±1.8%) were diploid. In the second stage (1 to 9 years of age), the number of tetraploid nuclei increased (13.6±7.1%). In the third stage (9 to 22 years of age), octaploid nuclei first appeared and the number of tetraploid nuclei increased (26.7±3.9%). The DNA pattern in the fourth stage (22 to 75 years of age) was relatively constant, with a ratio of diploid (62.4±8.7%), tetraploid (31.4±6.7%) and octaploid (5.8±3.9%) nuclei. From these results it was concluded that physiological polyploidization progresses in proportion to the increase of heart weight. The frequency of polyploid nuclei in human heart was not so high as resported by previous investigators.

    Notes: Summary In the human heart, it is well known that the polyploidization of working heart-muscle cells increases in proportion to increases in heart weight, but there has been no investigation of the process of polyploidization in the specialized heart-muscle cells of the cardiac conduction system which have a nerve-like function. In order to investigate the process of polyploidization in these cells, the nuclear DNA content of atrioventricular nodal cells was measured using cytofluorometry. Tissue samples taken from autopsied hearts without arrhythmias were embedded in paraffin blocks after Carnoy fixation. Blocks containing the atrioventricular conduction system were cut according to the serial sectioning method of Lev et al. The compact atrioventricular nodes were removed from thick paraffin sections (150 μm) under a stereomicroscope. The cells were then isolated by enzyme digestion and ultrasonic treatment. Smears of the isolated cells were double stained with azocarmin-G and acriflavine-Feulgen. Cytofluorometric DNA determinations of the DNA content of atrioventricular nodal cells were performed. Atrioventricular nodes were found to be composed of a large number of diploid cells and a small number of tetraploid cells. No octaploid cells were found. These findings reveal that the process of polyploidization in atrioventricular nodal cells is different from that found in working heart-muscle cells.

    Notes: Summary The 2nd c-wave is a new wave of corneoretinal potential which is an on-response with a long latency (65–98 sec), and appears following the end of the c-wave of ERG. It is sugested that the 2nd c-wave is based on the tail of the late receptor potential of the retina.

    Notes: Summary The factors affecting fluorescence fading in cytofluorometry were investigated using different kinds of nuclear staining, mounting media, and procedure of specimen preparation. Acceleration of fluorescence fading was observed in smear specimens treated with RNase, trypsin, or hypotonic solution before pararosaniline Feulgen nuclear staining. Similar effect was found for other DNA-stainings such as “33258 Hoechst” and Feulgen reactions with different Schiff-type dyes, such as acriflavine-SO2 and cresylviolet-SO2, when chemically pure DNA was used. Fluorescence decay was rapid for all fluorochromes examined, when glycerin or buffer solution was used as mounting medium. Marked stabilization of fluorescence emission was induced in specimen mounted in non-fluorescent resin, Entellan (Merck), after post-staining fixation with absolute methanol for all tested fluorochromes. The same treatment induced almost complete fluorescence stabilization of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC); no detectable fluorescence fading was observed in a specimen stained with indirect immunofluorescence reaction using anti-UV-DNA antibody, during storage for 2 years at room temperature without special protection against light. These observations suggest that factors which bring about conformational stability of macromoleculedye complexes generally induce fluorescence stabilization.

    Notes: Summary A technique for isolation of cells from paraffin embedded tissue is indispensable for the performance of Feulgen-DNA cytofluorometry in parallel with the definition of histological characteristics. Background fluorescence due to nonspecific dye-binding by a “pseudo-plasmal reaction” is usually found to be so intense on cells isolated from formalin-fixed tissues, that we are often forced to abandon quantitative DNA determinations. In the present work, we report that fixation of tissues with Carnoy's fixative for 12 h at 5° C not only reduces nonspecific dye-binding but also facilitates the process of cell isolation. Furthermore, we find that pre-treatment of cells isolated from Carnoy-fixed tissues with acidic azocarmin G solution completely blocks nonspecific dye-binding in subsequent acriflavine Feulgen nuclear staining. This combination of techniques for specimen preparation enables us to carry out Feulgen-DNA cytofluorometry on cells isolated from histological sections with satisfactorily low coefficients of variation (less than 8%). The techniques should be widely applicable for parallel DNA determinations and histology.

    Notes: Summary In Feulgen nuclear staining nonspecific dye-binding due to the “pseudo-plasmal reaction” is intensified in isolated cells with intact cytoplasm, and cannot be eliminated by the post-irradiation method. Fluorescence intensity in the cytoplasm sometimes exceeds that of specific nuclear fluorescence, especially in brain and heart muscle cells, and it was almost impossible to perform cytofluorometric DNA quantification on such specimens. Various kinds of aldehyde-blocking agents such as sodium borohydride, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, aniline, and sodium pyrosulfite were effective in reducing the “pseudo-plasmal reaction”. But the blocking effects were not complete because of additional release of reactive aldehyde groups during subsequent Feulgen hydrolysis. Acidic azocarmin G produces a complete block of all “pseudo-plasmal reaction” in acriflavine-Feulgen nuclear staining, allowing accurate DNA-cytofluorometry to be carried out.

    Notes: Summary We describe a method for measuring the DNA content of the component cells of the organ of Corti using serial sections of human cochleae obtained at autopsy. Cochleae were fixed in Carnoy's solution and embedded in Acrytron E, a water-miscible methacrylate resin. A procedure was developed to reduce the background fluorescence in methacrylate-embedded sections; the resin was pretreated with ion-exchange resin (Amberlite IRA-410). Experiments showed that pretreatment reduce the background fluorescence practically to zero. Seventy 3 μm-thick serial sections were prepared on fluorescence free glass slides and stained with azocarmin G and acriflavine-Feulgen. After postirradiation using blue excitation light, the amount of Feulgen-DNA present in the target nucleus in each section was determined using a microfluorometer. The amount of DNA in the entire nucleus was determined by adding together the DNA contnet of the segments of the nucleus. The characteristic appearance of the organ of Corti made it easy to detect these cells; under green excitation light the cells of this organ exhibited red cytoplasmic azocarmin-G fluorescence. Due to the relatively wide internuclear spaces, cytofluorometry of individual nuclei could be performed without interference from the neighboring cells. Our technique using serial sections allowed us to measure the DNA contnet of individual cells and obtain histological information about particular cells and their neighboring cells. Several polyploid cells were found among the Hensen's cells in the cochlea, while all other component cells of the organ of Corti were diploid.

    Notes: Summary In an attempt to analyse the kinetics of angiogenesis in the brain, we developed a new lectin-histochemical staining technique for identifying the vasculature. Three horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated lectins, i.e., Griffonia simplicifolia agglutinin 1 (GS1), Ricinus communis agglutinin 1 (RCA1) and soybean agglutinin (SBA), selectively stained vascular walls in brain-tissue sections. When these lectins were injected into the circulation of ether-anesthetized animals via the pulsating left ventricle, they bound specifically to the inner surface of endothelial cells and revealed the three-dimensional architecture of the vascular network within thick tissue preparations. When this technique, referred to a lectin angiography, was combined with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BudR) immunohistochemistry, proliferating capillary cells could be easily identified in three-dimensional structures of the developing vasculature. Because of its simplicity and wide applicability, lectin angiography should be useful for analysing the kinetics of angiogenesis in developmental, regenerative, and pathological conditions in various tissues and organs.
