    Notes: Summary In the eggs ofWachtliella persicariae the cleavage nuclei move relative to the surrounding ooplasm. This ‘active’ migration is caused by an organelle whose ultrastructure was studied throughout the mitotic cycle. It consists of a greatly enlarged polar cytaster derived from the mitotic apparatus, linked to the nucleus by 100 Å filaments. The microtubules of the cytaster were found only during periods of active nuclear migration, i.e., from the onset of anaphase to the early prophase of the next mitotic cycle. They are always solitary and follow the course of the astral rays, which are known to temporarily adhere to peripheral structures of the egg cell and to exert tractive forces. In contrast to the cytaster microtubules, the microtubules in the spindle are bundled and persist from early metaphase through late telophase. During ontogenesis the first migration cytaster is built up between 3 and 12 min after oviposition near the anterior egg pole, in the vicinity of the sperm nucleus. In non-inseminated eggs time lapse films show a migration cytaster to develop autonomously in a region free from nuclei, but it does not follow the normal path of the male pronucleus. In several cases the female pronucleus, which remains without a cytaster of its own, was observed to move to the cytaster generated in the absence of the male pronucleus. Whether or not it is adhering to a nucleus, the cytaster divides into two at the correct time, i.e, corresponding to the first cleavage division in fertilized eggs. In some non-inseminated eggs this type of ‘pseudocleavage’ has been observed to occur repeatedly, giving rise to an increasing number of anucleate cytasters.

    Notes: Summary This is a study of the fine structure of cells of the 20-day fetal rat calvarium. Special attention is given to identifying and characterizing preosteoclasts. These cells are relatively common and located largely, but not exclusively, at the endocranial bone surface. The preosteoclasts are characterized by abundant mitochondria, an incomplete perinuclear Golgi apparatus, and variable-shaped dense granules. The dense granules are unique in appearance in that they contain an internal dense matrix surrounded by a clear halo. Most granules are circular in shape but some are elongate or tubular in form. Granules with identical appearance are observed in osteoclasts. The preosteoclasts are mononucleate, or occasionally binucleate. It is suggested that because preosteoclasts are morphologically distinctive and relatively abundant, it should be feasible to separate these cells from a heterogeneous cell isolate.

    Notes: Summary A method for quantitative studies of the formation rate of bone has been developed. After vital staining with calcein, the fluorescence of a bone section was measured with a microphotometer controlled by a mini computer. After staining the bone structure with alizarin red S in a second step, the section was measured in transmitted light. The two data sets were combined and the shortest distances between the bone surface and the fluorescence lines were computed. With this information the distance distribution and the bone area between the label and the surface could be calculated in two different ways: with the single labeling and the continuous labeling techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of the two methods are discussed and compared with those of other techniques.

    A quantitative histologic analysis of the growing long bone metaphysis (1980)

    Notes: Summary The purpose of this work was to analyze the proximal tibial metaphysis of the 170 g rat in a quantitative histologic fashion which would allow some relation to tissue age to be established. Stained 3 µm thick tissue sections were analyzed with the aid of a Merz grid on an eyepiece reticule and a light microscope. Tissue mass and cell distribution were studied in all areas. The rate of change in tissue mass during aging of the metaphysis was calculated. Two regions of the metaphysis were identified. One, corresponding to the primary spongiosa, less than 4.45 days of age, is a region of high turnover of hard tissue and high numbers of osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. The other, corresponding to the secondary spongiosa, is a region of relatively low net tissue turnover and low numbers of osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. Osteoclasts were found relatively more uniformly distributed through the metaphysis than were osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells. The rate of bone formation in the primary spongiosa is 50 times that found in the Haversian bone of the rib of 5-year-old humans and about 500 times that found at the cortical-endosteal surface of ribs of 5-year-old humans. It is argued that both cell distribution and tissue distribution in the metaphysis support the concept that osteoblasts and osteoclasts, rather than osteocytes, are responsible for the maturation of the metaphysis. The inhomogeneous distribution of both cells and tissue in the metaphysis has definite meaning for the interpretation of findings concerning the incorporation of radionuclides into the skeleton.

    Role of growth hormone in experimental phosphorus deprivation in the rat (1980)

    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary The demands of growth are known to exacerbate the effect of phosphorus deprivation (PD). We examined whether changes associated with PD could be prevented in young rats in which growth and growth hormone (GH) were eliminated by hypophysectomy (HPX) and whether PD in normal intact rats (INT) was associated with increased secretion of GH. INT or thyroxine- and ACTH-replaced HPX rats were fed one of the three diets: 0.31% P (NP); 0.027% P (LP), and 0.31% P, pair-fed with LP-mates (NP-PF). The results indicate that HPX did not qualitatively alter several physiologic responses to PD: (a) serum and urinary phosphorus (P) decreased and urinary calcium (Ca) increased; (b) net intestinal Ca retention fell and duodenal sac uptake of45Ca rose; and (c) external P balance was restored and duodenal sac uptake of32P-phosphate increased. Only the hypercalcemia seen in INT, LP rats was prevented by HPX. In INT rats serum immunoassayable GH levels, measured in single samples, were not different between different dietary groups while pituitary bioassayable GH was reduced in both LP and NP-PF rats when compared to the NP rats. Thus, except for hypercalcemia, the physiologic responses associated with PD are not prevented by the elimination of growth and GH, and the development of these responses in INT rats was not associated with a consistent or specific alteration in GH secretion.

    Reorganization of cortical microtubules and cellulose deposition during leaf formation in Graptopetalum paraguayense (1980)

    Notes: Abstract In the “regeneration” of a shoot from a leaf of the succulent, Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther the first new organs are leaf primordia. The original arrangement of cellulose microfibrils and of microtubules (MTs) in the epidermis of the leaf-forming site is one of parallel, straight lines. In the new primordium both structures still have a congruent arrangement but it is roughly in the form of concentric circles that surround the new cylindrical organ. The regions which undergo the greatest shift in orientation (90°) were studied in detail. Departures from the original cellulose alignment are detected in changes in the polarized-light image. Departures from the original cortical MT arrangement are detected using electron microscopy. The over-all reorganization of the MT pattern is followed by the tally of MT profiles, the various regions being studied in two perpendicular planes of section. This corrects for the difference in efficiency in counting transverse versus longitudinal profiles of MTs. Reorientation takes place sporadically, cell by cell, for both the cellulose microfibrils and the MTs, indicating a coordinated reorientation of the two structures. That MTs and cellulose microfibrils reorient jointly in individual cells was shown by reconstruction of the arrays of cortical MTs in paradermal sections of individual cells whose recent change in the orientation of cellulose deposition had been detected with polarized light. Closeness of the two alignments was also indicated by images where the MT and microfibril alignments co-varied within a single cell. The change-over in alignment of the MTs appears to involve stages where arrays of contrasting orientation co-exist to give a criss-cross image. During this critical reorganization, the frequency of the MTs is high. It falls during subsequent enlargement of the organ. It was found that the rearrangement of the cortical MTs to approximate a series of concentric circles on the residual meristem occurred before the emergence of leaf primordia. Through their apparent influence on microfibril alignments, the changes in MT disposition, described here, have the potential to generate major biophysical changes that accompany organogenesis.

    Anti-microtubular herbicides and fungicides affect Ca2+ transport in plant mitochondria (1980)

    Notes: Abstract The herbicides amiprophosmethyl (APM) trifluralin, and oryzalin as well as the fungicides methylbenzimidazolyl carbamate (MBC), O-isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (IPC), and chlorisopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (CIPC), which are known to cause the destruction of microtubules in vivo but do not interfere with tubulin polymerization in vitro, have been examined with respect to their ability to affect Ca2+ transport in isolated cell organelles. In contrast to colchicine which has no effect on Ca2+ transport in isolated mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, all of the substances investigated caused considerable reduction of ca2+ net uptake into mitochondrial but not into microsomal fractions. This reduction has been shown to be due to an increase in passive Ca2+ efflux. These results have been extrapolated to in vivo situations where they are postulated to act by raising cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels.

    Polarity and growth of caulonema tip cells of the moss Funaria hygrometrica (1980)

    Notes: Abstract In the caulonema tip cells of Funaria hygrometrica, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and dictyosomes have differences in structure which are determined by cell polarity. In contrast to the slowly growing chloronema tip cells the apical cell of the caulonema contains a tip body. Colchicine stops tip growth; it causes the formation of subapical cell protrusions, redistribution of the plastids, and a loss of their polar differentiation. Cytochalasin B inhibits growth and affects the position of cell organelles. After treatment with ionophore A23 187, growth is slower and shorter and wider cells are formed. D2O causes a transient reversion of organelle distribution but premitotic nuclei are not dislocated. In some tip cells the reversion of polarity persists; they continue to grow with a new tip at their base. During centrifugation, colchicine has only a slight influence on the stability of organelle anchorage. The former polar organization of most cells is restored within a few hours after centrifugation, and the cells resume normal growth. In premitotic cells the nucleus and other organelles cannot be retransported, they often continue to grow with reversed polarity. Colchicine retards the redistribution of organelles generally and increases the number of cells that form a basal outgrowth. The interrelationship between the peripheral cytoplasm and the nucleus and the role of microtubules in maintaining and reestablishing cell polarity are discussed.

    Microtubules and coated vesicles in guard-cell protoplasts ofAllium cepa L. (1980)

    Notes: Abstract Protoplasts were prepared from the guard cells ofA. cepa. Epidermal peels taken from expanding green leaves and largely free of mesophyll were treated with Cellulysin, and protoplasts were harvested after 18 h of digestion. That the protoplasts were derived from guard cells was ascertained from their characteristic vacuolar autofluorescence and from observations showing that all other epidermal cells are killed in the peeling procedure. The protoplasts proved to be a good system with which to view the cell cortex and inner surface of the plasmalemma. The lysis of cells adhering to polylysine-treated, Formvar-coated grids, followed by negative staining in uranyl acetate, showed that many microtubules normally present in ordered arrays in situ remain closely applied to the inner surface of the plasmalemma in protoplasts. In addition, numerous vesiculate elements including coated vesicles and/or pits are present amongst the microtubules. Similar vesicles are evident in thin sections of fixed, embedded guard cells and protoplasts. The significance of these structures in the cell cortex is discussed.

    Microtubules, protoplasts and plant cell shape (1980)

    Notes: Abstract Indirect immunofluorescence has been used to study the function of cytoplasmic microtubules in controlling the shape of elongated carrot cells in culture. Using a purified wall-degrading preparation, the elongated cells are converted to spherical protoplasts and the transverse hoops of bundled microtubules are disorganised but not depolymerised in the process. Since microtubules remain attached to fragments of protoplast membrane adhering to coverslips and are still seen to be organised laterally in bundles, it would appear that re-orientation of the transverse bundles is due to loss of cell wall and not to the cleavage of microtubule bridges. After 24 h treatment in 10-3 M colchicine, microtubules are depolymerised in elongated cells but, at this time, the cells retain their elongated shape. This suggests that wall which was organised in the presence of transverse microtubule bundles can retain asymmetric shape for short periods in the absence of those tubules. However, after longer periods of time the cells become spherical in colchicine. Neither wall nor tubules therefore exert individual control on continued cellular elongation and so we emphasize the fundamental nature of wall/microtubule interactions in shape control. It is concluded that the observations are best explained by a model in which hooped bundles of microtubules—which are directly or indirectly associated with molecules involved with cellulose biosynthesis at the cell surface—act as an essential template or scaffolding for the orientated deposition of cellulose.
