    Notizen: Morphologic studies of human adenohypophysial cells using immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy have characterized the hormone-producing cell types of the normal gland and pituitary adenomas. The classifications which have emerged allow more accurate clinicopathologic correlations than ever before, but have also raised new questions concerning cytogenesis, pathogenesis, and structure-function correlations. We report the results of studies which marry the conventional morphologic techniques of light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and ultrastructural immunocytology with functional analyses using tissue culture and radioimmunoassay of hormones released into culture media. The hormone secretory activity of nontumorous and adenomatous pituitary cells is correlated with their structural features; their secretory responses to several adenohypophysiotropic factors are compared with morphologic alterations which are characterized at the light and electron microscopic levels by morphometric analysis. These studies have shown that hypothalamic stimulating hormones increase hormone release by their target cells and alter the ultrastructural appearance of the affected cells by increasing organelles involved in hormone synthesis. Inhibitory drugs and adrenal and gonadal steroids are capable of suppressing hormone release by some tumors and also give rise to morphologic changes which correlate with the functional inhibition. Hormone release by clinically nonfunctioning adenomas has been characterized and the behavior of these tumor cells in vitro sheds some light on the reasons for lack of clinical symptomatology. The plurihormonal nature of several nontumorous and adenomatous pituitary cell types has been characterized in vitro. The results of these studies provide the basis for more accurate structure-function correlations which can be used to study the hormonal milieu in vivo, to predict the role of pathogenetic factors in pituitary tumorigenesis, and to assess the therapeutic value of stimulating or inhibiting hormones and drugs.

    Notizen: Ultrastructural studies have contributed significantly to our understanding of cell lineage differentiation in the mammalian pre-implantation embryo. Such studies have documented, and continue to document, morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics of the cell lineages established during the pre-implantation period in eutherian embryos, principally that of the mouse. This review evaluates these contributions and identifies areas of study in which ultrastructural analysis is most likely to have an important role in the future. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The present study uses mainly scanning electron microscopy to demonstrate the three-dimensional internal cell structures of rat olfactory epithelial cells. The aldehyde-prefixed osmium-DMSO-osmium (AODO) method devised by Tanaka and Mitsushima (1984) was applied to the present study to disclose intracellular structures such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. The spatial distribution pattern of these structures in olfactory and supporting cells is discussed, paying special attention to the formation of lipofuscin-like granules present in aged rats. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: We used scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy to examine ultrastructural changes in the olfactory epithelium (OE) of rainbow trout following unilateral olfactory nerve section. Both ciliated receptor cells (CRC) and microvillar receptor cells (MRC) degenerated and subsequently differentiated from unidentified precursor cells. The following changes took place in fish that were held at 10°C at the stated period following olfactory nerve section: on day 7, MRC and CRC contained intracellular vacuoles; on day 12, the olfactory knobs appeared disrupted; by day 26, olfactory receptor cells were absent from the OE; on day 42, there were receptor cell bodies and a few CRC with short cilia at the apical surface; and opn day 55, a small number of both CRC and MRC had differentiated. By day 76, both CRC and MRC repopulated the OE. Degenerative changes in the cytoplasm of the sustentacular cells (SC) and ciliated nonsensory cells (CNC) were observed in the first 26 days following olfactory nerve section, but these cells remained intact throughout the experiment. The degeneration and subsequent differentiation of CRC and MRC supports and extends previous observations that both cells types are olfactory receptor neurons with axons that extend along the olfactory nerve to the olfactory bulb. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: This paper describes four investigations of the olfactory mucosa of the brown trout: 1) the ultrastructure of the olfactory mucosa as revealed by scanning (SEM), conventional transmission (TEM), and high voltage (HVEM) electron microscopy; 2) light and electron-microscopic investigations of retrograde transport of the tracer macromolecule horseradish peroxidase (HRP) when applied to the cut olfactory nerve; 3) SEM and TEM investigations of the effects of olfactory nerve transection on cell populations within the olfactory epithelium; and 4) ultrastructural investigations of reversible degeneration of olfactery receptors caused by elevated copper concentrations. The trout lofactory epithelium contains five cell types: ciliated epithelial cells, ciliated olfactory receptor cells, microvillar olfactory receptor cells, supporting cells, and basal cells. The ciliated and microvillar olfactory receptor cells and a small number of basal cells are backfilled by HRP when the tracer is applied to the cut olfactory nerve. When the olfactory nerve is cut, both ciliated and microvillar olfactory receptor cells degenerate within 2 days and are morphologically intact again within 8 days. When wild trout are taken from their native stream and placed in tanks with elevated copper concentrations, ciliated and microvillar cells degenerate. Replacement of these trout into their stream of origin is followed by morphologic restoration of both types of olfactory receptor cells. Ciliated and microvillar receptor cells are primary sensory bipolar neurons whose dendrites make contact with the environment; their axons travel directly to the brain. Consequently, substances can be transported directly from the environment into the brain via these “naked neurons.” Since fish cannot escape from the water in which they swim, and since that water may occasionally contain brain-toxic substances, the ability to close off - and later reopen - this anatomic gateway to the brain would confer a tremendous selective advantage upon animals that evolved the “brain-sparing” capacity to do so. Consequently, the unique regenerative powers of vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons may have their evolutionary origin in fishes. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Three different drying methods, critical-point drying (CPD), Peldri II, and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), were compared using representative animal( rat kidney, trachea, duodenum, lung, and red blood cells) and plant( leaves from ten species of monocotyledons and dicotyledons) specimens. All three drying methods produced identical results with animal specimens. Plant specimens showed signs of shrinkage regardless of which drying method was employed. The order of preservation quality from best to worst for leaves was CPD 〉 Peldri II 〉 HMDS, with the CPD method providing substantially better results in all but one case. Postfixation of leaves with osmium tetroxide resulted in poorer preservation in all instances. Peldri II caused complete extraction of leaf cuticular wax, while both both CPD and HMDS showed minimal extraction compared with samples air dried directly from acetone. These results indicate that HMDS provides a time-saving and inexpensive alternative to CPD for animal specimens. Plant specimens, particularly those containing cells with large central vacuoles, are adequately preserved only with the CPD method. In addition, postfixation with osmium should be avoided when processing plant specimens for scanning electron microscopy. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The presence of glutamate immunoreactivity (glu-IR) in the nerve fibers of the mudpuppy taste bud was investigated by electron microscopy. Pre-embedding staining with avidinbiotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) and post-embedding staining with 5 mm colloid gold conjugates were used separately to identify immuno-stained structures. We have found the following: 1) the majority of the nerve fibers innervating the mudpuppy taste bud are unmyelinated; 2) about 85% of nerve fibers located at the base of the taste bud and about 60% of the nerve fibers located between the taste cells show glu-IR by pre-embedding staining; 3) there is a preferential staining of the glu-IR in the nerve fibers of the mudpuppy taste bud; and 4) the distribution of the colloidal gold particles in the nerve fibers is 1.5 to 2 times denser than that of the staining in the connective tissue background or cellular profiles of taste cells. From the distribution and pattern of the nerve fibers obtained in the thick and thin sections, we conclude that the mudpuppy taste bud is innervated by glutamate-containing unmyelinated nerve fibers. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Creatine phosphokinase regenerates ATP from ADP using creatine phosphate. Isoenzymes of creatine phosphokinase are bound to certain cellular structures or are compartmentalized in areas of the cell, and this has been used as a basis for defining the role of these isoenzymes in energy metabolism. The M isoenzyme of creatine phosphokinase has been morphologically associated with the M-line of striated muscle in many species. In this present study the ultrastructural distribution and the relative concentration of the M form of creatine phosphokinase in human muscle tissue was determined using immunogold and electron microscopy. The M-line of the sarcomere, comprising only 3 - 4% of the sarcomere area, was found to contain over 20% of the total M isoenzyme signal of the entire sarcomere. This technique represents a quantitative, ultrastructural method to study the subcellular distribution of this isoenzyme. These data suggest that localized concentrations of M-CPK may be important for normal energy metabolism, and may also serve as a foundation for a better understanding of the relationship between abnormal creatine metabolism and the pathogenesis of neuromuscular disease.

    Notizen: There is a great variety in the morphological appearance of olfactory structures across the metazoan animal kingdom. Despite this variety the receptive structures themselves have a strikingly similar architecture, namely some type of elongated cellular extension that is spanned by a membrane and surrounded by mucus. These cellular extensions can either be modified primary or secondary cilia, or microvilli. There are more similarities between membranes of these extensions than between the cytoskeletal elements immediately underneath the membranes. One might infer that the cytoskeletal elements of the cellular extensions merely serve as a scaffold for the membranes, whereas the similarity in membrane ultrastructure provides morphological evidence supporting the concept that these membranes are responsible for the initial olfactory transduction process. The transduced message is transported to the brain, where it is decoded to initiate the cascade of events resulting in the organisms' appropriate behavioral response to the initial odorous stimulus. The varying appearance of olfactory structures across the animal kingdom is probably produced by evolutionary pressure to adapt the olfactory system to the animal's environment. This review deals with the ultrastructural aspects of these facets of olfaction. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: In this paper, the evolutionary origin of the vomeronasal system as a discrete sensory system separate from olfaction is examined. The presence of a discrete vomeronasal system appears to be a derived character in tetrapods, and its presence in larval amphibians indicates that the system did not arise as a terrestrial adaptation. The vomeronasal system has been lost independently in several taxa, including crocodilians, some bats, cetaceans, and some primates. The presence of microvillar receptor cells in the vomeronasal epithelium appears to be the ancestral condition for tetrapods, and alternative hypotheses concerning the ancestral condition for receptor cell types in the vertebrate olfactory epithelium are discussed. Finally, the possibility that the vomeronasal system is present in some fishes in a form that has not been recognized is discussed in relation to the phylogenetic distribution of receptor cell types in vertebrates. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Among gastropod molluscs the chemical senses are most important for location of distant objects. They are used in food finding, locating mates, avoiding predators, trail following, and homing. Chemoreceptors are commonly associated with the oral area, the tentacles, and the osphradium, which lies in the mantle cavity.Most chemosensory neurons are primary sensory neurons, although secondary sensory cells have been reported in the osphradium of some prosobranch gastropods. Most chemosensory organs contain sensory cells with ciliated sensory endings that are in contact with the external environment. Some sensory endings have only microvilli or have no surface elaborations. Cilia on sensory endings are commonly of the conventional type, but some species have modified cilia; some lack rootlets, some have an abnormal microtubular content, and some have paddle-shaped endings. The perikarya of sensory neurons may be within the sensory epithelium, below it, or in ganglia near the sensory surface. In some groups of gastropods there are peripheral ganglia in the olfactory pathway; in others chemosensory axons appear to pass directly to the CNS.Olfactory epithelia of terrestrial pulmonates have modified brush borders with long branching plasmatic processes and a spongy layer of cytoplasmic tubules which extend from the epithelial cells. Sensory endings of the olfactory receptors are entirely within this spongy layer. Aquatic pulmonates may have a similar spongy layer in their olfactory epithelia, but the cilia of sensory endings, as well as motile cilia of epithelial cells, extend well beyond the spongy layer. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: It is interesting to apply the method of etch figures to the study of organic molecular crystal defects, by observing the etch pits as soon as they are produced. We have set up a method to determine the geometrical forms of such small etch pits, observed on pre-shadowed replicas of naphthalene crystal surfaces. The described experimental procedure was designed to avoid artefacts due to vacuum sublimation and moisture traces on the replicated surface. Stereoscopic observation makes interpretation possible. The 3-D morphology and size of etch figures smaller than 1 μm can be determined.

    Notizen: Complete understanding of the role of the mammalian main olfactory bulb in sensory processing has remained elusive despite many detailed studies on its anatomy and physiology. Several lines of recent evidence viewed in the context of earlier knowledge have provided new insights into the bulbar mechanisms of olfactory coding. The output cells of the olfactory bulb receive a localized olfactory nerve input and interneuronal input via dendrodendritic synapses on distinct sets of dendrites. The spatial arrangement of granule cell contacts on output cell basal dendrites suggests that lateral inhibitory interactions may occur between neighboring output cells. The input from olfactory receptor cell axons to the bulb also has spatial order, but does not represent a precise map of the receptor surface. Recent studies with antibodies and lectins suggest that different groups of axons from chemically similar receptor cells collect into certain glomeruli, even if the axons originate from cells that are not contiguous in the mucosa. Electrophysiological studies have begun to explore the participation of spatially organized circuits in olfactory processing. The degree to which neighboring output cells respond similarly to odor stimulation, for example, depends on the distance between the cells, with those further apart showing complementary responses. Also, a single output cell can show 2 or more different temporal response patterns when different odors are presented. Intracellular recordings indicate that these responses are shaped by IPSPs. Electrical stimulation during such recordings shows that some mitral cells are excited by nerve inputs close to their glomerular tufts, while they are inhibited by nerve inputs to other parts of the bulb. Finally, recordings from granule and periglomerular cells indicate their potential in mediating components of output cell odor responses. These considerations suggest that the olfactory bulb performs a spatially based analysis on the information coming from the receptor cells. While the spatial organization of the olfactory bulb is probably not faithfully represented in the projections to the olfactory cortex, bulbocortical projections are not random. The fact that spatial factors exist at each of these levels in the olfactory system must be considered in developing models of central olfactory processing. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: This paper presents electron-microscopic observations on biopsies of the olfactory mucosae of several classes of patients with smell disorders: 1) patients with loss of smell function following head injury (post-traumatic anosmics or hyposmics); 2) patients with loss of smell function following severe head colds and/or sinus infections (post-viral olfactory dysfunction, or PVOD); and 3) patients that have lacked smell function since birth (congenital anosmics). Of these, the traumatic anosmics' olfactory epithelia were quite disorganized; the orderly arrangement of supporting cells, ciliated olfactory receptor neurons, microvillar cells, and basal cells was disrupted. Although many somata of ciliated olfactory receptors were present, few of their dendrites reached the epithelial surface. The few olfactory vesicles present usually lacked olfactory cilia. The postviral anosmics, too, had a greatly reduced number of intact ciliated olfactory receptor neurons, and most of those present were aciliate. The post-viral hyposmics had a larger population of intact, ciliated olfactory receptor cells. In the seven cases of congenital anosmia studied, no biopsies of olfactory epithelium were obtained, indicating the olfactory epithelium is either absent - or greatly reduced in area - in these individuals. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Mammalian olfactory neurons possess a well-developed system of endocytic vesicles, endosomes, and lysosomes in their dendrites and perikarya. Vomeronasal neurons are similar and also contain much perikaryal agranular endoplasmic reticulum (AER). Olfactory supporting cells contain endocytic vesicles and endosomes associated closely with abundant fenestrated AER, and vesicles and numerous large dense vacuoles are present basally. Vomeronasal supporting cells have little AER, and few dense vacuoles occur in their bases. In olfactory neurons, ultrastructural tracers (0.08% horseradish peroxidase, thorium dioxide, ferritin) are endocytosed by olfactory receptor endings and transported to the cell body, where their movement is halted in lysosomes. Higher concentrations (1%) of horseradish peroxidase penetrate olfactory receptor plasma membranes and intercellular junctions. In olfactory supporting cells, endocytosed tracers pass through endosomes to accumulate in dense basal vacuoles. These observations indicate that olfactory sensory membranes are rapidly cycled and that endocytosed materials are trapped within the epithelium. It is proposed that in the olfactory epithelium, endocytosis presents redundant odorants to the enzymes of the supporting cell AER to prevent their accumulation, whereas in the vomeronasal epithelium the receptor cells carry out this activity. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The olfactory neuron is specialized along its length into highly determined morphological regions. These regions include the dendritic cilia, dendritic vesicle, dendritic shaft proper, perikaryon, axon, zone of transition where the axon widens as it approaches its termination, and the axon terminal. Except for the zone of transition and the terminal, characteristic populations of microtubules occur in these compartments. In the olfactory vesicle, three discrete microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs) nucleate microtubules: the basal body, the lateral foot associated with the body, and dense masses of nearby material. Little is known about MTOCs elsewhere in the neuron, although the polarity of the axonal microtubules indicate that they originate at or near the perikaryon. An attempt is made to summarize what is known of the origin, structure, distribution, and function of microtubules in vertebrate olfactory neurons, which are useful model systems in which to study microtubules. Information about olfactory neuron microtubules may be applicable to neurons in general (e.g., the discovery that axons contain microtubules of uniform polarity was first made in the olfactory neuron) or to microtubules in other eukaryotic cells. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The fine structure of the zona pellucida (ZP) covering the oocyte and of the mucus covering the surface of the intestinal villi was investigated by using a new method employing ruthenium red (RR), saponin, and osmium-thiocarbohydrazide impregnation.The glycoproteic matrices both appeared constituted by thin filaments (ranging from 22 to 50 nm in thickness) anastomosed to form a very fine network.RR prevented the dissolution and/or alteration of glycoproteins and polyanionic carbohydrates induced by acqueous fixatives. Saponin was a detergent of the soluble proteins. Osmium-thiocarbohydrazide preserved the glycoproteic matrix filaments from the mechanical stress induced by dehydration and critical point drying and reduced filaments packing and shrinkage. The technical improvement was demonstrated by the following results: 1) a regular arrangement of the filaments network; 2) a thickness of mucus filaments smaller than that obtained with other methods of preparation; 3) a homogeneous thickness of ZP filaments.This method allowed a very detailed study of the fine structural organization of the ZP and intestinal mucus. Therefore, this technique can be useful for a better evaluation of the morphodynamic of these and other glycoproteic matrices. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: We have followed the fine structural distribution of two nucleosomal core histones, H2B and H3, and of protamines in the course of mouse spermiogenesis by means of specific antibodies and ultrastructural immunocytochemistry.Our results demonstrate that the nuclear labeling density of histone H2B decreases during steps 6-8 and then increases again in step 9-10 spermatids, while the labeling for histone H3 is constant throughout this period. In step 12 spermatids, the anti-H2B antibody labels mainly the central area of the nucleus. The first signs of protamine labeling are present in step 12 spermatids, where the gold grains can be found over the periphery of the nucleus. Later on, protamine labeling constantly increases and, by the end of spermiogenesis, the whole nucleus is labeled.We suggest that the morphological and structural differences between the central area and the periphery of mouse spermatids are, at least partly, due to a difference in the protein moiety associated with DNA. The central area, which is peculiar to the mouse and has been previously considered as a focus of chromatin condensation, represents, however, the last nuclear region containing histones and consequently the last area where the substitution of histones by protamines takes place.

    Notizen: We have assessed the properties of three intracellular markers, horseradish peroxidase, biocytin/Neurobiotin, and Lucifer Yellow, and have compared their usefulness as neuronal markers for light and electron microscopic visualization. Neurons in the acute slice preparation of rat hippocampus were filled with one of these markers, and the marker was converted to an optical and electron-dense reaction product. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) greatly facilitated penetration of recognition reagents while preserving membrane integrity. The markers were compared with respect to injection parameters, mobility and recognition, stability and visibility, and ultrastructural clarity. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled neurons, recognized histochemically with diaminobenzedine (DAB), were easily visualized by the density of the DAB reaction product; however, the electron density was often so great as to obscure ultrastructural details. Biocytin (BC)-/Neurobiotin (NB)-labeled neurons were recognized by avidin-HRP, followed by histochemical localization of HRP with DAB. The optically dense reaction product gave complete visualization of the soma and processes at the light microscopic level. The electron density was homogeneously distributed throughout the cell, so that ultrastructural features were easily identified. Lucifer Yellow (LY), a fluorescent marker, was converted to an optical and electron-dense reaction product via immunocytochemical staining with a rabbit anti-LY antibody, followed by goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP and DAB histochemical localization. Similar to BC/NB, the reaction product was evenly dispersed, providing good light microscopic and ultrastructural clarity. Under our experimental conditions, BC/NB and LY were superior markers that could be used routinely to label neurons, and give excellent visualization not only at the light but also at the electron microscopic level. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: Uterine aging is in part responsible for a decline in fecundity which begins in middle age in most mammals. Characteristics of uteri from a variety of animals in middle age and old age are reviewed and the factors which may be responsible for this decline discussed. These include age-related changes in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and ovaries; loss of number or function of steroid hormone receptors; morphological changes in the uterine epithelium; the accumulation of collagen fibrils in the uterine stroma; and loss or impairment of the decidual response. The ultra-structural morphology of uterine epithelial, stromal, and decidual tissue from 4 month old and 18 month old Fischer 344 rats is presented and compared. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: The fine structure of the taste buds of circumvallate papillae of two strains of mice was studied by electron microscopy. Mice anesthetized with ketamine were perfused through the heart with a double aldehyde mixture in cacodylate buffer and the tissues embedded in Epon. Semi-serial sections were employed. The morphology and relationships of cell types are consistent with the majority of descriptions of mammalian taste buds served by the ninth cranial nerve. Cells of type II are particularly well documented, as the stages in their origin, maturation and degeneration could be followed. Significant differences, however, relate to cell type I. These cells contain large dense-cored granules, contrasted with the more irregular and somewhat larger dark granules of the type I cells in the rabbit. These granules do not produce a dense homogenous product for the pore, as seen in the rabbit. Rather the pore substance consists of small, empty vesicles in a diffuse dark matrix. These granules are only moderately larger than the dense-cored vesicles of the type III cells. All features of the type III cell were demonstrated, although no instance of a complete cell was seen in any section. No significant differences were noted between the two strains of mice. Intimate proximity of a nerve to a cell nucleolus, suggestive of a trophic pathway, is illustrated. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
