    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die mehrkernigen Riesenzellen des zentralen Riesenzellgranuloms entstehen durch Zellfusion aus den Pericyten der Kapillaren. In der vorliegenden Studie werden die Funktionsmerkmale der Riesenzellen durch Kombination histologischer, histochemischer und elektronenmikroskopischer Methoden untersucht. In den mehrkernigen Riesenzellen ließen sich in Übereinstimmung mit älteren Untersuchungen die lysosomalen Enzyme saure Phosphatase und Aminopeptidase nachweisen. Das lysosomale System der Riesenzellen befähigt diese zur aktiven Phagocytoseleistung. Darüber hinaus können sich die Riesenzellen neugebildeten Geflechtknochenbälkchen anlagern und osteoclastäre Funktionen übernehmen. Die enzymhistochemische und funktioneile Ähnlichkeit mit den mehrkernigen Osteoclasten wirft die Frage nach einer vergleichbaren Cytogenese beider Zellformen auf.
    Notes: Summary Multinucleated giant cells in giant cell granuloma are formed by cell fusion of capillary pericytes. In our present study we tried to analyze cell function and activity by histologic, histochemical, and electronmicroscopic examination of giant cells. Lysosomal enzymes such as acid phosphatase and amino-peptidase were found in giant cells which is in agreement with former work. By their lysosomal system giant cells are proved phagocytic. In addition, giant cells being localized at trabecular surfaces of newly formed woven bone may develop osteoclastic functions. The enzymatic and functional resemblance of giant cells and multinucleated osteoclasts points to the possibility of a similar cytogenesis of both cell types.

    Notes: Summary A case of small cell neuroendocrine (oat cell) carcinoma of the breast in a 52-year old male is presented. Oat cell carcinomas have been reported in various extrapulmonary sites, but this is the second case of a primary oat cell carcinoma of the breast and the first one to have been documented in a male. The tumor was investigated histologically, immunocytochemically and ultrastructurally. The relationship to so-called “carcinoid” mammary tumors is discussed.

    Notes: Summary 18 bone-forming tumours and tumour-like lesions were investigated immunocytochemically for the presence of osteonectin. A group of non-bone-forming skeletal tumours (five cartilage-forming tumours, four Ewing sarcomas and five extraskeletal sarcomas) served as controls. The studies showed that osteonectin antibodies react reliably with benign and malignant bone-forming tumours (two cases of fibrous dysplasia, three osteoid osteomas, 13 osteosarcomas). This finding was supported by protein blot studies. Osteonectin is formed by cells which do not yet possess the morphological phenotype of osteoblasts and may be regarded as a “differentiation marker” of the osteoblastic lineage. Only chondroid bone (tissue in which chondrocytes were surrounded by osteoid matrix containing type I and type II collagen) showed a positive reaction. All other primary skeletal tumours and extraskeletal soft tissue tumours were completely negative.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bisherige Untersuchungen an zentralen Riesenzellgranulomen des Gesichts-Kieferbereiches haben die Histogenese dieser tumorähnlichen Knochenerkrankung nicht klären können. Wir untersuchten daher zwei bioptisch gesicherte zentrale Riesenzellgranulome unter dieser Fragestellung histochemisch und elektronenmikroskopisch. Histochemisch findet sich eine enge Enzymverwandtschaft zwischen den mehrkernigen Riesenzellen und den Pericyten der Kapillaren, die das Granulom dicht durchsetzen. Elektronenmikroskopisch zeigen sich typische Membranphänomene der Zellfusion zwischen den mehrkernigen Riesenzellen und den Pericyten. Die für das Granulom charakteristischen mehrkernigen Riesenzellen entstehen daher durch Zellfusion aus den Pericyten, die als ihre Stammzellen angesehen werden müssen. Da die Pericyten das Granulom auch in Form zahlreicher blinder Kapillarsprossen durchsetzen, erklärt sich die Entwicklung einer Vielzahl von Riesenzellen. Die Ursachen, die diesem Verhalten der Pericyten aetiologisch zugrunde liegen, sind unbekannt. Ob die Cytogenese der Riesenzellen des zentralen Riesenzellgranuloms Modellcharakter hat und analog auch für die Entwicklung von Riesenzellen in anderen Gewebsneubildungen oder für die Enstehung der mehrkernigen Osteoclasten gilt, muß weiteren Untersuchungen vorbehalten bleiben.
    Notes: Summary Until now numerous studies on central giant cell granuloma of jawbones have not been able to reveal the histogenesis of this tumourlike lesion. The aim of the present investigation in two surgically proven cases was to study this question by means of histochemical and electron-microscopic methods. Rather similar histochemieal properties were shown in giant cells and pericytes of capillary sprouts penetrating the granuloma. Cell fusion occurred between both cell types as was observed by electron microscopy. The process of cell fusion is defined by characteristic interdigitations of cell membranes. Therefore pericytes are believed to be the stem cells of multinucleated giant cells in giant cell granuloma. The abundance of giant cells usually occurring in the granuloma might be explained by plenty of capillary sprouts made up by clusters of pericytes. The factors inducing the pericytic cell fusion process are still unknown. The question arises whether cytogenesis of giant cells in giant cell granuloma might be similar in other giant cell lesions or even in the development of multinucleated osteoclasts.

    Notes: Summary As shown previously clonidine reduces glucose-stimulated insulin release and this effect is mediated by inhibitory postsynaptic α2-adrenoceptors. The present experiments demonstrate that clonidine has the additional property to also stimulate insulin release. This became evident when the a2-adrenoceptors of isolated islets were blocked by benextramine, and thus protected from being stimulated by clonidine. In the presence of benextramine, clonidine no longer reduced, but on the contrary enhanced, the release of insulin in response to glucose. In control experiments benextramine by itself failed to affect insulin release from isolated islets. These results show that the imidazoline derivative clonidine shares the property of other imidazoline compounds to enhance the insulin response to glucose. All of these agents may stimulate insulin by binding to “imidazoline-preferring” sites, that clearly differ from α-adrenoceptors.

    Notes: Summary As we have demonstrated previously phentolamine stimulates the release of additional insulin from isolated mouse islets and raises plasma insulin levels in the whole rat. This effect was independent of the well known property of phentolamine to block α-adrenoceptors. In experiments on isolated pancreatic islets from mice we now demonstrate that tolazoline and antazoline which are chemically closely related to phentolamine, share its ability to potentiate insulin release. The following results were taken as evidence that this effect does not result from an a-adrenoceptor blocking action of imidazoline compounds. More than 10 times higher concentrations of phentolamine were required to liberate additional insulin from isolated islets than were effective in counteracting the inhibitory effect of clonidine on insulin release. The newly introduced α2-adrenoceptor antagonist BDF 8933, which is an imidazoline derivative, stimulates insulin release as well, while the irreversible α-adrenoceptor blocking agent benextramine of different structure failed to do so, even when being present in concentrations blocking the α2-adrenoceptor-mediated effects of clonidine. Antazoline shared the ability of phentolamine to stimulate insulin release despite having no or only very little α-adrenoceptor blocking activity. When used under our conditions, it almost entirely failed to alleviate the inhibition of insulin release induced by clonidine. We conclude that the response of the islet cells to imidazoline derivatives is not limited to those capable of blocking α-adrenoceptors. On the other hand, α-adrenoceptor blocking agents of different chemical structure fail to induce the release of additional insulin. We take this as evidence that in our experiments the islet cells respond to imidazoline derivatives and not to α-adrenoceptor blockade.

    Notes: Summary Bone matrix consists of type-I collagen and noncollagenous proteins. The latter represent only 10% of its total protein content. Since type-I collagen is also present in various other connective tissue sites (e.g., skin) it cannot be considered as bone specific. Among the non-collagenous components osteonectin — a 32 kilodalton (KD) glycoprotein linking mineral to collagen fibrils — is thought to be bone specific due to its biochemical properties. In the present study various skeletal and non-skeletal tissues were investigated for the presence of osteonectin by means of immunocytochemical methods. Two polyclonal antibodies against human and bovine osteonectin were applied. Immunocytochemically, osteonectin could be demonstrated in active osteoblasts and osteoprogenitor cells as well as in young osteocytes, while aged, quiescent osteocytes did not contain the protein, suggesting that the protein is a marker of the osteoblastic functional differentiation of bone cells. Osteonectin was absent in all non-skeletal tissues with the exception of chondrocytes in so-called mineralizing chondroid bone.
