    Notizen: Abstract Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was topographically investigated in the presumptive cardiac conduction tissue regions visualized by HNK-1 immunoreactivity in rat embryos, and AChE-positive cells were examined with the electron microscope. On embryonic day (ED) 14.5, when HNK-1 was most intensely visualized, AChE activity could not be detected enzyme-histochemically in the conduction tissue regions, except in the ventricular trabeculae and part of the AV node. On ED 16.5, however, the AChE activity was clearly demonstrated in some parts of the developing conduction tissue. One exception was the AV node region, where an AChE-positive area was in close proximity to an area showing HNK-1 immunoreactivity but did not overlap. Furthermore, AChE activity was demonstrated predominantly in the ventricular trabeculae, including cardiac myocytes, but was rather weak in the atrium. With the electron microscope, AChE reaction products were observed predominantly intracellulary in both developing conduction tissue cells and developing ordinary myocytes, and no reactivity was found in neuronal components. From ED 18.5 until birth, both AChE activity and HNK-1 immunoreactivity faded away in the conduction tissue. Thus, transient AChE activity in the embryonic heart seems to be different from the developing adult form and may be related to a morphogenetic function in embryonic tissues, as proposed by other authors.

    Notizen: Abstract  We have developed mouse monoclonal antibodies (AHA-1–5, all IgG1 sub-isotype mAbs) against histamine (HA) conjugated to bovine serum albumin using glutaraldehyde-NaBH4. Among these, AHA-1 mAb was found to be the most useful for HA immunocytochemistry (ICC) in terms of specificity and sensitivity without non-specific immunobinding. AHA-1 was demonstrated to be specific to HA with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) binding test, simulating the ICC of tissue sections, and not reactive to any of the other amino acids and peptides with N-terminal histidine tested. By use of this antibody, indirect immunoperoxidase staining was observed in rat stomach fixed with glutaraldehyde (GA) in combination with NaBH4 reduction. In contrast, no immunoreactivity was seen in tissue fixed only with GA. Absorption controls indicated that the immunostaining could be completely inhibited by GA-conjugated HA, which was consistent with the results of an ELISA inhibition test. No cross-reactivity occurred with other GA-conjugated amino acids. ICC staining was dense in the cytoplasm of gastric enterochromaffin-like cells and very weak in mast cells. A new finding was that staining was noticed in some cell bands of the intermediate layer between the stratum lucidum and the stratum corneum of the stratified squamous epithelium of the gastric cardia, esophagus, tongue, and skin in rats. The results strongly suggest that the monoclonal antibody allowed highly specific detection of HA in animal tis- sues.

    Notizen: Summary Short-term effects of CaCl2-treatment on parathyroid cells of the rat, especially on their storage granules, were studied at the ultrastructural level. After an injection of 4% CaCl2, serum calcium levels (SCL) rapidly increased from 9.1 mg/dl (controls) to a maximum of 14.9 mg/dl at 20 min. At 5 min after the injection, the number of type-I storage granules (large core) [NSG-I] and that of type-II storage granules (small core) [NSG-II] remained unchanged, in spite of elevated SCL (12.4 mg/dl). As soon as SCL rose to 13.2 mg/dl at 7.5 min, NSG-I gradually decreased to a minimum at 30 min; in contrast, NSG-II gradually increased to a maximum at 30 min. Vacuolar bodies also increased together with the augmentation of type-II storage granules. The average diameter of the core of the storage granules decreased significantly after the injection. Protein A-gold method for immunocytochemistry showed that the cores of these granules contain parathormone. Acid-phosphatase activity was occasionally found in storage granules of both types, especially in those of type II. It is concluded (i) that type-I storage granules may be transformed into vacuolar bodies via type-II granules as a result of hydrolysis, and (ii) that these processes may be accelerated during hypercalcemia.

    Notizen: Summary Electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry for the demonstration of parathormone in parathyroid chief cells was performed in adult male rats, gerbils, mice, and dogs, using the protein A-gold technique. Protein A-gold particles were detected over both large and small secretory granules in all the animals examined. In the former, they were concentrated not only over type-I granules with a large core, but also over type-II granules with a small core. They were also located over atypical granules, including heterogeneously dense granules, granules having vesicles in a finely particulate core, and distorted granules. All labelled secretory granules were characterized by the presence of a clear halo of varying width around the core. Occasionally, Golgi cisternae as well as Golgi vacuoles with a finely particular content were also labelled. The labelling of the secretory granules was strong in dogs, moderate in rats and gerbils, and weak in mice. In addition, it was more intense in the non-osmicated preparations than in the osmicated preparations. The frequency of both types of large granules showed species differences. The possible factors involved in these differences are discussed.

    Notizen: Summary To determine both a threshold value of calcium concentration (CC) for the release of storage granules and that for the acceleration of degradation of these granules, the rat parathyroid glands were perfused in situ with HEPES-Ringer solutions containing different concentration of Ca2+ for 10 min. With perfusates containing 0.83–1.21 mM Ca2+ (equivalent to 8–11 mg/dl serum calcium), the number of type-I storage granules (large core) [NSG-I] and that of type-II storage granules (small core) [NSG-II] remained unchanged. With perfusates containing 0.83 mM Ca2+ (7.5 mg/dl) or less, however, both NSG-I and NSG-II decreased remarkably and the former was larger than the latter. On the contrary, with perfusates containing 1.27 mM Ca2+ (11.5 mg/dl) or more, NSG-II increased and the ratio of NSG-I to NSG-II was changed reversely. We concluded that a thereshold value of CC required for the release of storage granules may be present between 0.88 and 0.83 mM Ca2+ (8 and 7.5 mg/dl) and that a threshold value of CC for accelerating the transformation of type-I granules into type-II, the degradation of storage granules, may be situated at about 1.27 mM Ca2+ (11.5 mg/dl). Additionally, it was suggested that both prosecretory and storage granules are not only formed at the innermost Golgi cisterna but also at the trans-Golgi network.

    Notizen: Summary In the rat parathyroid, the mean number of storage granules (NSG) per chief cell has been electron-microscopically studied and correlated with the mean serum calcium level (SCL). In animals given 4% CaCl2 plus vitamin D2 for 3 days, SCL is significantly elevated and NSG is increased. When these animals are injected with 2% EDTA, SCL is lowered to 8 mg/dl, but NSG is not affected; in those injected with 4% EDTA, however, SCL declines to a minimum (5.8 mg/dl) after 30 min, and NSG is also decreased. Control SCL are 8.9 mg/dl. These results indicate that storage granules may not be released until SCL is depressed to a certain level. In rats 3 weeks after castration, the chief cells show hyperplastic changes and SCL is at a low concentration (8.0 mg/dl). NSG, however, remains almost within control limits. Castrated animals injected with 4% EDTA show a hypocalcemia and a decrease in NSG, but NSG gradually recovers over a period of 6h. These data suggest that storage granules can be produced even under lower calcium concentrations. It is concluded that storage granules may be constantly produced and stored, and are released only as an emergency supply of hormone.

    Notizen: Summary Freeze-fracture images of the parenchymal cells in the parathyroid gland of rats were observed after vitamin D2 plus calcium chloride-suppression and EGTA-activation of secretion. In cells of the suppressed glands, large bulges protruded from the Golgi cisternae, and large granules with a stalk, which are identified as storage granules, suggest that, during maturation, some storage granules may be connected by long tubules with the Golgi cisternae and supplied with secretory products from the Golgi cisternae via these tubules. In the activated glands, presumptive exocytotic and endocytotic specializations of intramembranous particles of the parenchymal cell plasma membrane were frequently observed. In addition, elevations and complementary shallow depressions of various shape and extent were occasionally encountered in the intercellular space. From their morphological characteristics it was concluded that these originated from secretory granule cores, which are discharged from the parenchymal cells into the intercellular space by exocytosis, and it was suggested that discharged granule cores may retain their spherical shape until they fuse to form a flat conglomerate.
