    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La mise en évidence, dans la cellule folliculaire thyroïdienne et par la réaction de Gömöri, de précipités de phosphate de plomb dans des localisations inhabituelles telles que hyaloplasme apical et microvillosités, nous a amenés à préciser qu'il s'agissait d'activités phosphatasiques acides authentiques: la constance des résultats, malgré divers contrôles et variantes apportés à la technique cytochimique originale, tout comme la variation d'importance des précipités en relation directe avec l'état d'activité de la cellule, permettent de penser qu'il ne s'agit pas d'artefacts, mais bein d'activité enzymatique. L'origine de cette activité est discutée: il s'agirait vraisemblablement d'une diffusion d'origine lysosomiale due à une perméabilité sélective de la membrane des lysosomes liée à un déséquilibre entre les quantités d'enzyme présente au sein de ces organites et de substrat utilisé. Une telle relation dépend au moins en partie de l'état fonctionnel de la cellule, et comporte donc des facteurs échappant à un contrôle systématique au cours de la manipulation. Toutefois il reste à explique d'une part la relation entre ces phénomènes de diffusion et l'état d'activité ou de repos de la cellule, d'autre part le fait que sur cet objet il n'ait pas été possible d'éviter la diffusion dans la technique de Gömöri, même en agissant sur les nombreux paramètres en cause; certaines données de la littérature sur des localisations phsophatasiques acides extralysosomiales devraient sans doute être revues dans la même perspecitive critique.
    Notes: Summary With the Gömöri technique, lead precipitates have been found in thyroid follicle cells in unusual localizations such as apical hyaloplasm and microvilli; it has been established that they were actually significant for acid phosphatase activity: constant results in spite of repeated controls and several variations from the original cytochemical technique, allow to think that lead precipitates were not merely artefactual, but actually significant of enzymatic activity. However it is pointed to the fact that the origin of the enzyme has to be questioned; it is assumed that most likely acid phosphatase has diffused from its original lysosomal site. Such diffusion implies variations of the selective permeability of lysosomal membranes: inappropriate relation between the quantity of enzyme present in these organelles and the quantity of substrate used might also be considered, though changes in the amount (resp. concentration) of substrate remained ineffective and induced no modification in the localization of observed enzymatic activity. In addition, one point of interest is an obvious relation between the observed enzyme diffusion and the state of activity resp. rest of the cell; in the present state of investigations, this remains unexplained and likely related to factors escaping control during processing; moreover, no explanation can be provided for the fact that it revealed impossible to avoid such diffusion even by means of variations of the numerous parameters involved in the Gömöri technique. So that it finally appears necessary to remain on a critical position regarding the results at the ultrastructural level of this standardized technique, and there is no doubt it would reveal useful that several assumptions in the literature about extra lysosomal acid phosphatase activity should be reinvestigated with a similar critical purpose.

    Notes: Summary Porcine thyroid cells were cultured alone or in mixed cultures with mesenchymal cells. The formation of a basal lamina in vitro was investigated ultrastructurally. Follicular reassociation of thyroid cells occurred in both types of culture; however, it was followed by formation of the basal lamina only when mesenchymal cells were present. The present findings suggest an epithelial origin of the basal lamina resulting from an interaction with mesenchymal cells.

    Notes: Summary When cultured in polystyrene dishes subjected to previous treatment and supplied with a serum-containing medium, hog thyroid cells form monolayers displaying dome-like arrangements after three to four days. Cells involved in formation of “domes” are morphologically polarized; the apical microvilli of these cells point toward the culture medium. When the tissue is cultured in untreated polystyrene dishes, thyroid cells remain in suspension; their aggregates swell progressively and form hollow spheres encompassed by a single layer of cells. The polarity of the cells forming such spheres is inverse in comparison to the condition characteristic of the intact thyroid gland. When culture medium is supplemented with TSH, PGE1 PGE2 or dBC, structures resembling true follicles are formed in both types of cultures. Gelatin, added to suspension cultures, is also capable of promoting follicle formation. Cultured thyroid cells regularly form an epithelial layer as a result of the interaction of cellular processes. However, the polarization of this layer depends on culture conditions. Thus, structures with either a normal follicle-like polarization of their cells or showing an inverted type of polarization can be obtained.
