    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé En appliquant la technique autoradiographique, on a étudié la distribution cellulaire et subcellulaire de la radioactivité dans les îlots pancréatiques de la souris après une injection intra-veineuse de3H-5-hydroxytryptophane. Des grains d'argent autoradiographiques dont la plupart représentent probablement de la 5-hydroxytryptamine qui s'est formée à partir du précurseur marqué, sont apparus sur les cellules A2 et B, tandis que très peu de grains ont été trouvés sur les cellules A1 à chacun des examens (entre 20 min et 16 h) et de même après l'inhibition de la monoamine-oxidase. L'analyse quantitative des coupes autoradiographiques a révélé que la concentration de grains d'argent sur les granules spécifiques des cellules A2 et B était 5 à 10 fois plus élevée que sur les parties restantes de ces cellules. Sur les cellules A2 le nombre le plus élevé de grains a été noté 20 min après l'injection du marqueur et sur les cellules B une heure après cette injection. Au bout de 8 h, il n'apparaissait que très peu de grains d'argent sur les cellules des îlots, et plus aucun au bout de 16 h. L'inhibition de la monoamine-oxidase a provoqué une augmentation de la rétention de marqueur sur les cellules des îlots, plus prononcée sur les cellules A2. Un traitement préalable à la réserpine a supprimé cette réaction autoradiographique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der Technik der Autoradiographie wurde die zelluläre und subzelluläre Verteilung der Radioaktivität nach intravenöser Applikation von3H-5-Hydroxytryptophan in den Pankreasinseln der Maus untersucht. Die autoradiographischen Silberkörner, welche zumeist 5-Hydroxytryptamin darstellen, das aus der radioaktiven Ausgangssubstanz gebildet worden war, erschienen über den A2 und B-Zellen, während nach jedem untersuchten Zeitintervall (20 min–16 Std) auch wenn die Monoamino-Oxidase gehemmt wurde, nur sehr wenige Körner über den A1-Zellen erschienen. Quantitative Untersuchungen der Autoradiographieschnitte zeigten, daß die Konzentration der Silberkörner über den spezifischen Granula der A2-Zellen und der B-Zellen etwa 5–10 mal höher als über den restlichen Teilen der Zellen war. In den A2-Zellen wurde die höchste Körnerkonzentration nach 20 min, in den B-Zellen 1 Std nach Injektion der markierten Substanz festgestellt. Nach 8 Std zeigten sich nur wenige, nach 16 Std keine Silberkörner mehr über den Inselzellen. Die Hemmung der Monoamino-Oxidase verursachte eine vermehrte Anreicherung von Radioaktivität über den Inselzellen, am meisten über den A2-Zellen. Eine Vorbehandlung mit Reserpin verhinderte die autoradiographische Darstellung.
    Notes: Summary By application of autoradiographic technique the cellular and subcellular distribution of radio-activity in mouse pancreatic islets was investigated following intravenous administration of3H-5-hydroxytryptophan. Autoradiographic silver grains, most of which probably represent 5-hydroxytryptamine formed from the labelled precursor, appeared over A2 and B cells, whereas very few grains were recorded over A1 cells at any time investigated (20 min–16 hours) and also when monoamine oxidase was inhibited. Quantitative analysis of autoradiographic sections revealed that the concentration of silver grains over the specific granules of A2 and B cells was 5–10 times higher than over the remaining parts of these cells. In A2 cells the highest grain count was recorded at 20 minutes, in B cells at 1 hour after the injection of label. After 8 hours very few, and after 16 hours no silver grains appeared over islet cells. Inhibition of monoamine oxidase caused an increased retention of label over islet cells, most pronounced over A2 cells. Pretreatment with reserpine abolished the autoradiographic reaction.

    Notes: Summary The cellular and subcellular distribution of radioactivity in the mouse thyroid gland different times (20 min — 8 hours) after intravenous administration of 3H-L-DOPA was studied by means of quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography. High concentrations of autoradiographic silver grains occur over parafollicular cells and adrenergic nerves while the labelling of follicular cells and lumina is low or absent and similar to the labelling of connective tissue cells at all observation times. Over the parafollicular cells high levels of radioactivity can be recorded already 20 min after administration of the labelled amino acid. The grain counts are highest at 1 hour and decrease then at 2.5 and 8 hours. The intracellular distribution of label is similar at all observation times; thus, the concentration of silver grains over the typical cytoplasmic granules of the parafollicular cells is 4–5 times higher compared to the concentration over the remainder of the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Treatment with a decarboxylase inhibitor prior to the injection of 3H-L-DOPA results in a low and uniform labelling of all thyroid cells. This finding, taken together with the observation that also pretreatment with reserpine abolishes the autoradiographic reaction over the cytoplasmic granules, gives strong support to the idea that the great majority of silver grains observed over parafollicular cells represents dopamine formed by decarboxylation of the labelled precursor.

    Notes: Summary The protothyroid region in the endostyles of four species of tunicates was examined by means of autoradiography and cytochemistry, at both the light and electronmicroscopic levels. To reveal the primary binding site for iodine, autoradiography was carried out on endostylar tissue from animals that had been incubated with high activity 125I- over a short period of time. The specific iodine binding enzyme, a peroxidase, was traced by its reaction with DAB. In accordance with previous findings, the iodinebinding cells proved to be the same as those containing the peroxidase. There were also strong indications of a secondary uptake of iodinated compounds and subsequent release into the body fluid. Together with the ultrastructural features, the data provided strong evidence indicating that these cells constitute a protothyroid region, which partly functions as an endocrine organ, possibly homologous with the vertebrate thyroid gland. Since the number of zones varied between the species, the numeration of the protothyroid region also varied. However, in all the examined endostyles, the protothyroid region was seen to be situated dorsolaterally to the glandular regions of the endostyle concerned with food capture.

    Notes: Summary The site of iodination in the endostyle of the adult amphioxus was examined by light-and electron-microscopic autoradiography. In accordance with previous studies, light-microscopic autoradiography showed a distinct accumulation of autoradiographic grains at the apical end of epithelial cells in the lateral part of the endostyle. In the electron microscope two distinct cellular zones were identified in an approximate position of the light-microscopic zone 5. Zone 5a, not previously recognized, was adjacent to zone 4 and consisted of six to nine rows of cells free of characteristic granules. Cells in zone 5b contained large “mucous” granules and had, in previous ultrastructural studies, been identified as belonging to the typical zone 5. Four or less incomplete rows of granule-containing cells, not observed in previous studies, marked the border between zones 5b and 6. After incubation in 125I for 5 min, electron-microscopic autoradiography showed a selective concentration of label to zone 5a, which, thus, corresponds to the iodination centre seen in the light microscope. The grains were associated with cilia and microvilli in the lumen. After longer incubation times (30, 60, 90 min) grains were still concentrated at the surface of zone 5a but were also associated with the surface of zones 5b and 6. Grains were also located over the cytoplasm of all three zones. They were associated with vesicles and lysosome-like structures, suggesting secondary uptake of labelled products by endocytosis. Methimazole, an inhibitor of peroxidase, abolished the autoradiographic reaction. In conclusion, the site of iodination in the endostyle of amphioxus is located in zone 5a, which has not previously been ultrastructurally defined. Iodination in the endostyle is an extracellular process, but secondary uptake by endocytosis appears to occur.
