    Notizen: Abstract Aganglionic and ganglionic intestinal specimens from 14 patients with Hirschsprung's disease were examined by immunocytochemistry. The study revealed a reduction in nerve fibers storing vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), substance P (SP), and a total depletion of nerves storing enkephalin and gastrin-releasing peptide in aganglionic intestine. Nerve fibers storing peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) or neurokinin A (NKA) were also examined. It was shown that VIP coexisted with PHI and SP with NKA and that the number of nerve fibers containing these substances was markedly reduced in the smooth-muscle layers in aganglionic bowel. In the mucosa, on the other hand, the innervation was virtually unchanged. Thus, it appears that the mucosa secretory and sensory innervation is not reduced and that the defects in peptidergic innervation in Hirschsprung's disease mainly involve motor neurons.

    Notizen: Abstract The existence of a histidine decarboxylase (HDC)-immunoreactive diencephalo-spinal pathway in the rat was demonstrated using an antiserum raised against HDC from fetal rat liver. HDC-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies were numerous in the ventral and lateral caudal hypothalamus. More caudally, in the mesencephalon, no cell bodies were observed but fairly many, transversely cut nerve fibres, were found in association with the fasiculus longitudinalis medialis bilaterally. At the most caudal medullary level, these longitudinally passing fibres became displaced ventrally to a position just laterally to the pyramidal decussation. In the spinal cord the fibres were more dispersed and rather sparse in most areas. The existence of a diencephalo-spinal HDC-immunoreactive pathway was verified by analyzing material from rats which had received injections of the retrograde fluorescent tracer True Blue into the cervical spinal cord. True Blue fluorescence and HDC immunofluorescence were found to coexist in a subpopulation of the HDC-immunoreactive neurones in the hypothalamus.

    Notizen: Summary The fluorescent acridine derivative, quinacrine, was found to accumulate in rat and mouse pancreatic islet cells storing insulin, glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide, or somatostatin. Following administration of large doses of tolbutamide via an oro-gastric tube, the intensity of quinacrine fluorescence of insulin cells was substantially reduced. Similarly, the pancreatic insulin content was lowered. In contrast, the fluorescence intensity of the glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin cells appeared unaffected. Basal plasma insulin levels in the mouse were slightly elevated following quinacrine administration (25%). Glucose-stimulated insulin release was markedly enhanced (51%) in quinacrine-pretreated animals, whereas insulin release induced by cholinergic stimulation was unaffected. The results show that quinacrine accumulates in the various pancreatic islet cells. The drug seems to be confined to the secretory granules and affects the insulin response to glucose but not that to cholinergic stimulation, suggesting that these secretagogues act through different or partly different secretory pathways.

    Notizen: Summary The immunocytochemical distribution of substance P (SP), gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) was studied in the ovary and the Fallopian tube (oviduct) of rats, guinea-pigs, cows, pigs and humans. Generally, the nerve supply was better developed in the oviduct than in the ovary. GRP fibers were most scarce in all tissues. Nerves containing SP were particularly numerous in the oviduct of rat and guinea-pig, supplying the muscular wall and blood vessels. VIP and PHI coexisted in dense plexuses of nerves, not only around blood vessels but also in the follicular wall and the interstitial gland of the ovary, as well as within the smooth muscle layers and subepithelially in the oviduct. The general distribution of NPY was similar, but these immunoreactive nerves were even more numerous. Sequential staining for dopamine-β-hydroxylase and NPY together with results of chemical sympathectomy with 6-hydroxydopamine suggested that NPY was stored in the noradrenergic sympathetic nerves.

    Notizen: Summary Antibodies to histamine were used to examine the localization of the amine in cells of the stomach and upper small intestine of a great variety of species, including cartilaginous and bony fish, amphibia, reptiles (lizard), birds (chicken) and a large number of mammals. In all species gastric histamine was localized in endocrine cells (invariably found in the epithelium) and mast cells (usually with an extra-epithelial localization). The endocrine cells were identified as such by immunostaining with antibodies to chromogranin A and the mast cells were identified by toluidine blue staining. Histamine-immunoreactive endocrine cells were found almost exclusively in the acid-producing part of the stomach; only rarely were such cells observed in the pyloric gland area. They were fairly numerous in the gastric mucosa of the two subclasses of fish as well as in the amphibia and reptile species studied. Here, the majority of the histamine-immunoreactive endocrine cells seemed to have contact with the gastric lumen (open type cells) and were located in the surface epithelium (certain fish only) or together with mucous neck cells at the bottom of the pits. In the chicken, histamine-immunoreactive endocrine cells were numerous and located peripherally in the deep compound glands. They were without contact with the lumen (closed type) and had long basal extensions (“paracrine” appearance), running close to the base of the oxyntico-peptic cells. In mammals, the number of histamine-immunoreactive endocrine cells in the stomach varied greatly. They were particularly numerous in the rat and notably few in the dog, monkey and man. In all mammals, the histamine-immunoreactive endocrine cells were of the closed type and located basally in the oxyntic glands. They often had a “paracrine” appearance with long basal processes. Histamine-storing mast cells, finally, were few in both subclasses of fish as well as in the amphibian species and in the lizard. They were fairly numerous in chicken proventriculus (beneath the surface epithelium), few in the oxyntic mucosa of mouse, rat and hamster, moderate in number in hedge-hog, guinea-pig, rabbit, pig and monkey, and numerous in cat, dog and man. In the oxyntic mucosa of the latter three species mast cells sometimes seemed to have an intraepithelial localization which made their distinction from endocrine cells difficult. In newborn cats (1–3 days old) in human foetuses (17–24 weeks gestational age) mast cells were relatively few in the gastric mucosa and the histamine-containing endocrine cells were easier to demonstrate as a consequence. Patients with achlorhydria (and pernicious anemia) or suffering from hypergastrinemia due to gastrinoma had a greatly increased number of histamine-storing endocrine cells in the oxyntic mucosa compared with normal individuals.

    Notizen: Abstract We have examined the occurrence and distribution of endocrine cells storing serotonin and the regulatory peptides somatostatin, glicentin, peptide YY in rectal mucosa on 16 patients with prolapse or intussusception of the rectum. There were no significant differences compared with normal rectal mucosa. Our results do not support the assumption that these endocrine cells of the rectum are involved in the pathophysiology of rectal prolapse.

    Notizen: Abstract At present our knowledge of enteric peptide-containing neurons in man is limited. In this study we have used human appendices removed at surgery to examine the peptidergic innervation by immunocytochemistry, immunochemistry, and pharmacological in vitro experiments. Immunocytochemistry revealed a variety of peptide-containing nerve fiber populations in the human appendix. VIP/PHI-, VIP/PHI/NPY-, SP/NKA-, galanin-, and enkephalin-containing nerve fibers were numerous; CGRP- and GRP- containing nerve fibers were moderate in number, while only scattered NPY-, enkephalin/BAM-, and somatostatin-containing nerve fibers could be found. No CCK-, dynorphin A-, or dynorphin B- immunoreactive nerve fibers could be detected. The coexistence of VIP/PHI, SP/NKA, and enkaphalin/BAM can be anticipated from the known sequence of their respective precursors. However, the coexistence of VIP/PHI and NPY was unexpected but corroborates previous observations in other species. Interestingly, SP and CGRP did not seem to coexist in nerve fibers of the human appendix. Immunochemistry (RIA and HPLC) confirmed the presence of VIP, NPY, SP, galanin, CGRP, GRP, enkephalin, and somatostatin. Motor activity studies suggest that acetylcholine plays a major role in the electrically evoked contractions, since atropine suppressed these contractions. Galanin (10−8-10−6 M) and GRP (10−9-10−7 M) caused concentration-dependent contractions that were unaffected by tetrodotoxin and thus probably reflect a direct action on smooth muscle receptors. GRP (10−9 M) enhanced the electrically induced cholinergic contraction (to 193±24%), while met-enkephalin (10−6 M) reduced it (to 54±6%). Both peptides failed to affect the contractile response to exogenous acetylcholine and probably act to modulate the release of acetylcholine. NPY, VIP, CGRP, SP, and somatostatin failed to induce contraction or to affect the electrically evoked contractions.

    Notizen: Summary The origin and distribution in the urinary bladder of nerve fibers containing neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and substance P (SP) were investigated in rats. Experimental procedures comprised preganglionic decentralization or postganglionic denervation of the bladder and also chemical sympathectomy as well as capsaicin treatment of newborn rats. Nerve fibers containing NPY were richly distributed in the detrusor muscle and also in the pelvic ganglia. Numerous NPY-containing nerve cell bodies were found in pelvic ganglia. A rich occurrence of VIP fibers and a more sparse distribution of SP-containing fibers were also found in the bladder as well as a relatively rich representation of VIP- containing nerve cell bodies in the pelvic ganglia. After decentralization the intensity of VIP and NPY immunofluorescence increased in nerve cell bodies of the pelvic ganglia and in nerve fibers in the wall of the bladder. Postganglionic denervation, on the other hand, eliminated all peptides examined in the bladder wall. After postganglionic denervation the situation in the ganglia was approximately the same as after decentralization. Chemical sympathectomy (6-OHDA) did not seem to change significantly the frequency and distribution of VIP-, SP- and NPY-fibers in the muscle layer of the bladder or in the pelvic ganglia, while the NPY-containing nerve fibers in the submucosal layer and around blood vessels of the bladder disappeared. Adrenergic nerve fibers in the wall of the bladder (visualized by histofluorescence) were markedly reduced in number after administration of 6-OHDA. Capsaicin-treatment of newborn rats caused a loss of SP-fibers in the wall of the bladder, supporting the view that these fibers are sensory in nature in the urinary bladder. Although it cannot be entirely excluded that NPY-containing fibers in the wall of the bladder are adrenergic, the present results suggest that the NPY-fibers as well as the VIP-fibers of the bladder wall originate mainly in non-adrenergic cell bodies of the pelvic ganglia. However, perivascular NPY-containing nerve fibers are adrenergic in nature.

    Notizen: Summary Nerve fibres displaying immunoreactivity to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are abundantly distributed in the respiratory tract of man, dog, cat, guineapig, rat and mouse. Numerous fine, beaded CGRP fibres were seen in the middle ear mucosa, and a moderate supply was found in the ear drum. In the nasal mucosa and in the wall of the Eustachian tube CGRP fibres occurred around blood vessels, arteries in particular. A conspiciously rich supply of CGRP fibres was seen beneath and within the epithelium. In addition, a few fibres were seen in smooth muscle bundles and close to sero-mucous glands. In the tracheo-bronchial wall CGRP fibres were distributed beneath and within the epithelium, in vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle and sometimes close to small glands. A few CGRP-immunoreactive endocrine-like cells were, in addition, distributed in the tracheal epithelium of cat, rat and mouse. The trigeminal, spinal and nodose ganglia, studied in rats and guinea-pigs, harboured numerous CGRP-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies. The cervical sympathetic ganglia were devoid of immunoreactive neuronal perikarya. Surgical and chemical (6-hydroxydopamine treatment) sympathectomy did not affect the number and distribution of CGRP fibres. The distribution of CGRP fibres in the respiratory tract suggests that CGRP may take part in sensory transmission. In addition, CGRP may affect the regulation of local blood flow, smooth muscle tone and glandular secretion.
