In mouse pituitary corticotroph-derived AtT-20 cells, SgIII plays a role in sorting CgA/hormone aggregates into secretory granules (SGs). Although CgA expression is equivocal, CgB is clearly detectable in the rat pituitary corticotrophs. Therefore, we hypothesized that CgB shares a function with CgA in pituitary corticotrophs. In the binding assays, CgB, similar to CgA, showed binding activity to SgIII under weakly acidic conditions and in the presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Considering the differences in animal species, the different abilities of antibodies, and the conditions of tissue fixation and thin sectioning in immunofluorescence histochemistry, we found that CgA was expressed in a small population (approximately 10%), and its expression intensity was weaker than that of CgB (>98%) in rodent pituitary corticotrophs. In addition, similar to CgA, CgB and SgIII were colocalized in adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) granules. The labeling of CgA and CgB was not completely consistent, and CgB colocalized with SgIII in many granules. These results suggest that there are multiple sorting systems for ACTH granules in pituitary corticotrophs and that the SgIII/CgB complex behaves more dominantly than the SgIII/CgA complex, which has somewhat different properties.</p>","PeriodicalId":16079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"29-53"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11719422/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The therapeutic effects of TFFs, particularly the TFF3 protein, have been well studied in humans and in animal models of gastrointestinal injury, whereas little is known about their occurrence and function in the urinary bladder. In this study, we investigated the presence, location, and function of Tff3 in the urinary bladders of wild-type mice (Tff3<sup>WT</sup>) and compared them with Tff3 knockout mice (Tff3<sup>KO</sup>) using molecular and microscopic methods at the light and electron microscopic level. Our results show that Tff3 is expressed in the superficial cells of the urothelium, where it colocalizes with the uroplakin UP1b as one of the fundamental structural components of the apical plasma membrane, which is an important component of the blood-urine permeability barrier. Analysis of the urothelium with experimentally induced injury revealed that injury is more severe in Tff3<sup>KO</sup> mice and urothelial regeneration is attenuated compared with Tff3<sup>WT</sup> mice, suggesting that Tff3 plays a fine-tuned role in homeostasis and protection of the urothelium. This study provides the first data on the precise location and function of Tff3 in the bladder epithelium. <b>(J Histochem Cytochem XX.
