{"title":"Expression of laminin subunits in human fetal skeletal muscle.","authors":"C A Sewry, M Chevallay, F M Tomé","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The laminin variant of adult skeletal muscle fibres and Schwann cells is known as merosin, and is composed of M-B1-B2 chains. Blood vessels and immature fibres express the A chain in association with B1 or S, and B2. The importance of merosin has recently been shown by its absence in one form of congenital muscular dystrophy and in the mutant dy/dy mouse, and by its partial deficiency in Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy. We have examined the immunocytochemical localization of the M, A, B1 and B2 laminin chains in human fetal muscle from 7 to 40 weeks' gestation to ascertain their developmental expression. The B1 and B2 chains were detected on muscle fibres at 7 weeks, but only traces of the A or M chain were seen. By 21 weeks maximal levels of all four subunits were observed on all fibres. This suggests that the basement membrane is still being assembled until this stage of development. Expression of the A chain on muscle fibres was not reduced until 34 weeks and low levels persisted at birth. The concomitant expression of the M and A chains at early stages may indicate a laminin variant, in addition to merosin, that is highly expressed in fetal muscle. Merosin was seen in intramuscular nerves at 11 weeks. B1 and B2 subunits were detected in blood vessels from 7 weeks' gestation and the A chain from 11 weeks. The capillary network, however, is not fully established in fetal muscle. Merosin is therefore detected early during human fetal muscle development, and this should be taken into account when assessing aborted fetuses at risk for congenital muscular dystrophy.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18597807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Changes in the distribution of cells that are expressing collagen mRNAs during growth were determined using digoxigenin-labelled riboprobes. In neonatal rabbit tibiae osteoblasts expressing type I collagen mRNA are found on periosteal, and at early stages on endosteal, bone surfaces and lining peripheral cavities. Occasional osteocytes express type I collagen mRNA very weakly. The pattern is disrupted when transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-beta 2) is injected daily into the periosteum of neonatal animals; there is increased bone, and later cartilage, formation. Three injections of 20 ng TGF-beta 2 onto the tibia of 3-day-old rabbits led to an increase of periosteal osteoblasts that express the mRNA for type I collagen. Some endosteal osteoblasts and osteocytes in newly-formed peripheral woven bone also express the mRNA. After five injections chondrocytes expressing type II collagen mRNA are found around the injection site. Similar injections of TGF-beta 2 in old rabbits induce only fibrous tissue within which some cells express type I collagen mRNA. This precise localization of mRNAs shows that the expression of type I or II collagen mRNA is here restricted to osteoblasts and chondrocytes, respectively.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18597808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 100-fold excess of non-labelled 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 abolished specific nuclear binding of tracer. Nuclear [3H]-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 binding was present in all animals in the retina stratum ganglionare and stratum nuclear externum as well as in the cornea; however, binding was absent in the optic nerve, except in cells of the surrounding arachnoidea. Additional cranial tissues such as chondrocytes in the sclera, parasphenoid, skeletal muscle cells, and epithelial cells of the lacrimal and Harderian glands exhibited nuclear labelling. The results suggest that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 has genomic regulatory actions that involve cell proliferation, differentiation, and functions of certain cells of the eye and associated cranial tissues. The presence of vitamin D receptors in tissues of the eye and skeletal muscle in the reptile is in part different from that observed in mammals. In general, receptors for vitamin D and related target tissues appear to be even more extensive in lizards than has been observed in rodents, which may reflect a more extensive dependency of these tissues on solar environment and active seasonal and circadian regulation.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18597809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cell surface morphology and surface distribution of gold-labelled L-selectin were visualized using backscatter electron images obtained by high-resolution, field emission scanning electron microscopy. The topographical morphologies of lymphocytes of both types were complex. The surface of human lymphocytes was composed of both microvilli and ruffles; that of the murine cells was composed of long microvilli and few, if any, ruffles. L-selectin on human lymphocytes was observed primarily as focal clusters on the apical surfaces of ruffles and microvilli. Similarly, on the transfected murine cells, L-selectin was detected predominantly on the apical surface of microvilli. We conclude that L-selectin has a common spatial distribution and clustered organization on all leukocytes examined to-date, and that these features of receptor expression likely facilitate rolling of circulating leukocytes on the endothelial surface.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18597093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Epulis samples at different stages of fibrotic tissue formation were used as a model system for studying the localization and tissue distribution of FXIII A during the course of connective tissue generation. Marker characteristics of cells containing FXIII A (FXIII A+ cells) were determined as well. In double immunofluorescent labelling systems, FXIII A was localized in monocyte-derived (CD-14+), activated (HLA-DR+), and phagocytosing (Ki-M7+) tissue macrophages, which are widely distributed homogeneously in granulation tissues, but start to accumulate around foci of fibrosis as soon as the foci appear. During the relatively long process of fibrosis, FXIII A+ macrophages continuously decrease in number, and their morphological appearance changes from stellate to spindle-shaped. The nuclei of these cells were not labelled by Ki-67 monoclonal antibody; this indicating that they represent a non-proliferating cell population in the connective tissue stroma. The present findings may help to link theories concerning the role of FXIII A and those of macrophages in the connective tissue formation so far found separately in the literature.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18564209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tissues from four irritation fibromas and three squamous cell carcinomas were studied by means of double immunofluorescent staining techniques in which the detection of FXIII A was combined with a reaction with CD14 (recognizing a monocyte/macrophage differentiation marker antigen), Mac 387 (reacting with a special subset of macrophages), anti-HLA-DR, Ki-M7 (labelling phagocytosing macrophages) or Ki-67 (visualizing a nuclear antigen associated with cell proliferation) monoclonal antibodies. FXIII A was detected in cells of the connective tissue stroma in both benign and malignant buccal lesions. The number of these FXIII A-reactive cells (FXIII A+ cells) increased considerably in the tumour tissues, in particular in those surrounding tumour cell clusters. FXIII A+ cells scattered in the fibromatous tissues were spindle-shaped, whereas in the tumour stroma, large stellate cells predominated, and round cells were likewise labelled around blood vessels. FXIII A+ cells were labelled with CD14 and Ki-M7 in both fibromatous and tumoural buccal mucosa; however, they failed to show any reaction with Ki-67. FXIII A+ cells accumulated in the tumour stroma reacted for HLA-DR as well. These results indicate that in both the benign and malignant buccal lesions FXIII A is contained in a subpopulation of tissue macrophages, which represents a monocyte-derived (CD14+) and phagocytosing (Ki-M7+) cell population.

In this context, it is important to know the arrangement of cell proliferation that gives rise to the final cell populations. In rodents, a number of studies have been performed examining the possible proliferative capacity of endocrine cells, but a wide range of technical problems makes interpretation of these data difficult. Continuous labelling studies suggest there is potential for proliferation in endocrine cells but flash labelling studies have not been conclusive. In man there are no data on this issue. We have taken advantage of the ability to perform double immunostaining for operational markers of proliferation (Ki67 antigen) and endocrine cell phenotype (chromogranin expression). We demonstrate that there are no double-labelled cells in the normal stomach, small intestine or colon of fetal, neonatal or adult humans. Moreover, no double-labelled cells are found in pathological states associated with endocrine cell hyperplasia (gastritis, ulcerative colitis). These data indicate that the normal endocrine cells of the human gut have no proliferative capacity and that, in this cell lineage, population expansion precedes differentiation.","PeriodicalId":22439,"journal":{"name":"The Histochemical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18566015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A second similarly based two-step reaction for the detection of tumour necrosis factor-alpha followed. Both reactions were visualized, on completion, using different coloured peroxidase substrates which produced a third colour in the event of dual deposition of the substrates.

This method has provided a specific and reproducible semi-quantitative test for the presence of tumour necrosis factor-alpha in human activated alveolar macrophages, which can be performed retrospectively on clinical material.
