This study was performed to determine the localization strategies of Toll‐like Receptor 4 (TLR4) in digestive tract (oesophagus, bulbodium, foregut, midgut and hindgut) of Blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) using immunohistochemical staining method. TLR4 positive cells were observed throughout the digestive tract. In the oesophagus, some positive reactions in lamina propria were found around small blood vessels and there were also some positive cells within the stratified squamous epithelium. Lots of positive cells were observed in the muscular layer of the oesophagus. In bulbodium, foregut and hindgut, the expression of TLR4 was mainly restricted to the apical surface of epithelial cells located at the bottom of the mucosal folds and the mesenchymal cells in lamina propria. It was very interesting that epithelial cells in the midgut, but none in other parts, had many TLR4 positive cytoplasmic granular structures which were also periodic acid Schiff positive. These findings suggested that TLR4 was expressed in a compartmentalized manner in the Blunt snout bream (M. amblycephala) digestive tract and provided novel information about the in vivo localization of pattern recognition receptors.  相似文献

The phenotypic identity of mononuclear leukocytes in skin and digestive tract of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV)-infected animals was examined using sensitive single and double labeling immunocytochemical techniques. Occurrence and distribution of B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes of either the helper (BoT4) or suppressor/cytotoxic (BoT8) subsets, and macrophages (M phi) were examined. No differences were found in the skin and digestive tract of persistently infected clinically healthy calves and uninfected controls, despite widespread virus-antigen presence in keratinocytes (stratum basale and stratum spinosum) of skin and upper digestive tract, in dermal/subepithelial macrophages (M phi), in gut-epithelial cells, and in lymphocytes and M phi/monocytes of blood and lymphoid tissues of the former group. M phi and Langerhans cells (LC) were the prevailing leukocyte types in the keratinized epithelia and subepithelial connective tissues, with occasional T lymphocytes (mostly intraepithelially located and of the BoT8 phenotype). No B cells were seen. Some infiltrating leukocytes also contained virus antigen. In animals succumbing to mucosal disease (MD), hyper- and parakeratotic changes, as well as necrotizing epithelial lesions, were accompanied by massive infiltration in dermis and epithelium of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen positive cells (M phi and LC), some T lymphocytes (predominantly BoT8 positive cells), and, only rarely, B cells. M phi also predominated in lamina propria of the gastrointestinal tract. Findings suggest that M phi activation is an important aspect of MD pathogenesis. In contrast, the contention that T lymphocytes may play a major role could not be substantiated.  相似文献

Immunoglobulin (Ig)-containing cells were investigated immunohistochemically in the stomach, intestine and associated lymph nodes of clinically normal calves, cows and fetuses to examine mucosal immune responses in the forestomach to rumen microbial flora. IgG-containing cells were observed in the mucosal propria of the forestomach of a 32 day-old, a 37 day-old, two 90 day-old calves, and of all 5 cases of cows. However, no IgA- and IgM-containing cells were observed. Further, no Ig-containing cells were detected in the associated lymph nodes of all calves and cows. Various numbers of Ig-containing cells, predominantly IgG, were observed in the mucosal propria of the abomasum, small intestine and cecum, and in the mesenteric lymph nodes of aged calves and all cows. No Ig-containing cells were observed in any tissues of fetuses. The results suggest that the development of mucosal immune responses in the forestomach may be incomplete as compared with that of the intestine.  相似文献

To ascertain the virulence of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) genotype II, isolate NY-93 was inoculated intranasally into 3 calves, 2 of which were treated with a synthetic glucocorticoid prior to and after virus inoculation. Anorexia, fever (up to 42 C), dyspnea, and hemorrhagic diarrhea developed 6 days after intranasal inoculation with BVDV NY-93. The condition of all calves deteriorated further until the end of the study on day 14 postinoculation. The most significant postmortem macroscopic changes in all calves were limited to the gastrointestinal tract and consisted of moderate to severe congestion of the mucosa with multifocal hemorrhages. Microscopic lesions found in the gastrointestinal tract were similar to those observed in mucosal disease, including degeneration and necrosis of crypt epithelium and necrosis of lymphoid tissue throughout the ileum, colon, and rectum. The basal stratum of the epithelium of tongue, esophagus, and rumen had scattered individual necrotic cells. Spleen and lymph nodes had lymphocytolysis and severe lymphoid depletion. Severe acute fibrinous bronchopneumonia was present in dexamethasone-treated calves. Abundant viral antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry in the squamous epithelium of tongue, esophagus, and forestomachs. BVDV antigen was prominent in cells of the media of small arteries and endothelial cells. The presence of infectious virus in tissues correlated with an absence of circulating neutralizing antibodies. These findings highlight the potential of BVDV genotype II to cause severe disease in normal and stressed cattle.  相似文献

Pathogenesis of digestive tract lesions in duck plague.   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
White Pekin ducklings were inoculated orally with duck plague virus. Tissues from the digestive tract were collected daily after inoculation and examined by light, electron and fluorescent microscopy. There were necrosis and degeneration of stratified squamous epithelium of the esophagus and cloaca, epithelium of intestinal crypt and esophageal submucosal glands, macrophages in the lamina propria, and submucosal fibrocytes and lymphocytes. Submucosal hemorrhages occurred after degeneration and necrosis of lymphocytes, macrophages, fibrocytes and epithelial cells. Viral antigens were detected in all these cells by use of fluorescein-labeled antibodies. With the electron microscope, nucleocapsids were seen in the nuclei, budding through the inner nuclear membrane; enveloped virions were present in cytoplasmic vacuoles of macrophages, epithelial cells and fibrocytes. In lymphocytes, nucleocapsids were also in the nuclei, but karyorrhexis and cytolysis occurred before viral maturation was completed.  相似文献

The histomorphological aspects as well as the histochemical content and distribution of glycoproteins (GPs) in the mucosa of the digestive tract of the anchovy Engraulis anchoita were studied. The buccopharyngeal cavity is lined by a squamous stratified epithelium with mucous superficial cells; the oesophagus shows two zones, cranial with a squamous stratified epithelium with mucous superficial cells and caudal with a columnar secretory epithelium. Finally, the stomach presents both the cranial and pyloric portion lined with a simple columnar epithelium. Tubular branched glands, formed by a single type of glandular cell, located along the stomach, are more numerous in the cranial portion. The GPs were identified with (1) oxidizable vicinal diols; (2) sialic acids and some of their chain variants, C7 or C9; (3) sialic acid residues with O-acyl substitution at C7 or C8; (4) carboxyl groups and (5) sulphate groups. Histochemical tests showed that the buccopharyngeal cavity presented the largest amount of the different types of mucosubstances. Epithelial secretory cells were found in the oesophagus, which synthesized a large quantity of sialosulphoglycoproteins likely to be related to a protective role. The surface epithelium of the stomach synthesizes and secretes acid and neutral GPs, probably related to the movement of fluids and to the absorption of easily digested substrates, respectively. Although great differences exist between different species, in E. anchoita as in other fish species, the wall of the digestive tract is composed of the four layers classically described for vertebrates. The GPs secreted by the epithelial cells are suggested to be important for the protection and inhibition of microorganisms. In addition, they are involved in enzymatic digestion of food, absorptive functions and lubrication of the alimentary tract.  相似文献

The lower respiratory tract of six 8-day-old calves and six adult cows was fixed in either isotonic formal-acetic-acid or neutral buffered formalin in order to study the morphology, density and distribution of mast cells. They were found at all levels of the tract with the highest density in the major bronchi. Tissues from cows had significantly more mast cells than those from calves. There were significantly more mast cells detected in calf airways fixed with isotonic formal-acetic-acid compared with those seen in the same tissues fixed with neutral buffered formalin. Regardless of the age and fixation, mast cells were located predominantly in the alveolar septa and in the lamina propria of airways. They were also commonly encountered within the mucosal epithelium of the trachea. Ultrastructurally, mast cells in bovine airways and lung contained two types of intracytoplasmic granules as described in other species.  相似文献

When the isolated teat of a cow was examined with an 8.5 MHz linear array transducer in a vertical plane, the teat canal appeared as a thin, white line, bordered on each side by parallel, thick, grey-black bands. In a horizontal plane a comparable image was obtained. In a sheep, images of comparable quality were obtained with a 12 MHz transducer. Histological studies of the tissues whose removal led to the disappearance of this characteristic ultrasonographic appearance showed that it was associated with the stratified keratinised squamous epithelium with distinct papillae. The content of keratin in the stratum corneum was apparently responsible for the bright zone; the stratum lucidum was not visible, and the surrounding dark, less echoic area was associated with the stratum granulosum. Doppler echography in live animals confirmed this designation. The outer layers of the teat wall were more echogenic.  相似文献

Over a 35-week period from January to July 2002, a breed of Hereford beef cattle (H) and their hybrids were monitored. Five hundred and ninety-nine individual fecal samples from calves and 96 samples from their mothers were examined. First excretion of Cryptosporidium andersoni oocysts in calves was found in the 9th week after the start of calving (a calf 63-day old). The prevalence of C. andersoni in calves ranged from 11.1 to 92.9% depending on age. The mean prevalence in their mothers was found to be 43.8%. The size of oocysts was 8.48 +/- 0.78 x 6.41 +/- 0.59 microm. Infection intensity in calves ranged from 32 000 to 4 375 000 oocysts per gram (OPG) and in mothers from 78 000 to 2 552 000 OPG. Three cases of abomasal cryptosporidiosis slaughtered at the age of 81, 157 and 236 days were examined histologically and ultrastructurally [transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)]. Cryptosporidium infection of the abomasum was located in the upper half of the mucosal glands in the plicae spirales of the fundus, corpus and near the ostium omasoabomasicum. Cryptosporidia were not located in the glandular epithelium of the pars pylorica in the abomasum minimally 10 cm from pylorus. Histopathological changes in the site of cryptosporidial infection in the abomasum had a non-inflammatory character and included distinctive dilatation of infected parts of the glands with atrophy and metaplasia of the glandular epithelial cells, goblet cell activation and mucus hyperproduction. The TEM revealed a relatively small number of Cryptosporidium life cycle stages attached to glandular epithelial cells. In SEM the inner mucosal abomasal surface appeared swollen but was never infected by cryptosporidia.  相似文献

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) in the large intestine was characterized in 12 calves (10 to 84 days old) obtained at necropsy (7, group A) or healthy animals (5, group B). Patches of mucosal lymphoid follicles were in all calves at ileocecal entrances (ICE), 23-42 cm distal to the ICE in the proximal loop of the ascending colon (proximal colon [PC] patch), and in the terminal rectum. PC patches varied from 8 to 30 cm in length. Solitary lymphoid follicles were found in the cecum of three calves, between the ileocecal entrances and the PC patch in four calves, adjacent to the PC patch in all calves, and in the ampulla recti. GALT occupied 7.8% of the large intestinal wall in animals of group A: 0.6% at the ileocecal entrance, 4.8% in the proximal colon, and 2.4% in the rectum. There were two different types of mucosal lymphoid follicles in group B: propria nodules with lymphoid follicles predominantly in the lamina propria, and lymphoglandular complexes with lymphoid follicles in the submucosa. In three 3-, 6-, and 7-day-old, germfree calves, distinct follicle-associated epithelium covered propria nodules and covering folds in depths of the lymphoglandular complexes; it was characterized by numerous intraepithelial cells and lack of goblet cells.  相似文献

The objective of the study reported here was to characterise the microscopic appearance of peptic-injured equine gastric squamous epithelium in relation to the duration of peptic injury. Erosions and ulcers were induced in equine gastric squamous epithelium using a feed deprivation protocol that results in prolonged increased gastric acidity. Specimens of normal gastric mucosa and mucosa with lesions created after 48 and 96 h of feed deprivation were compared for characteristics associated with angiogenesis and mucosal proliferation. Fifteen mature horses, 9 geldings and 6 mares, age 3-20 years, were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 5) had normal-appearing gastric squamous mucosal epithelium and had been killed due to problems unrelated to the gastrointestinal tract. Groups 2 (n = 5) and 3 (n = 5) had lesions induced in the gastric squamous epithelium by alternating 24 h periods of feed deprivation and ad libitum access to hay, for totals of 48 and 96 h feed deprivation, respectively. Following lethal injection of barbiturate, stomachs were removed and fixed by filling with 4-6 l 10% buffered formalin. Sections were made from lesions in the gastric squamous epithelium adjacent to the margo plicatus along the right side of the stomach/greater curvature and the lesser curvature. Measurements of total epithelial thickness, keratinised epithelium, nonkeratinised epithelium, epithelial projections, capillary extension into the epithelium and lamina propria thickness were made. The cross-sectional areas of arterial and venous vascular structures in the lamina propria at the lesions and their margins were measured using image analysis software. All horses, except one, in Group 2 developed erosions or ulcers in the gastric squamous epithelium after feed deprivation. There were several changes in the epithelium adjacent to erosions and ulcers, compared to normal epithelium, from horses in Groups 2 and 3: total epithelial thickness was significantly (P<0.05) greater, including both keratinised and nonkeratinised layers in most specimens; the length of epithelial projections and extent to which capillaries from the lamina propria extended toward the luminal surface, and the cross-sectional area of vascular structures (arterioles, capillaries, venules) in the lamina propria were significantly greater. Epithelial thickness of erosion beds was not significantly less than normal epithelium, although a greater proportion of the epithelium in erosions consisted of epithelial projections (Group 1, 23%; Group 2, 76%; Group 3, 72%). The cross-sectional area of vascular structures in the lamina propria beneath erosions was significantly greater than in normal mucosa only in Group 2 tissues, whereas in the lamina propria of ulcers it was significantly greater than in normal mucosa only in Group 3 tissues. The epithelial proliferation and increased vascular cross-sectional area in the lamina propria associated with peptic-induced gastric lesions are consistent with processes associated with the initiation of ulcer healing, and these changes temporally coincided with the initiation of peptic insult to the gastric squamous epithelium. These findings demonstrate that processes that promote ulcer healing begin soon after peptic injury and that they progress even with repeated peptic injury. Furthermore, our findings support observations that gastric ulcers often heal without medical intervention, and the theory that medications that reduce gastric acidity do not initiate healing, but rather facilitate ulcer healing by providing a microenvironment that is optimal for healing to proceed.  相似文献

Thirty Holstein fetuses from 100 to 251 d after conception were utilized to study prenatal anatomical development of the epithelium of the rumen and reticulum. Four calves at birth were included in the study for comparison. Tissue sections were frozen and stained to locate specific enzymes. At 100 d, the epithelial layer of the rumen was differentiated into a thin basal zone and a thickened superficial zone of undifferentiated cells. The basement membrane was straight, and in both zones cells were perpendicular to it. At 120 to 141 d, low, primary undulations were detected in the basal zone, basement membrane and underlying lamina propria. At 150 to 166 d, secondary undulations and incipient papillae began to resemble the papillae of mature mucosa. In rumen papillae of 192-d to 215-d fetuses, shallow furrows began to separate papillae apexes from the mass of epithelium. In fetuses 244 to 251 d, the papillae began to be a separate entity. At birth, the basal position of the papillae still remained fused. An incipient separation between the papillae was seen. Several dehydrogenase enzymes, including those associated with the Krebs cycle and reductase associated with energy transformation, were observed in both ruminal and reticular tissue. Alkaline phosphatase activity was localized in the stratum corneum and in blood vessels. Development of the honeycomb configuration of reticular epithelium was evident in the 100-d fetus and progressed rapidly with age.  相似文献
