Cell Structures

Parietal cells of the stomach of the hamster show extensive amounts of dense material in a variety of organelles after prolonged exposure to a solution of osmium tetroxide. Conspicuous amounts of reduced osmium compounds are evident within the granular endoplasmic reticulum, perinuclear cisterna, and vesicular elements of the Golgi complex. Dense material is also apparent within cristae of the mitochondria, the surface coat of the microvilli of the intracellular canaliculus, and vesicular elements of the multivesicular bodies. Multivesicular bodies, containing numerous small osmiophilic elements, are often seen surrounding and/or in close contact with mitochondria. The proximity of the multivesicular bodies to the mitochondria appears to be related to an autophagic process involving degradation of mitochondria. The distribution and intensity of the precipitates within the organelles of the parietal cells vary in different regions of the gastric glands. The findings of this study emphasize that cell structures other than the Golgi complex may contain large concentrations of reduced osmium compounds after prolonged exposure to a solution of osmium tetroxide.

Samples of a surgical liver biopsy from a patient with lactosyl ceramidosis were fixed in paraformaldehyde and postfixed in osmium tetroxide. Hepatocytes (Figs. 1, 2) contained 0.4 to 2.1 μ inclusions (LCI) limited by a single membrane containing lucid matrix and short segments of curved, lamellated and circular membranous material (Fig. 3). Numerous LCI in large connective tissue cells were up to 11 μ in diameter (Fig. 2). Heterogeneous dense bodies (“lysosomes”) were few and irregularly distributed. Rough cisternae were dilated and contained smooth vesicles and surface invaginations. Close contact with mitochondria was rare. Stacks were small and rare. Vesicular rough reticulum and glycogen rosettes were abundant. Smooth vesicular reticulum was moderately abundant. Mitochondria were round with few cristae and rare matrical granules. Golgi complex was seen rarely (Fig. 1). Microbodies with marginal plates were usual. Multivesicular bodies were very rare. Neutral lipid was rare. Nucleoli were small and perichromatin granules were large. Small bile canaliculi had few microvilli (Fig. 1).

After prolonged exposure of mouse epididymal epithelial cells to a solution of osmium tetroxide, reduced osmium compounds were detected in the Golgi cisternae and in the cytoplasm adjacent to the Golgi complex. Their appearance changed in time under certain conditions. Eight days after castration each cisterna of the regularly arranged Golgi lamellae fragmented into small vesicles, in which deposits of reduced osmium compound were in reduced amounts or completely absent, but no notable decrease of the fine reduced osmium particles in the cytoplasm adjacent to the Golgi complex occurred. The amount of deposit in the Golgi cisternae in castrated mice recovered to the normal level after the subcutaneous injection of testosterone for two weeks. On the other hand, the osmium particles observed in the cytoplasm adjacent to the Golgi complex during the recovery process of the lamellar structure increased in amount. This study showed that the reduced osmium compounds were of two kinds, and that the deposits contained in the Golgi cisternae were related to secretory products, and might be controlled by hormonal factors, but the fine reduced osmium particles that appeared in the cytoplasm adjacent to the Golgi complex might be regulated by other factors.

In addition to demonstrating synaptic vesicles, staining with the zinc-iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZIO) method reveals the presence of positively reacting GERL membranes in association with the Golgi complex and lysosomes in the nerve cell bodies within ganglia from the locust Schistocerca gregaria and the gastropod molluscs, Limnaea stagnalis and Helix aspersa. A positive response to ZIO occurs in certain Golgi vesicles and saccules, in GERL (Golgi-endoplasmic-reticulum-lysosomes), in multivesicular bodies as well as residual bodies and in small vesicles and cisternae of axonal smooth endoplasmic reticllum (ER). The interrelationships between these organelles are considered in view of the similarity of the ZIO localization to phosphatase-rich sites in the neuronal perikarya and with respect to the possibility that components of the synaptic vesicles are formed in the Golgi region of the cell and migrate via the axonal smooth ER to the synaptic regions.

Cell Defect

Gastrin-deficient mice have impaired basal and agonist-stimulated gastric acid secretion. To analyze whether an intrinsic parietal cell defect contributed to the reduced acid secretion, we analyzed parietal cell calcium responses and acid secretory function in vitro. Parietal cells were purified by light-scatter cell sorting and calcium responses to gastrin, histamine, and carbachol were measured in gastrin-deficient and wild-type mice cell preparations. Surprisingly, basal and histamine-induced calcium concentrations were higher in the mutant cell preparations. [14C]aminopyrine uptake analysis in acutely isolated gastric glands revealed that basal acid accumulation was enhanced in gastrin-deficient cell preparations as well as on treatment with carbachol or histamine. These results suggested that an intrinsic parietal cell defect was not responsible for the reduced acid secretion in gastrin-deficient mice. Flow cytometric analysis of dispersed, H+-K+-ATPase-immunostained gastric mucosal preparations revealed a marked increase in parietal cell number in gastrin-deficient mice, which may have accounted for the enhanced in vitro acid secretion detected in this study. Parietal cells were found to be significantly smaller in the mutant cell preparations, suggesting that gastrin stimulation modulates parietal cell morphology.

          A histological study showed the wall of the stomach in Pica pica and Herpestes javanicus consists of four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa. Also, the present study showed many  differences in the histological structures of the stomach for each in both types. The stomach of P. pica consists of two portions: the proventiculus and gizzard, while the stomach of H. javanicus consists of three portions: cardiac, fundic and pyloric regions. The mucosa layer formed short gastric folds, named plicae. In the proventiculus of P. pica, sulcus is found between each two plicae, but the folds called gastric pits in the gizzard, which are full with koilin. Lamina properia in both types contained gastric glands (straight simple tubular glands) named superficial glands, as well as another gastric gland found in the submucosa layer of the proventiculus in P. pica only named deep gastric glands. The gastric gland in the stomach of H. javanicus contained: mucous neck cells and parietal cells positive to AB/PAS stains in cardiac portion, as well as chief cells in fundic portion, but pyloric portion had just mucous neck cells. Muscularis externa in both types formed two muscle layers: inner and outer layer.

Introduction: The transmission rates severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from children to adults are unclear due to a lack of controlled conditions.Materials and Methods: We investigated the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 transmission among 12 discordant child-parent pairs in our ward. In each hospital isolation room, caregivers and children lived in close contact during the entire hospitalization period.Results: A total of 136 swab-positive children (mean age, 3.6 ± 4.9 median age, 1; IQR 0–6.2, range 0.1–17) attended by their caregivers were hospitalized. Of those, 12/136 (8.8%, mean age, 6.1 ± 5.3 median age, 4.5) were attended by caregivers who were swab and serology negative at admission despite previous close contact with positive children at home. Three children were completely dependent on their mothers, one of whom was being breastfed. The mean duration of overall exposure to the index case was 20.5 ± 8.2 days.Conclusion: None of the infected children transmitted SARS-CoV-2 infection to their caregivers, raising the hypothesis of a cluster of resistant mothers or of limited transmission from children to adults despite prolonged exposure and close contact. These data might provide reassurance regarding school openings and offer the chance of investigating SARS-CoV-2 variants in the future under the same quasi-experimental conditions.

Nhe Isoforms

Previous studies have shown that gastric glands express at least sodium-hydrogen exchanger (NHE) isoforms 1-4. Our aim was to study NHE-3 localization in rat parietal cells and to investigate the functional activity of an apical membrane NHE-3 isoform in parietal cells of rats. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry showed expression of NHE-3 in rat stomach colocalizing the protein in parietal cells together with the β-subunit of the H+-K+-ATPase. Functional studies in luminally perfused gastric glands demonstrated the presence of an apical NHE isoform sensitive to low concentrations of 5-ethylisopropyl amiloride (EIPA). Intracellular pH measurements in parietal cells conducted in omeprazole-pretreated superfused gastric glands showed an Na+-dependent proton extrusion pathway that was inhibited both by low concentrations of EIPA and by the NHE-3 specific inhibitor S3226. This pathway for proton extrusion had a higher activity in resting glands and was inhibited on stimulation of histamine-induced H+-K+-ATPase proton extrusion. We conclude that the NHE-3 isoform located on the apical membrane of parietal cells offers an additional pathway for proton secretion under resting conditions. Furthermore, the gastric NHE-3 appears to work under resting conditions and inactivates during periods of H+-K+-ATPase activity.

Purified, hormonally responsive parietal cells from rabbit gastric mucosae were used as a model to study intracellular mechanisms controlling parietal cell HCl secretion. Using a high-resolution, two-dimensional electrophoretic technique, we demonstrate that histamine increases phosphorylation of two parietal cell proteins with approximate molecular weights of 27 and 40 kDa and respective pIs of 5.9 and 6.2. The increase in phosphorylation appears to be mediated via an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent mechanism because cAMP analogues and forskolin stimulate phosphorylation of these proteins, whereas the cholinergic agonist, carbachol, which elevates parietal cell intracellular free calcium concentration but not cAMP content, and the calcium ionophore, ionomycin, do not. Both phosphoproteins are located in low-speed particulate fractions. The 40-kDa phosphoprotein was found in both enriched chief and parietal cells. This phosphoprotein may be cytoskeleton associated, since it is detected in a Triton-insoluble particulate fraction after prolonged exposure of parietal cells to Triton X-100. The 27-kDa phosphoprotein was detected in parietal but not in enriched chief cells and appeared to be localized in a low-speed fraction previously shown to contain increased H+-K+-ATPase activity after histamine stimulation. The location and rapid increase in phosphorylation of the 27-kDa phosphoprotein upon histamine stimulation make this protein an attractive candidate for future studies of intracellular regulation of parietal cell HCl secretion. The 40-kDa phosphoprotein may play a more general role in control of cytoskeletal activity, and perhaps, in morphological transformations associated with stimulus-secretion coupling.

Gastric Parietal Cells

The effects of osmotically induced changes in cell volume on cytoplasmic free Ca (Cai) were studied in parietal cells from intact rabbit gastric glands using digital image processing of fura-2 fluorescence. In resting unstimulated cells, Cai was unaffected by either cell swelling or shrinking when osmolarity was varied between 200 and 400 mosM (isotonicity 290 mosM). However, when cells were swelled in a 165 mosM solution (55% tonicity), a biphasic Ca increased was observed. On average, Cai increased transiently from 80 to 218 nM before stabilizing at approximately 140 nM. The peak was due to release from intracellular pools because it was present in Ca-free solutions while the sustained elevation was dependent on external Ca. In carbachol-stimulated cells, Ca influx was most sensitive to cell shrinkage. For example, addition of 25 mM sucrose (108% tonicity) caused a 30% decrease in the sustained carbachol-stimulated Cai increase (plateau). In contrast, carbachol-stimulated cells were relatively insensitive to cell swelling, with a 30% decrease in tonicity causing only a 15% increase in the plateau. However, as in the unstimulated cells, extreme (55% tonicity) swelling caused additional increases in Cai levels. The carbachol-dependent effects of changes in cell volume on Cai could be mimicked by treating cells with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca pumps of intracellular membranes that also has been shown to stimulate Ca entry. Thus, although extreme swelling conditions (55% tonicity) could elicit Cai increases in either the presence or absence of agonist, agonist was required to observe Cai decreases due to cell shrinkage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
