This report describes spontaneous cytoplasmic vacuolation in the proximal renal tubules of a 7-week-old male ICR [Crlj:CD1(ICR)] mouse. The contents of vacuoles were positively stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Sudan black, and the membranes were positive on immunohistochemical staining for lysosomal-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2), a marker of lysosomal membrane. Electron microscopy revealed electron-dense lamellar bodies in the proximal tubular epithelial cells. These histopathological features are similar to those in α-galactosidase A-deficient mice, in which globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), a glycosphingolipid, accumulates in lysosomes. When we performed immunohistochemical staining for Gb3, the contents of vacuoles were positively stained. From these results, spontaneous cytoplasmic vacuolation in the proximal renal tubules in the mouse was identified as lysosomal accumulation of Gb3.  相似文献

We previously reported that no Kupffer cells reacted with the antibody against lysozyme, and Ito cells contained a large cytoplasmic vacuole in the feline liver. In this report, we further examined the characteristics of porcine and bovine hepatic non-parenchymal cells. In the liver of both animals, Kupffer cells were positive for lysozyme, and cytoplasmic vacuoles in Ito cells were small. The histopathological characteristics of porcine and bovine hepatic non-parenchymal cells were different from those of the feline liver.  相似文献

Hepatic hyaline globules, similar to those reported in some human livers, were observed in liver tissue from an Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus). The cytoplasmic inclusions were periodic acid-Schiff positive and diastase resistant and failed to stain by acid-fast or Congo red techniques. Ultrastructurally, the hepatic globules were composed of granular amorphous material with small peripheral striations that extended into the cytoplasm.  相似文献

Pasteurella toxin given subcutaneously to rats caused severe liver damage and growth suppression in doses as low as 15.6 ng. Toxin was lethal at and above 31.25 ng. Survival times were dose-dependent, and lesions differed with time of survival after toxin. Rats dead of acute toxicity had focal hepatic necrosis. Liver lesions were associated with diffuse endothelial damage, intravascular trapping of leukocytes, and degeneration of hepatocytes (characterized by glycogen depletion, development of vacuoles, and eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions). Endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, and macrophages had evidence of activation, e.g., increased cellular size with increases in Golgi vesicles, granules, and lysosomes. Rats with chronic toxicity (survival greater than 150 hr) had cirrhosis, intestinal villous atrophy, and markedly reduced body weight and fat. These data show that the rat is highly sensitive to toxins of Pasteurella multocida, and that even low doses of toxin cause liver injury and growth suppression.  相似文献

Rhabdoid tumor is a highly aggressive neoplasm of unknown cellular origin in humans, usually occurring in the kidney and central nervous system of infants or children. In older patients, it occurs rarely in other organs, including the skin and soft tissues. A subcutaneous mass in a 13-year-old male mixed-breed cat was composed of nests or sheets of round to polygonal cells with glassy eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions. Immunohistochemically, many neoplastic cells expressed vimentin, localized to the cytoplasmic inclusions, whereas the cytoplasm of some neoplastic cells was diffusely positive for neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament, or S-100 protein. By electron microscopy, the cytoplasmic inclusions were found to be composed of aggregates of intermediate filaments. These findings are quite similar to the histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of human rhabdoid tumors and the few rhabdoid tumors reported in animals.  相似文献

In the canine liver with portosystemic shunts (PSS), focal lesions consisting of cells with cytoplasmic brown pigments and lipid vacuoles are often observed in the hepatic parenchyma. Termed lipogranulomas, their histopathological characteristics have been little studied. In the present study, we examined liver biopsy samples from 144 dogs (age: 3 months-16 years; 65 PSS and 79 non-PSS cases), and investigated the histopathological characteristics, incidence, and density of lipogranulomas. Lipogranulomas were detected histopathologically in 55.4% of PSS dogs. The lesions were then grouped into 3 types according to the amount of cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles and brown pigments. The pigments were positive for Berlin blue, PAS, and Sudan black B, but negative with the Hall method. The majority of the cells were immunohistochemically positive for macrophage scavenger receptor, class A (MSR-A), while no cells were positive for hepatocyte-antigen and albumin. The cytoplasmic pigments were recognized as electron-dense microgranular materials by electron microscopy. The incidence of lipogranulomas was significantly higher in the PSS group than non-PSS group when dogs less than 1 year old were excluded. The lipogranuloma density in the liver was significantly higher in the PSS group. It is concluded that lipogranulomas are frequently observed in liver biopsies of canine PSS especially in dogs more than 1 year old. The lesions consisted of Kupffer cells and/or macrophages, and the cytoplasmic brown pigments are ceroid and hemosiderin. The pathogenesis of lipogranuloma in PSS needs to be clarified.  相似文献

Cutaneous fowlpox occurring in vaccinated layer hens was investigated pathologically and microbiologically. Anorexia, decrease of egg production, increased mortality, yellow scabs on faces, and alopecia of feathered skins with yellow scabs were observed in affected hens. Histologically, proliferative and necrotic dermatitis with eosinophilic ring-shaped cytoplasmic inclusions (Bollinger bodies) and clumps of gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus hyicus) were noted in the affected birds. Fowlpox lesions were primarily observed in the feathered skins. Proliferation of feather follicle epidermal cells, with cytoplasmic inclusions and degeneration of the feather, and bacterial clumps in the feather follicles were noted in the affected skins. Ultrastructurally, characteristic fowlpox viral particles were observed in the cytoplasmic inclusions of hyperplastic epidermal cells. Amyloid deposition was observed in the Disse space of the liver, splenic sinus, and lamina propria of the bronchiolar, bronchial, and tracheal areas. Amyloidosis could be one factor inducing the fowlpox infection in vaccinated chickens.  相似文献

Inclusions and cellular changes were seen in cytologic specimens from 1 healthy horse, 6 horses hospitalized because of respiratory problems, and 1 horse hospitalized because of colic and hepatitis. Two bronchial aspirates contained detached ciliated cytoplasmic tufts and cytoplasmic inclusions characteristic of the specific degenerative process called ciliocytophthoria. These changes and inclusions resembled those seen in bronchial aspirates from human beings with parainfluenza virus infection. Four bronchial aspirates and 2 serous fluid specimens had nuclear inclusions resembling those seen in a variety of specimens from human beings with herpetic infections. The abnormalities and inclusions were similar to changes seen in cell monolayer and suspension cultures infected with equine herpesvirus type 1.  相似文献

Surface tubules of fowlpox virus were isolated using chemical and physical methods. Suspensions of lipid cytoplasmic inclusion bodies were obtained by treating infected chorioallantoic membranes with 1% trypsin. Inclusions were treated with ultrasonic sound, detergents, and enzymes and were examined by electron microscopy. Although lipase treatment altered the morphology of lipid inclusions, no viral surface tubules were recovered. Treatment with the detergent Nonidet-P40 followed by 2-mercaptoethanol disrupted virions without allowing surface tubules to be recovered. Disruption of lipid inclusions by ultrasonic sound or manual grinding of chorioallantoic membranes produced free virions but only small numbers of tubules. These results indicate that surface tubules can be recovered, but that the lipid nature of cytoplasmic inclusions interferes with procedures commonly used in tubule purification.  相似文献

The brain of a 6-year-old Holstein cow, which showed progressive neurologic symptoms during several months, was examined by histopathologic methods. Many round or oval-shaped cytoplasmic inclusions were observed, mainly in neurons of the temporal lobe and the hippocampus. Those inclusions were faintly eosinophilic with hematoxylin and eosin and positive with Bielschowsky's silver stain. Immunohistochemically, the inclusions were recognized by antiubiquitin and antiphosphorylated tau antibodies. Ultrastructurally, the inclusions were globular and well demarcated from the rest of the cytoplasm, lacked limiting membranes, and were mainly composed of straight fibrils about 15 nm in width. The structure of the inclusions was similar to that of Pick bodies in Pick's disease of humans. The pathogenesis of this bovine condition is not known.  相似文献

Niemann-Pick disease in a poodle dog   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A 5-month-old minature Poodle dog had widespread cytoplasmic vacuolation of neurons in the central nervous system and foamy macrophages in the lung, spleen, renal lymph node, liver, adrenal gland and intestine. Concentric membranous cytoplasmic inclusions were seen in the neurons of the central nervous system by electron microscopy. There was no sphingomyelinase in the brain tissue. Sphingomyelin and cholesterol were increased in brain, kidney and liver. A diagnosis of Niemann-Pick Disease was based on absence of sphingomyelinase activity, as well as on histologic, histochemical and chemical findings.  相似文献

Morphologic and histochemical characteristics were noted for three spontaneous tumors with eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules that occurred in aged Fischer 344 rats. Macroscopic lesions were widely distributed in the body, mainly involving the intra-abdominal adipose tissue, pancreas, and mesenterium. These lesions were generally hard swellings with nodular and sclerosing areas. Bloody ascites was a concomitant finding. Histologically, the tumor cells were round, from 9 to 30 microm in diameter with one or two round to oval nuclei, and characterized by eosinophilic granules (0.5-2.0 microm) that stained definitely to weakly positive with the periodic acid-Schiff reaction and demonstrated no metachromasia with toluidine blue stain. Furthermore, the granules were characterized by a positive reaction with lectin histochemistry for concanavalin A (Con A), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), phaseolus vulgaris agglutinin (PHA-E4), lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), and recinus communis agglutinin (RCA-I) in all tumors and for ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA-I), peanut agglutinin (PNA), and soybean agglutinin (SBA) in one tumor. Positive reactions for anti-rat mast cell protease II and CD8 were not demonstrated immunohistochemically. Abundant glycogen was noted in the large tumor cells from one rat. With electron microscopy, the cytoplasmic granules were identified as electron-dense homogenous bodies bounded by a single unit membrane. These characteristics are similar to those of granulated metrial gland cells, but further study is needed to clarify the cell of origin for these tumors.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic inclusions in canine hepatocytes were scattered abundantly throughout hepatic lobules. They were mainly round, measured 3 microns to 20 microns in diameter, stained eosinophilic with hematoxylin and eosin stain, and were positive for diastase-resistant periodic acid-Schiff and phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin stains. Immunoperoxidase staining revealed that most of the inclusions were positive for such blood plasma components as albumin, immunoglobulins G, M, A, and transferrin. Ultrastructurally, the inclusions were granular, floccular, fibrillar, or homogeneous with a low or high electron density. Fibrin fibers and erythrocytes were occasionally recognized in the inclusions. These inclusions were considered to have derived from engulfment of blood elements into hepatocytes, probably as a result of increase of the intrasinusoidal blood pressure.  相似文献

A 7‐year‐old male castrated Jack Russell Terrier was presented to the oncology service at the University of California–Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for evaluation of suspected lymphoma. The dog had several enlarged lymph nodes and moderate lymphocytosis. Aspirates of an enlarged inguinal lymph node contained a bimorphic population of large immature lymphocytes and smaller cells with plasmacytoid features. Both cell types often contained a single large cytoplasmic inclusion that varied from clear to pale pink to sky blue. Cytologic changes were interpreted as most consistent with lymphoid neoplasia. Based on the predominantly mature cell morphology and some morphologic heterogeneity, the peripheral lymphocytosis was interpreted as most likely reactive in nature. However, the immunophenotype of the cells (CD20+, CD21+, CD79a+, MUM‐1+, and MHCII+) and clonality assays showed that tissue and blood lymphocytes were neoplastic B cells with clonal identity despite their different morphologic appearances. The cytoplasmic inclusions were positive with periodic acid‐Schiff and were immunoreactive for IgM and IgG. By transmission electron microscopy, inclusions consisted of aberrant rough endoplasmic reticulum; a few small Russell bodies were also noted. A final diagnosis of high‐grade B‐cell lymphoma with plasmacytoid differentiation, atypical cytoplasmic inclusions, and secondary leukemia was made. Chemotherapy was initiated, but the dog was euthanized due to severe and uncontrolled seizures 9 months after the initial diagnosis. This case extends the morphologic repertoire of canine plasmacytoid neoplasms and emphasizes their continuum with multicentric lymphoma. This case also demonstrates the need for advanced diagnostic techniques in establishing blood involvement in lymphoma in some instances.  相似文献

Bovine herpesvirus 5 antigens were detected by indirect immunofluorescence in the cytoplasm of tumor cells derived from bovine ocular squamous cell carcinomas. The number of tumor cells expressing bovine herpesvirus 5 antigens was increased following exposure to ultraviolet light or maintenance in pH 8.4 media. Infectious virus could not be detected in homogenates of tumors or by explantation of tumors. However, medium removed from the ocular tumor explants induced cytoplasmic vacuolization, inclusions and syncytia when inoculated onto bovine fetal spleen monolayers. Acridine orange staining revealed these cytoplasmic inclusions to contain double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid. These results provide evidence that bovine herpesvirus 5 may be associated with bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma.  相似文献

Abstract: Two young adult dogs with gastrointestinal signs were each found to have an intra‐abdominal mass based on physical examination and diagnostic imaging. On exploratory laparotomy, small intestinal masses and mesenteric lymphadenopathy were found in both dogs; a liver mass was also found in dog 1. Cytologic and histologic examination of intestinal and liver masses and mesenteric lymph nodes revealed 2 distinct lymphoid cell populations: lymphoblasts and atypical Mott cells. With Romanowsky stains, the atypical Mott cells contained many discrete, clear to pale blue cytoplasmic inclusions consistent with Russell bodies that were positive by immunohistochemistry for IgM and CD79a in both dogs and for IgG in dog 2. The Mott cells and occasional lymphoblasts stained strongly positive with periodic acid‐Schiff. Using flow cytometric immunophenotyping in dog 1, 60% of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and 85% of cells in an affected lymph node were positive for CD21, CD79a, IgM, and MCH II, indicative of B‐cells. With electron microscopy, disorganized and dilated endoplasmic reticulum was seen in Mott cells in tumors from both dogs. Antigen receptor gene rearrangement analysis of lymph node and intestinal masses indicated a clonal B‐cell population. Based on cell morphology, tissue involvement, and evidence for clonal B‐cell proliferation, we diagnosed neoplasms involving Mott cells. To the authors' knowledge, this is the second report of Mott cell tumors or, more appropriately, B‐cell lymphoma with Mott cell differentiation, in dogs. More complete characterization of this neoplasm requires further investigation of additional cases. This lymphoproliferative disease should be considered as a differential diagnosis for canine gastrointestinal tumors.  相似文献

A 5-day-old Japanese black calf was necropsied and intracytoplasmic vacuolations were histologically observed in many tissues. In the central nervous system, intracytoplasmic inclusions and vacuoles were found in neuronal cells. Intracytoplasmic inclusions were more conspicuous in the nuclei containing large nerve cells, especially in the brain stem and spinal cord. These inclusions were stained weak positive to positive with alcian blue, Giemsa, Luxol fast blue and periodic acid-Schiff stains but not with oil red O. Ultrastructurally, neuronal inclusions were observed in lysosomes and consisted of an amorphous electron-dense substance and occasional membranous structures. These findings seem to differ from the cases of bovine lysosomal diseases that have been reported, and this case may be another type of lysosomal storage disease.  相似文献

Rat liver sections and a human epithelial cell line (HEp-2) were compared as substrates for the detection of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in the serum of normal dogs and dogs with suspected autoimmune disease, using a standard indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) technique. Antibody reactivity against rat hepatocyte nuclei was frequently found at low serum dilutions in normal dog sera. Using rat liver sections, a minimum significant positive titer, allowing negativity in more than 95% of normal dog sera, was found to be 1/100. With this titer, ANA positivity could be verified in 64 of 112 (57%) reanalysed serum samples from dogs with suspected autoimmune disease, earlier determined as ANA-positive. No reactivity against nuclei of HEp-2 cells was observed in any of the normal dog sera analyzed at a screening dilution of 1/25. Using this dilution as a minimum significant positive titer, 63 of the 112 (56%) re-evaluated serum samples were positive. These 63 samples were from the same dogs as the 64 samples that were positive on rat liver sections. Thus, the 2 methods of ANA-IIF detected a nearly identical population of dogs with suspected autoimmune disease once the level of significance of a positive titer was adjusted to 195% specificity for each method. HEp-2 cells were found to be superior to rat liver cryostate sections as ANA substrate because of their low reactivity with normal sera, and the ease of discernment of the ANA fluorescence pattern. The recognition and documentation of specific pattern types may give clues to ANA subspecificities, which could prove useful if they are found to correlate with well-defined subgroups of immune mediated clinical diseases in dogs.
