So far, it was generally accepted that newly formed blood vessels are exclusively comprised of endothelial cells, and complemented by pericyte and myocyte recruitment during vessel maturation. Accordingly, participation of non-endothelial cells in the formation of blood vessels has rarely been suggested. Recently, evidence supporting the existence of tumour vessels lined by non-endothelial cells has emerged. Consequently, the concept of the inherent capacity of non-endothelial cells to behave like endothelial cells has been discussed for tumours, and this pathomechanism has been termed vascular mimicry. The corpus luteum is one of the most intensely vascularized tissues, and angiogenesis in the corpus luteum is more effective than in highly malignant tumours. Our results indicate active involvement of granulosa cells in luteal angiogenesis, and the aim of this study was to shed more light on this exciting prospect. The study was based on cultured granulosa cells isolated from the bovine ovary in different stages of follicle maturation. Morphology of angiogenic granulosa cells was studied by phase contrast, transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy. Expression of angiogenesis-regulating factors and their receptors was demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cultured granulosa cells underwent changes reminiscent of endothelial angiogenesis, i.e., migration, proliferation, differentiation and three-dimensional organization, and expressed angiogenesis-regulating factors and their receptors. Our results suggest a tight regulatory and structural association of endothelial and granulosa cells in luteal angiogenesis, suggesting physiological vascular mimicry in the ovary. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to determine, histochemically, the onset and location of production of preduodenal lipase in fetal, suckling, weaned and adult cats. Strong enzymatic activity was localized in the surface mucous cells of the gastric mucosa in animals at postpartal day 1 after ingestion of milk. Activity of gastric lipase persisted as long as animals were nursed. No gastric lipase could be demonstrated in weaned and adult cats. Lingual lipase was not found at any developmental stage examined. Thus, in the newborn cat, lipase of the gastric mucosa is responsible for milk fat lipolysis. 相似文献

The histological affinity pattern of Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) in kidneys from mice (NMRI, Balb/c, CBA) and rats (Wistar) fixed by perfusion with formalin, Bouin, or HgCl2 was investigated with a horseradish peroxidase conjugate. The animals were examined from fetal stage to adulthood. Adult female NMRI mice exhibited constant DBA labelling, with DBA binding to cells of the proximal and collecting tubules. Moreover the vascular endothelium of the renal papilla was found to be DBA-positive in 50% of adult female animals. In contrast, there was only very little DBA binding in the kidneys of male adult NMRI mice. There was no sexual dimorphism in lectin labelling in kidneys from other strains of mice or from rats. 相似文献

Growth, gravidity and lactation put high demands on the performance of the myocardium. The aim of this study, which was performed in 40 female and 20 male bovines ranging from 1 to 4.5 years old, was to determine gross and microscopic morphometric data of bovine myocardium to establish a comparative measure of myocardial growth during juvenile development. During the developmental stage of young adulthood, age‐related increases in female myocardial characteristics included cardiac mass, left and right ventricular mass and the ratio of cardiac mass to loose connective tissue. Age‐related decreases were observed in the number of myocyte nuclei per mm² and the thickness of the right ventricular wall. Sex differences in these parameters were found between 2‐year‐old bulls (N = 20) and 2‐year‐old heifers (N = 10), with males having heavier hearts, thicker ventricular walls, less myocytes in the left ventricle and less connective tissue in both ventricles. Age and sex had no influence on the ratio of capillaries to myocytes, estimated at 0.98 in the adult bovine. Capillary density does not change during juvenile development, but cross‐sectional capillary area does adapt to myocyte cross‐sectional area, accounting for this relatively constant ratio. 相似文献

Teaching morphology, a fundamental part of medicine curricula is traditionally based on lectures and practical trainings. We introduced peer-assisted learning (PAL) and student expert teams to the courses to give the students the possibility to improve their free speech and self-confidence. We involved students in active preparation of online materials such as labelled e-slides and e-pics . We offered online digital microscopy (ZoomifyTM ) and dissection (CyberPrep) allowing repeating the learned material and studying veterinary morphology outside the dissection theatre. Over 60% of first and third semester students profited from being a peer or being taught by a peer and 50% said the expert teams were an excellent method to learn the topographic anatomy. Almost all students applied ZoomifyTM and CyberPrep and 75% of them found the digital microscopy and dissection to be a helpful or very helpful learning tool. In face of reduced contact hours, these forms of education compensated in part the lost teaching time. We observed improvement of rhetoric and presentation skills and self-confidence. The approaches should therefore find their constant place in the veterinary medicine curricula. 相似文献

Most embalming of cadavers for anatomical dissection in veterinary medicine has used 6-10% formaldehyde resulting in discoloured and rigid specimens. This project produced teaching specimens of sheep, horse and calf cadavers having their musculoskeletal and visceral structures with a natural appearance using a fixation solution with lowered concentrations of formaldehyde (2% and 3%) together with ethanol and polyethylene glycols. Fixation parameters (palpable consistency, flexibility, colour, tissue hydration and odour) were assessed qualitatively by twice weekly dissections over two months for sheep and three months for horses and calf. Formaldehyde levels, measured in the breathing zone, were below the maximum allowable concentration in all specimens except for a 300 kg horse cadaver. To evaluate the effectiveness of the fixation solution in microbial inhibition, tissue samples were taken and analyzed for the presence of culturable aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeasts and moulds. Single colonies of Pseudomonas oryzihabitans, Chryseobacterium sp., Acinetobacter sp. were isolated from lungs, and Micrococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. were isolated from one muscle sample. 相似文献

The cardiovascular system is the first functional organ in the embryo, and its blood vessels form a widespread conductive network within the organism. Blood vessels develop de novo, by the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (vasculogenesis) or by angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones. This review presents an overview of the current knowledge on physiological and pathological angiogenesis in the horse including studies on equine endothelial cells. Principal study fields in equine angiogenesis research were identified: equine endothelial progenitor cells; equine endothelial cells and angiogenesis (heterogeneity, markers and assessment); endothelial regulatory molecules in equine angiogenesis; angiogenesis research in equine reproduction (ovary, uterus, placenta and conceptus, testis); angiogenesis research in pathological conditions (tumours, ocular pathologies, equine wound healing, musculoskeletal system and laminitis). The review also includes a table that summarizes in vitro studies on equine endothelial cells, either describing the isolation procedure or using previously isolated endothelial cells. A particular challenge of the review was that results published are fragmentary and sometimes even contradictory, raising more questions than they answer. In conclusion, angiogenesis is a major factor in several diseases frequently occurring in horses, but relatively few studies focus on angiogenesis in the horse. The challenge for the future is therefore to continue exploring new therapeutic angiogenesis strategies for horses to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle. 相似文献

Introduction and Aim: The corpus luteum is one of the most intensely vascularized tissues. Luteal angiogenesis is strictly controlled and blood vessels regress completely within a short period of time. The aim of this study was to investigate vascular dynamics in relation to cellular and molecular mechanisms of luteal angiogenesis and anti-angiogenesis.
Material and Methods: Endothelial cells of blood vessels in paraffin sections of bovine corpora lutea from different stages were examined by labelling with the lectin Bandeiraea simplicifolia agglutinin I. Angiogenesis was studied by morphometry of the capillaries, and immunolocalization of the angiogenic factor VEGF and VEGF-receptor 2. Presence of apoptotic luteal and endothelial cells was investigated using the TUNEL test and transmission electron microscopy.
Results: During development of the corpus luteum (day 3–8 of the oestrous cycle) a dense capillary network (8–12% area ratio) is established and maintained until day 17. Early regression (day 18–24) is characterized by a remarkable decrease of capillaries (1% area ratio). In the regressing corpus luteum the number of apoptotic luteal cells is closely correlated ( r = 0.9) to the number of apoptotic endothelial cells. VEGF is immunolocalized in luteal cells (day 3–17), smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells of arterioles of the regressing corpus luteum. During late luteal regression, a moderate increase of capillaries (2.5% area ratio) is obvious.
Conclusions: The dynamic changes of the capillarity during development and regression of the cyclic corpus luteum correlate with VEGF and VEGF-R2 activities. In contrary to expectations the late stage of luteal regression is accompanied by angiogenesis. One reason for this phenomenon may be an increase in metabolic activity resulting in re-organization of blood vessels already regressed. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 Ovaries are highly complex organs displaying morphological, molecular and functional differences between their cortical zona parenchymatosa and medullary zona vasculosa, and also between the different cyclic luteal stages. Objective of the present study was to validate expression stability of twelve putative reference genes (RGs) in bovine ovaries, considering the intrinsic heterogeneity of bovine ovarian tissue with regard to different luteal stages and intra‐ovarian localizations. The focus was on identifying RGs, which are suitable to normalize RT‐qPCR results of ovaries collected from clinical healthy cattle, irrespective of localization and the hormonal stage. Expression profiles of twelve potential reference genes (GAPDH, ACTB, YWHAZ, HPRT1, SDHA, UBA52, POLR2C, RPS9, ACTG2, H3F3B, RPS18 and RPL19) were analysed. Evaluation of gene expression differences was performed using genorm , normfinder , and bestkeeper software. The most stably expressed genes according to genorm , normfinder and bestkeeper approaches contained the candidates H3F3B, RPS9, YWHAZ, RPS18, POLR2C and UBA52. Of this group, the genes YWHAZ, H3F3B and RPS9 could be recommended as best‐suited RGs for normalization purposes on healthy bovine ovaries irrespective of the luteal stage or intra‐ovarian localization. 相似文献
