RESUMO

The peritrophic matrix of blood-feeding insects is a chitinous structure that forms a protective barrier against oral pathogens and abrasive particles1. Tsetse flies transmit Trypanosoma brucei, which is the parasite that causes human sleeping sickness and is also partially responsible for animal trypanosomiasis in Sub-Saharan Africa. For this parasite to establish an infection in flies, it must first colonize the area between the peritrophic matrix and gut epithelium called the ectoperitrophic space. Although unproven, it is generally accepted that trypanosomes reach the ectoperitrophic space by penetrating the peritrophic matrix in the anterior midgut2-4. Here, we revisited this event using fluorescence- and electron-microscopy methodologies. We show that trypanosomes penetrate the ectoperitrophic space in which the newly made peritrophic matrix is synthesized by the proventriculus. Our model describes how these proventriculus-colonizing parasites can either migrate to the ectoperitrophic space or become trapped within peritrophic matrix layers to form cyst-like bodies that are passively pushed along the gut as the matrix gets remodelled. Furthermore, early proventricular colonization seems to be promoted by factors in trypanosome-infected blood that cause higher salivary gland infections and potentially increase parasite transmission.

RESUMO

This study was carried out on 40 chick embryos collected from incubated eggs of Dandarawi chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) on the 5th to 19th incubation day (27 to 45 Hamburger and Hamilton, H&H stages). In addition, 15 chicks were collected on the day of hatching (stage 46 H&H), one week and two weeks post-hatching to demonstrate the histological, histochemical, and electron microscopic developmental changes of the proventriculus (of the digestive tract). Histologically, the proventriculus was observed as a narrow tube at 27 H&H stage. It was lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium through 27-39 H&H stages and from the stage 43 till post-hatching, it was lined by simple columnar epithelium. The Lamina muscularis mucosa could be identified at stage 43. The proventricular glands were detected firstly at stage 31 and branching at stage 35. Histochemically, the surface epithelium and proventricular glands reacted positively to PAS, alcian blue and bromophenol blue from stage 31 till maturity. The glands displayed an apocrine mode of secretion at stage 39 and their cytoplasm contained abundant mitochondria, RER, secretory granules, and lipid droplets. Enteroendocrine cells could be observed among the glandular and surface epithelium at stage 45 H&H. The interstitial tissue contained fibroblasts and telocytes. The telocytes were firstly detected at stage 35 H&H and composed of a cell body and two long cell processes called telopodes. The tunica muscularis differentiated into three layers of smooth muscle fibers at stage 37 H&H. The cellular and stromal organizations of the proventriculus and their relations to the development and function were discussed.

RESUMO

To investigate microstructure of proventriculus and ultrastructure of the gastric gland cells from Chinese Taihe black-bone silky fowl (BSF), the proventriculus of 4-week-old BSF was sampled. Conventional histological and transmission electron microscope (TEM) methods were used in this study. The wall of the Taihe BSF proventriculus was consisted of four layers, the mucous, submucosa, muscularis externa and the serosa as others birds. The muscularis externa of the birds' proventriculus contained three layers. Much of the melanin was present in loose connective tissue of lamina propria, submucosa, and muscularis externa unlike others. In addition, the ultrastructure of the gastric gland cells was observed by TEM. There was only one kind of gland cell, for example oxynticopeptic cell in proventriculus of Taihe BSF. The oxynticopeptic cells contained numerous mitochondria, cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (CRER), intracellular canaliculi (IC) that secrete hydrochloric acid and small amounts of pepsinogen granules. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) was irregular cisternae with ribosomes and surrounded tightly the mitochondria along their configuration. The electron-dense pepsinogen granules were round with various sizes. The neighbouring oxynticopeptic cells were closed up with tight junction and gap junction. The inter-space between the neighbouring oxynticopeptic cells was stenosis or was filled with electron-dense extracellular substance. In conclusion, the gastric gland cells of Chinese Taihe BSF proventriculus were only oxynticopeptic cells that secrete hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, but no parietal cells and chief cells of mammal. The gastric gland cells of proventriculus were underdeveloped compared with those of mammals.

RESUMO

The use of optic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy propitiated the comparative examination of the structure of the proventriculus bulb of Cephalotes atratus, Cephalotes clypeatus and Cephalotes pusillus. This portion of the digestive tract possesses highly sclerotized projections which act in the selection of victuals. This structure is of importance to phylogeny studies and thus was compared with others known species of ants in a dendrogram adapted from Eisner (1957). We did not detect differences among the three studied species in the nature of histochemistry and ultra morphology.

RESUMO

Histomorphology of the proventriculi of nectarivorous, granivorous and omnivorous passerines was studied. The proventriculus consisted of mucosal, submucosal, muscularis and serosal layers. Proventricular wall was thickest in omnivore, thinnest in granivore and intermediate in nectarivore. The openings of mucosal glands had a single spiral-like fold of mucosa in the omnivorous Silvereye, 2-3 spirals in the granivorous Zebra finch and 4-5 spirals in the nectarivorous Brown honeyeater. The mucosal glands were arranged in a uniform row in the wall of the organ and opened individually via a primary duct to the lumen of the proventriculus. The surface epithelial cells of the tunica mucosa contained secretory cells and the proventricular glands contained endocrine, neck and oxynticopeptic cells. The ultrastructural features of the oxynticopeptic cells changed from the oral to the aboral portion of the gland. In the oral region, the cytoplasm presented numerous, smaller (600-900 nm) homogenously dense zymogen secretory vesicles and larger (0.8-2.3 microm) pale floccular, tubular, mucin-like secretory granules, few small mitochondria and RER while in the aboral portion of the gland, the cytoplasm presented numerous, large mitochondria with closely packed cristae, secondary lysosome and infolding of the basal and apical cell membrane. The tunica sub mucosa was thin with occasional large blood vessels. The tunica muscularis consisted of inner longitudinal, middle circular and outer longitudinal layers. The external tunica serosa contained large bundles of myelinated and unmyelinated axons that were possibly branches of the intestinal nerve. The structural adaptations of the proventriculi of these three species to their various diets are discussed.

RESUMO

Herein we report a description of gross and microscopic lesions found in specific pathogen-free chicken embryos caused by UNAM-97 infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) variant strain after the eighth passage. Embryos were divided into three groups and were inoculated in the chorioallantoic sac with 0.2 mL of UNAM-97, Mass 41 IBV (positive control), or sterile PBS (negative control). Forty-eight hours later the allatoic fluid was taken and used to start a cycle of eight passages through 9-d-old embryos. Seven days after the last passage, embryos were harvested and macroscopic lesions in all organs were recorded. Proventriculus and gizzard samples were obtained from all embryos and routinely processed for microscopic and ultrastructural examinations. The UNAM-97 IBV variant strain caused two macroscopic lesions uncommon for Mexican strains: thin-walled proventriculus and gizzard, as well as urate accumulation within an extra-embryonic peritoneal sac, leaving the body through the umbilical duct and accompanied by the yolk sac. At microscopic level, two relevant findings were observed to be produced by this variant. In the proventriculus, there was a decrease in the gland papillary branching, while the gizzard showed a significant reduction in mucosa thickness and tubular-to-proliferative-cell ratio, as well as an absence of hyaline secretion in the lumen. Electrodense material scattered in proventricular and gizzard cells was observed, with a structure consistent with that of coronaviruses. These pathological chicken embryo findings have not been reported as being caused by other IBV strains in Mexico.

RESUMO

The colocalization of regulatory peptide immunoreactivities in endocrine cells of the chicken proventriculus at hatching has been investigated using the avidin-biotin technique in serial sections and double immunofluorescence in the same section for light microscopy, and double immunogold staining for electron microscopy. In addition to the eight immunoreactivities previously described in this organ, cells immunoreactive for peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), peptide gene product 9.5 (PGP), and the amidating enzyme, peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) were observed. All the cells immunoreactive to glucagon were also immunostained by the PHI antiserum. In addition, all the glucagon-like peptide 1, avian pancreatic polypeptide, and some of the neurotensin-like cells costored also glucagon- and PHI-immunoreactive substances. PGP- and PAM-immunoreactivities were also found in the glucagon-positive cells. A small proportion of the somatostatin-containing cells were positive for PHI but not for other regulatory peptides. These results could suggest either the existence of a very complex regulatory system or that the endocrine system of the newborn chickens is not yet fully developed.

RESUMO

Cytochemical techniques were used for the qualitative characterization of carbohydrates in the foregut, midgut, hindgut and Malpighian tubules of Drosophila auraria larvae. Periodate-reactive (neutral) polysaccharides were present in the foregut cuticle, peritrophic membrane, cells of the proventriculus which produce the peritrophic membrane, as well as the glycocalyx of the midgut and Malpighian tubule cells. Sulphated and carboxylated complex carbohydrates were detected in the cuticle of both foregut and hindgut, as well as the 'vacuoles with granules' in the Malpighian tubules. Periodate-reactive sulphated and carboxylated polysaccharides were detected in dense bodies appearing in all cells 10-20 h before pupation of larvae. The significance of the presence or absence of complex carbohydrates in D. auraria larval digestive system is discussed and compared with results found in the digestive system of other insects. In addition, the efficiency of the HID-TCH-SP and LID-TCH-SP techniques in staining lysosomes is discussed.

RESUMO

The endocrine cells of the chicken proventriculus were investigated immunocytochemically, using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique on paraffin and semithin sections for light microscopy, and immunogold staining in osmium-fixed material for electron microscopy. The fixation procedure also allowed a detailed ultrastructural investigation. Twenty-three antisera were tested and 7 immunoreactive cell-types were identified: D-cells containing somatostatin-like peptide; EG-cells immunoreactive to anti-glucagon, anti-GLP1 and anti-neurotensin; NT-cells labelled only with anti-neurotensin; BN-cells containing bombesin-like material; ENK-cells showing met-enkephalin immunoreactivity; EC-cells reactive to anti-serotonin; and APP-cells positive to anti-avian pancreatic polypeptide. In addition, enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, were also detected by electron microscopy. The presence of ENK-cells and the ultrastructure of these and NT-cells are described for the first time in chicken proventriculus, and glucagon. GLP1 and neurotensin are shown to be colocalized in the EG-cells.

RESUMO

An Australian diamond firetail finch died following the acute onset and development of severe diarrhea. The bird was purchased from a wholesaler and was housed in a pet store aviary with 12 other birds. Necropsy, histologic evaluation, and electron microscopic evaluation revealed organisms in the proventriculus (surface, ductal, and glandular epithelium) compatible in site of development, size, and morphology with Cryptosporidium spp. Lesions in the proventriculus were focal cuboidal metaplasia of glandular epithelial cells and deposition of amyloid in the perivascular interstitial tissues at the base of the glands. Amyloid also was present in the duodenum, liver, spleen, pancreas, and kidney. Inability to recover other organisms suggested that Cryptosporidium was the primary cause of diarrhea and death. The affected bird likely suffered dehydration as a result of acute gastrointestinal disturbance, concomitant with renal amyloidosis and urate nephrosis.

RESUMO

The endocrine cells of the chicken proventriculus were investigated by selective staining techniques, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The following endocrine cell types were identified: 1) Argyrophilic ECL-cells, of unknown function, were very numerous in the 21-day-old chick, but less numerous in the newborn chick; 2) somatostatin-producing D-cells; 3) GLI-cells producing glucagon-related peptides; 4) X-cells of unknown function; 5) BN-cells producing bombesin; and 6) relatively few 5-hydroxytryptamine-producing EC-cells. Each of these cell types show a distinct morphology, distribution and histochemical reactivity. With the exception of BN-cells, they resemble rather closely the corresponding endocrine cell types previously described in the oxyntic mucosa (EGL, D, X and EC cells) or in the intestinal mucosa (L-cells) of the mammalian gut.

RESUMO

The histochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase by Hansson's cobalt-salt method was compared with immunocytochemical localization in the proventriculus (glandular stomach), the chorioallantoic membrane, and in articular and growth-plate cartilages from the domestic hen. Numerous differences were observed. Staining was positive by Hansson's method and negative by immunocytochemistry for the submucosal glands of the proventriculus, articular cartilage cells, resting and proliferating cells of the growth plate, nuclei, and intercellular spaces. Red blood cells stained faintly and inconsistently by Hansson's method. Both methods were in agreement for the cytoplasm of the surface mucosal cells of the proventriculus, the cytoplasm of the villus cavity cells in the chorioallantoic membrane, and in hypertrophic cells of growth-plate cartilage. Acetazolamide usually inhibited the histochemical reaction, even in those sites that, according to other methods, did not contain enzyme. Consequently, acetazolamide inhibition appears to be an unreliable control for the histochemical reaction.

RESUMO

An argyrophil endocrine cell type with typical intraepithelial development is seen initially on the 8th day of incubation in the epithelium of the main lumen of the chicken-proventriculus. During the embryonic period, rapid development of these cells can be observed with a quantitative maximum on the 13th day of incubation. At this time increased digestive efficiency is necessary for the chicken embryo with the start of gastric secretion combined with the first swallowing of albumen. There is a subsequent decrease in the number of endocrine cells in the main lumen epithelium, their function in hatched or adult specimens is largely taken over by cells which appear in the epithelium of the glands of the proventriculus on the 16th and later days of incubation. On the 2nd day after hatching the adult distribution pattern of endocrine cells in the proventriculus is attained.
