Aims and scopes of cytology, histology and embryology 4. Methods for microscopic observations 5. The cell – basic structural and functional unit cellular organization and chemical composition cell membrane cell organelles – membranous and non-membranous Aims and scope of human anatomy Anatomy –

Nutrients are delivered by diffusion 5) Epithelial cells have no free intercellular substance (in contrast to connective tissues) (Control of permeability) 6) The cohesive nature of an epithelium is maintained by cell adhesion molecules and junctional complexes (attachment). 7) Epithelia are anchored to a basal lamina (바닥판). The basal lamina and connective tissues components cooperate to form basement membrane (기저막) 8) Epithelia have structural and functional polarity Epithelial Tissue - Characteristics & Functions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI2hsH-ZHR4

  • Stereocilia Rootlets: Actin-Based Structures That Are Essential for Structural Stability of the Hair Bundle
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Stereocilia Rootlets: Actin-Based Structures That Are Essential for Structural Stability of the Hair Bundle Itallia Pacentine, Paroma Chatterjee and Peter G. Barr-Gillespie * Oregon Hearing Research Center & Vollum Institute, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA; [email protected] (I.P.); [email protected] (P.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-503-494-2936 Received: 12 December 2019; Accepted: 1 January 2020; Published: 3 January 2020 Abstract: Sensory hair cells of the inner ear rely on the hair bundle, a cluster of actin-filled stereocilia, to transduce auditory and vestibular stimuli into electrical impulses. Because they are long and thin projections, stereocilia are most prone to damage at the point where they insert into the hair cell’s soma. Moreover, this is the site of stereocilia pivoting, the mechanical movement that induces transduction, which additionally weakens this area mechanically. To bolster this fragile area, hair cells construct a dense core called the rootlet at the base of each stereocilium, which extends down into the actin meshwork of the cuticular plate and firmly anchors the stereocilium. Rootlets are constructed with tightly packed actin filaments that extend from stereocilia actin filaments which are wrapped with TRIOBP; in addition, many other proteins contribute to the rootlet and its associated structures. Rootlets allow stereocilia to sustain innumerable deflections over their lifetimes and exemplify the unique manner in which sensory hair cells exploit actin and its associated proteins to carry out the function of mechanotransduction. Keywords: rootlet; actin; stereocilia; hair cell 1. Introduction Eukaryotic cells use actin as a basic building block of the cytoskeleton.

The PCL is held to be ‘watery’ and free of mucus by thixotropic-like forces arising from beating cilia. With radii of gyration ~250 nm, however, polymeric mucins should reptate readily into the PCL, so we assessed the glycocalyx for barrier functions. The PCL stained negative for MUC5AC and MUC5B, but it was positive for keratan sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan commonly associated with glycoconjugates. Shotgun proteomics showed keratan sulfate-rich fractions from mucus containing abundant tethered mucins, MUC1, MUC4, and MUC16, but no proteoglycans. Immuno-histology by light and electron microscopy localized MUC1 to microvilli, MUC4 and MUC20 to cilia, and MUC16 to goblet cells.

  • Claudins in the Renal Collecting Duct

Schmidt-Ott 1,2,3,* 1 Department of Nephrology and Intensive Care Medicine, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, 12203 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] 2 Molecular and Translational Kidney Research, Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC), 13125 Berlin, Germany 3 Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), 10178 Berlin, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-(0)30-450614671 Received: 22 October 2019; Accepted: 20 December 2019; Published: 28 December 2019 Abstract: The renal collecting duct fine-tunes urinary composition, and thereby, coordinates key physiological processes, such as volume/blood pressure regulation, electrolyte-free water reabsorption, and acid-base homeostasis. The collecting duct epithelium is comprised of a tight epithelial barrier resulting in a strict separation of intraluminal urine and the interstitium. Tight junctions are key players in enforcing this barrier and in regulating paracellular transport of solutes across the epithelium. The features of tight junctions across different epithelia are strongly determined by their molecular composition. Claudins are particularly important structural components of tight junctions because they confer barrier and transport properties. In the collecting duct, a specific set of claudins (Cldn-3, Cldn-4, Cldn-7, Cldn-8) is expressed, and each of these claudins has been implicated in mediating aspects of the specific properties of its tight junction. The functional disruption of individual claudins or of the overall barrier function results in defects of blood pressure and water homeostasis. In this concise review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the role of the collecting duct epithelial barrier and of claudins in collecting duct function and pathophysiology.
