Cells were successfully isolated from 22 out of 27 common biceps tendons obtained from cadaveric donors (age range 11-83 years). The fibroblasts could be maintained in culture using standard methods and morphologically resembled those of synovial rather than dermal origin. Growth characteristics of 12 cell lines were assessed by deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) synthesis using [3H]thymidine incorporation in response to stimulation by fetal calf serum. Cells obtained separately from superficial and deep parts of the tendons produced almost identical responses. No significant reduction in growth response with increasing age was found when related to the age of the donor. Therefore this study did not show any age related defect in the short term tendon fibroblast replicative responses to serum. Key words: in vitro, DNA synthesis. copyright.

SUMMARY Twenty human healthy teeth were extracted for orthondontic purposes and processed for histological, and immunohistochemical examination. Odontoblasts were pseudostratified in depth of 1-8 cells in pulpward direction showing the zone of Weil and the cell-rich zone in coronal third pulp. In the central part of pulp tissue, fibroblasts were arranged as a network. These cells strongly immunoreacted with an antibody (monoclonal and polyclonal) directed against the intermediate filament vimentin. The product reaction was specifically located in the cytoplasm. Near vessels occasional lymphocytes and mast cells were also pré¬ sent. Collagen fibers formed a plexus below the cell-rich zone in middle and coronal pulp. KEY WORDS: Pulp - Fibroblast - Man - Histology - Immunohistochemistry. RESUME Vingt dents humaines saines ont été avulsées pour des raisons orthodontiques et traitées pour être exami¬ nées du point de vue histologique et par immunohistochimie. Les odontoblastes étaient pseudostratifiés (1-8 cellules) et dans le tiers coronaire de la pulpe soit la zone de Weil une zone riche en cellules est pré¬ sente. Dans la partie centrale de la pulpe, les fibroblastes forment un réseau. Ces cellules sont fortement immuno-marquées par un anticorps (monoclonal ou polyclonal) dirigé contre la vimentine. Le marquage est spécifiquement localisé dans le cytoplasme. A proximité des vaisseaux, des mastocytes ainsi que des lymphocytes sont présents.

This regulation of gene expression by miRNAs in adipose tissue (AT) can impact on the regulation of metabolism and energy homeostasis, particularly considering the different types of adipocytes which exist in mammals, i.e., white adipocytes (white AT; WAT), brown adipocytes (brown AT; BAT), and inducible brown adipocytes in WAT (beige or brite or brown-in-white adipocytes).

Especially, the bilateral sartorius muscles looked overall like adipose tissue. The man had suffered from diabetes mellitus, renal failure, hypertension and hy- pothyroidism before his death. He was also an alcohol drinker. He had been bedridden late in life. The cause of death was renal failure. In microscopy, the adipose tissue-like sartorius muscle was shown to consist of leptin-positive adipocytes with a small number of degenerated muscle fibers. Fatty replacement, or fatty degeneration, appears to result from endocrine and metabolic disorders, and being bedridden leads to muscle atrophy and damage, although the origin of the adipocytes which emerged in the degenerated muscles is unknown. Introduction tally denerved muscle atrophy (Dulor et al., 19984)). A recent report has demonstrated that, when a muscle There are two distinct types of fat accumulation in is injured, the event which subsequently occurs is either skeletal muscles: intramyocellular fat deposits and extra- myocyte regeneration or fatty degeneration, depending myocellular adipocyte accumulation.

  • Elastic Fiber Production in Cardiovascular Tissue-Equivalents
    Matrix Biology 22 (2003) 339–350 Elastic fiber production in cardiovascular tissue-equivalents Jennifer L. Long, Robert T. Tranquillo* Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science and Department of Biomedical Engineering, 7-114 BSBE, 312 Church St SE, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA Received 10 January 2003; received in revised form 30 April 2003; accepted 30 April 2003 Abstract Elastic fiber incorporation is critical to the success of tissue-engineered arteries and heart valves. Elastic fibers have not yet been observed in tissue-engineered replacements fabricated in vitro with smooth muscle cells. Here, rat smooth muscle cells (SMC) or human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) remodeled collagen or fibrin gels for 4 weeks as the basis for a completely biological cardiovascular tissue replacement. Immunolabeling, alkaline extraction and amino acid analysis identified and quantified elastin. Organized elastic fibers formed when neonatal SMC were cultured in fibrin gel. Fibrillin-1 deposition occurred but elastin was detected in regions without fibrillin-1, indicating that a microfibril template is not required for elastic fiber formation within fibrin. Collagen did not support substantial elastogenesis by SMC. The quantity of crosslinked elastic fibers was enhanced by treatment with TGF-b1 and insulin, concomitant with increased collagen production. These additives overcame ascorbate’s inhibition of elastogenesis in fibrin. The elasticfibers that formed in fibrin treated with TGF- b1 and insulin contained crosslinks, as evidenced by the presence of desmosine and an altered elastin labeling pattern when b-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) was added. These findings indicate that in vitro elastogenesis can be achieved in tissue engineering applications, and they suggest a physiologically relevant model system for the study of three-dimensional elastic structures.

  • On the Reticular Tissue and Lattice=Fibers Occurring in the Milk=Spots of Omentum
    On the Reticular Tissue and Lattice=fibers occurring in the Milk=spots of Omentum. By Dr. Yukio Hamazaki. From the Pathological Department of Okayama Medical College (Director: Prof. Oto Tam ura). 2 Figures (Plate III) and 3 Text Figures. Ranvier and Weide n reic h regarded the omentum as a flattened- out lymph gland and the abdominal cavity as its lymph sinus. The latter, furthermore, theoretically emphasized that the omentum is nothing but a sheet of reticular tissue, the "taches laiteuses" correspond- ing to the secondary nodules. Lately, Kiy ono agreed with the above view, though lie pointed out that the histiocytic cells in the milk-spots do not form reticular tissue, unlike those in the lymph glands. At the Fifteenth Pathological Congress of Japan (1925) I reported that the milk-spots in the rat, cattle, and pig are provided with a certain kind of reticular tissue. The purpose of the present paper is to settle this problem using specific stainings for the reticular fibers and for the lattice-fibers ("Gitterfasern" of v. Kupffer), which may be in an intiniate relation with them. Material and methods. The material was obtained from the cattle, pig , dog, cat, rabbit, guinea-pig, rat, mouse, chicken and human subject. As the control the organs containing reticular tissue, i. e., lymph glands , spleen and thymus gland were also examined. The material fixed with 10% solution of lormalin was studied as stretched specimens and as sections . For reticulum-staining the eosin-methyl blue method modified by the author was used: 1. Sections are stained for 30 minutes in 1% solution of eosin (a few drops of glacial acetic acid is added to 100 cc of the solution) .
