SummaryThe cytoskeletons of hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells in bile duct ligated rate livers were investigated by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The three dimensional organization of the intermediate filaments (IFs) of hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells was clearly demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. Cell borders and dilated bile canaliculi were well preserved after perfusion with detergent solution. A very dense filamentous network of IFs was seen throughout the cytoplasm, especially around the dilated bile canaliculi and at the cell borders. IFs in biliary epithelial cells were more numerous compared with hepatocytes. Morphometric analysis showed that the IFs of hepatocytes significantly (p>.001) increased in amount in bile duct ligated rats. The IFs of biliary epithelial cells showed no significant changes in bile duct ligated rats compared to controls. These results suggest that the increase in IFs in hepatocytes results from the adaptation of the hepatocytes to the stress imposed by bile duct ligation. It may be that the resulting intracanalicular pressure and back diffusion of bile induces a metaplastic change in hepatocytes so that they acquire more IFs to function like the bile duct epithelium to conduct bile flow.

SummaryThe immunoelectron microscopic localization of actin in hepatocytes was studied in normal, common bile duct-ligated, and phalloidin treated rats. We used the low temperature embedding procedure with Lowicryl K4M and protein A-gold technique was applied to demonstrate the localization of actin. The tissues embeded in Lowicryl K4M at low temperature provided good preservation of ultrastructure and antigenicity of actin. In control rats bile canaliculi were clearly visualized and most of the gold particles were observed on the bile canalicular microvilli, at the pericanalicular ectoplasm, at the cell border, and on the sinusoidal microvilli. In common bile duct-ligated rats and phalloidin treated rats, pericanalicular ectoplasm was thickened and many gold particles were seen there.

コラゲナーゼ灌流法で肝細胞を単離,培養開始後,経時的にサイトケラチン(CK)とデスモプラキン(DP)の存在様式を蛍光抗体法で観察した.また,detergent処理した非包埋試料を用い,免疫電顕による検討も行った.単離直後,肝細胞は球形で個々ばらばらに存在し,培養12時間後までは毛細胆管の形成,DPの局在はともに明らかでなかった.培養24時間後,肝細胞は隣接する細胞間で広い範囲で接着し,CKの染色では毛細胆管と考えられる管腔を形成していた.この時,細胞間,毛細胆管周囲にはDPの蛍光を明瞭に認めた.免疫電顕による検討で,中間径フィラメント(IF)が肝細胞内に微細なネットワークを形成し,毛細胆管を支持する裏打ち構造も存在し,DPを標識する金粒子が細胞間接合部,毛細胆管周囲のIF上に多数存在していた.今回の研究から肝細胞の極性形成にIFに関連してデスモソームが重要な役割を担っていることが明らかになった.

ヒト正常肝生検組織の凍結切片をTriton X-100, nucleaseで処理し,3種の異なる分子量を持つCKに対する抗CK抗体,(1) MA-902; CK No. 8, (2) RPN. 1160; CK No. 18, (3) CAM5.2; CK No. 8, 18 & 19を用い免疫電顕を施行し,ヒト正常肝細胞におけるIFの異質性について,免疫組織化学的に検討した.この方法により,TEMで肝CSが明瞭に観察でき,細胞境界部および毛細胆管周囲に密な網目構造が存在した.細胞質内には直径約10nmの均一かつ平滑なIFが多数存在していた.免疫電顕の検討で,RPN. 1160では一部のIFにのみ,またMA-902やCAM5.2ではほぼ全てのIFに金粒子が標識され,MA-902とRPN. 1160との二重染色免疫電顕で2種の抗体の両方と反応するIFが観察された.以上の成績から,ヒト正常肝細胞にはCK No. 18を持たないIFも存在し,免疫学的に異なる少なくとも2種類のIFが存在することが示唆され,また単一のIFに2種のCKポリペプチドが存在することが証明された.

走査電顕を用いて急性,慢性エタノール投与および断酒後のラット肝の類洞内皮細胞小孔(SEF)の変化を観察し,正常ラットのSEFと比較検討した.10cmH2Oの灌流圧で門脈より灌流し,SEFの直径,数,有孔度の定量的解析を行った.正常ラットの肝小葉内においてheterogeneityが存在しており,zone 1のSEFの直径はzone 3より有意(p<0.001)に大きく,その数はzone 3の方が有意(p<0.001)に多かった. SEFの有孔度はzone 1よりzone 3の方が有意(p<0.05)に大きかった.慢性エタノール投与によりzone 3でSEFの直径,有孔度は有意(p<0.001, p<0.01)に増大し,数は有意(p<0.001)に減少していた.断酒後,これらのSEFの変化は比較的短期間で正常ラットの状態に復した.今回の成績はアルコール性肝障害の初期病変であるアルコール性脂肪肝の成因にSEFの変化が関与する可能性を示唆するものである.

光顕的に正常肝組織像を呈するヒト肝組織片6個を対象とした.試料採取直後に細切し,凍結割断の後にdetergentで処理する方法と,採取した肝組織片に静注針を刺入しdetergentで潅流する2つの方法を用いた.得られた試料を透過電顕,走査電顕で観察し,肝細胞細胞骨格(H-CS)の二次元的,三次元的存在様式を明らかにした.細胞質全体に亘って中間径フィラメント(IFs)が多数存在し,IFsは接着・吻合を示し,微小管やマイクロフィラメントも観察できた.肝細胞と肝細胞の間で割断された試料では,毛細胆管周囲や細胞境界部が明瞭で,多くのCSが存在し,マイクロフィラメントも多数残存していた.今回の研究成績は,今後ヒトの肝細胞細胞骨格病理の研究に有用であると考えた.
