Dual sensory innervation of pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies.
The characteristics of the different populations of sensory nerve terminals that selectively contact pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) in rat lungs were investigated after chemical denervation with capsaicin and compared with control lungs. Vagal calbindin D28k and P2X(3) purinoceptor immunoreactive (IR) afferent nerve terminals contacting NEBs appeared to have their origin in the nodose ...
متن کاملHydrolases of pulmonary lysosomes and lamellar bodies.
Lamellar bodies and lysosomes from the lungs of rabbits were examined for the presence of 24 hydrolytic enzymes. All hydrolases detectable in lysosomes were also found in lamellar bodies. Hydrolase activities in lamellar bodies were not due to contamination with lysosomes as shown by isopycnic centrifugation of the subcellular organelles on continuous density sucrose gradients. Lysosomal prepar...
متن کاملAre neuroepithelial bodies a part of pulmonary slowly adapting receptors?
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to congratulate Adriaensen and colleagues for their excellent works that contribute to the detailed morphology of neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) (1–3). They form a structural basis for understanding NEB physiology. A very interesting thought proposed by the authors is that NEBs may be mechanosensors. To examine this issue, we injected flourescent dye into the nodose g...
متن کاملPulmonary asbestos bodies and asbestos fibers as indicators of exposure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between pulmonary concentrations of asbestos bodies and asbestos fibers and to characterize asbestos body counts from lung tissue of Finnish patients occupationally exposed and unexposed to asbestos. METHODS Ninety-nine surgically treated lung cancer patients were investigated. The number of asbestos bodies in iron-stained 5-micro...
متن کاملExpression of CFTR and Cl(-) conductances in cells of pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies.
The pulmonary neuroendocrine cell system comprises solitary neuroendocrine cells and clusters of innervated cells or neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs). NEBs figure prominently during the perinatal period when they are postulated to be involved in physiological adaptation to air breathing. Previous studies have documented hyperplasia of NEBs in cystic fibrosis (CF) lungs and increased neuropeptide (...
