Using a Whole-mount Immunohistochemical Method to Study the Innervation of the Biliary Tract in Suncus murinus.

چکیده
This work describes the whole-mount immunohistochemistry staining method in detail, using neurofilament protein antibody to label the innervation of the biliary tract in Suncus murinus (S. murinus ). First, the specimen was dissected from S. murinus and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Second, an enzymatic treatment and potential endogenous peroxidase inactivation were performed. The specimen was then exposed to the primary antibody, anti-neurofilament protein antibody, for 3-6 days. It was then incubated with the secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. The color reaction was revealed by reacting the specimen with a 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate. This method can be applied to analyze the innervation of all visceral organs. Furthermore, this protocol can also be adapted to test other neuronal antibodies, but optimization of the antibodies should be done first. This method was originally introduced by Kuratani and Tanaka1,2,3.

The lingual gingival and the alveolar mucosa of mandible of the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) were stained by methylene blue vital staining or osmic acid staining, and mounted as whole thickness preparations. The sensory innervation and the distribution of sensory receptors were investigated with a light microscope. The nerve fibers supplying these regions derive from the sublingual nerve, ...
متن کاملA new animal model for local pancreatitis, ventral pancreatic duct ligation in the adult house musk shrew, Suncus murinus
Various animal models for pancreatitis, using large or small animal models, have been established to study pathophysiology, structure, diagnosis, and treatment of pancreatic disorders. Obstruction of the pancreatic duct is considered to play an important role in the progression of acute and chronic pancreatitis in humans. For this reason, many studies using pancreatic duct ligation animals have...
متن کاملComparative Anatomy of Gastrin-releasing Peptide Pathways in the Trigeminal Sensory System of Mouse and the Asian House Musk Shrew Suncus murinus
Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) has recently been identified as an itch-signaling molecule in the primary afferents and spinal cord of rodents. However, little information exists on the expression and localization of GRP in the trigeminal somatosensory system other than in rats. We examined the generality of the trigeminal GRP system in mammals using two distinct species, suncus as a model of s...

Background: It has been reported that several species of Helicobacter colonize the biliary tract of animals and human, but their participation in hepatobiliary diseases are not established. This study is undertaken to determine if Helicobacter genus members, especially with regard to H. pylori, could be detected in the bile and gallbladder diseases. Methods: Thirty-eight gallbladder tissues and...
متن کاملCisplatin-induced emesis in Suncus murinus.
Emetic responses to cisplatin and participation of vagal innervation in emesis were studied in suncus. Intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of cisplatin caused dose-dependent emesis. ED50 values, latencies and frequencies were not significantly different between the two administrations. Cis-diaqodiammineplatinum (DAP), an active metabolite of cisplatin, also induced emesis, but with s...
