چکیده

The distribution of Na/K-ATPase in rat exorbital lacrimal gland was studied using immunofluorescent localization of an antibody raised against rat kidney Na/K-ATPase. In cryostat sections, intralobular ducts were strongly immunoreactive and acinar cells showed localization on both apical and basal-lateral surfaces. Acinar cells also had strong intracellular reactivity in apical regions. These results are discussed in light of current models of exocrine gland electrolyte secretion.

Secreragogue-lnduced Redistributions of Na,K-ATPase in Rot Lacrimal Acini

Lacrimal acinar cells secrete macromolecular products in an approximately isotonic, sodium chloride (NaCl)-rich fluid. The mechanisms of macromolecular product secretion depend in part on a recycling traffic of membrane constituents between the Golgi complex and the apical plasma membrane. In contrast, the acinar cell's mechanisms for secreting Na and C\~ depend largely on the fluxes of these i...

Ultrastructural localization of Na+, K(+)-ATPase in the exorbital lacrimal gland of rat.

Ultrastructural localization of Na+, K(+)-ATPase in the exorbital lacrimal gland of rat was investigated quantitatively by protein A-gold technique. Na+, K(+)-ATPase was purified from the rat kidney, and anti-holo Na+, K(+)-ATPase antibody was obtained from the rabbit by injecting the purified enzyme. A specific antibody against the alpha-subunit of Na+, K(+)-ATPase was affinity purified. Immun...

Transepithelial bioelectrical properties of rabbit acinar cell monolayers on polyester membrane scaffolds.

In our quest to develop a tissue-engineered tear secretory system, we have tried to demonstrate active transepithelial ion fluxes across rabbit lacrimal acinar cell monolayers on polyester membrane scaffolds to evaluate the bioelectrical properties of the cultured cells. Purified lacrimal gland acinar cells were seeded onto polyester membrane inserts and cultured to confluency. Morphological pr...

Na+/H+ antiporter in lacrimal acinar cell basal-lateral membranes.

The first step in the formation of lacrimal gland fluid is believed to depend on transport systems which couple a flux of Cl- ions to the passive influx of Na+ ions across the acinar cell basal-lateral plasma membrane. The transport systems which mediate these fluxes have not yet been characterized, but a review of previous studies (Parod and Putney, Am J Physiol 239:G106, 1980) raises the poss...

Gene expression in rat lacrimal gland duct cells collected using laser capture microdissection: evidence for K+ secretion by duct cells.

PURPOSE To compare gene expression profiles of lacrimal gland duct and acinar cells after laser capture microdissection (LCM) and identify molecular networks related to K+ secretion, testing the hypothesis that duct cells are responsible for high K+ levels in tears. METHODS Frozen sections of lacrimal glands from five rats were subjected to LCM to isolate pure samples of duct and acinar cells...
