Ao se observar ao microscópio de luz e eletrônico de transmissão as espermatogônias indiferenciadas de lambari (Astyanax altiparanae), espécie de grande valor econômico e comercial, as mesmas se subdividem em Aund* e Aund. A do tipo Aund* apresentou núcleo irregular, excêntrico, cromatina descondensada e nuages próximas ao envoltório nuclear e/ou ainda, associadas às mitocôndrias e, a do tipo Aund, apresentou núcleo esférico, central, com cromatina levemente condensada e nuages. Análise por meio de morfometria demonstrou que o nicho espermatogonial das espermatogônias indiferenciadas do tipo Aund* é próximo ao interstício, enquanto as do tipo Aund, próximas às regiões entre dois túbulos (intertúbulo). Adicionalmente, de acordo com a técnica de incorporação e retenção de BrdU foi possível analisar a existência de possíveis candidatas às espermatogônias-tronco, chamadas de labeling-retaining cells, visto que estas células retiveram BrdU ao longo de todo período avaliado, demonstrando um longo ciclo celular, característica esta de célula-tronco. / Observing by light and transmission electron microscope, undifferentiated spermatogonia of lambari (Astyanax altiparanae), species of great economic and commercial value, they are divided into Aund * and Aund. The type Aund* presents irregular nucleus, eccentric and decondensed chromatin, and nuages near the nuclear envelope and/or associated to mitochondria. The type Aund presents spherical central nucleus, with slightly condensed chromatin and nuages. Morphometric analysis showed that the niche of the type Aund* spermatogonia is near the interstitium, while the type Aund, next to the regions between two tubules (intertubule). Additionally, by the BrdU incorporation and retention technique, we found the possible candidates to spermatogonial stem cells, called \"labeling-retaining cells\", since these cells have retained BrdU over the entire study period (21 days), showing a long cell cycle, a stem cells characteristic.

Os objetivos deste estudo foram descrever a duração do ciclo do epitélio seminífero pela identificação das células germinativas mais avançadas marcadas pela 5-bromodeoxiuridina (BrdU); caracterizar os diversos estádios que constituem o ciclo do epitélio seminífero com base na associação das técnicas de morfologia tubular e desenvolvimento do sistema acrossômico; calcular a produção espermática diária por grama de testículo de jaguatirica (Leopardus pardalis). Para isso, foram utilizados cinco animais machos adultos provenientes do Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres da Universidade Federal de Viçosa e da Fundação Zoobotânica de Belo Horizonte, ambas em Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os animais foram submetidos a biópsias testiculares a fim de se obter material biológico para avaliação histológica e imunohistoquímica. Foram descritos e determinada a frequência relativa de oito estádios do ciclo do epitélio seminífero em jaguatirica com base no método da morfologia tubular associado ao método do sistema acrossômico. Foi observado um estádio do ciclo por secção transversal de túbulo sendo a fase pré meiótica do processo espermatogênico maior que as outras (56,5%). Através do uso de um marcador de proliferação celular injetado intratesticularmente (BrdU) foi observado após 16 dias de aplicação, células marcadas em transição de paquíteno para diplóteno no início do estádio III. A partir daí, pode-se concluir que um ciclo do epitélio seminífero de jaguatirica dura 11,30 dias, assim o processo espermatogênico da jaguatirica dura no total 50,85 dias. A jaguatirica apresentou diâmetro médio de túbulos seminíferos de 211,37μm e 17,81 metros por grama de testículo em média. No epitélio seminífero, em cada secção transversal do túbulo seminífero no estádio I do ciclo, foi observado em média 1,06 espermatogônias do tipo A; 17,78 espermatócitos primários em pré-leptóteno/leptóteno; 19,22 espermatócitos primários em paquíteno; 59,5 espermátides arredondadas e 6,86 células de Sertoli. O rendimento geral da espermatogênese nesta espécie foi de aproximadamente 57 células, e cada célula de viiiSertoli foi capaz de sustentar e manter 14,38 células da linhagem germinativa das quais, 8,76 espermátides arredondadas. A produção espermática diária encontrada demonstra que a jaguatirica é um animal com alto nível de produção, uma vez que sua produção é cerca de 32 milhões de espermatozóides por grama de testículo. / The study of testicular morphology and spermatogenic process in wild animals are fundamental to the knowledge of physiological patterns, thus assisting in establishing protocols for assisted reproduction. The objectives of this paper were to describe the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium by identifying the most advanced germ cells marked by 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU); to characterize the various stages that constitute the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium based on the combination of the techniques of tubular morphology and development of the acrosomal system, calculate the daily sperm production per gram of testis of ocelot (Leopardus pardalis). For this, we used five adult males from Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres at Universidade Federal de Viçosa and from Fundação Zoobotânica de Belo Horizonte, both in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The animals underwent testicular biopsies in order to obtain biological material for histology and immunohistochemistry. We described and determined the relative frequency of eight stages of the seminiferous epithelium cycle on the ocelot based in the tubular morphology method associated with the acrosomal system method. We observed one stage of the cycle by tubule cross-section, being that the pre-meiotic spermatogenic process is longer than the others (56.5%). Through the use of a cell proliferation marker intratesticularly injected (BrdU) we observed after 16 days of application, labeled cells in transition from pachytene to diplotene at the beginning of stage III. From there, we can conclude that a cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of ocelot takes 11.30 days, so the ocelot spermatogenesis process lasts 50.85 days. The ocelot had an average diameter of seminiferous tubules of 211.37 μm and 17.81 meters per gram of testis on average. In the seminiferous epithelium, in each cross-section of seminiferous tubule in stage I of the cycle, we observed on average 1.06 type A spermatogonia, 17.78 primary spermatocytes in pre-leptotene/leptotene, 19.22 primary spermatocytes in pachytene, 59.5 round spermatids and 6.86 Sertoli cells. The overall yield of spermatogenesis in this species was approximately 57 cells, and each Sertoli cell was able to sustain and maintain 14,38 germline cells of which 8.76 were round xspermatids. The daily sperm production found shows that the ocelot is an animal with a high level of production, since production is about than 32 million sperm per gram of testis. / Solicitado sigilo pela orientadora em 30/11/2012

Regeneração hepática em bagre africano (Clarias gariepinus) após hepatectomia parcial. / Hepatic regeneration in african catfish (Clarias gariepinus) after partial hepatectomy.

Nilton Pedro dos Santos 05 September 2003 (has links)
O fígado é um órgão importante para se analisar como o animal reage a agressões químicas. Um dos métodos utlizado para estudar a regeneração hepática é a hepatectomia parcial (HP). Assim, nosso objetivo foi verificar a influência da hepatectomia de 30% e de 70% sobre a taxa de proliferação das células hepática medida pela incorporação de BrdU na região da incisão e no resto do fígado e a proliferação de ductos biliares e de células epiteliais pré-ductulares biliares (CEPDBs) com o uso de uma combinação de 2 anticorpos específicos para citoqueratinas humanas, AE1/AE3. O pico de proliferação nos animais que sofreram HP de 30% do parênquima hepático deu-se após 1 dia da cirurgia enquanto que os animais que sofreram a HP de 70% o pico ocorreu no terceiro dia após a cirurgia.O índice de proliferação foi semelhante para a região próxima ou distante do corte. Para ambas as HP não houve diferença na regeneração do tecido retirado próximo ou distante da área de incisão. Nas regiões distantes da HP havia maior número de ductos havendo o pico do número de ductos coincidindo com o pico de proliferação celular de ambas as HP. Depois da HP o número de CEPDBs cresce consideravelmente. Os pico de proliferação também ocorreram no primeiro e terceiro dia para a HP de 30% e de 70% respectivamente, sendo mais altos na região distante do corte. Assim, durante a regeneração do fígado de C. gariepinus ocorre hiperplasia compensatória por proliferação de hepatócitos, de ductos biliares e de CEPDBs. A hepatectomia de 30% gerou uma resposta regenerativa intensa e é menos traumática para o animal, a região distante do corte reage mais intensamente que a região próxima do corte no que se refere aos ductos biliares e as CEPDBs. / The liver is an important organ in studies aimed to the verification of animals reactions to chemical injuries. The partial hepatectomy (PH) is one of the methods that are usually employed in hepatic regeneration experiments. Our objectives in this work were to verify the influence of 30% and 70% PH on the hepatic cells proliferation index as it is measured by BrdU nuclear uptake in two regions: close to the hepatic surgery region and in a farther region. The biliary ducts and bile preductular epithelial cells (BPDECs) proliferation was quantified with a combination of two antibodies against the human cytokeratins AE1/AE3. The proliferation index peak in 30% hepatectomy animals occurred one day after the surgery, but in 70% hepatectomy animals the peak was only observed after three days from the surgery. Differences between the proliferation index of the close and the far region were not observed and likewise histological differences were absent. In the regions far from the PH site more biliary ducts were counted than in closer regions, but the peaks were coincident in both regions with the hepatocytes proliferation index. It was also observed that the quantity of BPDECs increased. The peaks occurred in the first and third days for the 30% and 70% PH respectively, and both peaks were higher in the region far from the PH site. We may conclude that C. gariepinus liver regeneration after 30% and 70% PH occurs by means of compensatory hyperplasia by hepatocytes, biliary ducts and BPDECs proliferation. The 30% HP stimulated a strong regenerative response and is less traumatic to the animals. The regions far from the PH site reacts more intensely that the close region concerning the stimulation of biliary ducts and BPDECs proliferation.

Dynamics of marine pelagic bacterial communities on the Texas-Louisiana shelf

Anitsakis, Erin Colleen 15 May 2009 (has links)
Microbial community interactions within many ecosystems are still relatively unknown. Investigating links between environmental dynamics and shifting pelagic bacterial community structures on the Texas-Louisiana shelf, Eubacterial community profiles of Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were generated using Automated Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (ARISA) of the 16S rDNA and 23S rDNA intergenic spacer region. This ITS region is highly variable in both length and sequence. Community diversity was assessed by the comparison of ARISA-generated community fingerprints of samples collected from four distinct regions along the Texas-Louisiana shelf in a cross-shelf pattern on 10m, 20m, and 40m isobaths. Incubations of samples with a thymidine analog, 5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), allowed for the isolation and analysis of the actively growing subset within the total bacterial population. Community composition was determined through the construction of clone libraries for sequencing and putative phyla affiliation of community 16 rRNA genes. Hydrographic data were also collected for analysis of shifts in microbial community diversity correlated with a variety of influential environmental factors. ARISA profiles of Eubacterial species richness suggest strong distinction between the two communities found within Zones A and C along the Texas-Louisiana Shelf. Further analysis of salinity gradients originating from the two main fluvial sources, the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya Rivers, identified possible sources of variation between the individual communities. Whereas composition of these communities remains discrete between regions, the active subset of the population becomes more similar across the shelf through the summer. Possibly due to undersampling of hypoxic sites, no relationship could be determined between hypoxia formation and the Eubacterial community dynamics. Several OTUs within the communities were identifiable as α - and β - Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus, and Cytophaga/Flavobacterium/Bacteroides. Through validation studies of 5-Bromodeoxyuridine field sampling, this study indicates the power of BrdU incorporation and ARISA analysis to study a dynamic environmental system and explore the factors that determine the structure of the pelagic community on the Texas-Louisiana Shelf.

Neuronal UV-Initiated Apoptosis is Prevented By 5-Bromo-2’-Deoxyuridine (BrdU) Or A Deficiency in Cockayne Syndrome B Or Xeroderma Pigmentosum A

Rajakulendran, Nishani 15 November 2013 (has links)
This project addressed mechanisms of the neuronal DNA damage response after treatment with the model DNA damaging agent ultraviolet light (UV). The thymidine analogue, 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) protected against UV-initiated neuronal apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.001). BrdU did not protect proliferating mouse embryonic fibroblasts from UV-induced apoptosis. We assessed whether the mechanism of BrdU neuroprotection was through a modification in the neuronal DNA damage response. BrdU neuroprotection was independent of BrdU incorporation into DNA, neuronal DNA repair, p53 activation or cell cycle re-entry, a neuronal DNA damage response. Neurons deficient in Cockayne Syndrome B (CSB) or Xeroderma Pigmentosum A (XPA) were paradoxically resistant to UV-initiated apoptosis. Therefore, CSB and XPA play essential roles in the neuronal DNA damage response.

Comparative Analysis of Cell Proliferation Patterns in Ciliated Planktotrophic Larvae of Marine Invertebrates

Bird, April, Bird, April January 2012 (has links)
Most benthic marine invertebrates have long-lived planktonic ciliated larvae that must feed and grow to reach metamorphosis. Because ciliated cells in animals are unable to divide it is of considerable interest how ciliated larvae are able to grow. To understand how ciliated larvae grow I compared cell proliferation patterns in several species with planktotrophic larvae from five different phyla (Nemertea, Mollusca, Phoronida, Echinodermata, and Annelida). Cell proliferation events were detected using anti-phosphohistone antibody labeling, BrdU assays, and confocal microscopy. Studied larvae included some with monociliated epithelia (pluteus, bipinnaria, actinotroch, and mitraria) and others with multiciliated epithelia (metatrochophore, pilidium, and veliger). Dividing cells were detected in all studied larvae, but the pattern of dividing cells varied among types and correlated with the kind of epithelium (mono- vs. multiciliated) and phylogeny (e.g. protostome vs. deuterostome). Running z-projection movies of the actinotroch, mitraria, veliger and pilidium are included as supplemental files.
