Morphological characteristics of telocytes in the pancreas of guinea pigs and effect of imatinib mesylate on the cells
To observe the morphological characteristics of telocytes(TCs) in the pancreas of guinea pigs
and determine the effect of imatinib mesylate on TCs.
Methods
2
Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the immune markers
c-kit
CD117 and vimentin in the TCs from the pancreas of guinea pigs(9 weeks old). Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used to observed the ultrastructure of TCs. Fifty-four guinea pigs of either sex were randomly divided into normal control group
imatinib mesylate treatment groups (7
14
21 and 28 d) and drug withdrawal groups (in 7
14
21 and 28 d after withdraw). After treatment and drug withdrawal
immunohistochemical staining was employed to observe the changes in the TCs
and Western blotting was adopted to detect the expression changes of c-kit
CD117 and vimentin.
Results
2
Immunohistochemical staining showed that pancreatic TCs were located in the connective tissues
and the cells were in triangular
long spindle and other shapes with one or more long and fine cell processes
protruding around the acini and connected into network structures. ETM results displayed that the TCs had slender moniliform processes
higher nucleus/cytoplasm ratio
and mitochondria and smooth endoplasmic reticula in the cytoplasm. Imatinib mesylate treatment induced shorter cell processes and less network structures
but the phenomena were recovered after drug withdrawal. The drug intervention also decreased the protein levels of c-kit/CD117 and vimentin
and the levels were also restored after the withdrawal (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
In the pancreas of guinea pigs
there are spindle-shaped TCs with moniliform processes
and the TCs protrude around the acini and connect into network structures. Imatinib mesylate affects the morphology and protein expression in the TCs.
