We investigated the cellular distribution of annexin V (CaBP33) in rat tissues by immunohistochemistry. Several cell types were shown to express the protein. Glial cells in the cerebellum and in the optic nerve, the corneal epithelium, the posterior epithelium in the iris, chondrocytes, skeletal muscle cells and cardiomyocytes, the capillary endothelial cells in many organs, the muscularis mucosae and the muscular layer in the intestinal tract, hepatocytes, Muller cells in the retina, the lens fibers, Sertoli and Leydig cells in the testis, and smooth muscle cells in the epididymis and bronchi displayed intense immunostaining. In the adrenal gland, only the cortex showed immunoreaction product. In the kidney, no apparent staining of renal cells was observed, whereas endothelial cells of peritubular capillaries were stained. In the heart, annexin V was found associated exclusively with the sarcolemma and intercalated discs, as opposed to the diffuse distribution of the protein in skeletal muscle cells. In the spleen, only reticular elements in the white pulp and endothelial cells in the red pulp appeared to be immunostained. The present data complement the biochemical work thus far done on annexin V and suggest that the protein is neither restricted to secretory cells nor exclusively related to exocytotic events in secretory cells.
