Lectin cytochemistry in the gastrointestinal tract with special reference to glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus of Brunner's gland cells
E Suzaki and K Kataoka
Biwako-yoikuin Hospital, Otsu, Japan.
Two hydrophilic, low temperature-embedding resins, Lowicryl K4M and LR White, were compared in lectin cytochemistry. Post-embedding staining of colloidal gold-labeled Griffonia symplicifolia agglutinin II (GSA- II) resulted in staining of the Golgi apparatus and mucous granules of mucous neck cells in the gastric fundic gland, pylorocytes, and Brunner's gland cells embedded in either resin, although it was much easier to make ultra-thin sections with LR White-embedded material than with the other. Post-fixation with uranyl acetate followed by LR White embedding improved general ultrastructure so that lectin binding sites were identified precisely. All examined lectins, soybean agglutinin (SBA), Maclura pomifera agglutinin (MPA), GSA-II, and Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA-I), stained mucous granules and the Golgi apparatus, in which the staining pattern was characteristic of each lectin: cis cisternae were labeled with SBA and MPA, intermediate cisternae with GSA-II, and trans cisternae and mucous granules with SBA, GSA-II, UEA- I, and lightly with MPA. No labeling was observed in the rough endoplasmic reticulum with any lectin. These findings suggest that the Golgi apparatus is the site of O-linked glycosylation and can be divided into at least three distinct compartments with regard to the glycosylation.
