Abstract:
Background: Autoradiography of tissue with radioactive substance such as Thorotrast by Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR) has been available. We obtained autoradiographs from Thorotrast-deposited tissue by FCR. However, the nature of radiation from tissue with Thorotrast was not certain, because alpha particles are shielded by the plastic front of the FCR cassette. Therefore, we undertook investigation to clearly explain the nature of radiation from Thorotrast in case of autoradiography.Materials and Methods: Tissue blocks of liver and spleen with Thorotrast deposition were imaged by autoradiography using FCR, and radioactivity of tissue blocks was measured by a GM survey meter. Measurement was carried out by both with and without an aluminum plate between the tissue and the surface of GM survey meter to shield beta-rays.Results: Autoradiographs of the liver and spleen with Thorotrast were successful. It took only one day to obtain autoradiograph of the spleen, and 14 days for the liver. The radioactivity count decreased dramatically when an aluminum plate was inserted between the specimen and GM survey meter, but some radiation remained. The tissue blocks were contained in a plastic bag and the front of the Cassette of Imaging Plate is covered by a thin plastic board, so alpha-rays from Thorium dioxide in Thorotrast had been shielded from the beginning.Conclusion: We concluded that the radiation from the tissue blocks with Thorotrast in a plastic bag was mostly from beta-rays and less than 5% of radiation was from gamma-rays from the daughter nuclei of Thorium dioxide.

Abstract:
This article describes a new freeze-fracture autoradiographic technique for the detection of radioactive ligands associated with the surface of cells in monolayer or suspension culture. Since freeze-fracture replicas are produced in the conventional way, all membrane features normally seen in freeze-fracture are retained, and autoradiographic grains produced by the labeled ligands are seen superimposed on unaltered exoplasmic membrane fracture faces. To assess the feasibility and resolution of this technique, we compared the surface distribution of alpha 2-macroglobulin and cholera toxin, labeled either with 125I or with colloidal gold, on 3T3-L1 fibroblasts. Both by autoradiography and cytochemical gold labeling, alpha 2-macroglobulin was associated specifically with coated pits, whereas cholera toxin was preferentially found over smaller, apparently non-coated membrane invaginations. Together with data on the surface localization of 125I-transferrin on HL-60 myelomonocytic cells, these results demonstrate the application of this technique for the accurate determination of ligand distribution over large areas of plasma membrane. The simplicity and reproducibility of the method should now allow freeze-fracture autoradiography to become a standard technique for investigating the distribution of both endogenous and exogenous cell surface-associated molecules, as well as the redistribution of such molecules under different experimental conditions.

Abstract:
We used ultrastructural autoradiographic and cytochemical methods to localize esterase activities in unstimulated guinea pig basophils and in basophils undergoing degranulation or recovery from degranulation. We used tritium-labeled diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP) as a probe for serine enzymes and localized this probe by ultrastructural autoradiography to cytoplasmic granules of immature or mature unstimulated basophils, as well as to granules released by degranulating basophils. Ultrastructural cytochemistry using alpha naphthyl acetate (ANA) as substrate localized nonspecific esterase activity to extruded granules, either within the interiors of degranulation sacs or within granules completely separated from degranulating basophils. Extruded granules retained their esterase activity for as long as 24 hr after antigen-induced degranulation. The plasma membranes of unstimulated or degranulating basophils, as well as of basophils recovering from degranulation, displayed prominent cell surface ANA esterase ectoenzyme activity. Lipid bodies, organelles present in the cytoplasm of both control and recovering basophils, were also alpha naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE)-positive. Thus, cytochemical and autoradiographic techniques localized esterase and/or [3H]-DFP-binding activities to cytoplasmic granules, lipid bodies, and cell surface of basophils, and these enzyme activities persisted during both degranulation and recovery from degranulation.

Abstract:
alpha 1-Adrenergic receptors were identified, characterized, and localized in rat cervix on Day 6 of pregnancy by autoradiography. Autoradiographic study was performed in slide-mounted rat cervix sections using [3H]-prazosin ([3H]-PRAZ) as ligand. Binding was time dependent and specific. Pharmacological study indicated that specific [3H]-PRAZ binding was inhibited with high affinity by prazosin and phenylephrine and low affinity by yohimbine and clonidine. In cervix, the alpha 1-adrenergic receptors were localized mainly to the inner circular layer of the myometrium. Binding to the outer longitudinal layer of myometrium was moderate, and binding was absent in the endometrium. The regional distribution of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors strongly suggests that the circular layer of myometrium may function as an important modulator of contractile response of the cervix, probably involved in the retention of blastocysts at the utero-cervical end of the horn.

Abstract:
Methods have been developed for the selective measurement of occupied estrogen receptors (ER) in brain tissue sections. Cryostat sections of unfixed tissue were incubated with radiolabeled estrogen at physiological temperatures, displacing endogenous receptor-bound estrogen by radioligand and thereby allowing the receptor complexes to be visualized autoradiographically after washing to remove nonspecifically bound steroid. The resultant autoradiographs were analyzed by computer-assisted densitometry. Synthetic 11 beta-methoxy-substituted radiolabeled estrogens gave the best autoradiographic images, as a result of reduced nonspecific labeling, although [3H]-estradiol was also used successfully. With the synthetic ER ligand 11 beta-methoxy 16 alpha-[125I]-iodo-estradiol, exposure times of less than 24 hr generated acceptable autoradiographs; with 3H-labeled estrogens, exposures of 3 months or more may be required. The method is sufficiently sensitive to detect physiological changes in ER occupation and to allow determination of receptor affinities and saturation binding capacities in discrete cell groups identified in sections from individual animals.

Abstract:
gp330, a large glycoprotein located in renal proximal tubules, has sequence similarities with the low-density lipoprotein receptor and the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein. The 40 KD human alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein is a newly discovered heparin binding protein homologous to a major rat Heymann nephritis factor and exhibiting high affinity binding to the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor. The present study shows by ligand blotting, light and electron microscopic autoradiography, and cytochemistry that gp330 located in coated apical membrane regions of the rat proximal tubule strongly binds the 40 KD protein. Furthermore, 45Ca2+ blotting experiments disclosed gp330 as a quantitatively important Ca2+ binding protein in renal cortex. Binding of 125I-labeled 40 KD protein to electroblotted gp330 and to coated apical membrane regions in sections of renal proximal tubules was abolished by excess unlabeled 40 KD protein, heparin, and EDTA. The endocytic properties of gp330 were investigated by in vivo microperfusion of rat proximal tubules. After 6 min, 125I-labeled 40 KD protein was mainly found in endocytic vacuoles and later accumulated in lysosomes. These data demonstrate that gp330 is a Ca2+ binding receptor for endocytosis of protein and is functionally related to the alpha 2-macroglobulin receptor/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein. Furthermore, our results demonstrate the usefulness of semi-thin and ultra-thin cryosections in studies of ligand binding and subcellular localization of receptors with autoradiographic techniques.

Abstract:
We used light microscopic autoradiography to quantify the distribution of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in vessels and muscle fibers of slow-twitch (type I), fast-twitch (types IIa and IIb), and mixed fiber muscles of the rat hindquarter. Frozen cross sections of soleus, vastus lateralis, and gastrocnemius muscles were incubated under equilibrium binding conditions with 10-200 pM [3H]prazosin with or without 10(-5) M phentolamine. Because of the low concentration of bound radioligand, specific binding could not be detected with scintillation spectrometry in whole tissue sections scraped from slides. However, quantitative autoradiographic analysis after extended intervals of emulsion exposure revealed a low but significant level of specific binding in muscle fibers. No difference in alpha 1-receptor density was observed among types I, IIa, and IIb fibers. Small blood vessels had a much greater alpha 1-receptor density than muscle fibers. Resistance arterioles (20-100 microns diam) and small arteries (100-500 microns diam) contained 5.8 +/- 0.9 and 31.6 +/- 7.6 (+/- SE) times more binding sites per unit section area, respectively, than did surrounding muscle fibers (both P less than 0.001). Ratios of specific grain densities in fibers and blood vessels did not vary with radioligand concentration, indicating that observed grain densities reflected differences in receptor concentration rather than radioligand affinity by fiber and vessel receptors. The densities of vascular alpha 1-receptors did not vary in slow- and fast-twitch muscles, but resistance arterioles were six and eight times more numerous in soleus than in gastrocnemius and vastus muscles, respectively (both P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract:
Human calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is localized to sensory neurons in pulmonary vessels and is a potent vasodilator. We have characterized the effects of CGRP in human pulmonary vessels and localized the receptors for this peptide by autoradiography. Fresh human lung tissue was obtained from eight patients undergoing surgery and small (200–400 microns ID) pulmonary arteries and veins were dissected free of surrounding connective and pulmonary tissue. Pairs of vessels were studied and in one of each pair the endothelium was left intact and from the other of each pair the endothelium was removed by gentle abrasion. For functional studies arteries (n = 9) and veins (n = 9) were suspended in an organ bath, precontracted with 1 microM prostaglandin F2 alpha. CGRP (10 pM to 10 microM) was added in a cumulative manner. CGRP caused a dose-dependent relaxation of endothelium intact human pulmonary arteries and veins with log EC50 values of -8.01 +/- 0.35 and -8.70 +/- 0.40, respectively (not significant). Removal of the endothelium did not diminish the vasodilator potency of CGRP in either vessel. For autoradiographic studies, cryostat sections of the small human pulmonary vessels with or without endothelium were used. 125I-CGRP densely labeled CGRP receptors on vascular smooth muscle and endothelial removal did not have any effect on grain density. We concluded that CGRP is a potent vasodilator of human pulmonary arteries and veins that is not dependent on an intact endothelium. These functional studies correlate with the distribution of CGRP receptors as localized by autoradiography.

Abstract:
Le 226Ra, descendant radioactif de l’238U et isotope majoritaire naturellement présent sur Terre, suscite de nombreuses problématiques environnementales en raison de sa demi-vie de 1600 ans dans des industries variées : hydrothermalisme, désalinisation de l’eau de mer et production de zircon par exemple ; mais surtout dans les industries extractives : pétrole et gaz de schiste, charbon, phosphate et uranium. Le 226Ra est retenu au sein des résidus de traitement des mines d’U et sa mobilité est contrôlée par les mécanismes de sorption à la surface de minéraux (oxy-hydroxydes de fer, phyllosilicates, zéolithes), ou de la matière organique ou par la formation de solutions solides (minéraux sulfatés comme la barytine et minéraux carbonatés). La concentration moyenne dans les roches lithosphériques étant de 32 Bq/kg, soit 1 ppt, l’identification des mécanismes de rétention de ce radionucléide à l’échelle du matériau échantillonné sur le terrain est rendue difficile par son caractère ultra-trace. Les extractions séquentielles, technique classique pour le suivi des éléments traces, peuvent être sujettes à de nombreux artefacts exacerbés pour les éléments ultra-traces. Dans le cadre de ce travail, une modélisation géochimique d’expériences de lixiviations séquentielles a en effet montré que cette technique conduit à des interprétations biaisées en particulier dans le cas du 226Ra, soumis à de nombreux mécanismes de remobilisation aux différentes étapes de lixiviation. Afin de mieux comprendre les processus de rétention du 226Ra et la distribution de celui-ci dans les matériaux hétérogènes et finement divisés, dont font partie les résidus de traitement de l’extraction minière, une nouvelle approche a été développée couplant autoradiographie alpha, cartographies chimiques élémentaires et caractérisations minéralogiques obtenues entre autres par MEB/EDS sur lames minces pétrographiques. Une analyse globale directe de l’ensemble de l’activité de l’échantillon à l’échelle de la lame mince pétrographique est ainsi possible. Cette méthode a été qualifiée tout d’abord sur des échantillons de référence contenant un seul minéral synthétique ou naturel jouant un rôle important dans la rétention du 226Ra en milieu naturel, puis à un assemblage de trois des principaux minéraux responsables de la rétention, à savoir : barytine, minéraux argileux et oxy-hydroxydes de fer. Enfin, elle a été directement appliquée à des résidus de traitement. Un premier corpus est issu des sites français de stockage post-miniers de Bellezane, où les résidus de traitement sont stockés sous couverture solide, et de Bois Noirs Limouzat, qui utilise une couverture liquide. Sont également considérés des résidus du site en activité de traitement de minerai de McClean Lake, au Canada, qui utilise un processus de neutralisation des résidus par précipitation de barytine
226Ra, a radioactive decay product of 238U and the most prevalent naturally occurring isotope of radium leads to many environmental issues in various industries due to its half-life of 1600 years: hydrothermal energy, seawater desalination and zircon production among others. The most impacted industries are the extractive ones: shale oil and gas production, coal, phosphate and uranium extraction. 226Ra remains in tailings from U mines and its mobility is controlled by retention mechanisms: sorption on mineral surfaces (iron oxy-hydroxydes, phyllosilicates, zeolites) and organic matter, or by the formation of solid solutions (sulfate minerals such as barite and carbonate minerals). The average concentration in lithospheric rocks being 32Bq / kg, or 1ppt, the identification of the retention mechanisms of this radionuclide at the scale of the material sampled in the field is made difficult because it is an ultra-trace element. Sequential extractions are commonly used to assess the retention of trace elements, but this technique is subject to experimental and analytical artefacts which are exacerbated in the case of an ultra-trace element. In this work, geochemical modeling of sequential extractions experiments has indeed shown that this technique leads to biased interpretations, particularly in the case of 226Ra which is remobilized during the different extraction steps. In order to have a better understanding of the retention of 226Ra and its distribution in heterogeneous and fine-grained materials, including mine tailings, a new approach has been developed. This approach combines alpha autoradiography, chemical elemental cartographies and mineralogical characterizations obtained on petrographic thin sections. A direct global analysis of the activity of the sample at the petrographic thin section scale is thus possible. This method was first qualified on model samples containing a single synthetic or natural mineral playing an important role in the retention of 226Ra in the natural environment. It was then tested on an assemblage of three of the main minerals responsible for the retention, namely: barite, clay minerals and iron oxy-hydroxydes. Finally, it was applied to U-mine tailings. A first set of samples comes from the French post-mining storage sites of Bellezane, where the tailings are stored under a solid cover, and from Bois Noirs Limouzat, which uses a liquid cover. A second set of tailings sample comes from the on-going ore processing facility of McClean Lake, Canada, which uses a tailings neutralization process by barite precipitation. The results show that barite is the main trap of 226Ra via the formation of a solid solution (Ba, Ra)SO4 in all these tailings from different sites. Over a few years, with or without neutralization by barite precipitation, it appears that this solid solution tends towards a recrystallization equilibrium which controls the concentration of 226Ra in solution. These results will subsequently be integrated into reactive transport type modeling to predict the long-term behavior of these tailings

Abstract:
Although it has been accepted that the dense bodymay be the most predominant storage site of serotonin (5HT), some literatures suggested that 5KT was localized more abundantly in the alpha-granules or theplasma membrane than in the dense body. The discrepancy may be due to different methods used.For example, the former dense body theory is mostly based on biochemical measurements of 5HT which may easily diffusible among subcellular fractions, and the latter hypothesis is proposed by autoradiographic demonstration of exogenously applied 5HT. In the present study, endogenous 5HT has been visualized by immunoelectron microscopy using monoclonal antibody against 5HT.Platelet rich plasma (PRP) of rabbits was suspended for 30 min in a fixative containing 0.5% glutaraldehyde, 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.5% picric acid in 0.1M phosphate buffer (PB; pH 7.4), and resuspended overnight in the glutaraldehyde-free fixative. After wash the PRP was incubated for 3 days with PB containing saline and 0.03% Triton X-100 (PBST), and reacted for 3 days with monoclonal 5HT antibody ( 1μg/ml). The immunoreactive sites were rendered visible byABC immunohistochemistry (ABC from Vector Co. USA) with DAB precipitation. The colorized PRP was osmificated (1%) for 30 min, dehydrated with alcohol, embedded in Spurr and cut into ultrathin sections for electron microscopic observation. For immunohistochemical controls monoclonal 5HT antibody preabsorbed with O.lmM 5HT or non-immune normal mouse serum was used as the primary antibody, and no specific reaction was observed. Very fine 5HT-positive immunoreaction products were clearly localized in some granules with different staining intensity. These positive granules were mostly round or ovoid in shape with variousdiameters. The present immunohistochemical results appears to support previous results suggesting that 5HT is located in such granules as alpha-granules anddense bodies.

Abstract:
Since activated platelets bind factor XI (FXI), FXIa and high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK), promote the proteolytic activation of FXI, release an inhibitor of FXIa, and may protect FXIa from inactivation by plasma protease inhibitors, we have studied the complex interrelationships between platelets, FXIa, alpha-l-protease inhibitor (α1PI) and F-IX activation. Purified FXIa was incubated in the presence or absence of thrombin-treated gel-filtered platelets (GFP) or a platelet releasate and FXIa activity assayed by the release of a H-labeled activation peptide from H-FIX. Our results confirm the report of Soons et al (Blood 68:140, 1986) that platelets secrete an inhibitor of FXIa (PXIaI). The presence of intact GFP partially protected FXIa from inactivation by the PXIaI. The presence of GFP also partially protected FXIa from inactivation in the presence of both α1PI and the PXIaI. Purified HMWK had no effect on FXIa inactivation by α1PI or by the PXIaI. Both platelet-bound FXIa and unbound FXIa in the presence of thrombin-activated platelets were protected from inactivation by α1PI. Thrombin-treated GFP had no effect on the capacity of cxjPI to inactivate trypsin or elastase. Thus the protection of FXIa from inactivation by α1PI and/or the PXIaI did not arise from a) the binding of FXIa to platelets, b) the presence of HMWK, or c) the inactivation of α1PI by platelets. When 125I-labeled FXIa was incubated with α1PI and examined by autoradiography of SDS polyacrylamide gels a complex (Mr 85,000) was observed between the active-site-containing FXIa light chain (Mr 30,000) and α1PI (Mr 54,000). The formation of this complex was inhibited in the presence of activated platelets or platelet releaseates, but was not affected by HMWK. These results support the hypothesis that platelets can regulate FXIa catalyzed F-IX activation by secreting an inhibitor of FXIa that may act primarily outside the platelet microenvironment and by protecting FXIa from inhibition, thereby localizing F-IX activation to the platelet plug.
