The distribution of MUC1, an apical membrane glycoprotein, in mammary epithelial cells at the resolution of the electron microscope: implications for the mechanism of milk secretion.

Abstract:

:The distribution of the glycoprotein, mucin 1 (MUC1), was determined in lactating guinea-pig mammary tissue at the resolution of the electron microscope. MUC1 was detected on the apical plasma membrane of secretory epithelial cells, the surface of secreted milk-fat globules, the limiting membranes of secretory vesicles containing casein micelles and in small vesicles and tubules in the apical cytoplasm. Some of the small MUC1-containing vesicles were associated with the surfaces of secretory vesicles and fat droplets in the cytoplasm. MUC1 was detected in much lower amounts on basal and lateral plasma membranes. By quantitative immunocytochemistry, the ratio of MUC1 on apical membranes and milk-fat globules to that on secretory vesicle membranes was estimated to be 9.2:1 (density of colloidal gold particles/microm membrane length). The ratio of MUC1 on apical membranes compared with basal/lateral membranes was approximately 99:1. The data are consistent with a mechanism for milk-fat secretion in which lipid globules acquire an envelope of membrane from the apical surface and possibly from small vesicles containing MUC1 in the cytoplasm. During established lactation, secretory vesicle membrane does not appear to contribute substantially to the milk-fat globule membrane, or to give rise in toto to the apical plasma membrane.
