Abstract：
:We conducted an immunoelectron-microscopic study for histamine (HA) in the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells of normal rats and rats given alpha-fluoromethylhistidine (alpha-FMH, 3 mg/kg per hour) via osmotic minipumps over a period of 24 h. The indirect immunoperoxidase procedure utilized a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb), AHA-2, which is produced against glutaraldehyde-conjugated HA. alpha-FMH is a potent and irreversible inhibitor of the HA-forming enzyme histidine decarboxylase and is known to reduce tissue HA concentrations in several tissues. The present study clearly demonstrated that HA immunoreactivity, which was found to a high degree in the cores of the granules and secretory vesicles and in the cytoplasm of ECL cells of control rats, was completely abolished from the corresponding compartments in the cells of alpha-FMH-treated rats. Furthermore, treatment with alpha-FMH drastically lowered the number of secretory vesicles and was associated with larger cores in the granules of the ECL cells. These results seem to support the idea of a HA-pathway mechanism, emphasizing that the granules in normal ECL cells take up HA from the cytosol during its transport from the Golgi zone to the more peripheral portion of the cell and condense it in their cores, thus forming mature secretory vesicles. However, the present study showed that not only the secretory vesicles but also almost all the granules seen in ECL cells were already loaded with HA in their cores, suggesting that the newborn granules very rapidly take up HA from the cytosol. Also suggested was the fact that HA depletion impairs the maturation of the granules into secretory vesicles.
