Abstract:
:The postnatal development of brush cells in the distal segment of the common bile duct of the rat was examined with respect to cell number and immunoreactivity for liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP). The brush cells, distinguishable from the principal cells by scanning electron microscopy, first appeared in the common bile duct 4 weeks after birth. They showed a remarkable increase in number, with a sex difference in time, i.e., between 8 and 12 weeks in the male and between 10 and 14 weeks in the female. In both sexes, the frequency of brush cells reached approximately 30% of total epithelial cells by 16 weeks and remained constant until 40 weeks of age. Cells with positive immunoreactivity for L-FABP first appeared in small numbers at 8 weeks. Immuno-electron microscopy revealed that all immunoreactive cells were brush cells. They increased in number gradually from 16 to 40 weeks with no sex difference. At 40 weeks, the immunoreactive cells reached approximately 7.5% of total epithelial cells, corresponding to one-fourth of the number of brush cells. These results indicate that the occurrence of the brush cell population in the common bile duct is a late event in the postnatal development of the rat and that its functional maturation progresses with aging.
