Abstract:
:The problem of the blood-brain barrier in the pineal organ of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, was investigated following intraperitoneal or intracardial injections of several tracers and dyes with different molecular weights. As demonstrated at the light-microscopic level, repeated injections of trypan blue or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) resulted in an accumulation of these substances in the pineal epithelium (parenchyma). By use of the electron microscope, HRP was found in electron-dense bodies, probably lysosomes, in the endothelial cells and perivascular macrophages 4 h after intraperitoneal injection, the supporting cells and intrapineal or luminal macrophages 8 h after injection, and the receptor cells 24 h after injection of the tracer. Ferritin particles penetrated the fenestrated endothelium of pineal capillaries. They were confirmed to vesicles, vacuoles and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the supporting cells as well as to the synaptic vesicles and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of the pineal photoreceptors. The intercellular passage of tannic acid mixed with the fixative was blocked at the luminal junctional complex separating the pineal lumen from the basal portion of the pineal epithelium. The passive intercellular transport of substances with high molecular weight from the bloodstream to the cerebrospinal-fluid compartment is thus prevented. However, no blood-brain barrier exists for exogenously administered proteins, which are rapidly taken up by pineal cells and actively transported in a transcellular manner. The findings on the blood-brain barrier of the pineal organ of the rainbow trout are discussed with particular reference to the endocrine capacity of pineal sensory organs.
