Distribution of ionocytes in the saccular epithelium of the inner ear of two teleosts (Oncorhynchus mykiss and Scophthalmus maximus).

Abstract:

:The saccular membranes of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were examined to characterize specialized epithelial cells that might be responsible for ion exchange. The approach for localizing cell types was new for this tissue, as observations were made with a stereomicroscope and a light microscope in order to have a general view of the epithelium. No important differences between the two species were seen. The saccular tissue is a monolayer epithelium (except for the macula neural zone) surrounded by a layer of connective tissue invaded by many blood vessels. The use of the fluorescent probe DAPSMI and zinc iodide/osmium fixation-coloration defined two areas in which ionocytes were present. In the first, large ionocytes were grouped into a nearly complete, crowned meshwork around, but separated from, the macula. In the second area, opposite the macula, the ionocytes were smaller, cubical, and grouped in patches. Cells rich in Na+, K+-ATPase and carbonic anhydrase II were present in both areas. Contrary to previous studies in mammals and fish, ionocytes were also found in the epithelium of the saccule.
