Immunogold localization of actin and cytokeratin filaments in myoepithelium of human parotid salivary gland.

Abstract:

:Myoepithelial cells of salivary gland are uniquely specialized cells; their function is unclear, but the considerable complement of muscle-specific actin suggests contractility is one function. By routine transmission electron microscopy myofilament visualization is variable. Some myoepithelial cells appear to have limited and only focal aggregates of myofilaments, while others seem to have readily appreciated myofilaments within a longitudinally oriented cytoplasmic zone at the basal portion of the cell. However, immunogold electron microscopy using the anti-muscle-specific actin antibody, HHF35, while indicating a basal distribution for the muscle-isoform of actin in a platelike fashion in certain myoepithelial cells, also reveals that others associated with both intercalated ducts and acini have a more generalized distribution of myofilaments throughout the cytoplasm. Actin was also noted within tonofilaments and double immunogold labeling using both the HHF35 and AE1/AE3 (anticytokeratins) antibodies confirmed the variable interrelationship of these two filaments. Within any one myoepithelial cell, actin and cytokeratins might colocalize in some areas of the cytoplasm containing filaments, but not in adjacent zones. These results suggest that intermediate filaments and myofilaments are complexly organized in myoepithelial cells, and that quantitative and qualitative differences exist in the expression and distribution of intermediate filaments and myofilaments. These cells are likely structurally, if not functionally, heterogeneous.
