Cytochemical study on enzyme activity associated with cerebrospinal fluid secretion in the choroid plexus and ventricular ependyma.

Abstract:

:Normal adult albino and Sprague-Dawley rats, under intraperitoneal Nembutal anesthesia, were used to demonstrate enzymatic activity in the choroid plexus and ventricular ependyma. The brain tissues were perfused or immersed with cold 2% glutaraldehyde and 8% sucrose in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer (pH 7.2-7.4) for 30 min and washed overnight in the same buffer solution., The choroid plexus (lateral and fourth ventricles) and ventricular ependyma (lateral ventricle) were trimmed from the fixed and washed brain tissues, which were frozen and sectioned. For histo- and cyto-chemical study, the sections were immersed in the following incubation media; for Na+, K+-ATPase (ouabain-sensitive, K+-dependent, p-nitrophenylphosphatase: p-NPPase) according to the one-step method of Mayahara et al. (1978): for Mg2+- ATPase, Wachstein-Meisel's incubation medium (1957); for adenylate cyclase (AC), following Araki and Saito's lead citrate method (1979). The cytochemical findings gave the following results. In the choroid plexus, the ouabain-sensitive electron-dense reaction products of NA+, K+-ATPase (p-NPPase) were strongly positive in the microvilli and along the inner surface of microvilli, without showing any Mg2+-ATPase and AC activities, and all three enzymatic activities were positive along the basal plasmalemmas and negative along the lateral and apical (not including microvilli) plasmalemmas. In the ventricular ependyma, Na+,K+-ATPase (P-NPPase) activity was not found, and the reaction product of AC was observed on the apical plasmalemmas and those of Mg2+-ATPase along the basal plasmalemmas. These cytochemical findings are helpful in understanding the regulation of cerebrospinal fluid production through Na+, K+-ATPase (p-NPPase) and cyclic AMP (AC).
