Embryonic macrophages of early rat yolk sac: Immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure with reference to endodermal cell layer.

Abstract:

:Macrophages are multifunctional cells that participate in numerous biological processes; they actively phagocytose foreign particles and cell debris. Embryonic tissue macrophages are present at early stages of mammalian development; their ontogeny and function is still under investigation. Our study used immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy to investigate early rat yolk sac macrophages using mouse antirat macrophage monoclonal antibodies (mAb) Mar 1 and Mar 3 produced by our laboratory. Mar 3 mAb revealed the first emergence of immature macrophages in the rat yolk sac at fetal day nine coinciding with the beginning of yolk sac haemopoiesis that consisted mainly of erythropoiesis, while Mar 1 mAb detected specifically rat yolk sac macrophages at about the 13th to 14th day of gestation. Immunoreactivity against Mar mAbs was mainly located in the yolk sac endodermal cell layer, which may signify endodermal origin of the yolk sac macrophages. Ultrastructurally mature yolk sac macrophages contained numerous endocytic vesicles or vacuoles, well-developed Golgi saccules and many electron dense granules in their cytoplasm and a number of microvillous projections from the cell surface. After establishment of the circulation between yolk sac and embryo, Mar 3 positive cells were also demonstrated inside fetal undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue at fetal day 12. The study demonstrated the first emergence of immature yolk sac macrophages being among the earliest haemopoietic cells formed in mammalian development. Thus, Mar mAbs managed to detect macrophage differentiation antigens through their development early in the rat yolk sac.
