Regional glycoprotein expression in the chicken lens.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Several previous studies have shown that glycoconjugates of extracellular matrix, cell membrane and nucleus play an important role in the mediation of cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Lens epithelial cells and lens fiber cells show regional differences with regard to these parameters. If glycoconjugates participate in the regulation of these patterns in the lens, there should be regional differences in the expression of glycoconjugates. The investigation was focused on the anterior pole, equator and nuclear bow regions, which differ extensively in lens cell proliferation and differentiation. METHODS:To check this hypothesis, the regional binding pattern of twelve different FITC-conjugated lectins was studied glycohistochemically, using paraffin embedded material. The investigation was focused on the anterior pole, equator and nuclear bow regions. RESULTS:Regional differences in lectin binding patterns were identified in the lens capsule, epithelium and the nuclear bow regions. The lens capsule was fluorescently labeled with GS-I, UEA-I, LPA, MAA, SNA only at the anterior pole and with CON-A, WGA, DBA, SBA only at the equator. Staining of the entire anterior surface of the lens capsule was observed with LFA. Cell membranes of the lens epithelium showed binding of MAA and LFA only at the equator. LFA, LPA, MAA and SNA only stained the nuclei of fiber cells at the nuclear bow region but not of lens epithelial cells. WGA strongly labeled the nuclei of equatorial epithelial cells and fiber cells at the bow region. CONCLUSIONS:It is assumed that the observed regional variations in glycoprotein expression in the extracellular matrix and lens cells contribute to the regulation of cell behavior in different areas of the lens.
