Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the present study, in order to easily grasp whole images of somatostatin (D) cells, the isolated mucosa of the mouse gastrointestinal tract was immunohistochemically treated. The present study revealed that: (1) in the stomach, small-intestinal villi and colon, about 20% of the D cells extrude basal cytoplasmic processes, showing terminal expansions in many cases; on the other hand, in the crypts of the small intestine, few D cells possess basal processes, and (2) in the stomach, there is no determined tendency in the direction of the basal processes of the D cells; on the other hand, in the small-intestinal villi and colon, most D cell basal processes run toward the villus base and colon crypt bottoms. The direction of the basal processes of the D cells in the gastrointestinal tract seems to be mostly in favor of the migration pattern of epithelial cells described previously. It is likely that, if the targets of the D cells are near the D cells, the basal process is not necessary for local secretion of somatostatin. During migration, however, D cells might extrude basal processes to keep relationships with their targets.
