摘要：

Although Hassall's corpuscles have been proposed to act in both maturation of developing thymocytes and removal of apoptotic cells, their function remains an enigma. The involvement of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the local autocrine and paracrine control of T-cell development in human thymus is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the structure and distribution of IGF-I and IGF-I receptor (IGF-lR)-immunopositive Hassall's corpuscles in aged human thymus using bright-field immunohistochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy. We report new immunocytochemical data for the presence of IGF-I/IGF-IR double-immunopositive Hassall's corpuscles in structurally preserved regions of age-involuted thymus and discuss the involvement of these unique thymic components in the local regulation of T-cell development and thymus plasticity during aging by IGF-I/IGF-IR-mediated cell signaling pathway.
