摘要
The expression of D beta H and several neuropeptides was investigated in neuronal elements of the ovine pancreas using double immunocytochemical stainings. Immunoreactivities to D beta H, NPY, VIP and SP were seen to various extents in nerve terminals associated with the acini, islets, ducts, blood vessels, interlobutar connective tissue as well. as in the neurons of intrapancreatic ganglia. The expression of CGRP was Limited to nerve fibers lying in the connective tissue septa, amongst the acini and in close vicinity to the pancreatic blood vessels. Single GRP-positive nerve endings were Located around the acini, ducts and in the interlobular connective tissue. With the exception of the ductal system in a co-localization of NPY with D beta H was frequently found in all regions of the pancreas. Moderately numerous blood vessel-associated VIP-positive nerve fibers as well as the vast majority of VIP-containing intrapancreatic neurons were found to co-express D beta H. Single SP-immunoreactive (IR) nerve fibers of the exocrine pancreas and interlobular connective tissue as well as SP-positive intrapancreatic neurons additionally showed the presence of D beta H. The co-localization of VIP and NPY was found in nerve terminals located around the blood vessels and acini, in the connective tissue septa as well as in numerous pancreatic neuronal perikarya. Rare nerve terminals Located between the acini and around small blood vessels as well as several neurons of intrapancreatic ganglia were VIP-IR/SP-IR. Simultaneous expression of SP and CGRP was found in nerve fibers supplying Large pancreatic arteries and veins, interlobular connective tissue and, occasionally, around the acini. Throughout the pancreas the population of CGRP-positive nerve endings showed lack of VIP and NPY. In a moderate number of GRP-containing nerve fibers, a co-expression of NPY was noted. Nerve terminals containing both GRP and VIP were detected sporadically, whereas none of the GRP-positive nerve terminals showed expression of SP. We conclude that the presented noradrenergic as well as peptidergic innervation patterns of the ovine pancreas are species-dependent. On the basis of the occurrence of D beta H, NPY, VIP and SP (alone or in combination) in pancreatic neuronal elements we can suggest that these substances presumably act as regulators of the endocrine and/or exocrine pancreas. Involvement of CGRP and GRP in the ovine pancreas physiology seems to be of minor importance. The co-localization study indicated that the pancreas of the sheep is innervated from several sources including intrinsic as well as extrinsic ganglia. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH. AR rights reserved.
