Tóm tắt

The occurrence of endocytotic mechanisms in human small intestinal absorptive cells was investigated by culturing biopsy specimens in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), lactoperoxidase (LPO), and ferritin. The results indicate that both HRP and LPO entered the cells by apical endocytosis, after which they were transported via apical vesicles and tubules to the lysosome-like bodies. Ferritin, which showed a distinct affinity for the cell-coat glycoproteins, was not interiorized by the absorptive cells. These findings suggest that although human absorptive cells have an endocytotic mechanism, possibly fluid-phase endocytosis, cell-coat glycoproteins are not taken up by the cells, as indicated by the absence of ferritin in the apical vesicles and tubules, as well as the lysosome-like bodies. These findings provide indirect support for our hypothesis that the lysosome-like bodies have a function in the regulation of cell-coat glycoprotein transport via a crinophagic mechanism (fusion of apical vesicles and tubules with lysosome-like bodies) rather than via an exocytotic-endocytotic mechanism.
