Carbohydrates of the otolith organ in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss detected by lectins

Abstract: SUMMARY: A lectin‐binding assay was applied to the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, sacculus in order to identify specific sugars in the otolith organ. The binding of biotinylated lectins to the sagitta, otolith membrane and saccular epithelial cells was detected by histochemistry, and their binding to the EDTA‐soluble fraction of the otolith matrix and saccular endolymph was detected by dot‐blot analysis. N‐Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and mannose (Man) were identified in the otolith matrix with both techniq… Show more

“…Other experiments suggest that Ca 2+ ions can also move into the endolymph via passive paracellular diffusion process (Tohse and Mugiya, 2001;Payan et al, 2002;Cruz et al, 2009). The endolymph is supersaturated in CO3 2ions relative to the blood plasma as a result of active transport across the endolymphatic epithelium (Takagi, 2002), promoting the precipitation of CaCO3 crystals (Payan et al, 1997;Takagi et al, 2000). Elevated concentrations of HCO3in the endolymphatic epithelium are achieved by intracellular activity of carbonic anhydrase, which catalyzes the CO2 + H2O → HCO3 -+ H + reaction (Mayer-Gostan et al, 1997;Tohse et al, 2006).…”

“…Immunohistochemical staining of the endolymphatic epithelium revealed that soluble matrix (OMP-1) synthesizing cells occur throughout the transitional and squamous epithelium but not in the sensory epithelium (Takagi and Takahashi, 1999;Takagi et al, 2000;Murayama et al, 2002;Suzuki et al, 2004) (Fig. 2).…”

“…Fish otoliths are primarily composed of calcium carbonate (> 95%) and a small amount of organic matrix. The organic matrix has proteins (Degens et al 1969), carbohydrates (Takagi et al 2000), and their complexes (proteoglycans) as compartments. In the present study, we tested incorporation of organic carbon derived from glucose, but no radioactivity was detected in the organic fraction of otoliths, even though radioactivity of organic carbon in serum was detected 1 h after administration.…”
