Golgi Apparatus, Gerl, and Lysosomes of Neurons in Rat Dorsal Root Ganglia, Studied by Thick Section and Thin Section Cytochemistry

Abstract: New insights into the ultrastructure and phosphatase localizations of Golgi apparatus and GERL, and into the probable origin of lysosomes in the neurons of fetal dorsal root ganglia and the small neurons of adult ganglia have come from studying thick (0 .5-1 .0 µ) as well as thin (up to 500 A) sections by conventional electron microscopy . Tilting the thick specimens, by a goniometer stage, has helped to increase our understanding of the three-dimensional aspects of the Golgi apparatus and GERL . One Golgi ele… Show more

“…These observations confirm and extend older work by P. M. Novikoff, A. B. Novikoff, and colleagues who proposed a direct interface between the trans-part of the Golgi and smooth ER continuous with the rough ER based on stained thick sections (Novikoff et al, 1971). This observation led to the well-known Golgi endoplasmic reticulum lysosome hypothesis postulating a direct anterograde route from the ER to outer Golgi membrane elements.…”

“…The reaction products, localized in Golgi apparatus, were found also in tissue incubated in the presence of 20 mm 3-amino-1,2,4, triazole) (Fig. 3d), thus indicating that the staining is not due to peroxidatic activity of catalase (20). No reaction products were detected in the nucleus, nucleolus, or ribosomes as reported by others (22,24).…”

“…As in earlier studies from our laboratory (10,11), two phosphatase markers are used to distinguish the Golgi apparatus from GERL. The trans (12) element of the Golgi apparatus shows thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity whereas GERL does not.…”

“…On the other hand, GERL shows activity for acid phosphatase [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase ( 7.4 and 0.25% CaCl2 (13) and fixed for 3 hr. Further processing for morphological study by electron microscopy has been described elsewhere (10). Electron microscopic localizations of TPPase and AcPase activities were determined as previously described (10,11) except that in the present experiments the nonfrozen "chopper" sections were 20,um thick.…”
