Endosomes are vesicular or tubular organelles that play important roles in transports of receptors and receptor―bound ligands during receptor-mediated endocytosis. The mechanisms of endocytic transports from clathrin-coated pits to lysosomes have been studied by many investigators. However, few studies were reported about the interactions between endosomes and cytoskeletons. In this study, Fc-receptor-mediated endocytosis in macrophages are investigated by quick-freezing and deep-etching (QF-DE) method combined with gold-labeled immune complex and “replica scraping method”.

Glaucoma is a common ocular disease that causes irreversible loss of vision. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the primary risk factor for developing glaucoma. It is believed that increased IOP causes mechanical strain on the glial cells that support the retinal ganglion cell axons and thereby causes ganglion cell apoptosis [1,2]. This damage occurs in the optic nerve head (ONH) region of the eye, and is important for understanding ONH biomechanics.

It had been emphasized that luminar continuities between sER and peroxisomes were detected by conventional electron microscopy. However, recent studies ruled out the luminar continuities between sER and peroxisomes. Lazarow et al. reported that peroxisomal proteins were synthesized on free ribosomes and postulated the existence of “peroxisomal reticulum” distinct from the ER. The object of this study is to clarify the proliteration mechanism of peroxisomes after administration of a peroxisome proliferator, DEHP (di-2- ethylhexyl phthalate).Mice treated with 2% DEHP for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days and normal mice were perfused with 2% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffered solution, pH 7.4, (PB) for 5 min. The livers were cut into small pieces, washed in PB to remove cytoplasmic soluble proteins and were fixed again with 2% paraformaldehyde-0.25% glutaraldehyde for 30 min. They were quickly frozen in isopentane-propane mixture (around -190 C) and fractured in liquid nitrogen to remove the damaged surface tissues. They were deeply etched in Eiko FD-3S machine (-95°C, 2-6xl0-7 Torr) and rotary shadowed with platinum.
