Abstract
Lipid metabolism involves complex pathways, which are regulated in a similar way across vertebrates. Hormonal and hypolipidemic deregulations cause lipid imbalance from fish to humans, but the underlying mechanisms are far from understood. This study explores the potential of using juvenile brown trout to evaluate the in vivo interferences caused by estrogenic (17α-ethinylestradiol - EE2), androgenic (testosterone - T), and hypolipidemic (clofibrate - CLF) compounds in lipidic and/or peroxisomal pathways. Studied endpoints were from blood/plasma biochemistry, plasma fatty acid profile, ultrastructure of hepatocytes and abundance of their peroxisomes to mRNA expression in the liver. Both T and CLF caused minimal effects when compared to EE2. Estrogenized fish had significantly higher hepatosomatic indexes, increased triglycerides and very-low density lipoproteins (VLDL) in plasma, compared with solvent control. Morphologically, EE2 fish showed increased lipid droplets in hepatocytes, and EE2 and T reduced volume density of peroxisomes in relation to the hepatic parenchyma. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plasma, namely n-3 PUFA, increased with EE2. EE2 animals had increased mRNA levels of vitellogenin A (VtgA), estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), PPARαBa and acyl-CoA long chain synthetase 1 (Acsl1), while ERβ-1, acyl-CoA oxidase 1-3I (Acox1-3I), Acox3, PPARγ, catalase (Cat), urate oxidase (Uox), fatty acid binding protein 1 (Fabp1) and apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) were down-regulated. In summary, in vivo EE2 exposure altered lipid metabolism and peroxisome dynamics in brown trout, namely by changing the mRNA levels of several genes. Our model can be used to study possible organism-level impacts, viz. in gonadogenesis.

Abstract
Enriched endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi membranes subjected to mass spectrometry have uncovered over a thousand different proteins assigned to the ER and Golgi apparatus of rat liver. This, in turn, led to the uncovering of several hundred proteins of poorly understood function and, through hierarchical clustering, showed that proteins distributed in patterns suggestive of microdomains in cognate organelles. This has led to new insights with respect to their intracellular localization and function. Another outcome has been the critical testing of the cisternal maturation hypothesis showing overwhelming support for a predominant role of COPI vesicles in the transport of resident proteins of the ER and Golgi apparatus (as opposed to biosynthetic cargo). Here we will discuss new insights gained and also highlight new avenues undertaken to further explore the cell biology of the ER and the Golgi apparatus through tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Lysosomotropic agents are selectively taken up into lysosomes following their administration to man and animals [de Duve et al. (1974) Biochem. Pharmacol. 23:2494-2531] The effects of lysosomotropic drugs studied in vivo and in vitro can be used as models of lysosomal storage diseases. These agents include many drugs still used in clinical medicine: aminoglycosides used in antibiotics [Tulkens (1988)]; phenothiazine derivatives; such antiparasitic drugs as chloroquine and suramin; antiinflammatory drugs like gold sodium thiomalate; and cardiotonic drugs like sulmazol [Schneider (1992) Arch. Toxicol. 66:23-33]. Side-effects to these drugs can be caused by their lysosomotropic properties. In addition to drugs, other compounds to which man and animals are exposed (e.g., metals, cytostatics, vitamins, hormones) are also lysosomotropic. Liver cells, especially Kuppfer cells, are known to accumulate lysosomotropic agents. Here we review studies which evaluate lysosomal changes in the liver following administration of lysosomotropic agents to experimental animals, and relate them to toxic side-effects or pharmacological action, as was suggested by de Duve et al. (1974). Common features of lysosomal changes include, the overload of liver lysosomes by non-digestible material; increased size and number of liver lysosomes; inhibition of several lysosomal enzymes; secondary increase in the activity of some lysosomal enzymes; increased autophagy, and fusion disturbances. There was no significant change in endocytosis, except for an increase in the Triton WR 1339 model.

Abstract
Hepatocytes, as the major site of synthesis and terminal catabolism of plasma lipoproteins, exert the major regulatory influence on the concentration of atherogenic lipoproteins in blood plasma and may thereby influence the rate of atherogenesis. The LDL receptor on the microvillous sinusoidal surface of hepatocytes mediates the catabolism of remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and LDL. Binding of VLDL remnants to the receptor, mediated by apo E, is of very high affinity and presumably multivalent, whereas binding of LDL, mediated by apo B-100, is monovalent and of lower affinity, accounting for the much longer residence time of the latter in the blood. The magnitude of the influx of lipoprotein particles into hepatocytic endosomal compartments dwarfs that of other macromolecules undergoing receptor-mediated endocytosis and terminal catabolism in lysosomes of these cells. The intracellular compartments and processing steps in hepatocytic lipoprotein uptake and degradation are essentially the same as those described for other ligands in the liver and other cells. Receptors with bound lipoproteins migrate into coated pits which become coated vesicles. These vesicles uncoat and fuse to form CURL vesicles and tubules near the cell surface where most receptors are recycled, presumably via receptor-rich appendages that become separated from the vesicles. CURL vesicles become mature MVBs as they migrate to the Golgi/bile canalicular pole of hepatocytes, where they fuse with putative Golgi-derived primary lysosomes and are transformed into heterophagic secondary lysosomes. MVBs also contain a receptor-rich appendage that may recycle some receptors directly to the cell surface or through adjacent Golgi compartments. Dilated ends of trans-Golgi cisternae contain nascent VLDL undergoing packaging for secretion following their synthesis and assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum. Because these "forming secretory vesicles" resemble remnant-filled MVBs, occur in a similar location in the Golgi area of hepatocytes and coisolate in centrifugal fractions of liver homogenates, there has been considerable confusion about the identity of these compartments. With the aid of specific endocytic and exocytic markers, highly purified and morphologically intact endosomal and Golgi compartments can now be obtained from rat liver homogenates. The availability of these and similar fractions of defined purity should facilitate investigation of the hepatocytic processing of endocytosed and secreted macromolecules. Although chylomicron remnants are also taken up by receptor-mediated endocytosis, the nature of the hepatocytic remnant receptor remains elusive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
It is currently admitted that the synthesis and excretion of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (chylomicrons and 'small chylomicrons') by intestinal epithelial cells involves the Golgi apparatus as an obligatory final step before exocytosis. The cells of the proximal intestine of the trout are an excellent model for investigating functional compartmentalization in the course of lipid absorption. Using this model, our data invalidate morphological data which were the basis for considering the Golgi apparatus as the mandatory final stage for their secretion. In particular, we show that triglyceride-rich particles can be transported directly from the endoplasmic reticulum to the intercellular space. Two pathways of intestinal lipoprotein excretion appear to coexist. One follows the classical export route, the second functions in a manner that bypasses the Golgi apparatus. The arguments used to affirm the requirement for the Golgi apparatus as a final step (glycosylation of apoprotein B, membrane vehicle for exocytosis) are discussed.

Abstract
Plasma lipoproteins (and other ligands) are endocytosed by hepatocytes and appear in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) in the Golgi-lysosome region of the cell prior to their degradation. We have isolated MVB fractions from livers of estradiol-treated rats, permitting studies of their properties (Hornick et al. 1985). Here we report our cytochemical studies of lysosomal enzyme activity in partially and highly purified MVB fractions and in MVBs in hepatocytes in situ. Only about 15% of partially or highly purified MVBs were positive for acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase, consistent with the prelysosomal nature of this compartment. Partially purified MVB fractions contained small round vesicles, 70-120 nm in diameter, which stained intensely for these enzymes; occasionally these vesicles appeared to fuse with MVBs, suggesting that these structures are primary lysosomes. Such stained vesicles were rarely seen in highly purified MVB preparations. Acid phosphatase reaction product with cerium as capture reagent appeared as uniform precipitates surrounding endocytosed plasma lipoproteins in positively stained MVBs. Arylsulfatase reaction product, however, appeared as distinctive arc or plaque-like deposits just inside the MVB-limiting membrane, often in continuity with intense reaction product contained in a fusing primary lysosome. Similar putative primary lysosomes were occasionally observed in isolated, "intact" Golgi fractions from the same livers. Similar histochemical reactivities of MVBs and putative primary lysosomes were observed in thin sections of hepatocytes in situ. These observations support the conclusion that, in hepatocytes, MVBs represent the immediate prelysosomal compartment in the endocytic pathway of macromolecular catabolism, and suggest that MVBs are converted to secondary lysosomes by direct fusion with primary lysosomes arising from closely adjacent Golgi compartments.

Abstract
beta-galactosidase is a ubiquitous lysosomal hydrolase that specifically cleaves terminal beta-galactosyl residues from glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans, oligosaccharides, and glycolipids. To study the intracellular distribution of this enzyme, we prepared a specific polyclonal antibody to lysosomal beta-galactosidase by immunizing rabbits with a highly purified preparation of beta-galactosidase from rat liver. Using this antibody we employed an immunocytochemical technique (protein A coupled to horseradish peroxidase and diaminobenzidine cytochemistry) and showed that beta-galactosidase is present in all hepatocytes of the rat liver. All types of lysosomes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and the specialized region of smooth endoplasmic reticulum known as GERL showed immunoreactivity. This in situ distribution suggests that these organelles are involved in the biosynthesis and intracellular sorting of this lysosomal enzyme.

Abstract
Mannosidase II is involved in the trimming of alpha-1,6-mannosyl residues during the biosynthesis of glycoproteins containing N-linked oligosaccharides of the complex type. A highly specific polyclonal antibody (IgG) was isolated from rabbits immunized with a homogeneous preparation of mannosidase II prepared from rat liver. With this antibody, light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical studies on rat liver reveal that essentially all mannosidase II in hepatocytes is localized in the Golgi apparatus, the only other site with reaction product being the endoplasmic reticulum. The indirect immunocytochemical method used in this study involved three major steps: exposure of aldehyde-fixed tissue to immune and nonimmune IgG, treatment with staphylococcal protein A labeled with horseradish peroxidase, and incubation in diaminobenzidine to reveal sites of peroxidase activity. The procedures described overcome major problems in immunocytochemistry, allowing preservation of antigenic sites and maintaining adequate ultrastructural integrity. The in situ localization of other carbohydrate-processing enzymes, involved in either trimming or attachment of sugar residues, should be possible with this procedure. Because biosynthetic precursors of the processing enzymes may be revealed by an immunocytochemical approach, it is potentially significant that mannosidase II reaction product is present in areas of the endoplasmic reticulum as well as in the Golgi apparatus.

Abstract
The electron microscopical localization of acid phosphatase activity was investigated in ultra-thin and semi-thin sections of unvacuolated notochordal cells of chick embryos from stages 9 to 14 (as defined by Hamburger & Hamilton). At stage 9, many notochordal cells show a lightly positive reaction for acid phosphatase activity. Thereafter, the acid phosphatase-positive cells of the notochord increase in number and, at stage 14, the reaction products for the enzymes are distributed throughout almost all the cisternae of the nuclear envelope and a well-differentiated endoplasmic reticulum, the parallel cisternal and reticular parts of the Golgi complex, and various lysosomes in nearly all notochordal cells. In the cisternae of the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum, the acid phosphatase reaction products are in a fine granular form. In the outermost layer of the cisternal parts of the Golgi complex, faint lead deposits similar to those in the endoplasmic reticulum are found, but in other cisternal and reticular regions which may correspond to the GERL, considerable amounts of reaction products are present. Knob-like projections are also seen protruding from the reticular parts of the Golgi complex. These results suggest that, at least up to stage 14, the notochordal cells are actively synthesizing acid phosphatase which is directly transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. The enzyme may be accumulated by the Golgi complex from which primary lysosomes are formed. Furthermore, the pattern of the ultrastructural localization of acid phosphatase activity in embryonic notochordal cells of the chick differs from that of adult cells of other animals.

Abstract
The vasopressin-producing neurons of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system are a particularly good model with which to consider the relationship between the Golgi apparatus nd GERL and their roles in secretory granule production because these neurons increase their synthesis and secretion of vasopressin in response to hyperosmotic stress. Enzyme cytochemical techniques for acid phosphatase (AcPase) and thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activities were used to distinguish GERL from the Golgi apparatus in cell bodies of the supraoptic nucleus from normal mice, mice hyperosmotically stressed by drinking 2% salt water, and mice allowed to recover for 5-10 d from hyperosmotic stress. In nonincubated preparations of control supraoptic perikarya, immature secretory granules at the trans face of the Golgi apparatus were frequently attached to a narrow, smooth membrane cisterna identified as GERL. Secretory granules were occasionally seen attached to Golgi saccules. TPPase activity was present in one or two of the trans Golgi saccules; AcPase activity appeared in GERL and attached immature secretory granules, rarely in the trans Golgi saccules, and in secondary lysosomes. As a result of hyperosmotic stress, the Golgi apparatus hypertrophied, and secretory granules formed from all Golgi saccules and GERL. Little or no AcPase activity could be demonstrated in GERL, whereas all Golgi saccules and GERL-like cisternae were TPPase positive. During recovery, AcPase activity in GERL returned to normal; however, the elevated TPPase activity and secretory granule formation seen in GERL-like cisternae and all Golgi saccules during hyperosmotic stress persisted. These results suggest that under normal conditions GERL is the predominant site for the secretory granule formation, but during hyperosmotic stress, the Golgi saccules assume increased importance in this function. The observed cytochemical modulations in Golgi saccules and GERL suggest that GERL is structurally and functionally related to the Golgi saccules.

Abstract
The hepatic uptake and catabolism of low density lipoproteins are stimulated severalfold in rats treated with large amounts of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol. To determine the sites within the liver at which these processes occur, (125)I-labeled human low density lipoproteins were injected intravenously into intact control and estradiol-treated rats or added to perfusates of their isolated livers. The livers were fixed by perfusion and processed for light and electron microscopic autoradiography. Distribution of autoradiographic silver grains was estimated qualitatively in light micrographs and quantitatively in electron micrographs. Many more silver grains were seen in livers from estradiol-treated than from control rats, but the processing of labeled low density lipoprotein was indistinguishable. Three minutes after intravenous injection or perfusion of livers, the grains were concentrated over the microvillous surface of parenchymal cells bordering the space of Disse. Many of these grains were within two half-distances from endocytic pits. Only 5-15% of the grains were seen over endothelial and Kupffer cells. Silver grains were also observed over vesicles beneath the plasma membrane whose size and shape suggested that they were derived from fusion of endocytic vesicles. By 15 min, grains were predominantly located in structures like multivesicular bodies in the region of the GERL (Golgi complex-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosomes) near the bile canaliculi. These bodies were packed with small vesicle-like structures and a few larger vesicles, the latter possessing a unit membrane. Between 15 and 30 min, when proteolysis of low density lipoproteins is known to begin, the initially clear matrix of the multivesicular body-like structures became dark and the structures frequently had a dense tail-like appendage. At the same time, silver grains began to appear over secondary lysosomes. These and other results indicate that the hepatic uptake of low density lipoproteins that is stimulated in rats given large amounts of estradiol follows a pathway that closely resembles that of the well-defined "LDL receptor" in cultured cells. In the liver these lipoproteins appear to be transported in endocytic vesicles; the vesicles fuse to form multivesicular body-like structures that acquire lysosomal enzymes and are converted to secondary lysosomes as the lipoproteins are degraded.

Abstract
In differentiating 3T3-L1 cells, lipid spheres, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), microperoxisomes, and mitochondria form "constellations" that may reflect the interplay of lipid metabolizing enzymes in these organelles. ER cisternae are also situated very close to "rosettes,"plasmalemmal specializations found in mature adipocytes in vivo. As in hepatocytes and absorptive cells of the intestine, this spatial relationship of ER and plasmalemma suggests a role for rosettes in the uptake of exogenous lipid precursors. The morphological differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes includes the loss of "stress fibers" and the appearance of microfilament like structures that encase, in a complex manner, the cytosolic lipid spheres that appear during differentiation. Other features described for the first time in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes include: (a) the presence of an extensive acid phosphatase (AcPase) positive GERL from which coated vesicles apparently arise (these coated vesicles display AcPase activity and are much smaller and far more numerous than the coated vesicles that seem to arise from the plasmalemmal coated pits); (b) the abundance of AcPase-positive autophagic vacuoles; and (c) a high level of alpha-naphthyl-acetate-esterase activity which, by light microscopy cytochemistry, appears to be localized in the cytosol.

Abstract
Cultured diploid human skin fibroblasts were fractionated by a procedure that maximizes recovery of particles containing acid hydrolases. The cells were detached by controlled trypsinization, disrupted by N2 cavitation at low pressure and fractionated at 18,000 x g on a self-generating gradient of colloidal silica. This procedure separated two species of particles that could be consisered lysosomal. The denser one (peak density 1.11) was apparently free of other contaminants, but the more buoyant one (peak density 1.085) sedimented with or close to the peaks of other organelles, including mitochondria, Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membranes. The two populations of particles contained acid hydrolases (phosphatase, six glycosidases and four cathepsins) in roughly equal proportions, displayed latency, had similar turnover of 35S-mucopolysaccharide in normal as well as in iduronidase-deficient cells, and were recipients of alpha-L-iduronidase, previously shown to be acquired by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Acid phosphatase staining of the intact fibroblasts showed residual bodies scattered throughout the cytoplasm and, near the nucleus, a prominent network of tubules and associated dilatations and knob-like enlargements. In both thin and thick sections, these appeared continuous, as if forming a three-dimensional network similar to the network described by Novikoff (1976) as GERL. Ultrastructural studies of the isolated fractions showed the denser lysosomal peak to be composed of small round or oblong acid phosphatase-positive bodies. The more buoyant peak contained the nonlysosomal organelles predicted from the biochemical markers, small acid phosphatase-positive bodies and large multivesiculated structures in which acid phosphatase was localized in a matrix surrounding apparently empty vesicles. These large structures may represent fragments of GERL. We suggest that the dense and buoyant lysosomal organelles originate primarily from residual bodies and the GERL network, respectively.
