  1. Concept and types of tissues, epithelial tissue, epithelial cells Dr. Zita Puskár EDI. 22/09/2017

  2. Levels of Body Organization

  3. Where can we find epithelia? Surface (covering or lining) epithelia Sensory/Neuroepithelia Pigment epithelia Glandular epithelia

  4. Epithelial Tissue • Features of the epithelial cells: • Closely aggregated polygonal cells • Very little extracellular space • Strong adhesion among the cells • Epithelial tissue is non-vascularized (no blood vessels) !!! • Functions: • Covering, lining and protecting the surfaces • Absorption, resorption (epithelia in the intestines) • Secretion (glands) • Contractility (myoepithelial cells) • Specialized sensory function (taste bud, olfactory epithelium)

  5. Basement membrane Function: structural and filtering function, influence cell polarity, regulate cell ploriferation and differentiation, influence cell metabolism and survival, pathway for migration

  6. Classification by shape and number of layers Cell shape and number of layers • Number of layers • - simple • - stratified Simple epithelium: It is formed by a singe cell layer where each cell is attached to the basement membrane. Stratified epithelium: It is formed by more than one layer of cells but only cells in the basal layer are attached to the basement membrane. Pseudostratified epithelium: Each cell is attached to the basement membrane but the cell nuclei are at several different levels giving a stratified appearance of the tissue.

  7. Morphological types of epithelial tissue Simlpe squamous cuboidal columnar Pseudostratified columnar Stratified (Classification is based on the cell shape of the superficial layer) squamous cuboidal columnar transitional epithelium (urothelium) keratinized non-keratinized

  8. Quiz

  9. Functional types of epithelial tissue Surface (Covering) Surface (Lining) Glandular Modified epithelial cells Myoepithel cells Sensory cells - Neuroepithelium Pigment epithelium taste buds in the tongue

  10. Types of simple squamous epithelia epithel endothel mesothel kidney glomerulus blood vessel serous membrane According to the location and function

  11. Simple cuboidal epithelia Exretory ducts of glands Kidney tubule

  12. Simple columnar epithelia intestine

  13. Pseudostratified columnar epithelia

  14. Polarity of epithelial cells

  15. Composition of the cytoskeleton Microtubules Microfilamens - actin filaments Filaments Cytoskeleton Intermediate filaments Accessory proteins Motor proteins

  16. Specializations of the apical surface microvilli stereocilia (kino)cilia

  17. Microvilli intestine

  18. Parietal cells of the stomach

  19. Stereocilia epididymis

  20. (Kino)cilia

  21. Specializations of the basal surface - basal striation Kidney

  22. Cell adhesion Specific binding of a cell to other cells or to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is called cell adhesion, mediated by interactions between transmembrane glycoproteins called cell adhesion molecules (CAM) Function: development of tissues, cell migration, regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and cell death, pathological processes (eg. cancer metastasis)

  23. Adhesion proteins • Common features: • Extracellular domain (interaction with other CAMs (homophilic binding) or ECM (heterophilic binding) • Trans membrane domain • Intracellular domain (interaction with the cytoskeleton)

  24. Junctional complexes gj (a) Occluding junction, zonula occludens (tight junction) (b) adhesive junction, zonula adherens (c) macula adherens (desmosome) (d) hemidesmosome (e) gap junction

  25. Junctional complexes in 3D

  26. General features of junctional complexes Transmembrane adhesion proteins: Connecting cell to cell → homophil binding (occludin, cadherin: Ca2+ dependent adhering protein), Connecting cell to matrix → heterophil binding (integrins) Link proteins– connecting transmembrane adhesion proteins to cytoskeleton (spectrin) Components of the cytoskeleton (actin filaments, intermedier filaments) Types: Homophil-heterophil Ca2+ dependent – Ca2+ independent Strong - weak

  27. Zonula occludens – tight junction Transmembrane proteins: occludin (Ca2+ dependent) claudin, JAM (Junctional Adhesion Protein) Link (anchoring) proteins: Zo1, Zo2, Zo3 Actin filaments Function: separation of the apical and basolateral surfaces, diffusion barrier in the membrane and intercellular space, prevention of the lateral diffusion of membrane components

  28. Zonula adherens Function: • Firm mechanical junction • Encircles the cell • Ca2+ sensitive • Insensitive to osmotic changes • Not a diffusion barrier Actin related (in heart muscle: band like - fascia adherens, in synapse: patch like - punctum adherens)

  29. Macula adherens - desmosome plaque • Related to intermedier filaments (keratin filaments) → form networks • Patch like (patent) • Firm connection (skin, heart muscle) Desmosomal cadherins : desmoglein and desmocollin - together desmoglea Cytoplasmatic plaque: desmoplakin, plaktoglobin

  30. Desmosomal connections

  31. A disease of desmosomes: pemphigus Blistering autoimmune disease in which antibodies form against desmoglein (the transmembrane desmosomal cadherin) and the cells of stratum spinosum are separated from each other (unglued). (Blisters→sores)

  32. Hemidesmosome - Half desmosome This is not a desmosome! Binds the epithelium to the basement membrane Transmembrane proteins – integrins bind to intermedier filaments of the cell and to laminin molecule of basal lamina

  33. Gap junction Channel pore: 1.5 nm • Structural unit: connexon that consists of 6 subunits. The major protein of the subunits: connexin • Small molecules, ions move through the pores • Special signal transduction (cAMP, cGMP) • Opening and closing of the channel is Ca2+ and pH dependent • Appears also in heart muscle, electric synapse gap: 2-4 nm

  34. Transport across epithelia Sodium pumps (Mg2+ activated Na+/K+ ATP-ase) Transcellular transport (fluids and ions) Transcytosis (pinocytotic vesicles)
