Resumen: | The lung of the tight-skin (TSK) mouse was characterized by enlargement of the air spaces. Elastin in the alveolar walls of the TSK mouse exhibited fragmentation. The aorta of the TSK mouse was characterized by marked hyperplasia of loose connective tissue in the adventitia. Collagen fibres and ruthenium red-positive materials were markedly increased. Microfibrils surrounding elastin in the adventitia of the aorta were not clear in the TSK mouse. In the lung of the beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN)-fed mouse. enlargement of the alveolar air spaces was not prominent compared with the TSK mouse. Elastic fibres in the alveolar walls did not show the fragmentation observed in the TSK mouse, and microfibrils surrounding elastin were clearly observed. However. elastic laminae in the media of the BAPNfed mouse aorta were swollen and fragmented. Elastic fibres in the adventitia exhibited a normal appearance and microfibrils surrounding elastin in the adventitia were clearly observed. The results suggest that the mechanism of the connective tissue abnormality in the TSK mouse is different from that of BAPN. which inhibits the activity of lysyl oxidase. The abnormality of elastin and microfibrils surrounding elastin in the TSK mouse probably plays a role in the deformity or degradation of elastic fibres and the structural changes of the lung. |
