Resumen: | Previous studies showed that the 139H strain of scrapie injected intra-cerebrally in hamsters caused obesity, and extensive histopathological changes in islets of Langerhans and pituitaries. In the current study, we report that an abnormal granular substance, which stained positively with periodic acid-Schiff (PASpositive substance; PPS), was found in the islets of Langerhans, pituitaries, adrenal glands, in the lumens of blood vessel cores (BVCs) and in blood vessels in 139Hinfected hamsters, but not in either 263K-infected or control hamsters. This substance was found in the endocrine organs, forming grape-like or plaque-like structures, which were small, round to ovoid, and homogenous measuring up to 7pm in diameter and usually grouped in clusters. PPS was not found in the brains of control or scrapie-infected hamsters. Using immunostaining for amyloid protein (PrP, 13A4), as well as Congo red and thioflavin-S stains, no evidence was found of amyloid plaque formation in the islets of Langerhans, the adrenal glands, or the pituitaries of 139H- or 263K-infected hamsters. PPS might relate to the pathological changes in the endocrine organs in 139H-infected hamsters. |
