 Chromaffin-adrenocortical cell interactions: effects of chromaffin cell activation in adrenal cell cocultures -- ...
Chromaffin cell activation resulted in time-dependent enhancement of neurite number (B), neurite length (C), number of branches per neurite (D), tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity (TOH-IR; on a relative scale of 1-4; E), and the number of contacts formed between chromaffin and adrenocortical cells (F).
Furthermore, in the absence of chromaffin cells (Fig.
The purity of the Percoll-purified adrenocortical cell fraction is demonstrated by the presence of only adrenocortical cells in the micrographs, compared with the presence of adrenocortical cells, chromaffin cells, and other unidentified cell types in the other figures.

Chromaffin Cell Function and Structure is Impaired in Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Type 1-Null Mice
On the ultrastructural level, chromaffin cells in saline-treated CRHR1 null mice exhibited a marked depletion in epinephrine-storing secretory granules that was not restored by ACTH-treatment.
In conclusion, CRHR1 is required for a normal chromaffin cell structure and function and deletion of this gene is associated with a significant impairment of epinephrine biosynthesis.

 biology - Chromophil
chromaffin) cell readily absorbs chromium salts which are used in histology to increase the contrast of samples for microscopy.
Chromophil cells are mostly hormone producing cells containing so called chromaffin granules.
Chromophil cells therefore belong to the group of APUD (amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation) cells.

 Secretion Control in Adrenal Chromaffin Cells   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Neuroendocrine chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla receive individual innervation through the splanchnic nerve.
The accessibility of these cells make them a useful model system for the study of vesicle exocytosis in neurons as well as other excitable secretory cells.
It is the main goal of the chromaffin cell group to better understand the manner in which the secretory vesicles reach a release-ready state and then undergo evoked fusion with the plasma membrane.

IGF2-expressing cells in the center of tumor nodules are surrounded by neuroblastic stroma-apposed cells forming a regular pattern of rosettes (marked by yellow circles in panel C) leading to a "punched-out holes" appearance in panel A.
Large ganglion cell-like cells (asterisks) are mainly present in peripheral parts of the nodule (I), whereas central cells express chromaffin markers and display distinct morphological features, consisting of specific nuclear morphology (fl arrows), smaller size, ovoid cell shape with a relatively thick cell process with varicosities extending from one pole.
In SH-SY5Y cells, the chromaffin-like change in expression of IGF2/GAP-43 was reversed within 24 h of cessation of near-anoxia with slower kinetics than that of VEGFA expression (D).
