Abstract |
The aim of the study was to investigate the age-related variability of the proliferative activity of fibroblasts of the paravasal connective tissue of the hollow and parenchymal organs of men corpses of the first period of mature age, elderly and senile age by detecting the expression of the Ki-67 protein (MIB-1 clone) and calculating the proliferation index. The results showed that in the first period of mature age, the proliferation index is almost at the same level in the paravasal tissue cells of the parenchymal and hollow organs of the digestive tract, while the fibroblasts of the paravasal tissue of the heart have the lowest proliferation activity among all the organs studied. With age, the intensity of cell proliferation decreases, moreover, at the age of more than 75 years, a distinct organ specificity is revealed. In cells of the paravasal tissue of parenchymal organs, proliferation index is characterized by minimal values among all studied organs. The cells of the paravasal tissue of hollow organs retain significantly greater proliferative activity in the senile, which is almost twice as large as the same parameter of the parenchymatous organs in this age group.
