ENZYME HISTOCHEMISTRY
ENZYMES - DEFINITION
 Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerates a chemical reaction.
 ENZYME HISTOCHEMISTRY
Utilising histochemical techniques to demonstrate enzyme in
tissues.
PRESERVATION
 For good demonstration, maximum amount of enzyme activity
should be preserved - with accurate localisation and by preventing
diffusion of enzymes.
 Lyo-enzymes: dissolved in cytoplasm; likely to diffuse
 Desmo-enzymes: attached to cytoplasmic constituents; less likely
to diffuse
SAMPLE PREPARATION FOR ENZYME HISTOCHEMISTRY
 Fresh preparation or frozen/cryostat/freeze dried preparations are
necessary.
 Autopsy tissue: unsuitable for demonstration of enzymes.
 Cold fixative should be used to preserve maximum enzyme activity
 Eg: Ice cold formalin, ice cold alcohol
FACTORS AFFECTING ENZYME ACTIVITY
 Temperature:
 optimal temperature in EHC is 4°C -30 °C
 PH
 optimum pH-7
 ALP-9.2
 ACP-5.0
 Inhibitors
 Specific Inhibitors :eserine for choline esterase
 Non-Specific Inhibitors: heat
 Competitive Inhibitors: malonate ions for succinate dehydrogenase
 Activators:Mg ions for ALP
2 TERMS USED IN ENZYME TECHNIQUE
 Primary Reaction Product: the product of the reaction of an
enzyme on a substrate
 Final Reaction Product: the product of an insoluble uncolored PRP,
which has been made colored or opaque
METHODS OF DEMONSTRATION
 1. Simultaneous coupling
 2. Post Incubation coupling
 3. Self- Coloured substrate
 4. Intra-molecular Rearrangement
 5. Metal Precipitation
SIMULTANEOUS COUPLING
Single incubation Mixture: Substrate + Diazonium
salts
POST INCUBATION COUPLING
Substrate (for enzyme hydrolysis) and Diazonium salts (Coupling) are in separate
solutions
Advantages:
 Optimal pH for enzyme substrate reaction and possibly different
pH for coupling can be achieved.
 Deleterious effect of diazonium salts on enzyme substrate reaction
can be avoided.
SELF COLORED SUBSTRATE
INTRAMOLECULAR REARRANGEMENT
METAL PRECIPITATION
• A type of Simultaneous Coupling but uses
Metallic lons instead of Diazonium salts.
USE OF CONTROLS
 Substrates, Diazonium salts and other components deteriorate with time
leading to false positives and false negative reactions.
 Therefore, Control sections should be carried together with test sections.
 Positive Controls: to demonstrate that all reagents are working
 Negative Controls: prepared by
 a) destroying the enzyme in the test section by immersing in boiling
water for 15 minutes
 b) by including a specific enzyme inhibitors
 c) By omitting the substrate from the incubation medium
APPLICATION OF ENZYME HISTOCHEMISTRY
 PATHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF MuSCULAR DISORDERS
 1. 5' Nucleotidase
 2. Adenosine Tri-Phosphatase
 3. Cytochrome oxidase
 4. Lactate adehydrogenase
 5. Choline Esterase
 6. Mono-amine-oxidase
 7. Phosphorylase
DIAGNOSIS OF HEMATO-LYMPHOID MALIGNANCIES
 1. Peroxidase
 2. Alkaline phosphatase
 3. Acid phoshphatase
 4. β-glucuronidase
 5. Non-specific esterase
 6. DOPA-Oxidase
 7. Chloroacetate-esterase
DETERMINATION OF ALKALINE PHOSPHATASES
 Optimal activity at 9-9.6 pH
 Activated by Mg, Mn and Co ions
 Cyanide and Cysteine inhibits ALP-ase activity- thus, incorporated
in incubation medium as a control
METHODS
1. Gomori’s Calcium Phosphate method (Metal Substitution)
2. Azo Dye Coupling methods – Simultaneous Coupling – Post
Coupling
AZO-DYE SIMULTANEOUS COUPLING METHOD USING SUBSTITUED
NAPHTHOL
 Incubation mixture:
 1. Tris Buffer pH 9.1
 2. Distilled Water
 3. Substrate Solution (Naphthol phosphoric acid)
 4. Fast Garnet GBC salt
Procedure:
 Fix sections in methanol or cold acetone in freezing temperature for 30 sec
 Rinse in Distilled water.
 Keep the section in the incubation mixture for 1-2 hrs at RT.
 Rinse in water.
 Counter stain with hematoxylin
 Mount in glycerine.
 RESULT
 Positive cells – granular dark brown
