滤泡旁细胞(parafollicular cell)又称C细胞,存在于人类及大部分脊椎动物甲状腺中的一种细胞,胚胎学上源自于外胚层衍生之神经嵴,为分泌降钙素神经内分泌细胞[1]。滤泡旁细胞通常驻留于滤泡滤泡上皮细胞的结缔组织间,因而得名。

正常甲状腺切片中滤泡旁细胞通常不明显,但在某些发炎状况下会因增生而在苏伊染色HE染色)下可见[2]。滤泡旁细胞在切片下可见时,通常比滤泡细胞大,细胞质较多,看起来有苍白的色斑,周围有胶状物围绕。

滤泡旁细胞在苏伊染色切片中细胞质(胞质)稍淡;用镀银法银染法)可见基底部胞质内有嗜银颗粒,颗粒内有降钙素;在电子显微镜下,位于滤泡上皮细胞之间的滤泡旁细胞基部附著于基板,而其顶部被邻近的滤泡上皮细胞覆盖。研究表明,哺乳类的滤泡旁细胞内有生长抑素去甲基肾上腺素(旧称正肾上腺素)、P物质血管活性肠肽VIP,Vasoactive intestinal peptide)等物质。

滤泡旁细胞发生癌变可导致甲状腺髓质癌Medullary thyroid cancer, MTC

滤泡旁细胞的形态、大小、数量和分布随动物种属而有差别:人、猴、鼠等的滤泡旁细胞呈卵形,以小的细胞群体分布于滤泡间;猫、狗等的滤泡旁细胞则呈圆形或卵形,并在滤泡之间积聚成大的细胞团

注释

1.人类滤泡旁细胞多分布于甲状旁腺周围的“甲状腺内”,而在鼠类则多分布于“甲状腺中央部”。

2.降钙素:一种多肽类物质,通过促进成骨细胞分泌类骨质、抑制骨质钙的溶解、促进钙盐沉著,并抑制胃肠道和肾小管吸收钙离子,降低血钙

3.嗜银颗粒:滤泡旁细胞质内有直径200nm的分泌颗粒,细胞以胞吐方式释放颗粒内的降钙素。

4.钙盐沉著:骨盐沉著于类骨质。
