Organogenesis in vitro 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Sugiyama M 《Current opinion in plant biology》1999,2(1):61-64
Organogenesis in vitro consists of many aspects such as phytohormone perception, dedifferentiation of differentiated cells to acquire organogenic competence, re-entry of quiescent cells into cell cycle, and organization of cell division to form specific organ primordia and meristems. Some of elementary processes and essential genes involved in this composite phenomenon are being identified largely through genetic analysis with various types of mutants including temperature-sensitive and activation-tagged ones. 相似文献

Cryogelation in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Cryogel is a physical gel formed by the heterophilic aggregation of extra domain A containing fibronectin (EDA(+)FN), plasma fibronectin (pFN), fibrinogen (Fbg) and heparin (Hep). Cryogelation is controlled by the interactions between each aggregate and the amount of aggregates. Therefore, the present study attempted to elucidate these properties by studying turbidity (tau). Although only Fbg formed a self-aggregate under low temperatures, from the temperature dependence of tau, the amount of aggregate in three-element (pFN/Fbg/Hep) solution surpassed that of the EDA(+)FN/Fbg/Hep system. The optimal condition for cryogelation was afforded by a solution with Fbg/EDA(+)FN/pFN/Hep expressed in the molar ratio of 12:0.04:0.79:1. This cryogel structure in solution was probably formed via structural changes induced by pFN in Fbg. The structural change in Fbg was examined by circular dichroism under optimal conditions. This concept was based on observations of the direct transmission scanning electron microscopy of a cryogel. The EDA(+)FN/pFN/Fbg/Hep aggregates displayed a network structure that manifested particulate crosslinkage. Cryogelation, a phenomenon related to induction of rheumatoid arthritis in humans, was facilitated by both the EDA(+)FN-Hep interaction and the structural changes of Fbg induced by pFN. 相似文献

The development of in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques in pigs as well as in other species is of great importance because of the possible applications of this technology in different research fields. Methods of IVF vary in different incubation periods and temperatures, in the hormone concentrations used, and in the treatment of the sperm samples. It has been particularly difficult to succeed in the achievement of fertilization in the pig. In the present study we used FSH and LH concentrations of 2 IU/ml for oocyte maturation, an incubation temperature of 37°C, and dilution of spermatozoa for capacitation, and we achieved a high fertilization rate (50 to 75%) with no cases of polyspermy. 相似文献

In vitro virus is a molecular construct for in vitro protein evolution, which requires some mechanism to link phenotype to genotype. The first in vitro virus was realized by bonding a nascent protein with its coding mRNA via puromycin in in vitro translation. We report a new construct of in vitro DNA virus. The virion was a covalent cDNA-protein fusion, and virion formation did not require any modification of mRNA. Due to intactness of mRNA, this type of in vitro DNA virus will take the next step toward in vitro autonomous evolution, just like in vivo viral evolution in a cellstat. 相似文献

In vitro fertilizing ability of stallion spermatozoa was assessed using horse follicular oocytes matured in vitro. After collection, stallion spermatozoa were either: 1) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 10 micrograms/ml heparin for 4h, 2) washed and incubated in TALP with 3 mg/ml BSA for 3 h and cultured for a further 1 h with 1 mM caffeine and 5 mM dbcAMP, 3) washed and incubated in TALP medium with 3 mg/ml BSA at pH 7.9-8.2 for 2-4 h, or 4) diluted and incubated in TALP medium with 10 mg/ml BSA and 7.14 microM calcium ionophore A 23187 for 5-10 min followed by washing. After a given pretreatment, suspensions were diluted into B2 medium to a concentration of 5 x 10(6) sperm/ml and co-incubated with oocytes for 12 h or 24-48 h. In the ionophore-treated group, 18 of 54 oocytes (33%) were fertilized by 12 h, and 11 of 45 (24%) cleaved by 24-48 h. Evidence of fertilization was not found in the oocytes incubated with spermatozoa from other treatment procedures. 相似文献

In several studies, early cleavage stage canine embryos have been derived from in vitro fertilized oocytes cultured under various conditions. Despite these results, IVF protocols for canine oocytes have yielded low fertilization rates. In this study, Experiment I compared the effects of tissue culture medium (TCM)-199 supplemented with either (A) 1 microg/ml estradiol or (B) 20 microg/ml estradiol + 1 microg/ml human somatotropin (hST) on the in vitro nuclear maturation rate of canine oocytes. Meiotic progression to the metaphase I and II (MI/MII) stages at 72 hr of in vitro culture (IVC) was 10.2% (11/108) in medium A versus 14.1% (30/142) in medium B (P = 0.802). In Experiment II, cleavage rate was determined among oocytes recovered from ovaries of bitches at different reproductive stages. Oocytes (n = 888) were retrieved from bitches at the follicular, anestrous, and luteal stages and selected for high morphological quality. Oocytes were matured for 48 hr in TCM-199 supplemented with 1 microg/ml hST + 20 microg/ml estradiol. Oocytes were in vitro fertilized with fresh canine spermatozoa that had been isolated on a Percoll gradient, and were cultured in synthetic oviduct fluid (SOF) medium with bovine serum albumin (BSA; 4 mg/ml) up to 5 days in 5% CO(2) in air at 37 degrees C. A proportion of oocytes (30.6%) with identifiable nuclear material had cytoplasm penetrated or fertilized by sperm. The percentage of oocytes developing into early stage embryos was 10.1% (27/267). Although pronuclear development was observed to be higher for oocytes recovered at the follicular phase, the cleavage rate was similar among oocytes recovered from bitches at the follicular, anestrus, and luteal stages. There was no correlation between the proportion of capacitated or acrosome reacted spermatozoa and pronuclei formation and/or percent cleavage. It was concluded that TCM-199 supplemented with 1 microg/ml hST and estradiol (20 microg/ml) supports nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation of canine oocytes. In this study, meiotic competence was verified by the in vitro production (IVP) and development of embryos up to the 8 cell-stage. Furthermore, the results indicate that, under the described conditions and despite the influence of reproductive status of the bitch on the developmental competence of in vitro fertilized oocytes to the pronuclei stage, cleavage was independent of donor's reproductive estrous cycle stage. 相似文献

The lantibiotic nisin is produced by Lactococcus lactis. In the biosynthesis of nisin, the enzyme NisB dehydrates nisin precursor, and the enzyme NisC is needed for lanthionine formation. In this study, the nisA gene encoding the nisin precursor, and the genes nisB and nisC of the lantibiotic modification machinery were expressed together in vitro by the Rapid Translation System (RTS). Analysis of the RTS mixture showed that fully modified nisin precursor was formed. By treating the mixture with trypsin, active nisin was obtained. However, no nisin could be detected in the mixture without zinc supplementation, explained by the fact that NisC requires zinc for its function. The results revealed that the modification of nisin precursor, which is supposed to occur at the inner side of the membrane by an enzyme complex consisting of NisB, NisC, and the transporter NisT, can take place without membrane association and without NisT. This in vitro production system for nisin opens up the possibility to produce nisin variants that cannot be producedin vivo. Moreover, the system is a promising tool for utilizing the NisB and NisC enzymes for incorporation of thioether rings into medical peptides and hormones for increased stability. 相似文献

A quantitative angiogenesis in vitro was investigated by culturing bovine carotid artery endothelial cells between two layers of type I collagen gel. Cells become organized into tube-like structures within few days. Ultrastructurally, tubular structures were composed of one to several endothelial cells containing pinocytotic vesicles and cytoplasmic projections, and linked by junctional complexes. A basal lamina-like structure surrounded the abluminal surface. Glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor I at pathophysiological high concentrations significantly stimulated tube-forming activity of endothelial cells by stimulating cell migration. 相似文献

The Mls locus was originally defined to have four alleles; three controlled products that were detectable in primary mixed leukocyte reactions (MLR), whereas one, b, was described as being null. Recently, other investigators postulated that the Mls locus is nonpolymorphic, being composed of the b null allele and of a singly expressed allele previously thought to be the a and d alleles. We previously reported that products controlled by Mls
aand Mls
dwere antigenically distinct and therefore are not controlled by the same allele, and the product of Mls
bon cells of three different strains was easily detectable by Mls
aand Mls
dresponding cells. Thus the b allele is not null. In the present report evidence is presented which indicates that both Mls

Echinoid phagocytes in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A method is described for obtaining pure monolayers of phagocytes from the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in vitro. The coelomic fluid contains four types of cells. About 67% of the cells are phagocytes, the rest is comprised of the red and white morula cells and the vibratile cells. The different cell types could be separated by centrifugation on a discontinuous gradient of sodium metrizoate. Release of granula from the vibratile cells was found to be responsible for rapid and extensive clotting of the coelomic fluid immediately after its removal from the animal. Clotting was prevented by adding a mixture of 50 mM mercaptoethanol, 3 mM caffeine and 2 mM TAME (p-tosyl-
-arginine methyl ester) to the coelomic fluid. The phagocytes were isolated from other cell types by their attachment to glass, and were grown at 10 °C in a simple peptone-sea water medium. The phagocytes are very motile cells and spread rapidly on glass, accompanied by a complete change of their morphology to flattened cells with peripheral ruffling. After few hours in vitro the cells fuse to form monolayer-syncytia, and later still cell clusters and free floating balls of cells are formed. During a culture period of 10 days there was no change in the DNA content per culture, while a small increase in protein was found. 相似文献
