MEASUREMENT OF MICROALGAL CELL VOLUME BY FLOW CYTOMETRY

Single cell analysis by flow cytometry is a powerful tool that has been employed to identify many different characteristics of phytoplankton populations. Cell volume is an important physiological component of many cellular processes. We have used a Coulter EPICS XL flow cytometer to measure cell volume in the spheroid dinoflagellate Amphidinium operculatum as a function of forward scatter. Cell volume measurements of this alga were quantified as equivalent spherical diameters from a standard curve obtained with latex beads of known diameter. This parameter was used to monitor cell diameter throughout the cell division cycle. In log phase cultures, A. operculatum showed increasing cell volumes throughout the light phase and a maximum cell volume concurrent with the onset of cell division late in the light phase. The maximum equivalent spherical diameter measured 14 μm, while the minimum equivalent spherical diameter was 10 μm that occurred late in the dark phase. Stationary phase cultures of A. operculatum did not exhibit oscillating cell volumes throughout the diel cycle. Chemical inhibition of the cell cycle using 100 μM olomoucine diminished cell volume changes during the light phase. These results suggest a coupling of size control to the cell division cycle.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF OCEANIC PHOTOSYNTHETIC PICOEUKARYOTES BY FLOW CYTOMETRY1

To interpret flow cytometric data that are routinely obtained on natural oceanic communities, 23 strains of photosynthetic picoeukaryotes belonging to four classes (Prasinophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Pelagophyceae, and Prymnesiophyceae) and six pigment types were investigated for their light scattering in the forward and right-angle directions, chlorophyll fluorescence, and DNA content as measured by flow cytometry. Cell she was assessed by Coulter counter, and pigment composition was measured by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The size and GC% of the nuclear genome of cultured picoeukaryotes was measured from the fluorescence of DNA-specific dyes. Using these two parameters, we could discriminate species within pigment groups. DNA staining of preserved natural samples may also prove useful in discriminating cooccurring populations in situ as long as the communities are not too complex. Using the relationships that we established between size and light-scattering properties of the cells, we estimated equivalent diameters of picoeukaryotes in natural populations to be between 1.3 and 2 μm. Chlorophyll a content was between 6 and 16 fg·cel^?1 as calculated from relationships that we established between chlorophyll a content and red fluorescence of the cultured strains. With respect to size, chlorophyll a content, and pigment composition, Pelagomonas sp. strains (Pelagophyceae) appeared to be the most representative of the natural communities in subtropical ocean waters. In contrast, green coccoid strains, which often outcompete other strains in culture, might only be minor contributors to these communities.

RAPID DETECTION of STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN FOOD BY FLOW CYTOMETRY

This report describes the detection of Staphylococcus aureus in buffer and in several kinds of food by flow cytometry. Fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated anti-protein A antibodies were used in a 4-h procedure to label cells, 10⁵-10⁶ cells/mL are needed. the use of single parameter, green fluorescence, enabled specific differentiation of S. aureus from other bacteria including 11 Staphylococcus species. the flow cytometric method can detect S. aureus in food samples after 48-h enrichment in trypticase soy broth with 10% NaCl. As low as 2 S. aureus cells present in 10 mL enrichment broth could grow to a population density detectable by the flow cytometric method after enrichment. This method was faster and less laborious than the conventional BAM (Bacteriological Analytical Manual) or AOAC (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) methods, and could be automated for analysis of S. aureus in food.

CHARACTERIZATION OF TAURINE UPTAKE BY NEURONAL AND GLIAL CELLS IN CULTURE

Uptake of [³⁵S]taurine was studied in parallel on glial and neuronal cells maintained in continuous culture, including transformed neuronal cells. Both glial and neuronal taurine uptake systems were concentrative, highly sodium-dependent and inhibited by closely related structural analogues such as hypotaurine, β-alanine and GABA. Strychnine was found to be a potent inhibitor of taurine uptake, especially in the glial cells, while parachloromercuriphenylsulphonate was more efficient on the neuronal clones. In contrast with uptake by neuroblastoma cells, the glial transport was dependent on the presence of calcium in the incubation medium.     

流式细胞光度术DNA分析在非何杰金氏淋巴瘤预后中的意义

用流式细胞光度术对一组非何杰金氏淋巴瘤(NHL)存档石蜡标本进行DNA分析。DNA异倍体肿瘤占总例数的47.4％,高、中度恶性组异倍体肿瘤的比例(76.8％和51.9％)分别高于低度恶性组(17.6％)(P<0.05)。S期细胞比例(synthetic phase fraction,SPF)随组织学恶性程度升高而增大,低、中和高度恶性淋巴瘤平均SPF值分别是6.5(0.6—18.8)％,13.5(3.2—37.3)％和23.4(4.4—41.4)％。二倍体和异倍体肿瘤患者的生存率无差别。全部病例中高SPF值肿瘤患者具有生存短的趋向(P=0.1)。低度恶性组内也存在此种趋向(P=0.08)。上述结果表明流式细胞光度术DNA分析对估价非何杰金氏淋巴瘤生物学行为是一种不依赖形态学的有用方法。     

VK_3诱导悬浮培养的胡萝卜细胞凋亡

VK_3是一种醌类物质,在体内通过氧化还原产生超氧化自由基。我们的实验发现,VK_3对悬浮培养的胡萝卜细胞及原生质体有致死作用。这种作用是浓度依赖性的。100—800μmol/L的VK_3能引起10%—33%的细胞死亡。当VK_3浓度达到1mmol/L时,死亡率达到100%。DNA电泳分析发现,600和800μmol/L的VK_3处理过的细胞和原生质体产生大小为180bp整数倍的梯状条带。而在更高或更低浓度的处理中则没有观察到这种条带。用TUNEL方法检测,在400—800μmol/L浓度的处理中观察到细胞核DNA的断裂。而在更高或更低浓度的处理中则没有观察到这种断裂。由此我们推测,适当浓度的VK_3能诱导胡萝卜细胞及原生质体凋亡。     

DIFFERENTIATION OF NEUROBLASTOMA CELLS IN CULTURE

1. An elevation of the intracellular level of cyclic AMP in neuroblastoma cells by prostaglandin E₁ by an inhibitor of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, or by analogues of cyclic AMP irreversibly induces many differentiated functions which are characteristic of mature neurones. These include formation of long neurites, increase in size of soma and nucleus associated with a rise in total RNA and protein contents, increase in activities of specific neural enzymes, loss of malignancy, increase in sensitivity of adenylate cyclase to catecholamines and blockade of cells in G₁-stage of the cell cycle. 2. Other agents, including serum-free medium, X-irradiation, 6-thioguanine, cytosine arabinoside, methotrexate, 5-bromodeoxyuridine, nerve growth factor, glial extract and hypertonic medium can induce some of the differentiated functions which are induced by high intracellular cyclic AMP. 3. Morphological differentiation and differentiated biochemical functions can each be expressed in the absence of the other. 4. Many of the responses of normal embryonic nerve cells to cyclic AMP are similar to those of neuroblastoma cells. 5. A working hypothesis for the malignancy of nerve cells has been proposed. This states that an abnormal regulation of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity which allows the expression of high amounts of this enzyme in neuroblastoma cells, may be one of the early lesions during a malignant transformation of nerve cells. 6. A new experimental therapeutic model for the treatment of neuroblastoma is proposed. This involves the administration of sodium butyrate followed by the injection of l -dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-dopa) and prostaglandin E₁ in the presence of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor. 7. Recent studies have elucidated the control mechanisms of some differentiated functions in neuroblastoma cells. Cyclic AMP may become an important biological tool to probe the regulation and expression of many other differentiated functions in these cells. In addition to neuroblastoma cells, other neuronal culture systems are now available for investigating the problems of differentiation and maturation in nerve cells.

CELL-PRODUCTION RATES ESTIMATED BY THE USE OF VINCRISTINE SULPHATE AND FLOW CYTOMETRY

A new method for the evaluation of cell production rates combining flow cytometry (FCM) and the stathmokinetic method using vineristine sulphate (VS) has been used for the analysis of three aneuploid ascites tumours at different stages of growth. Using this technique it was possible to estimate the well-known decrease in cell production rates of ageing ascites tumours. The percentage of normal host cells in the aneuploid tumours studied was easily determined by FCM prior to the calculation of the tumour cell-production rates. A correlation was found between the percentage of tumour cells in the S phase and the tumour cell-production rate. This correlation is probably explained by the gradual transfer of proliferating cells in S phase to resting G₁ and G₂ phases with increasing tumour age.

ATPase ACTIVITY OF NEUROBLASTOMA CELLS IN CULTURE

—Neuroblastoma cells were cultured in the presence of fetal serum. When serum was omitted from the growth medium and also when dibutyryl cyclic AMP or insulin were added without omitting serum, there was a growth of neuron-like processes which was in most cases accompanied by an increase in Na⁺-K⁺ -ATPase activity, whereas Mg²⁺-ATPase activity increased to a lesser extent. The increase in ATPase activities was related to cell density. When the ATPase activities were measured in the presence of 0·25 m -sucrose or 1% deoxycholate the specific activities were decreased. There was no loss of activity during storage at –20°C for several days when 20% glycerol was added to the medium.
