The interaction between chick embryo fibroblasts and A1-specific blood group Dolichos biflorus lectin has been studied at various stages of embryo development. The site number ((0.26 plus or minus 0.03)-10-6 sites/cell) remains the same during development whereas the affinity constant apparently decreases from 8-day cells onwards. The effects of cell number, temperature and time course on the Dolichos binding to fibroblasts were not age dependent. Competitive binding experiments revealed that Dolichos receptor sites were distinct from binding sites fo Robina pseudoacacia lectin and concanavalin A, but partially related to binding sites of Ricinus lectin. Thymidine incorporation by fibroblasts in the presence of Dolichos lectin was age dependent. It was inhibited in 6-day cells and weakly stimulated in 16-day cells, but not modified in 12-day cells. Dolichos lectin effects on embryo fibroblasts were very specific because both binding to cells and effect on thymidine incorporation were blocked by N-acetylgalactosamine, the determinant of Dolichos lectin, as well as by Dolichos antiserum.  相似文献

We have studied cell surface antigen expression of teratocarcinoma cells at various stages of differentiation. These cells can be maintained in the undifferentiated state or will differentiate in vitro in a manner which parallels the early development of the mouse embryo. Three antigens were studied: a stem cell antigen (C); the major histocompatibility alloantigens (H-2); and the alloantigen Thy-1.The stem cell antigen was recognized by an anti-serum raised against a pluripotent teratocarcinoma cell line. This antiserum was shown to label embryonal carcinoma cells and early mouse embryo cells. The activity of the antiserum against embryonal carcinoma cells could be adsorbed with brain, kidney, and sperm from adult mice.The phenotype of the undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells is C+, H-2, Thy-1 or C, H-2, Thy-1. The first stage in the process of differentiation is the formation of simple embryoid bodies with a layer of endodermal cells surrounding an inner core of embryonal carcinoma cells. The endodermal cells are C, H-2, Thy-1. Further differentiation of the embryoid bodies attached to a substratum is associated with the appearance of H-2+ and Thy-1+ cells in the cultures.  相似文献

The most adequate method for carrying out radioautographic investigation on proliferation in the chorioallantoic tissues and in the chick embryo proper is dropping 3H-thymidine on the membrane under the shell in the area where the chorioallantois grows under. Using the application method, the radioautographic analysis of proliferation could be performed by the saturation method.  相似文献

Two peculiarities of cell population kinetics are characteristic of the provisional tissues of the chick embryo chorioallantois. The one is that the proliferative pool is relatively small at relatively early stages of embryogenesis (8 day incubation). The other is that at the final stages of embryogenesis, when proliferative activity in the embryo cell populations is still high, the cell reproduction is practically stopped. The process of tissue differentiation in chorioallantois, on the one hand, is accompanied with a withdrawal of a considerable part of cells from the cycle of reproduction, but on the other hand this differentiation affects the cells that have remained in the proliferative compartment which is reflected in modifications of either the cell cycle structure or the cell population composition.  相似文献

d-glucose, but not l-glucose, was found to readily enter the cells of 5- to 6-day chick embryo heart. This suggests the operation of a specific transport system for glucose. The rate of glucose uptake was found to decrease as development proceeds from 5 to 15 days of development, but no further decrease was found between 15 and 20 days. Uptake of glucose is a saturable process, from 5–6 days of embryonic life on. The large decrease in glucose uptake between 5 and 10 days of development is found to be associated with a fourfold increase in the apparent Km of the uptake process. From 10 days of development onward, the apparent Km remains about 40 mM. The rate of 2-deoxyglucose uptake also decreased from 5 to 15 days of embryonic life with no further decrease from 15 to 20 days. Glucose competitively inhibits the uptake of 2-deoxyglucose with a Ki close to the Km for glucose uptake. The uptake of 2-deoxyglucose is stimulated by physiological levels of insulin as early as 5–6 days, although the extent to which insulin enhances uptake is not quite as great as at 15 days of development.  相似文献

Sorbitol enters chick embryo heart cells from five days of development on. The rate of sorbitol entry becomes slower as development proceeds and the data suggest this is principally due to an increase in the apparent Km of transport, the Vmax remaining relatively constant. The uptake of sorbitol displays saturation kinetics and is believed on this ground to be carrier-mediated. Sorbitol does not appear to be actively transported since it is not concentrated against a gradient and its uptake is not inhibited by iodoacetate or 2, 4-dinitrophenol. Sorbitol does not appear to be taken up via the glucose transport system since uptake is not stimulated by insulin or inhibited by glucose or phloretin.  相似文献

In order to study mammalian neural crest differentiation in vitro, a series of clonal neural crest (NC) cell lines have been generated by infection of migrating mouse neural crest cells with two recombinant retroviruses containing either the c-myc or N-myc proto-oncogenes. Many cell lines were generated which could be subdivided into three groups based on their appearance in culture. Eleven of these cell lines representative of each of the morphological groups were characterized for the expression of six antigenic markers expressed by neural cells. In addition, mRNA was prepared from these cell lines and analyzed for the expression of a number of neural specific genes. These analyses show that the cell lines are representative of the following cell types: (1) neural crest-like cell lines that do not differentiate in 10% serum; (2) progenitor cell lines, some of which can partially differentiate in culture; and (3) mature neuronal cell lines or bipotential cell lines. Southern blot analysis of DNA from these lines indicated that they have multiple integration sites for the provirus and suggest that phenotypically different cell types have arisen from a single cell. None of the cell lines showed any proliferative or morphological response to nerve growth factor (NGF), whereas over two-thirds of the lines showed both marked proliferative and morphological responses to fibroblast growth factor (FGF). These data indicate that we have generated a range of cell lines representative of a spectrum of mouse neural crest derivatives.  相似文献

We synthesized the N-terminal hexapeptide fragment of IGF II to study potential binding to NMDA receptors in analogy to the N-terminal tripeptide of IGF I. The amino acid sequence of the hexapeptide is furthermore identical with the C-terminal sequence of the casiragua insulin B chain. The hexapeptide did not bind to the NMDA receptors, but was found to promote [3H]-thymidine incorporation into fibroblasts at concentrations of 10(-8) - 10(-5) M in a dose-dependent manner. Since [125I]-hexapeptide did not bind to IGF receptors, indirect competition studies using either labelled IGFs or insulin had to be used. The competition of hexapeptide at a concentration of 10(-5) M with labelled IGF I or II was about equal to that of 10(-9) M IGF I or II. IGF receptors were apparently up-regulated by the hexapeptide, as has also been described for insulin. When using casiragua insulin as labelled ligand, IGF II and casiragua insulin competed with equal potency, whereas the hexapeptide at 10(-7) M caused an apparent up-regulation of the casiragua insulin binding sites. Our results that the hexapeptide stimulates [3H]-thymidine incorporation and up-regulates IGF II and casiragua insulin binding sites may be connected to one or several of the following findings: the hystricomorph insulins--of which the casiragua insulin is a member--stimulate DNA synthesis to a greater extent than other insulins; the insulin and type 1 IGF receptor binding regions are localized predominantly in the C-terminal region of the insulin B chain; and the "cooperative" site regulating the affinity of the insulin receptor is also located in the C-terminal region of the insulin B chain. Further experiments will be needed to clarify the exact mechanism.  相似文献

Knowledge of chemical structure of glycoconjugates (GCs) at precise loci has increased through histochemical use of a battery of horseradish peroxidase-conjugated lectins, each possessing affinity for a specific terminal sugar or internal sugar linkage. Lectin histochemistry has shown tremendous variability among GCs in different histologic sites, reflecting known chemical diversity of these substances. GCs differ in structure among various cell types in an animal and differ at a given histologic site between species or between individuals in outbred but not inbred species. Lectin conjugates react with and detect GCs not otherwise demonstrable histochemically and, because of low concentration in tissue, not identified biochemically. Lectin-HRP conjugates have visualized unique GC with terminal GalNAc in primordial germ cells of rat embryos, with terminal Gal in epithelial basal cells of rodents and nodes of Ranvier in rats and with terminal GalNAc in a cell population in the thymus, Peyer's patches and intestinal lamina propria of some but not other mice.  相似文献

Human and gorilla dermal fibroblasts, primate cells, suspended in a collagen lattice, do not divide for the first 3 days. In contrast, rat fibroblasts divide within 24 hr. In this study, the proliferation of rat fibroblasts were compared to primate fibroblasts. Rat fibroblasts in monolayer culture increase from 100,000 to 355,000 in 2 days, and human cells increase from 100,000 to 436,000 in the same period. An initial seeding of 100,000 rat fibroblasts suspended in collagen increased to 163,000 cells in 2 days. An initial 100,000 human fibroblasts seeded in collagen decreased to 80,000 cells in 2 days. Retarded proliferation of human and gorilla fibroblasts in collagen is unrelated to a defect in DNA synthesis. By autoradiography human fibroblasts suspended in collagen incorporate labelled thymidine. By flow cytometry analysis, the DNA concentrations of human fibroblasts suspended in collagen exhibited 41% in a 4N chromosome state, compared to 14% in monolayer culture. Nuclei of gorilla fibroblasts from collagen displayed 42% in a 4N state, compared to 19% in monolayer culture. With nuclei of rat fibroblasts from collagen, 14% were in a 4N state, compared to 9% in monolayer culture. Primate fibroblasts show a three-fold increase in the number of nuclei in a 4N state compared to rat fibroblasts suspended in collagen. After replating fibroblasts released from collagen in monolayer culture in the presence of 1 mM hydroxyurea (an inhibitor of DNA synthesis) primate fibroblasts doubled in 24 hr. Under identical conditions, rat fibroblasts showed no cell division.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Evaluation was made of a novel technique, combining semi-continuous culture on membrane filters and assessment of the incorporation of titrated thymidine. The optimal temperature of incubation is 20--25 degrees, the period of incubation--3 hours; the initial activity of tritiated thymidine--0.5 muC/ml. There is a linear relation between the initial number of bacteria on a filter and the level of 3H-thymidine incorporation. The incorporation is dependent on nutrient content in the examined water.  相似文献

A study of cell proliferation in different regions of axolotl embryos has shown a rather uniform distribution of the S phase and mitotic indices in the animal half of the early and midgastrulae. The dorsal blastoporal lip is characterized by a very low S phase index as compared with the other regions of the embryo.  相似文献

Although similar fractions of cells were in the S phase of the cell cycle, normal human skin fibroblasts were shown to incorporate more than twice the 3HTdR into their DNA in vitro than did cells obtained from individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). Obligate heterozygotes incorporated an intermediate amount of the DNA precursor. Studied were initiated to determine the basis of the differential incorporation of 3HTdR among the genotypes. An analog of thymidine, BUdR, produced varied effects on the growth kinetics of the three genotypes. The growth of cells in BUdR resulted in a 50% increase in the population doubling times of all three genotypes, and caused the cell morphology to change from a spindle shape to one in which the cells became broadened and flat, with numerous cytoplasmic projections extending for distances of several cell diameters. The activities of thymidine kinase and the participation of the exogenous and de novo pathways in the synthesis of TMP were found to be approximately the same in all three genotypes. The data suggest that an alteration in the transport of thymidine into the cells may account for the differences in TdR incorporation into DNA, and this may be associated with other changes in cystic fibrosis that are apparently membrane associated.  相似文献

Synthesis and secretion of avidin was studied in cultured chicken embryo fibroblasts infected with transforming retroviruses (Rous sarcoma virus, its mutants temperature-sensitive for transformation, OK-10 virus) or a nontransforming retrovirus (RAV-1). Avidin was detectable in both transformed and untransformed cultures, and was identical to chicken egg white avidin by several criteria: biotin-binding, heat-induced biotin exchange, subunit size (mol. wt. 15 600), immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled proteins and immunoblotting. Transformation increased the production of avidin up to 50-fold, but several experiments suggested that the induction was not a direct consequence of virus-induced cell transformation. The production of avidin seemed to relate to cellular damage both in cultures of virus-transformed and of normal fibroblasts. It may represent a response to cellular damage and viral transformation may activate the process.  相似文献
