The developmental potential of primitive ectoderm cells lacking paternal chromosomes was investigated by examining the distribution of parthenogenetic cells in chimeras. Using GPI-1 allozymes as marker, parthenogenetic cells were detected in most organs and tissues in adult chimeras. However, these cells were under severe selective pressure compared with cells from normal fertilized embryos. In the majority of chimeras, parthenogenetic cells in individual animals were observed in a limited number of tissues and organs and, even in these instances, their contribution was substantially reduced. Nevertheless, parthenogenetic cells were detected more consistently in some organs, especially the brain, heart, kidney and spleen. In contrast, there was apparently a systematic selection against parthenogenetic cells in some tissues, most notably in skeletal muscle, liver and pancreas. These results suggest that paternally derived genes are probably required not only for the development of extraembryonic structures but also for subsequent development of embryonic tissues derived from the primitive ectoderm lineage. 相似文献

Parthenogenetic cells are lost from fetal chimeras. This may be due to decreased proliferative potential. To address this question, we have made use of combined cell lineage and cell proliferation analysis. Thus, the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine in S-phase was determined for both parthenogenetic and normal cells in several tissues of fetal day 13 and 17 chimeras. A pronounced reduction of bromodesoxyuridine incorporation by parthenogenetic cells at both developmental stages was only observed in cartilage. In brain, skeletal muscle, heart and intestinal epithelium, this reduction was either less pronounced or observed only at one of the developmental stages analysed. No difference between parthenogenetic and normal cells was observed in epidermis and ganglia. Our results show that a loss of proliferative potential of parthenogenetic cells during fetal development contributes to their rapid elimination in some tissues. The analysis of the fate of parthenogenetic cells in skeletal muscle and cartilage development demonstrated different selection mechanisms in these tissues. In skeletal muscle, parthenogenetic cells were largely excluded from the myogenic lineage proper by early post-midgestation. In primary hyaline cartilage, parthenogenetic cells persisted into adulthood but were lost from cartilages that undergo ossification during late fetal development. 相似文献

Chimeras were made from parthenogenetic and fertilized cleavage-stage mouse embryos. The perinatal mortality was high. The parthenogenetic contributions to different tissues at birth ranged from 0 to 50%. No selection of parthenogenetic cells was observed in the pigmentation of the coat, but this does not exclude that such selection could act in other tissues. The weight of chimeras at birth negatively correlated to the average contribution of the parthenogenetic part. The growth rate of chimeras was lower than that of nonchimeric animals. The data presented demonstrated that, although parthenogenetic cells are not cell lethals and they can participate to some degree in normal development of most tissues, their extensive presence reduces the viability of chimeras and retards the postnatal development. 相似文献

Studies were made on the contribution of haploid-derived parthenogenetic cells to haploid parthenogenetic ? fertilized chimeric embryos on day 9 and 10 of pregnancy. In most cases, the contribution of haploid-derived parthenogenetic cells to embryonic tissues was higher than that to extraembryonic tissues. The contribution of haploid-derived cells to embryonic tissues of some chimeras was more than 90%. Chromosomal analysis showed that actively dividing cells in most chimeric embryos contained about 40 chromosomes, indicating that they were diploidized, as haploid parthenogenetic blastocysts have about 20 chromosomes. Results suggested that haploid-derived parthehogenetic cells in chimeric embryos diploidized spontaneously after the blastocyst stage. These cells were capable of differentiating into most cell types of embryonic tissues, but scarcely differentiated into extraembryonic tissues of day 9 embryos. The fate of haploid-derived parthenogenetic cells during postimplantational development was similar to that of diploid parthenogenetic cells that had been diploidized experimentally in the one-cell stage. 相似文献

The developmental capability of haploid parthenogenetic cells was investigated by studies on haploid parthenogenetic in equilibrium fertilized mouse chimeras. Two chimeras were born. One female chimera was smaller at birth and grew slower than its littermates. The distribution of haploid-derived cells in the chimeras was analyzed 11 months after their birth. Cells derived from haploid embryos were found only in the brain, eyes, pigment cells in hair follicles, and spleen, in which they constituted 30%, 20%, 10%, and less than 5%, respectively, of the cells. The correlation between the parthenogenetic contribution to the brain and growth retardation is discussed. All of the cells examined in these chimeric organs (brain and eyes) contained a diploid amount of DNA, suggesting that diploidization of the haploid parthenogenetic cells occurred during development. Possibly, the haploid state is not sufficient for cell growth, even in chimeras with fertilized embryos. 相似文献

Even though pure parthenogenetic mouse embryos die shortly after implantation, their cells are capable of participating in normal development of chimaeras when aggregated with fertilized embryos. Here we present data on parthenogenetic contribution to the oocyte populations measured by progeny tests in female chimaeras, and on distribution of parthenogenetic cells among the different organs by GPI typing. Systematic uneven distribution was detected. The highest level of participation was registered in the tissues of permanent cells (e.g. up to 63% in female germline). On the other hand, parthenogenetic cells were absent in several tissues that have extensive capacity for postnatal growth or selfrenewal. This finding suggests that uneven selective processes operate against parthenogenetic cells within certain differentiation pathways during fetal and postnatal life, as has already been observed in the development of extraembryonal membranes. It is likely that more than one mechanism is responsible for these selections. Parthenogenetic cells may start to differentiate in all cell lineages, but they are not able to react normally at certain points in the developmental pathway, for example to induction signals and, therefore, the cells fail to complete the normal processes of development, or to the proliferation requirement so that the fertilized counterpart gradually takes over the cell lineage. Paternally derived gene(s) might have a unique role in the development of tissues lacking parthenogenetic contribution. 相似文献

The developmental potential of embryonic stem (ES) cells versus 3.5 day inner cell mass (ICM) was compared after aggregation with normal diploid embryos and with developmentally compromised tetraploid embryos. ES cells were capable of colonizing somatic tissues in diploid aggregation chimeras but less efficiently than ICMs of the same genotype. When ICM in equilibrium with tetraploid and ES in equilibrium with tetraploid chimeras were made, the newborns were almost all completely ICM- or ES-derived, as judged by GPI isozyme analysis, but tetraploid cells were found in the yolk sac endoderm and trophectoderm lineage. Investigation of ES contribution in 13.5 day ES in equilibrium with tetraploid chimeras by DNA in situ hybridization confirmed the complete tetraploid origin of the placenta (except the fetal blood and blood vessels) and the yolk sac endoderm. However, the yolk sac mesoderm, amnion and fetus contained only ES-derived cells. ES-derived newborns failed to survive after birth, although they had normal birthweight and anatomically they appeared normal. This phenomenon remains unexplained at the moment. The present results prove that ES cells are able to support complete fetal development, resulting in ES-derived newborns, and suggest a useful route for studying the development of genetically manipulated ES cells in all fetal lineages. 相似文献

Androgenetic mouse embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and cause skeletal defects in chimeras: implications for genetic imprinting 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The inviability of diploid androgenetic and parthenogenetic embryos suggests imprinting of paternal and maternal genes during germ cell development, and differential expression of loci depending on parental inheritance appears to be involved. To facilitate identification of imprinted genes, we have derived diploid androgenetic embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. In contrast to normal ES cells, they form tumors composed almost entirely of striated muscle when injected subcutaneously into adult mice. They also form chimeras following blastocyst injection, although many chimeras die at early postnatal stages. Surviving chimeras develop skeletal abnormalities, particularly in the rib cartilage. These results demonstrate that androgenetic ES cells are pluripotent and point to stage- and cell-specific expression of developmentally important imprinted genes. 相似文献

Influence of chromosomal determinants on development of androgenetic and parthenogenetic cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have examined the role of germline-specific chromosomal determinants of development in the mouse. Studies were carried out using aggregation chimaeras between androgenetic----fertilized embryos and compared with similar parthenogenetic----fertilized chimaeras. Several adult chimaeras were found with parthenogenetic cells but none were found with androgenetic cells. Analysis of chimaeras at mid-gestation showed that parthenogenetic cells were detected in the embryo and yolk sac but that androgenetic cells were found only in the trophoblast and yolk sac and not in the embryo. The contribution of parthenogenetic cells to the embryo and yolk sac was increased by aggregating 2-cell parthenogenetic and 4-cell fertilized embryos but the contribution of parthenogenetic cells in extraembryonic tissues remained negligible even after aggregation of 4-cell parthenogenetic and 2-cell fertilized embryos. Furthermore, parthenogenetic cells were primarily found in the yolk sac mesoderm and not in the yolk sac endoderm. These results suggest that maternal chromosomes in parthenogenetic cells permit their participation in the primitive ectoderm lineage but these cells are presumably eliminated by selective pressure or autonomous cell lethality from the primitive endoderm and trophectoderm lineages. Conversely paternal chromosomes in androgenetic cells confer opposite properties since the embryonic cells can be detected in the trophoblast and the yolk sac but not in the embryos, presumably because they are eliminated from the primitive ectoderm lineage. The spatial distribution of cells with different parental chromosomes may occur partly because of differential expression of some genes, such as proto-oncogenes, and partly due to their ability to respond to a variety of diffusible growth factors. 相似文献

The development potential of parthenogenetically derived cells in chimeric mouse embryos: implications for action of imprinted genes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Parthenogenetic embryos of mice die shortly after implantation and characteristically contain poorly developed extraembryonic tissue. To investigate the basis of the abnormal development of parthenotes, we combined them with normal embryos to produce chimeras and examined the distribution of the parthenogenetically derived cells during preimplantation and early postimplantation development. The parthenogenetic embryos were derived from a transgenic mouse line bearing a large insert, which allowed these cells to be identified in histological sections using in situ hybridization. At the blastocyst stage, the parthenogenetic embryos contributed cells to the trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM) of chimeras. By 6.5 days, however, in almost every embryo, parthenogenetically derived cells were not detected in the extraembryonic trophoblast tissue descended from the TE. In contrast, parthenogenetically derived cells could contribute to all descendants of the ICM of 6.5-and 7.5-day chimeras, including the extraembryonic visceral and parietal endoderm. Quantitative analysis of the degree of chimerism in the embryonic ectoderm at 6.5-7.5 days indicated that parthenogenetically derived cells could contribute as extensively as normal cells. These results indicate that normal trophoblast development requires gene expression from the paternally inherited genome before 6.5 days of embryogenesis. Tissues of the ICM lineage, however, apparently can develop independently of the paternal genome at least to 7.5 days of embryogenesis. Comparison of these results with those of others suggests that the influence of imprinted genes is manifested at different times and in a variety of tissues during development. 相似文献

We studied the distribution of parthenogenetic cell clones in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid of eyes on serial sections and in the brain, kidneys, and liver by electrophoretic analysis of glucose phosphate isomerase isozymes in 12 mouse chimeras C57BL/6(PG)<-->BALB/c obtained earlier. Asymmetry was noted in the distribution of the parthenogenetic cell clones in the eye structure, just as the earlier established asymmetry in the distribution of the parthenogenetic clones of epidermal melanoblasts. A high correlation was shown between the ratio of parthenogenetic to normal cells in the retinal pigment epithelium of the right or left eyes and epidermal melanoblasts in the hair cover of the corresponding body half of the chimera. These data suggest that there is a certain relationship between the processes leading to the characteristic distribution of the ectodermal parthenogenetic clones in the retinal pigment epithelium of the right and left eyes and epidermal melanoblasts in parthenogenetic chimeras. Electrophoretic analysis did not show parthenogenetic components in the liver or kidneys of any chimera, and the parthenogenetic component was found in the brain of only two chimeras, in which a high percentage of parthenogenetic cells of ectodermal origin was noted. In these cases, asymmetry was noted in the right and left cerebral hemispheres, just as in the retinal pigment epithelium of the right and left eyes. The data obtained suggest that, during the development of the chimeras, parthenogenetic C57BL/6 cells were actively eliminated from the tissues of endodermal and mesodermal origin. In adult chimeras C57BL/6(PG)<-->BALB/c, parthenogenetic cell clones of ectodermal origin are mostly preserved. 相似文献

Clonal analysis of parthenogenetic chimeric mouse embryos C57B1/6(PG)<-->BALB/c has shown that parthenogenetic cell clones C57BL/6 are present in the brain, liver, and kidneys of 14- and 18-day-old embryos. The content of the parthenogenetic component (PG) in these organs on day 18 was lower than on day 14, and, in some 18-day-old embryos, parthenogenetic cell clones were absent from the liver and/or kidneys. These data suggest that, during the embryogenesis of parthenogenetic chimeras, parthenogenetic cell clones of mostly endodermal and mesodermal origins were actively eliminated. Therefore, in such parthenogenetic adult chimeras, parthenogenetic clones of mostly ectodermal origins were preserved. In parthenogenetic chimeras CBA(PG)<-->BALB/c, parthenogenetic cell clones were actively eliminated at early embryonic stages, and, as a result, they were absent at the post-implantation stages. Hence, during development of parthenogenetic cell clones, the effects of genomic imprinting are expressed unequally in C57BL/6 and CBA mice. 相似文献

Parthenogenetically activated BCF1 and fertilized BALB/c embryos were aggregated to form chimaeras. The fate of the parthenogenetic component was followed in the conceptus during the second half of gestation. The results indicate an early strong selection against parthenogenetic cells in the extra-embryonal part, which is presumably complete by term, and a weaker selective process in the embryo. During early development, parthenogenetic cells have nearly normal developmental potency in the embryo, which allows their balanced contribution in the chimaeras on day 12. Later, this contribution declines significantly resulting in an unbalanced relation to the advantage of the fertilized counterpart. From the results, we suggest that gametic imprinting may play a role not only in the key steps of preimplantation and early postimplantation development, but later in cell and tissue differentiation. 相似文献

Mouse trisomy 15 ? 2n aggregation chimeras have been produced and analyzed at 19 days of gestation. We have found that these chimeras are viable and in most instances normal in external appearance, unlike trisomy (Ts)-15 embryos which are severely growthretarded and die midway through gestation. Trisomic cells were found in all tissues of fetal chimeras, with proportions not significantly different from those of the controls in kidney, heart, liver, and brain, but significantly reduced in thymus and spleen. Ts-15 cells do not, therefore, exhibit a proliferative advantage during fetal development of tissues susceptible to Ts-15-related lymphoid malignancies. However, the presence of Ts-15 cells in the placenta may be associated with placental overgrowth. One fetus containing a monosomy 3 cell population was also observed, the first term fetal chimera with monosomic cells that has been detected. 相似文献

Parthenogenetic embryos, which are produced by the spontaneous or artificial stimulation of the oocyte, partially develop in the complete absence of the male gamete but fail to produce live young in many mammalian species. The identification of developmentally regulated molecules on the cell surface of embryos has implicated their possible role in cell interactions during embryogenesis and differentiation. In this study the expression patterns of four stage-specific cell surface antigenic determinants (TEC-1, -2, -3, and -4) were investigated in both parthenogenetic and in vitro fertilized bovine embryos. When compared to embryos produced using in vitro fertilization methods the parthenogenotes, although appearing morphologically normal, differed markedly in their TEC epitope pattern of presentation. TEC-1, -2, -3, and -4 epitope presentation on in vitro fertilized embryos occurred during specific stages of preimplantation development. TEC-1 and -2 presentation was detected on oocytes and blastocysts only, TEC-3 on morulae and blastocysts, and TEC-4 on oocytes through to 8-cell embryos, with all subsequent stages negative. Parthenogenetic embryos did not show TEC-1, -2, or -3 epitope presentation whereas the TEC-4 epitope was present throughout the developmental period examined. Enzymatic cleavage of sialic acid residues on in vitro fertilized and parthenogenetic embryos resulted in presentation of the TEC epitopes during all the embryonic stages. Western blot analysis of the embryos showed the TEC epitopes to be present on all the embryonic stages examined. This study suggests the mechanisms responsible for control and presentation of each of the TEC epitopes may not be functioning the same in parthenogenetic embryos that undergo changed glycosylation or deglycosylation resulting in altered patterns of sialylation. The study also shows TEC epitope presentation may prove to be a useful indicator of parthenogenetically activated bovine embryos. J. Exp. Zool. 284:392-400, 1999. 相似文献

The developmental potential of parthenogenetic cells derived from different mouse strains was investigated by examining their distribution in various tissues of adult aggregation chimeras. Using GPI-1 allozymes as marker, no striking differences were observed between chimeras whose parthenogenetic cells were derived from activated oocytes isolated from females of different genetic backgrounds, (C57BL/6 x CBA/J) F1, CFLP, 129, and SWR. In all the combinations tested, parthenogenetic cells were consistently absent from skeletal muscle, but there were varying contributions to most other tissues. These results suggest that the maternal duplication of chromosomes containing imprinted gene(s) responsible for the systematic elimination of parthenogenetic cells from skeletal muscle, are not subject to a pronounced influence of genotype-specific modifiers. However, the contribution of parthenogenetic cells to the brain does appear to be influenced by strain background, since a marked improvement in the survival of CFLP, 129 and perhaps SWR parthenogenetic cells in chimeric brains was observed compared with F2 cells. 相似文献

Development to term of mouse androgenetic aggregation chimeras. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Diploid androgenetic eggs contain two sperm-derived genomes, and only rarely develop to the early somite stage. Also, previous studies have indicated that androgenetic eggs cannot be rescued in aggregation chimeras beyond embryonic stages. Paradoxically, in blastocyst injection chimeras made with androgenetic embryonic stem (ES) cells of the 129/Sv strain, we previously obtained considerable improvement in developmental potential. Although considerable death occurred in utero, overtly normal chimeric fetuses and occasional postnatal chimeras that developed skeletal abnormalities were observed. Consequently, we have re-evaluated the developmental potential of androgenetic aggregation chimeras utilizing androgenetic eggs of the 129/Sv strain, and of the BALB/c and CD-1 strains for comparison. Regardless of strain, androgenetic aggregation chimeras were generally more inviable than previously observed with androgenetic ES cell chimeras, and often the embryoproper was abnormal even when an androgenetic contribution was detected only in the extra-embryonic membranes. This is at least a partial explanation of the greater viability of androgenetic ES cell chimeras, as ES cells do not colonize significantly certain extra-embryonic tissues. Nevertheless, in the 129/Sv strain, occasional development of chimeras to term was obtained, and one chimera that survived postnatally developed identical skeletal abnormalities to those observed previously in androgenetic ES cell chimeras. This result demonstrates that at least one example of paternal imprinting is faithfully conserved in androgenetic ES cells. Also, the postnatal chimerism shows that androgenetic eggs can give rise to terminally differentiated cell types, and are therefore pluripotent. In contrast, only possibly one BALB/c and no CD-1 androgenetic aggregation chimeras developed to term. Therefore, the developmental potential of androgenetic aggregation chimeras is to some extent dependent on mouse strain. 相似文献

Diploid parthenogenetic postimplantation mouse embryos, containing two maternal genomes, are characterized by poor development of extraembryonic membranes derived from the trophectoderm and primitive endoderm of the blastocyst. This is thought to be caused by a deficiency of expression of paternally derived imprinted genes. Here we have compared the inner cell mass, from which the primitive endoderm and fetal lineages are derived, and the trophectoderm, which forms a major component of the placenta, in parthenogenetic and fertilized preimplantation embryos. We have also studied the metabolism from the 1-cell to the blastocyst stage. Cell numbers were reduced in the ICM and TE of parthenogenetic blastocysts compared to fertilized blastocysts. This was thought to be due to the increased levels of cell death observed in these lineages. Pyruvate and glucose uptake by parthenogenetic embryos was similar to that by fertilized embryos throughout preimplantation development. However, at the expanded blastocyst stage glucose uptake by parthenogenetic embryos was significantly higher than by fertilized embryos. The implications of the actions of imprinted genes and of X-inactivation is discussed. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Embryonic stem cells contribute to mouse chimeras in the absence of detectable cell fusion 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are capable of differentiating into all embryonic and adult cell types following mouse chimera production. Although injection of diploid ES cells into tetraploid blastocysts suggests that tetraploid cells have a selective disadvantage in the developing embryo, tetraploid hybrid cells, formed by cell fusion between ES cells and somatic cells, have been reported to contribute to mouse chimeras. In addition, other examples of apparent stem cell plasticity have recently been shown to be the result of cell fusion. Here we investigate whether ES cells contribute to mouse chimeras through a cell fusion mechanism. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for X and Y chromosomes was performed on dissociated tissues from embryonic, neonatal, and adult wild-type, and chimeric mice to follow the ploidy distributions of cells from various tissues. FISH analysis showed that the ploidy distributions in dissociated tissues, notably the tetraploid cell number, did not differ between chimeric and wild-type tissues. To address the possibility that early cell fusion events are hidden by subsequent reductive divisions or other changes in cell ploidy, we injected Z/EG (lacZ/EGFP) ES cells into ACTB-cre blastocysts. Recombination can only occur as the result of cell fusion, and the recombined allele should persist through any subsequent changes in cell ploidy. We did not detect evidence of fusion in embryonic chimeras either by direct fluorescence microscopy for GFP or by PCR amplification of the recombined Z/EG locus on genomic DNA from ACTB-cre::Z/EG chimeric embryos. Our results argue strongly against cell fusion as a mechanism by which ES cells contribute to chimeras. 相似文献
