Lack of expression of differentiation in mouse teratoma-fibroblast somatic cell hybrids 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Somatic cell hybrids between multipotent mouse teratoma cells and mouse fibroblasts were established and isolated. The hybrid cells possess one chromosome set of each parental type and express major histocompatibility antigens of both strains of mice from which the parental cells were derived. Upon inoculation into F1 mice, hybrid cells produced tumors which were typical fibrosarcomas as were the tumors produced by the fibroblastic parental cell line. None of the well differentiated tissue types characteristic of the teratoma parent cell tumors were expressed in the hybrid tumors. The hybrid tumors possessed the majority of the chromosomes of the two parental cells; however, the modal numbers were slightly reduced in comparison with those of the cell populations inoculated. The possible role of ‘genic balance’ in phenotypic expression of cell hybrids is discussed. 相似文献

We recently reported that a majority of hybrids generated in vitro between weakly metastatic mouse Cloudman S91 melanoma cells and human or mouse macrophages showed enhanced metastatic potential. With few exceptions, hybrids with enhanced metastatic potential also had elevated basal melanin content and increased responsiveness to MSH compared to parental cells. Here we investigated the hybrid melanotic phenotype in more detail, comparing the pigmentary systems of hybrids and parental Cloudman S91 cells by several techniques. Cells were studied by electron microscopy, cell lysates were analyzed for tyrosinase (E.C.1.14.18.1) activity, and melanosomal proteins were analyzed by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Melanosomes in parental Cloudman melanoma cells were few in number and relatively amorphous, whereas those in the hybrids were numerous and heavily pigmented, containing highly organized lattice structures. Both basal and MSH-inducible tyrosinase activities were elevated several fold in hybrids compared to parental cells. Tyrosinase, TRP-2, and LAMP-1 from hybrids migrated more slowly on gels compared to the same proteins from parental melanoma cells, consistent with increased glycosylation. Migration of LAMP-1 from hybrids was similar to that from peritoneal macrophages, which also appeared to be more heavily glycosylated than LAMP-1 from Cloudman cells. By using 3H-glucosamine as a marker of N-glycosylation, its incorporation into tyrosinase and LAMP-1 was found to be elevated in hybrids, suppressed by N-glycosylation inhibitors, and stimulated by MSH to a greater degree in hybrids compared to parental cells. These results indicate N-glycosylation as an important regulatory pathway for MSH-induced melanogenesis and further suggest that altered N-linked glycosylation may be an underlying mechanism for regulation of both melanogenesis and metastasis in macrophage x melanoma hybrids. 相似文献

Human and mouse fibroblast chromosomes carrying tyrosinase or b-locus genes were introduced, by microcell hybridization, into pigmented Syrian hamster melanoma cells, and the microcell hybrids were tested for transactivation of the fibroblast tyrosinase and b-locus genes. By using species-specific PCR amplification to distinguish fibroblast and melanoma cDNAs, it was demonstrated that the previously silent fibroblast tyrosinase and b-locus genes were transactivated following chromosomal transfer into pigmented melanoma cells. However, transactivation of the mouse fibroblast tyrosinase gene was unstable in microcell hybrid subclones and possibly dependent on a second fibroblast locus that could have segregated in the subclones. This second locus was not necessary for transactivation of the fibroblast b-locus gene, thus demonstrating noncoordinate transactivation of fibroblast tyrosinase and b-locus genes. Transactivation of the fibroblast tyrosinase gene in microcell hybrids apparently is dependent on the absence of a putative fibroblast extinguisher locus for tyrosinase gene expression, which presumably is responsible for the extinction of pigmentation in hybrids between karyotypically complete fibroblasts and melanoma cells. 相似文献

Artificial fusion of human monocyte with Cloudman S91 mouse melanoma cells resulted in hybrids that showed increased motility in vitro, enhanced metastatic potential in vivo, and also tended to be super melanotic (Rachkovsky et al., Clin. Exp. Metastasis 16 (1998) 299). However, no gene derived from monocytes has been shown to be expressed in these hybrids until now. Similar observations have also been noted in hybrids originating from mouse macrophage and mouse melanoma cells. Having the advantage of species differences in mouse x human hybrids, we are able, this time, to show by RT-PCR that some genes specific to the human genome are expressed in these hybrids, indicating that not only is the genomic DNA from parental monocytes integrated in the hybrids but also some genes are being expressed. This observation may lead us to find contributory genes from monocyte and/or macrophage that are responsible for modulating the genotypes and hence the phenotypes in the hybrids. 相似文献

Sendai virus-induced fusion of 6-thioguanine-resistant mouse melanoma cells (TG14) with various types of chick embryonic tissue cells resulted in the formation of hybrid cells. Isolated hybrid clones possessed almost complete sets of the cell chromosomes of the parent mouse and several dot-like chromosomes of the chick. Each type of hybrid clone showed characteristic tyrosinase activity that resulted in melanin production. An enhanced production of melanin was observed in the hybrids between not highly pigmented TG14 cells and retinal pigment cells. Electrophoretic analyses showed that banding patterns of tyrosinase were not of chick type but of mouse melanoma type. Numerous stage 111 and IV melanosomes of the mouse melanoma type were observed in pigmented hybrid clones. On the other hand, hybrid cells between mouse melanoma cells and chick embryonic liver cells exhibited lower tyrosinase activity. 相似文献

Phenotypic exclusion in mouse melanoma-rat hepatoma hybrid cells: pigment and albumin production are not reexpressed simultaneously. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Hybridization of cells of defined and different histotypes has been carried out to investigate whether the expression (or reexpression) of parental functions is mutually exclusive, as is expected if the generally assumed rule of discreteness of differentiation applies to hybrid cells. A cross of pigmented mouse melanoma cells and albumin-producing rat hepatoma cells gave rise to hybrids containing essentially one set of chromosomes from each parent and producing neither melanin nor albumin. Cells of one hybrid clone are shown to retain the potential to reexpress both parental differentiations. Successive subclonings of this hybrid have shown that cells which reexpress one function may retain the potential to reexpress the other, and that freshly isolated, morphologically homogeneous subclones may produce pigment or albumin, but not both; there successive and exclusive shifts of phenotype are documented, and in these cases, chromosome loss is very slight. The use of immunoadsorbed antisera has revealed that most (if not all) of the albumin produced by the hybrid cells is of the mouse type. We conclude that both parental determinations are retained by the hybrid cells, and that the parental differentiations are reexpressed only in a mutually exclusive fashion. 相似文献

It was recently reported that a majority of hybrids generated in vitro between weakly metastatic mouse Cloudman S91 melanoma cells and human or mouse macrophages showed enhanced metastatic potential (Rachkovsky et al., 1998). With few exceptions, hybrids with enhanced metastatic potential also had elevated basal melanin content, enhanced chemotactic responses to fibroblast-conditioned media, and stronger responsiveness to MSH compared to parental cells. Analyses revealed that altered N-glycosylation in metastatic hybrids could explain the multiple phenotypic changes. Tyrosinase, TRP-2 and LAMP-1 from hybrids migrated more slowly on gels compared to the same proteins from parental melanoma cells, consistent with increased glycosylation. Migration of LAMP-1 from hybrids was similar to that from peritoneal macrophages which also appeared to be more heavily glycosylated than LAMP-1 from Cloudman cells. The incorporation of 3H-glucosamine, as a marker of N-glycosylation, into tyrosinase and LAMP-1 was found to be elevated in hybrids, suppressed by N-glycosylation inhibitors and stimulated by MSH to a greater degree in hybrids compared to parental cells.

Each of four kinds of teratocarcinoma cells, OTT6050P, PCC4, PSA1 and LT, derived from 129 or LT mouse strain, was fused with B16-CAPr melanoma cells derived from C57BL/6J by using Sendai virus. The resultant hybrids were morphologically melanotic melanoma cells which were larger and more heavily pigmented than the parental B16-CAPr melanoma cells. The chromosome analysis and GPI electrophoresis demonstrated that all hybrids were products of fusion between a single teratocarcinoma cell and a single melanoma cell. The pigmentation in the hybrids between a 129 teratocarcinoma cell and a melanoma cell was much stronger than that in hybrids between an LT teratocarcinoma cell and a melanoma cell. This phenomenon was consistent with the difference of coat color between 129 and LT mouse strain. From these results, it was suggested that the genes of teratocarcinoma cells involved in the pigmentation are activated in the hybrids with B16-CAPr melanoma cells. 相似文献

We have produced somatic cell hybrids between totipotent mouse teratocarcinoma cells and rat hepatoma cells. These hybrids were tested for the expression of liver specific functions expressed in the hepatoma cell parent and for their ability to differentiate when injected into nude mice. The results of this study indicate that hybrid cell clones do not resemble either of the parental cells, since they do not produce albumin and tyrosine aminotransferase that are expressed in the rat hepatoma parent, and are incapable of forming either teratocarcinomas or hepatomas when injected in experimental animals. 相似文献

Neonatal hepatic functions are selectively extinguished in hybrids between mouse hepatoma cells, that express only fetal hepatic functions, and rat hepatoma cells expressing neonatal as well as fetal functions. A search for hybrid cells reexpressing these neonatal functions was undertaken to determine; (1) whether the selective extinction of neonatal functions is reversible and at what frequency, and (2) whether the re-expression of neonatal functions would be accompanied by modifications in the expression of fetal functions. The criterion used to obtain hybrids showing re-expression was glucose-free medium (G) where growth requires the presence of the extinguished gluconeogenic enzymes. Even though the parental cells are of the same histotype it proved difficult to obtain re-expression. Survivors in G- were obtained only from hybrids containing a greater than 1s complement of rat chromosomes; they reexpress not only gluconeogenic enzymes but also basal tyrosine aminotransferase activity, and the fetal hepatic function alpha-fetoprotein continues to be expressed in most of the clones. All survivors in G- display a significant loss of chromosomes and this loss concerns essentially mouse chromosomes. 相似文献

Somatic cell hybrids were derived by fusing tumourigenic and melanogenic melanoma (PAZG) cells with normal diploid male mouse cells in vivo. Their chromosomal composition was equivalent to the sum of both parental genomes and included a Y chromosome lacking in the melanoma parent. Our study showed that in PAZG X C57BL hybrids (MP), tumourigenicity was suppressed but pigmentation was expressed. 相似文献

Chloramphenicol-resistant (CAPr) reconstituted cells and cybrids were isolated by fusion of karyoplasts (or intact cells) of mouse amelanotic melanoma B16 cells with cytoplasts of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) -deficient, CAPr rat myoblastic cells, L6TG.CAPr, and double selection in HAT medium containing CAP. Reconstituted cells or cybrids exhibited unique cellular arrangement, and about one third of the isolated clones expressed high tyrosinase activity and marked melanin synthesis, although the parental mouse cells expressed low tyrosinase activity and the parental rat cells did not express tyrosinase activity. These phenotypic changes have been stable for more than a year. The phenotypic reversions of these clonal cells were induced by treatment with a tumor promoter. There were changes in the morphology of the treated cells to that of the mouse B16 cells and extinction of tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis in pigmented clonal cells. These phenotypic changes and reversions induced by a promoter were repeatedly reversible. 相似文献

Expression of fetal and neonatal hepatic functions by mouse hepatoma-rat hepatoma hybrids 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
In order to analyze the mechanisms implicated in the expression of differentiated functions during development, we have studied ten hybrid clones arising from fusion of cells of a mouse hepatoma characterized by the expression of only fetal hepatic functions with those of a rat hepatoma which express, like adult hepatocytes, a set of neonatal as well as fetal hepatic functions. The cells of most hybrid clones contain one set of chromosomes of each parent and coexpress the hepatic functions common to both parents. Among the hepatic proteins characteristic of only one parental line, some continue to be expressed while others are extinguished. The three functions out of the eight examined which are subject to extinction are expressed uniquely by the rat parental cells and appear only near or at birth during normal liver development. These results suggest that regulatory mechanisms (whose final effect is negative) operate in fetal cells to inhibit the expression of differentiated functions limited to a later stage of development. 相似文献

Somatic mouse cells hybrids formed by fusion of nontumorigenic 3T3 closely related SV40-transformed SVT2 cells were analyzed in a study designed to probe the genetic basis of the multiple phenotypic changes induced by SV40 transformation. These hybrids showed noncoordinate expression of the transformation phenotype. Although they cloned at high efficiency in medium with low serum and expressed the SV40 T-antigen of the SVT2 parent, hybrid cells grew poorly without anchorage and exhibited a cell and colony morphology intermediate between that of the parents. Tumorigenicity was assayed quantitatively by subcutaneous coinjection into athymic nude mice of serial dilutions of 10(2) to 10(5) hybrid cells with 10(7) lethally irradiated 3T3 cells. The results showed that 100--1000 times more hybrid cells had to be injected for tumor formation than were required with SVT2. These and other observations show that most 3T3/SVT2 hybrid cells are not tumorigenic but that each population contains a rare subset of tumorigenic cells. 相似文献

Expression of the neuron-specific protein, 14-3-2, and steroid sulfatase in neuroblastoma cell hybrids 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Three series of neuroblastoma X fibroblast hybrid clones were isolated from crosses between mouse or human fibroblasts and mouse or human neuroblastoma cell lines by virus-mediated cell fusion. The expression of 14-3-2 protein (an acidic protein specific to neurons) and steroid sulfatase activity was studied in parental and hybrid cell lines. Steroid sulfatase was extinguished in hybrids when only one parent expressed the enzyme, but was expressed in one hybrid combination in which both parents expressed the enzyme. The neuron-specific 14-3-2 protein, on the other hand, continued to be expressed in all three series of neuroblastoma x fibroblast hybrids. In most cases where these pheno-types were expressed, they also exhibited temporal modulation; that is, specific activity is low during logarithmic growth and increases markedly during stationary phase. The glial-specific protein S-100 is absent from all parents and hybrids. The results are discussed in terms of mechanisms of regulation of differentiated phenotypes in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Hybrids between mouse PCC4-azal teratocarcinoma cells and rat epithelial intestinal villus cells (PCI hybrids) are phenotypically teratocarcinoma cells. They express several teratocarcinoma-specific traits but do not express functions specific for differentiated cells. Tumour formation is partially or completely suppressed. Some of the hybrids show more extensive differentiation both in vitro and in vivo than the PCC4-azal parental line. The hybrids are capable of endoderm formation in monolayer cultures and of the formation of embryoid bodies in suspension cultures. Two of the tumour-forming hybrids generate derivatives of all three germ layers, whereas differentiation in the PCC4-azal tumours is restricted to the formation of primitive neuronal tissues. 相似文献

Tumorigenicity and anchorage independence in two types of the interspecies hybrids of the tumor and normal mammalian cells were studied. One hybrid type was derived from fusion of spontaneously transformed Chinese hamster and normal mouse cells; the second type was obtained by fusion of SV40-transformed Djungarian hamster and the same mouse cells. The tumorigenicity in the athymic nude mice was suppressed in the first type of hybrids. The hybrid clones derived from fusion of SV40-transformed and normal cells could form tumor in nude mice. Testing of hybrid clones for their ability to form colonies in soft agar showed that all hybrids grew well in the medium, similar to tumor parental cells. These data suggest that malignancy and anchorage independence are under separate genetic control. The influence of the origin of the tumor parental cells (spontaneous or SV40-virus transformation) on the expression of the malignancy in hybrids of the tumor and normal cells is discussed. 相似文献

We have isolated a pigment cell-specific cDNA clone from a B16 mouse melanoma cDNA library by differential hybridization. The mRNA of isolated cDNA is highly expressed in B16 melanoma cells and in black mouse (C57BL/6) skin, but is not detectable in mouse neuroblastoma cells nor in K1735 mouse amelanotic melanoma cells. The protein sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cloned cDNA shows significant similarity to the entire region of Neurospora tyrosinase. To know the identity of cDNA, we transfected K1735 amelanotic melanoma and COS-7 cells with the cDNA carried in a simian virus 40 vector (pKCRH2). We confirmed that the isolated cDNA encodes mouse tyrosinase by immunofluorescence staining of transfected cells using two different anti-T4-tyrosinase monoclonal antibodies. Tyrosinase is composed of 513 amino acids with a molecular weight of 57,872 excluding a hydrophobic signal peptide of 24 amino acids. 相似文献
