We have developed a device for pinpoint delivery of chemicals, proteins, and nucleic acids into cultured cells. The principle underlying the technique is the flow of molecules from the culture medium into cells through a rupture in the plasma membrane made by a needle puncture. DNA transfection is achieved by stabbing the needle tip into the nucleus. The CellBee device can be attached to any inverted microscope, and molecular delivery can be coupled with conventional live cell imaging. Because the position of the needle relative to the targeted cultured cells is computer-controlled, efficient delivery of molecules such as rhodamine into as many as 100 HeLa cells can be completed in 10 min. Moreover, specific target cells within a single dish can be transfected with multiple DNA constructs by simple changes of culture medium containing different plasmids. In addition, the nano-sized needle tip enables gentle molecular delivery, minimizing cell damage. This method permits DNA transfection into specific hippocampal neurons without disturbing neuronal circuitry established in culture. 相似文献

Shikonin derivative formation on the stem of cultured shoots in Lithospermum erythrorhizon 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lithospermum erythrorhizon , which are capable of producing red pigments, have been established. The red pigments were formed on the stems of L. erythrorhizon shoots cultured both on solid and in liquid media without phytohormones at 25 °C in the dark. Thin-layer chromatography,
high-performance liquid chromatography and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance analyses revealed that the red pigments which accumulated on the cultured shoots were shikonin
derivatives. The effects of various basal media and phytohormones (indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-butyric acid and kinetin)
on the growth and the formation of shikonin derivatives were investigated. When the shoots were cultured on Murashige and
Skoog solid medium, the addition of kinetin remarkably enhanced shikonin derivative accumulation in the shoots. However, these
effects of kinetin were not observed in the liquid culture when cultured in Gamborg B5 medium. The maximum content of shikonin
derivatives (2.3% as dry weight, ca. 1.5 mg/100 ml flask) was observed in the shoots cultured in phytohormone-free B5 liquid
medium for 5 weeks.

Tissue culture for the deep-sea clam Calyptogena soyoae (C. soyoae) has been examined. Mantle tissue was cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium that was prepared using artificial seawater
supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and the body fluid of C. soyoae. The mantle cells were viable in culture for at least 13 days at 4°C and atmospheric pressure on a polylysine-coated dish,
although no cells attached in the body fluid-free culture medium. It was found that mantle cells synthesized DNA and seemed
to proliferate under atmospheric conditions.

Enhanced bud regeneration in aspen (Populus tremula L.) roots cultured in liquid media 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The regeneration potential of excised aspen (Populus tremula L.) roots cultivated in liquid medium, as affected by plant growth regulators and by the position of the isolated root explant
on the main root, was investigated. The effect of various levels of benzyladenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ) on bud regeneration
in root explants was studied. TDZ in the medium had a marked effect on bud development as compared with BA, inducing a tenfold
increase in the number of buds regenerated from various root explants. TDZ enhanced both root and root-borne shoot biomass
production but reduced further shoot development and elongation. The position of the isolated root sections on the main root
affected regeneration, the proximal sections further away from the root tip producing the highest number of buds per explant
in both BA and TDZ treatments. Buds regenerated in close proximity to the site of lateral roots in BA-treated roots, while
in TDZ-treated root sections, the buds formed all over the root regardless of the presence of lateral roots. The buds developed
from inner cortical and sub-epidermal cell layers, disrupting the epidermis and the inner layers. Root biomass production
and growth was greatly enhanced in well-aerated bioreactor culture in the presence of 4.5×10–2 μM TDZ. A high number of the root-borne shoots could be rooted and converted to plantlets. However, while shoots regenerated
in a medium with BA rooted well in a growth regulator-free medium, shoots formed in a medium with TDZ required auxin for rooting.
Roots cultured in the presence of ancymidol, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, regenerated non-hyperhydric bud clusters
and hyperhydric shoots. These were separated mechanically, subcultured to growth and rooting medium and transplanted ex vitro
resulting in phenotypically true-to-type plantlets. The potential of liquid cultures for aspen shoot biomass production from
roots is discussed.

Protoplasts isolated from Nicotiana tabacum (L.) leaves were cultured for 6 days in liquid medium and some features of their antioxidant capacity were investigated.
Ascorbate exported into the culture medium was oxidized non-enzymically, whereas important modifications of the enzymic scavenging
activity were detected inside protoplasts. A new pool of isoenzymes, most of them with cytoplasmic characteristics, ensures
the increased ascorbate peroxidase activity. The specific activity of other enzymes involved in the ascorbate/glutathione
cycle, such as dehydroascorbate reductase and glutathione reductase, and of glutathione peroxidase were modified, resulting
in cultured protoplasts with quantitative differences in antioxidant capacity compared to leaves. The hypothesis presented
here suggests that the new scavenging system is related to differences in the compartment-specific accumulation of active
oxygen species following protoplast isolation.

Aseptically propagated regenerates were cultivated in a hydroponic apparatus, a phytotron or in the field, and their growth
and littorine contents were investigated. No littorine was detected in aseptic regenerates cultured on solidified Murashige
and Skoog medium, nor was it found in leaves under the three conditions tested. In roots, it was common features to all three
conditions tested that littorine increased dramatically after transplantation from culture tubes and was a major alkaloid
up to week 4; subsequently the littorine contents varied depending on the cultivation conditions. Roots cultivated in the
field showed a marked thickening and rapid disappearance of littorine; those cultivated in the hydroponic apparatus were thin
and maintained a high level of littorine for a long time. In a plant cultivated for 16 weeks in a pot, littorine content in
the roots decreased with increasing root diameter.

Embryogenesis and Plantlet Formation through Direct Culture of Isolated Pollen of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsum and Nicotiana rustica cv. Rustica 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Pollen embryos and plantlets of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsunand Nicotiana rustica cv. Rustica were obtained through directpollen culture without prior treatment or prior culture of anthersor buds. Isolated pollen was cultured first in a medium withoutsucrose, then transferred into Nitsch's H medium containing2% sucrose and 5 mM glutamine. The optimum medium for the initialculture was water and the optimum period of culture was ca.6 days when binucleate pollen was used.

We report an automated cell-isolation system based on fluorescence image analysis of cell aggregates cultured in a photodegradable hydrogel. The system incorporates cell culture in a humidified atmosphere with controlled CO2 concentration and temperature, image acquisition and analysis, micropatterned light exposure, and cell collection by pipetting. Cell aggregates were cultured on hydrogels, and target cells were selected by phase contrast and fluorescence image analysis. After degradation of the hydrogel by exposure to micropatterned UV light, cell aggregates were transferred to a collection vessel by robotic pipetting. We assessed the system for hydrogel degradation, recovery of target cells, and contamination by off-target cells. We demonstrated two practical applications of our method: (i) in cell aggregates from MCF-7-RFP strains in which 18.8% of cells produced red fluorescent protein (RFP), we successfully obtained 14 proliferative fluorescence-positive cell aggregates from 31-wells, and all of the isolated strains produced a higher proportion of RFP production than the original populations; (ii) after fluorescent immunostaining of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in cancer cells, we successfully isolated HER2-positive cells from a mixed population of HER2-positive and -negative cells, and gene sequence analysis confirmed that the isolated cells mainly contained the target cells. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to examine the possibility that parathyroid hormone promotes the production of interleukin 1 and 6 in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells derived from mouse calvaria. The cells were incubated in serum-free medium with or without synthetic human parathyroid hormone(1-34). The concentrations of interleukin 1 and 6 in the culture medium were determined by using specific bioassay. The cells cultured without parathyroid hormone for 24 hr released both of interleukins, and parathyroid hormone stimulated the release in a dose-dependent manner. When the cells were cultured with 10(-6) M parathyroid hormone, the release of both interleukins from the cells remained higher than control up to 144 hr. These results suggest that interleukin 1 and 6 release stimulated by parathyroid hormone may be involved in the bone resorbing activity of the hormone. 相似文献

The aseptic pipetting lifetime of air displacement pipettors during serial pipetting was investigated. When a Micrococcus luteus T culture was pipetted using no filter, less than 100 pipettings were required to contaminate the interiors of both mechanical and electronic pipettors with more than 103 cfu (n = 1890 pipettings). When a filter was placed in the pipettor tip cone, the sterility of the pipettor barrel was maintained for more than 500 pipettings (n = 2620) or 50–250 pipettings (n = 2520), depending on the filter type used. When a radioactive liquid or plasmid DNA was pipetted using no filter, contamination of the pipettor barrel occurred within less than 100 pipettings. A filter placed in the pipettor tip cone protected the interior of the pipettors against radioactive contamination for more than 250 pipettings and against DNA contamination for more than 500 pipettings. A pipettor barrel contaminated with M. luteus T caused carryover in 13% of the pipetting series. When a SCF filter was placed in the tip cone, no carryover was observed within 2620 pipettings. A tip cone filter replaced at intervals of 50–250 (polyethylene filter) or 500 (SCF filter) pipettings will protect the pipettor barrel from contamination and the samples from carryover. 相似文献

Summary We have described the protocols and characterization of a pituicyte culture, which became established as a reliable and reproducible
bioassay for the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The bioassay was used to measure
the bioactivity of factors that inhibit and stimulate gonadotrophin secretion. The protocol that was used involved the culling
of female Wistar rats (200 to 250 g weight), at random stages of their cycle, and dispersal of their pituicytes in a concentration
of 0.4 × 106 cells · ml−1 · well−1 in serum-free medium (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium/Ham’s F12 mixture, supplemented with insulin and transferrin) in
Falcon 3047 24-well culture plates. After 24 h of pre-culture, the medium was changed and the cells cultured for a further
48 h. The supernatant was removed and assayed for basal secretion of FSH and LH. The cells were then stimulated with 10−8
M GnRH for 4 h and the supernatant assayed for gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-stimulated FSH and LH secretion. All
samples were assayed as pairs of duplicates (i.e. quadruplicate samples) which were randomly added to the plates to minimize
plate effects. Random number tables were used to achieve this randomization. 相似文献

Density-dependent pollen germination and tube growth in vitro is a well-documented phenomenon, termed the pollen population
effect, but far less is known about its molecular basis. We present evidence to support phytosulfokine-α [Y(SO3H)IY(SO3H)TQ; PSK-α] as a native bioactive factor contributing to this effect. Mature pollen grains of Nicotiana tabacum L. var.macrophylla were incubated in liquid medium for 2 h. Pollen germination frequency increased in a density-dependent manner from 625 to
46,000 grains/ml. Conditioned medium, obtained from the medium of pollen cultured at a density of 10,000 pollen grains/ml
for 12 h, promoted the germination of pollen cultured at a low density (625 grains/ml). A rabbit antiserum against PSK-α specifically
inhibited the promotive effect of conditioned medium. Quantification by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the
conditioned medium contained 0.4 nM of PSK-α. Exogenous PSK-α also stimulated pollen germination in the low-density culture.
These results indicate that PSK-α is an important regulator involved in the pollen population effect.

Use of microorganism-immobilized polyurethane foams to absorb and degrade oil on water surface 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Highly oil-absorbent polyurethane foam (PUF) materials were obtained by polymerizing polyether polyol mixture and carbodiimide-modified
d-methyl diisocyanate in a weight ratio of 10:2. The foam materials were prepared to contain inorganic nutrients (slow-release
fertilizer; SRF) and oil-degrading yeast cells, Yarrowia lipolytica 180, to be applied for removal of oil films on surface waters through absorption and biodegradation after oil spills. PUFs
absorbed 7–9 times their own weight of Arabian light crude oil and the oil absorbency appeared to improve as the ratio of
surface area to foam weight increased. PUFs showed excellent floatability which was maintained for more than 6 months in sea
water, and less than 5% of the absorbed oil was released when the foams were left on water for more than 10 days. For immobilization
of yeast cells into PUFs, various immobilization techniques were tested to compare their oil degrading ability and the maintenance
thereof. All immobilized cells showed oil degrading abilities as good as those of free cells immediately after the preparation
of PUFs, however, the activity of chitin-immobilized cells remained at a high level for the longest period of preservation.
The high efficiency of oil absorption and oil degradation by PUF-immobilized yeast cells suggested that PUF-immobilized cells
have a high potential as a bioremediation technique for the treatment of oil films on surface waters.

Background: We studied dendritic cell (DC) function in patients affected by pancreatic carcinoma, and the possibility of obtaining DC
adequate for immunological treatment modalities. Methods: Leucocytes were isolated from buffy coats obtained by autotransfusion of six patients undergoing pancreatico-duodenectomy.
The leucocytes were cryopreserved and, after thawing, were purified by density gradient and/or plastic adhesion. They were
then cultured in vitro in cytokine-enriched medium (granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor + interleukin-4) with
different sources of serum: 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 2% autologous human serum or 2% pooled human AB serum. Results: The DC obtained were identical to those from healthy donors in terms of phenotype, antigen uptake capacity, capacity for
antigen presentation and their capacity to mature after exposure to stimuli like CD40L. DC differentiated in human serum demonstrated
more mature behaviour than did DC cultured in FCS but, after exposure to CD40L, this difference disappeared. In one patient
soluble factors in serum were able to inhibit the capacity of DC to stimulate T cells. Conclusion: It's possible to obtain DC from autotransfusion of patients with pancreatic carcinoma: these cells do not show evident quantitative
or qualitative alterations, are able to present soluble antigen even when cultured in the presence of human serum and may
be used in immunological tumour treatments.

Indirect somatic embryogenesis was induced on leaf explants of greenhouse-grown Helianthus maximiliani plants. Leaves of the regenerated plants were used as starting explants for the induction of direct somatic embryogenesis.
Another cycle of somatic embryogenesis was induced on the leaves of regenerated plants. In both cases, leaf explants were
cultured on media containing different auxin/cytokinin ratios. The auxin/cytokinin ratio had an influence on the intensity
of embryo formation, germination and the capability to regenerate plants. Somatic embryogenesis was generally more intensive
on the medium with lower concentrations of 6-benzylamino-purine. Further, the percentage of regenerated plants was higher
when embryos were induced on high-cytokinin, low-auxin medium. Secondary somatic embryogenesis was induced on embryos by culture
in liquid hormone-free medium. Similar to direct embryogenesis the efficiency of secondary embryogenesis depended on the medium
used for the induction of the primary embryos. In contrast to the mostly low frequencies of conversion of secondary embryos
into plants that has been observed in other species, the percentage of regenerated plants from secondary embryos of H. maximiliani was quite high, although slightly lower than that obtained in primary embryos.

We have shown that Meiosis Inducing Substance (MIS) and forskolin synergistically and dose dependently induce meiosis in germ cells of cultured fetal mouse testes. We used a bioassay which consists of fetal mouse testes and ovaries cultured for 6 days. In this study MIS media are spent culture media from 24 hour cultures of minced adult mouse testes. In the bioassay one gonad of each fetus is cultured either in MIS medium, in control medium with forskolin, or in MIS medium with forskolin. The other gonad serves as the control and is cultured in control medium. After culture the gonads are fixed, squashed, and DNA-stained. In these preparations germ cells and somatic cells can be distinguished, and the number of germ cells in the different stages of meiosis is counted as is the number of somatic cells in mitosis. MIS activity is defined to be present in a medium when meiosis is induced in male germ cells during culture. We found that MIS media as well as forskolin induced meiosis in fetal male germ cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, MIS media and forskolin acted synergistically by inducing meiosis. Female germ cells seem to be unaffected by the various culture media. These findings indicate that receptors for stimuli of meiotic initiation may exist in germ cells or neighbouring somatic cells. In addition to induction of meiosis, MIS media and forskolin also dose dependently increase the number of male germ cells compared to controls. This increase is correlated with induction of advanced stages of meiosis: Male germ cells seem to survive better if they are triggered to enter meiosis. Neither MIS media nor forskolin affected the growth of somatic cells. We therefore propose that MIS media has a growth factor activity with a specific effect on meiotic initiation. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Cooling water samples from 31 cooling tower systems were cultured for Legionella over a 16-week summer period. The selected systems were known to be colonized by Legionella. Mean Legionella counts and standard deviations were calculated and time series correlograms prepared for each system. The standard deviations
of Legionella counts in all the systems were very large, indicating great variability in the systems over the time period. Time series
analyses demonstrated that in the majority of cases there was no significant relationship between the Legionella counts in the cooling tower at time of collection and the culture result once it was available. In the majority of systems
(25/28), culture results from Legionella samples taken from the same systems 2 weeks apart were not statistically related. The data suggest that determinations of
health risks from cooling towers cannot be reliably based upon single or infrequent Legionella tests.

Expansion of transgenic tobacco protoplasts expressing pumpkin ascorbate oxidase is more rapid than that of wild-type protoplasts 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
When pumpkin (Cucurbita spp., cv. Ebisu Nankin) ascorbate oxidase cDNA was introduced into cultured cells of tobacco BY-2 (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow No. 2) by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, the transgenic cells expressed and secreted the recombinant pumpkin ascorbate oxidase into the culture
medium. These transgenic cells showed no morphological difference from wild-type cells. However, in the presence of applied
hormones protoplasts prepared from the transgenic cells elongated more rapidly than those of wild-type cells. We propose that
ascorbate oxidase may play a key role in the regulation of cell expansion perhaps by controlling transport processes through
the plasma membrane, but not by affecting the cell wall.

AIM: To improve the isolation and expansion of human marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) based on rat samples. METHODS: Based on the fact that rat MSCs are relatively easy to obtain from a small aspirate, bone marrow-derived MSCs from rat were cultured and characterized to set up the different protocols used in this study. Then, accordingly, almost the same protocols were performed on human healthy bone marrow samples, after obtaining approval of the ethics committee and gaining informed consent. We used different protocols and culture conditions, including the type of basal media and the culture composition. The MSCs were characterized by immunophenotyping and differentiation. RESULTS: There was no difference in morphology and proliferation capacity between different culture media at the first passage. During the 5-7th passages, the cells gradually lost their morphology and proliferation potential on Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) high glucose and α modified Eagle’s medium. Although the cells expanded rapidly for up to 10 passages on DMEM low glucose containing 10% to 15% fetal calf serum (FCS), their proliferation was arrested without change in morphology and differentiation capacity at the third passage on 5% FCS. Flow cytometric analysis and functional tests confirmed that more than 90% of marrow cells which were isolated and expanded by our selective protocols were MSCs. CONCLUSION: We improved the isolation and expansion of human bone marrow derived MSCs, based on rat sample experiments, for further experimental and clinical use. 相似文献
