The development of specialized intercellular junctions in cultured cells was studied ultrastructurally. MDCK cells, derived from dog kidney, were fixed in situ at proper times after replating, and the sections were cut perpendicular to the plane of the monolayer. In three or four days, the apposition of cell membranes and condensation of extracellular flocculent material were observed between the neighboring cells, and such were regarded as the early signs of desmosome formation. In many cases, a desmosome was formed first, and the formation of a tight junction followed on the apical (medium facing) side. Finally, all intercellular spaces were closed by a junctional complex at the apical edge. In the complex, a tight junction, (intermediate junction) and desmosome(s) succeeded each other in a medium-substratum direction in all cases. In glutaraldehyde-Os O4 fixed specimens, the intermediate dense line in the desmosome was ascertained from the infant stage of development, while in Os O4 fixed material, the structure was obscure throughout the observation but side-arm-like projections were more prominent. 相似文献

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of lizard (Anolis carolinensis) myocardial cells has been examined, with particular attention being paid to the structural details of the peripheral couplings (junctional SR). Spheroidal bodies are present within the opaque core of junctional SR; these can be seen both in sections made en face and in sections cut to show the apposition of the junctional SR with the sarcolemma. Opaque junctional processes extend between the sarcolemma and the peripheral junctional SR. The myocardial cells in addition contain some SR cisternae deep within the cells which also possess opaque cores composed of spheroids. Although the significance of the junctional SR spheroidal bodies is unknown, it is thought that they could act as a matrix on which enzymes such as calcium-specific ATPase may be located. 相似文献

Micromeres and mesomeres isolated from 16-cell embryos of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus intermedius , were cultured in vitro , and changes in the cells surface architecture during the differentiation of the micromere- and mesomere-derived cells were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Two types of the distribution of the surface microvilli were observed in both blastomere-derived cell masses. One type showed a uniform distribution of the microvilli and the other type showed an uneven one. Though many microvilli were observed in most of both mesomere and micromere-derived cells at the 64-cell stage and the early blastula stage (16 hr after the 16-cell stage at 6°C) respectively, the microvilli decreased in number at the later stages in both blastomere-derived cell masses as compared with the 64-cell stage and the early blastula stage respectively. Rapid disappearance of the surface microvilli was observed in the micromere-derived cells in contrast with the mesomere-derived cells which still had many microvilli even at the midmesenchyme stage. 相似文献

Ultrastructural and histochemical changes during intracapsular cell differentiation in the premeiotic sporophyte of the liverwort Sphaerocarpos donnellii Austin were studied. From an initially undifferentiated meristematic tissue, spore mother cells and nutritive cells become differentiated. The first indications of ultrastructural differentiation into two cell types are the accumulation of lipid within spherosomes and the occurrence of plastid tubules in the presumptive spore mother cells. Once differentiated the two cell types are clearly distinguishable on the basis of cytoplasmic vacuolation, stored food reserve, and cell and nuclear size. The mature spore mother cell contains many spherosomes, small vacuoles, starch-containing plastids, and a large central nucleus. The mature nutritive cell, on the other hand, is extremely vacuolate and contains large, starch-filled plastids, a few spherosomes, and a small nucleus. A previously undescribed type of cell was observed in developing sporophyte capsules. This cell is located peripherally in the capsule and degenerates during differentiation of spore mother cells and nutritive cells. 相似文献

This investigation describes the kinetics of the granulosa cells in medium-sized follicles type 3b, 4 and 5a in ovaries of 28-day-old Bagg mice. the method of labelling with 3 H-thymidine followed by high resolution autoradiography is used in the experimental work, which consist of determining percentage labelled mitosis (PLM-) and continuous labelling (CL-) curves. In order to analyse the data by computer two alternative hypotheses A and B are set up. Both include the assumptions of no cell loss, exponential growth and a resting compartment Q. In hypothesis A cells from Q re-enter the mitotic cycle via the normal DNA-synthesis compartment Sp. Hypothesis B includes beside compartment Sp a special DNA-synthesis compartment Sq where only cells from Q are synthesizing DNA, and these cells re-enter the mitotic cycle via the G2 compartment. the mean transit time in Sq is considered to be longer than the mean transit time in Sq . On the basis of the hypothesis mathematical expressions for the PLM- and CL-curves are obtained, and by means of a computer the theoretical curves are fitted to the experimental values: thereby all relevant cell kinetical parameters are estimated. Hypothesis B seems to give the best fit between the theoretical and experimental curves. the estimated parameters are: mean cycle times, μc = (56.1 hr, 56.1 hr and 22.3 hr for type 3b, 4 and 5a respectively), doubling times, T D = (96.4 hr, 118.6 hr and 59.1 hr) and the proportion of cells in Q, p Q = (0.60, 0.71 and 0.69). 相似文献

The relation between the mitotic cycle and myoblast fusion has been studied in chick skeletal muscle in vitro. The duration of the cell cycle phases was the same in both early and late cultures. By tracing a cohort of pulse-labeled cells, it was found that myoblast fusion does not occur in S, G2, or M. Cell surface alterations required for fusion are dependent upon the position of the cell in the division cycle. In early cultures, fusion takes place only after a minimum delay of 5 hr from the time the cell has entered G1. The mitosis preceding fusion may condition the cell for the abrupt shift in synthetic activity that occurs in the subsequent G1. In older cultures fusion of labeled cells is diminished. Two factors account for the cessation of fusion in older cultures. First, the number of myogenic stem cells declines, but these cells do not disappear as the cultures mature. Their persistence was demonstrated by labeling dividing mononucleated cells in older cultures and challenging them with nascent myotubes. Some of these labeled cells were incorporated into the forming myotubes. Second, a block to fusion develops during myotube maturation. Well developed myotubes challenged with labeled competent myogenic cells failed to incorporate the labeled nuclei. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

The outermost cell layer of the animal half of the newt blastula ( Triturus pyrrhogaster ) was examined to investigate intercellular junctions by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. A unique structure is observed at the terminal region of the intercellular junction. The structures are cytoplasmic ridges elevated from the cell surfaces, and their inner part is filled with spaces of various sizes. It is supposed that these ridges result from the encounter of cytoplasmic folds protruding from two neighboring cells.
Below the ridges, there is a short close junctional area which is followed by a long region of intercellular space intermittently bridged by cytoplasmic projections. Microvillus-like cytoplasmic processes on the apical cell surfaces, and microfilaments and microtubules in subsurface regions are observed in this material as in many other embryonic cells of amphibians. 相似文献

Neural retinal cells of 8–9 day-old chick embryos were differentiated into pigment cells in the conditions of cell culture for about 25 days. The increase of pigment cells in vitro was semi-quantitatively shown, by counting the number of black foci of pigmented cells per plate throughout the culture period. The increase paralleled the increase in the activity of tyrosinase. The addition of a small number of pigment cells freshly dissociated from tapeta to the cultures of neural retinae did not increase the number of black foci in vitro . Electron microscopic observations revealed the morphological differences of melanin granules between those in pigment cells of the neural retinal cultures and those in cultured tapetum cells. It was discussed that pigment cells appearing in the neural retinal cultures were derived from neural retinal cells, but not from contaminated cells of the tapetum. 相似文献

Two methods used for the electron microscopic detection of glycoproteins were applied to a variety of cell types in the rat; one involved successive treatment of sections with periodic acid, chromic acid, and silver methenamine; and the other, a brief treatment with a chromic acid-phosphotungstic acid mixture. The results obtained with the two methods were identical and, whenever the comparison was possible, similar to those obtained with the periodic acid-Schiff technique of light microscopy. In secretory as well as in nonsecretory cells, parts of the Golgi apparatus are stained. The last saccule on one side of each Golgi stack is strongly reactive (mature face), and the last saccule on the other side shows little or no reactivity (immature face); a gradient of reactivity occurs in between these saccules. The more likely explanation of the increase in staining intensity is that carbohydrate is synthesized and accumulates in saccules as they migrate toward the mature face. In many secretory cells, the mature face is associated with strongly stained secretory granules. Other structures stained are: (1) small vesicles, dense and multivesicular bodies, at least some of which are presumed to be lysosomal in nature; (2) cell coat; and (3) basement membrane. The evidence suggests that the Golgi saccules provide glycoproteins not only for secretion, but also for the needs of the lysosomal system as well as for incorporation into the cell coat and perhaps basement membrane. 相似文献

Low resistance junctions were demonstrated between cells in anthers from young buds of Lilium longiflorum Croft by standard electrophysiological techniques. Electrodes containing a dye were used to stain impaled cells for later histological identification. Electrical coupling is widespread; germinal cells are coupled to one another; coupling is also observed between somatic elements, and germinal and somatic cells are similarly interconnected. Cytoplasmic bridges are implicated in the first case; plasmodesmata are probably responsible for the interactions in the other two. Although the physiological role of the low resistance junctions shown here and present in embryonic animal tissues is unknown, the possible function of this form of intercellular communication in the development of the anther is discussed. 相似文献
