Biosynthesis of chick type VI collagen. II. Processing and secretion in fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The biosynthesis of type VI collagen was studied in "matrix-free" chick embryo smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Omission of ascorbate from the culture affected to a great extent the secretion in fibroblasts but had a very minor effect on smooth muscle cells. Quantitative analysis of the secretion process in continuous time course and in pulse-chase experiments confirmed that fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells secreted type VI collagen with the same chain composition but with different kinetics: after 4 h of chase more than 60% of the labeled type VI collagen was present in the culture medium of fibroblasts, whereas at the same time interval less than 25% was secreted by smooth muscle cells. The different kinetics depends on intrinsic properties of the cells, since it was detected also in adherent cells. However, even in fibroblasts, secretion of type VI collagen was much slower than secretion of fibronectin, of which more than 50% was already in the cell medium after 1 h of chase. Treatment of the cells with inhibitors of hydroxylation and glycosylation caused a shift in mobility that revealed a size heterogeneity in the Mr = 260,000 subunit. No evidence of processing was observed in chick cells for any of the subunits that were synthesized and secreted uncleaved. In addition, after several days of chase the Mr of the subunits of type VI collagen isolated from the matrix remained unchanged, thus excluding that in the chick even a partial or incomplete processing takes place. 相似文献

The rhythmic movements of fetal membranes in chick and reptile embryos were studied to explore the developmental role of the extra-embryonic motor activity. In the snakes Lamprophis fuliginosus and Elaphe radiata, rhythmic contractions of amnion inside the developing egg were recorded from the 11th incubation day until pre-hatching stages (ca. day 60-72). The duration of these contractions averaged 2.02+/-0.27 min. The frequency ranged from 2 to 6 per 10 min and averaged 4.61+/-0.57 per 10 min. A tendency of frequency to increase toward the end of embryogenesis was observed. Lowering the temperature from 28 to 20 degrees C significantly decreased the frequency of amnion contractions to 2.85+/-0.91 per 10 min. The isolated snake amnion retained its capacity for spontaneous contraction. Noradrenaline inhibited, acetylcholine stimulated and serotonin did not affect the rhythmic activity of the isolated snake amnion. Similar effects were found when these agents were applied into the snake amniotic cavity. In the chick, yolk sac rhythmic contractions were recorded from the fifth until the 12th incubation days. The duration of these contractions ranged from 15 to 60 s, their frequency averaged 11.8+/-3.18 per 10 min and depended on temperature. The low temperature threshold was approximately 30 degrees C. After surgical removal of the amnion and embryo, the yolk sac continued contracting inside the egg. The yolk sac rhythmic contractions likely participate in the space movement of the embryo inside the egg during embryogenesis. 相似文献

The effect of noradrenaline (NA) on DNA replication of cultured smooth muscle cells (SMC) isolated from rat aorta was examined. It was found that 10 microM NA significantly increased (approximately by twofold) the frequency of tetraploid cells. Cultivation of 4C cells isolated by flow cytometric cell sorting revealed that they were true polyploid cells. This receptor-mediated effect of NA was blocked only by simultaneous action of alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists. SMC polyploidization was also stimulated by simultaneous application of direct activators of "second messenger" systems forskolin and phorbolmyristate-acetate. Thus, NA may be one of mediators of the "hypertensive" response of vessel wall SMC, which probably occurs due to synergism of two second messenger systems. 相似文献

Summary FITC-labelled antibodies against native actin from chicken gizzard smooth muscle (Gröschel-Stewart et al., 1976) have been used to stain cultures of guinea-pig vas deferens and taenia coli, rabbit thoracic aorta, rat ventricle and chick skeletal muscle. The I-band of myofibrils of cardiac muscle cells and skeletal muscle myotubes stains intensely. In isolated smooth muscle cells, the staining is located exclusively on long, straight, non-interrupted fibrils which almost fill the cell. Smooth muscle cells which have undergone morphological dedifferentiation to resemble fibroblasts with both phase-contrast microscopy and electronmicroscopy still stain intensely with the actin antibody. In those muscle cultures which contain some fibroblasts or endothelial cells, the non-muscle cells are not stained with the actin antibody even when the reactions are carried out at 37° C for 1 h or after glycerination. Prefusion skeletal muscle myoblasts also do not stain with this antibody.It is concluded that the actin antibody described in this report is directed against a particular sequence of amino acids in muscle actin which is not homologous with non-muscle actin. The usefulness of this antibody in determining the origin of cells in certain pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis is discussed.This work was supported by the Life Insurance Medical Research Fund of Australia and New Zealand, the National Heart Foundation of Australia, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Wellcome Trust (London).

The regulation of skeletal muscle genes was examined in heterokaryons formed by fusing differentiated chick skeletal myocytes to four different rat neural cell lines. Highly enriched populations of heterokaryons isolated using irreversible biochemical inhibitors were labeled with [35S]methionine and analyzed on two-dimensional gels. Rat skeletal myosin light chains were induced in three of the four cell combinations. The one exception, the S-20 cholinergic cell line, not only failed to synthesize rat muscle proteins but also suppressed chick myogenic functions. Experiments with heterokaryons between chick myocytes and cells from whole embryonic rat brain cultures demonstrated that rat skeletal myosin light chains are inducible in normal diploid neural cells as well as in established neural cell lines. In contrast, dividing cell hybrids between rat myoblasts and rat glial cells were nonmyogenic. These results demonstrate that although neural cells may contain factors that prevent the decision to differentiate along myogenic lines in cell hybrids, most neural cell lines do not dominantly suppress the expression of muscle structural genes in heterokaryons. Furthermore, the skeletal myosin light chain genes in most neural cell lines are regulated by a mechanism that permits them to respond to putative chick skeletal myocyte-inducing factors. The "open" state of these myogenic genes may explain many of the reports of apparent "transdifferentiation" to muscle in neural cultures and neural tumors. 相似文献

Summary Embryonic development of the avian iris muscle was studied by light and electron microscopy in order to clarify the origin of the iridial skeletal muscle cells. In normal development of the domestic duck, chick, and quail, the muscle bundles appearing in the iris at stage 35 consisted solely of smooth muscle cells. Undifferentiated cells appeared at stage 36, and finally skeletal muscle cells were observed at stage 37. This sequence suggests that stromal mesenchymal cells migrate into the muscle bundles to become skeletal muscle cells.Tissue culture of whole indes removed from duck embryos at stages 30 through 34 produced skeletal muscle cells while culture of isolated iridial epithelia removed at stages 31 and 32 did not. Removal of the midbrain region of duck embryos at stage 10 frequently produced severe disorganization of the eye concomitant with craniofacial deformities typical of a neural crest mesenchymal defect. These severely disorganized eyes were devoid of iridial skeletal muscle cells. These results also suggest mesenchymal origin of iridial skeletal muscle cells. 相似文献

Studies have been made of the spontaneous contractions of the amnion and acetylcholine sensitivity of amniotic membrane in 8--14-day chick embryos. In 12--14-day embryos, the spontaneous rhythmic contractions were rather rare as compared to those in 8--9-day ones, their frequency being also lower. On the basis of kinetic analysis, it was concluded that both the dissociation constant (K) and the value of Pmax do not exhibit significant changes for tonotropic reaction from the 8th to the 14th day and for chronotropic reaction--from the 8th to the 10th day of incubation. After the 10th day of incubation, dose-effect chronotropic reaction not expressed. The spontaneous activity of the amnion and acetylcholine sensitivity of the amniotic membrane depend on the temperature being maximal at 38 degrees C. Possible regulatory mechanisms of contractile activity in chick amnion are discussed. 相似文献

The authors describe a method of cultivation and growth peculiarities in a culture of beating cells of the human embryo heart. The influence of homologous anticardiac antibodies and of the ambrosia allergen antiambrosia antibody complex on the contracting cells of the heart of chick and duck embryos was studied in a culture. Pulsation of the cardiac cells was delayed and weakened under the effect of these factors; their vacuolization developed. 相似文献

Studies have been made on the motor activity of amnion and chick embryo from the 5th to the 14th day of development. Between the 5th and the 8th day of embryogenesis, when embryonic movements are rather poor, amnion contractions are mainly observed, their frequency being maximum to the 7th day. On further development (8-14 days), with the increase in the mass of the limbs which account for embryonic movements (body extremities), the increase in the intensity of their motor activity is paralleled by the decrease in the frequency of amnion contractions. Therefore, during the intensive growth and development of mainly frontal part of the embryo, the deficiency of motor activity of rather undeveloped body and extremities is presumably compensated by temporal motor activity of the amnion. Between the 8th and the 10th day, synchronous movements of embryo and amnion are observed. Possible mechanisms of synchronization are discussed. 相似文献

The effects of embryonic heart RNA extracted from 18-day chick embryos were studied both on the isolated parts of the chick blastoderm and on the isolated primitive tubular heart of the early chick embryo. The embryonic heart RNA accelerated in vitro the beating of the heart-forming area and the pulsing of the primordial heart organ. In addition, a phenomenon of cardiac transformation was observed. 相似文献

An exonuclease which degrades native deoxyribonucleic acid at pH 9.2 was induced in chick embryo fibroblast cultures and in human amnion cells by infection with cowpox virus. Highly purified chick embryo interferon suppressed the induction of the enzyme in the homologous cell system but not in the human amnion cell cultures. "Mock" interferon prepared from uninfected chicken eggs and purified in the same manner as biologically active interferon preparations had no effect on the induction of the enzyme. 相似文献

Neurotransmitter receptors are formed during chick embryo development in the amnion, an avascular extraembryonic membrane devoid of innervation. Carbachol induces phasic and tonic contractions mediated by M3 cholinoceptors in an amniotic membrane strip isolated from 11–14-day-old chick embryo. The carbachol effect on the amnion contractile activity was studied in normal physiological salt solution, during depolarization by K+, exposure to nifedipine, and in calcium-free medium. Voltage-dependent and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels as well as calcium from intracellular stores are involved in the contractile response to carbachol. Phasic contractions of the amnion are mainly induced by calcium ions entering through voltage-dependent calcium channels, while tonic contractions are also maintained by receptor-operated channels. Ca2+-activated potassium channels can serve as a negative feedback factor in regulation of the amnion contractile responses. 相似文献

Specific developmental changes in smooth muscle were studied in gizzards obtained from 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, 16-, 18-, and 20-day chick embryos and from 1- and 7-day posthatch chicks. Myoblasts were actively replicating in tissue from 6-day embryos. Cytoplasmic dense bodies (CDBs) first appeared at Embryonic Day 8 (E8) and were recognized as patches of increased electron density that consisted of actin filaments (AFs), intermediate filaments (IFs), and cross-connecting filaments (CCFs). Although the assembly of CDBs was not synchronized within a cell, the number, size, and electron density of CDBs increased as age increased. Membrane-associated dense bodies (MADBs) also could be recognized at E8. The number and size of MADBs increased as age increased, especially after E16. Filaments with the diameter of thick filaments first appeared at E12. Smooth muscle cells were able to divide as late as E20. The axial intermediate filament bundle (IFB) could first be identified in 1-day posthatch cells and became larger and more prominent in 7-day posthatch cells. Immunogold labeling of 1- and 7-day posthatch cells with anti-desmin showed that the IFB contained desmin IFs. The developmental events during this 23-day period were classified into seven stages, based primarily on the appearance and the growth of contractile and cytoskeletal elements. These stages are myoblast proliferation, dense body appearance, thick filament appearance, dense body growth, muscle cell replication, IFB appearance, and appearance of adult type cells. Smooth muscle cells in each stage express similar developmental characteristics. The mechanism of assembly of myofilaments and cytoskeletal elements in smooth muscle in vivo indicates that myofilaments (AFs and thick filaments) and filament attachment sites (CDBs and MADBs) are assembled before the axial IFB, a major cytoskeletal element. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to determine whether chick B cells possess a specific transport system for taurine. The Bursa of Fabricius was isolated from newly hatched to 6-week-old chicks and an enriched fraction (86.2%) of B cells was isolated. The chick B cells maintained a high intracellular taurine concentration (0.8-1.12 mM) that decreased with age. The B cells exhibited carrier-mediated and simple diffusion uptake components, but only the carrier-mediated component increased with age. Inhibitor studies indicated taurine uptake was sodium and energy dependent. The data demonstrate that chick B cells possess a specialized taurine transport system and the activity of this system changes during posthatch B cell development. 相似文献

The biosynthesis and accumulation of the myosin heavy chain (MHC) peptide has been examined in embryonic chick skeletal muscle cultures under conditions of normal or arrested cell fusion. When compared with primary chick fibroblasts, the myogenic cells accumulated significantly more MHC, even while mononucleated. Electron microscopy of the fusion-blocked cultures revealed the presence of myosinlike thick filaments in the myoblasts. It is concluded that cell fusion is not a prerequisite for myosin accumulation or myofilament assembly during embryonic chick muscle differentiation. 相似文献

We describe a technique for examining unidirectional ion movements in suspensions of enzymatically disaggregated smooth muscle cells derived from stomach muscle of the toad. This technique has been used to analyze the movement of 42K across these cells. This analysis was greatly simplified by the finding that the cells were in a steady state with respect to K+ distribution after isolation. The potassium contents of the isolated cells were identical to those of intact smooth muscle (131 mM/liter intracellular fluid) and stable for over 4 h; moreover, the unidirectional influx and efflux rates were equal. An additional simplification was provided by the finding that virtually all the K+ exchanges in a manner predicted for a simple two-compartment system consisting of an extracellular and an intracellular space. Transmembrane K+ flux in these cells averaged 1.2 pmol.cm-2.s-1 at room temperature. A large portion (approximately 80%) of 42K influx appeared to be mediated by a saturable transport system with an apparent Km of 0.6 mM and an apparent Vmax of 1.3 pmol.cm-2.s-1. The calculated resting membrane permeability to K+ in these isolated smooth muscle cells, assuming a membrane potential of -50 mV, was 2.9 X 10(-8) cm/s. The calculated gK+ was 2.7 mumho/cm2 constituting only a small fraction of the total membrane conductance as measured electrophysiologically. The latter finding suggests that the resting membrane potential in the isolated cells must be determined by ions in addition to K+. We propose that these methods for studying ion movements in smooth muscle should aid in unraveling the mechanisms responsible for controlling the distribution of ions both at rest, as in the present study, as well as in response to neurotransmitters. 相似文献

The present communication describes improved methods for isolating and plating beating heart cells from neonatal rats using collagenase and collagen-coated petri dishes. The amplitude and frequency of contraction are continuously and simultaneously measured under well defined conditions and during prolonged periods of time with a highly sensitive and thermostated instrument. Additions, e.g. drugs and toxic agents, are made through an accessory pump system that involves extensive dilution of the added compound with medium; aliquots of medium can be withdrawn for estimation of metabolites. The system described is reliable and relatively inexpensive and allows a more extensive use of isolated heart cells, especially in studies of heart functions where small changes in amplitude and frequency of beating during prolonged periods of time are important. 相似文献

Somite-derived cells replace ventral aortic hemangioblasts and provide aortic smooth muscle cells of the trunk 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have previously shown that endothelial cells of the aortic floor give rise to hematopoietic cells, revealing the existence of an aortic hemangioblast. It has been proposed that the restriction of hematopoiesis to the aortic floor is based on the existence of two different and complementary endothelial lineages that form the vessel: one originating from the somite would contribute to the roof and sides, another from the splanchnopleura would contribute to the floor. Using quail/chick orthotopic transplantations of paraxial mesoderm, we have traced the distribution of somite-derived endothelial cells during aortic hematopoiesis. We show that the aortic endothelium undergoes two successive waves of remodeling by somitic cells: one when the aortae are still paired, during which the initial roof and sides of the vessels are renewed; and a second, associated to aortic hematopoiesis, in which the hemogenic floor is replaced by somite endothelial cells. This floor thus appears as a temporary structure, spent out and replaced. In addition, the somite contributes to smooth muscle cells of the aorta. In vivo lineage tracing experiments with non-replicative retroviral vectors showed that endothelial cells do not give rise to smooth muscle cells. However, in vitro, purified endothelial cells acquire smooth muscle cells characteristics. Taken together, these data point to the crucial role of the somite in shaping the aorta and also give an explanation for the short life of aortic hematopoiesis. 相似文献

Transformation of amnion epithelium into skin and hair follicles 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

There is increasing interest into the extent to which epithelial differentiation can be altered by mesenchymal influence, and the molecular basis for these changes. In this study, we investigated whether amnion epithelium could be transformed into skin and hair follicles by associating E12.5 to E14.5 mouse amnion from the ROSA 26 strain, with mouse embryonic hair-forming dermis from a wild-type strain. These associations were able to produce fully formed hair follicles with associated sebaceous glands, and skin epidermis. Using beta-galactosidase staining we were able to demonstrate that the follicular epithelium and skin epidermis, but not the associated dermal cells, originated from the amnion. As Noggin and Sonic hedgehog (Shh) were recently shown to be required for early chick ventral skin formation, and able to trigger skin and feather formation from chick amnion, we associated cells engineered to produce those two factors with mouse amnion. In a few cases, we obtained hair buds connected to a pluristratified epithelium; however, the transformation of the amnion was impeded by uncontrolled fibroblastic proliferation. In contrast to an earlier report, none of our control amnion specimens autonomously transformed into skin and hair follicles, indicating that specific influences are necessary to elicit follicle formation from the mouse amnion. The ability to turn amnion into skin and its appendages has practical potential for the tissue engineering of replacement skin, and related biotechnological approaches. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor inhibits elastin synthesis in chick aortic smooth muscle cells. The inhibitory effect was dose-dependent with a ninety percent reduction at 100 ng/ml and time-dependent with at least 6h lag phase for the expression of the effect. In contrast, collagen synthesis remained constant. The degree of inhibition in elastin synthesis was parallel to the decrease in the steady-state levels of elastin mRNA. These results indicated that epidermal growth factor specifically inhibits elastin synthesis and will be a useful suppressor for elastogenesis under pathological conditions. 相似文献
