Rat tracheal explants maintained as organ cultures exhibited a normal mucociliary epithelium for at least 46 days in the presence of retinyl acetate. In the absence of vitamin A the explant epithelium became quiescent or underwent a metaplastic change to a keratinizing squamous epithelium. This process was accelerated if explants were derived from vitamin A-deficient animals. Autoradiographic examination showed that [3 H]glucosamine label accumulated in various cell types in the explant, but especially in the epithelium. It was found that the explants secreted mucous glycoproteins into the medium and that the production and biochemical characteristics of a specific mucin fraction were dependent upon the vitamin A status of the explant. 相似文献

Organ explants from the canine prostate with and without methylprednisolone pretreatment were cultivated for ten days in Trowell's T-8 medium or medium supplemented with testosterone and/or vitamin A. Upon termination of the experiments, explants were fixed and examined histologically. All glands from the most central section of each explant were graded according to epithelial type, and from these grades the proportion of acini with maintained columnar cells was calculated for each explant. Stromal cellular maintenance was also estimated. While a small proportion of explants from the vitamin-treated and methylprednisolone-pretreated groups showed epithelial maintenance, a combination of these treatments significantly increased such maintenance. Stromal maintenance was enhanced with methylprednisolone pretreatment but not by vitamin A. These results are in accord with the hypothesis that methylprednisolone acts to stabilize the lysosomal membrane, thus protecting tissue against the effects of ischemic shock. In protected explants vitamin A is able to maintain a columnar glandular epithelium. In a subsequent experiment a series of linoleic acid dosages was tested in the presence or absence of vitamin A. In neither case was this fatty acid of value in improving epithelial or stromal maintenance. 相似文献

The effects of culture conditions on the extent of Escherichia coli O157:H7 attaching-effacing (A/E) adherence in an adult bovine large intestinal mucosal explant model were assessed by three different morphometric methods. Measurement of the percent of tissue sections with A/E adherence and the number of foci of A/E adherence mm(-1) of surface epithelium was more sensitive than measurement of the percent of surface epithelium with A/E adherent bacteria for detection of treatment effects. Culture of bacterial inoculum in tryptic soy broth, incubation of explants in 5% CO(2), and rocking of explants on a platform rocker at 18 cycles min(-1) provided optimal conditions for A/E adherence. In future studies, the model may be used for preliminary testing of intervention strategies aimed at reduction of E. coli O157:H7 intestinal colonization of cattle. 相似文献

The ultrastructural characteristics of ciliary epithelium from bovine, pigmented rabbit, and fetal albino rabbit were studied in cultured explants. The tips of ciliary processes were cultured in plastic dishes with Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) containing 5% fetal bovine serum. More than half of the explants adhered to the plastic culture dish, and epithelial cells spread as monolayers within a few days. Initially the explant contains two layers, the outer (nonpigmented cells) and the inner (pigmented cells). Later the explant exhibits three layers: 1) outermost lightly pigmented flattened cells, 2) an outer layer of non-pigmented cells, and 3) an inner layer of densely pigmented cuboidal cells. The cells of the outermost layer are continuous with the cells of the inner layer. A narrow space lies between the outermost layer and the outer layer. The columnar cells in the outer layer contain well developed organelles but no pigment granules; they possess a basement membrane, lateral interdigitations, and junctional complexes near their apices. Numerous focal junctions and some ciliary channel-like structures were detected between the columnar cells of the outer layer and the cuboidal cells of the inner layer. The cuboidal cells of the inner layer are filled with pigment granules. These observations suggest that the columnar cells of the outer layer are nonpigmented epithelium, the cuboidal cells of the inner layer are pigmented epithelium, and the flattened cells in the outermost layer are derived from pigmented epithelium. 相似文献

Human esophageal, tracheal, and pancreatic ductal fragments were collected at autopsy after a postmortem interval of 12 hours or less and maintained in explant organ culture for 30 days. The viability and growth of the explants was assessed by morphology, LDH enzyme release, and cellular outgrowth. The viability and growth of the bronchial explant epithelium was directly related to the postmortem interval. Esophageal epithelial regeneration followed the desquamation of the superficial cell layers. Pancreatic epithelia appeared to grow more slowly and with less outgrowth than the other tissues. Epithelial cell growth along the explant surface and onto the culture dish appeared to proceed through the well-characterized process that follows cell injury, i.e., flattening, migration, replication, and differentiation. Thus, sufficient numbers of viable epithelial cells capable of regeneration were present in routine autopsy epithelium, but there was considerable variation from tissue to tissue and case to case. The most effective and accurate approach to follow when evaluating and predicting the growth and viability of these explants is by using a combination of morphologic, enzymatic and biologic assays. Errors in the interpretation of viability are possible when only one assay method is utilized. These tissues grown in explant organ culture are suitable for studies on the mechanism and response of epithelia to cell injury, recovery and wound healing.Abbreviations 4F-1G

Primary cultures of respiratory epithelium were produced as outgrowths from human fetal and adult tracheal and nasal polyp explants. Video recordings of the epithelial cell outgrowths were carried out after 5 days of culture and the ciliary beating frequency was analyzed by using a video technique. Uniform fields of differentiated ciliated cells were observed near the edge of the explant. In the transition region of the outgrowth from the explant to the outgrowth periphery, isolated ciliated cells were present, as well as cells with fused cilia. The ciliary beating frequency of the outgrowth of well-differentiated ciliated cells (13.5 +/- 1.4 Hz) was significantly higher (p less than 0.001) than the beating frequency of both the explant (11.9 +/- 0.7 Hz) and the ciliated cells with fused cilia (9.8 +/- 1.7 Hz). The same differentiation stages and functional activities were observed in the outgrowth cultures, whatever their origin. These in vitro models are comparable with each other and therefore could be useful for studying the ciliogenesis and functional activity of the human respiratory epithelium. 相似文献

Direct shoot regeneration was induced from leaf explants of Alstroemeria. The explants contained a leaf blade and a small
portion of stem node, which were cut from the erect shoots of in vitro multiplicated plantlets. The shoot regeneration capacity
of the excised leaf explants was significantly related to the position of the explant on the stem. The youngest explant which
was located closest to the shoot apex gave the highest response. A gradient response toward the shoot apex was observed in
percentage of shoot regeneration and in the number of shoots per regenerating explant. Histological studies revealed that
the shoots were initiated at the leaf axils. The origin of the adventitious buds was located at the epidermal layer of stem
peripheral cells.

The effects of vitamin A on the morphological expression of differentiation were studied in cell cultures of cutaneous keratinocytes from the newborn rat. The cells were first cultivated in a medium containing 0.11 mM calcium until a confluent monolayer had been formed. Stratification and terminal differentiation were then triggered by raising the calcium concentration of the medium to 1.96 mM ('normal' culture). The rise in the concentration of calcium was coupled with the addition of retinol (RL) of retinoic acid (RAC) to the medium to produce an excess of vitamin A (high-retinoid culture). Delipidized serum was used to produce a deficiency of vitamin A (low-retinoid culture). The tissue organization and the ultrastructure of the keratinocytes in the stratified culture were the same as those seen in conventional cultures and skin explants. These stratified cultures expressed the morphological features of the epidermis of intact skin. The addition of RL or RAC to the medium enhanced features characteristic of the secretory epithelium, such as the formation of an extensive endoplasmic reticulum, an enlargement of the Golgi zone, and an increase in the number of vacuoles. At the same time, the addition of retinoids diminished features characteristic of the terminal differentiation of the stratified squamous epithelium, such as stratification and keratinization. Deficiency of vitamin A in the medium resulted in a culture with many differentiated layers. The differentiated cells of the low-retinoid cultures contained densely packed tonofilaments and synthesized products that reacted with the monoclonal antibody AE2 that is specific for keratin peptides which are markers of epidermal differentiation. In the cell culture system that is presented here, an excess of retinoids redirected epithelial differentiation from a stratifying and keratinizing epithelium towards a secretory epithelium. This system is a useful tool for elucidating the mechanisms responsible for the effect of vitamin A on the differentiation of epithelial cells. 相似文献

A serum-free vaginal explant culture system was established to investigate the in vitro effect of estrogen on the growth of mouse vaginal epithelium. Vaginal explants were isolated from 40-day-old, ovariectomized BALB/cCrgl mice and cultured in a basal unsupplemented medium or in basal medium plus various doses of 17 beta-estradiol. Explants were processed for histology at the end of culture periods or were given 4-hour pulses of tritiated thymidine at various times and processed for autoradiography. Vaginal epithelium increased 3- to 5-fold in thickness and 2-fold in the number of epithelial cell layers during 72 hours of culture without estrogen; addition of estrogen did not significantly influence epithelial growth. Keratinization of vaginal epithelium occurred within 48 hours of culture in the absence of estrogen, and again addition of estrogen did not accelerate its appearance. Covering the explants with collagen decreased the estrogen-independent growth of vaginal epithelium. Autoradiography showed that ca. 70-90% of basal epithelial cells entered S phase during the initial 4 hours of culture and that this number declined rapidly after 48 hours to ca. 20%. Addition of 1.8 nM 17 beta-estradiol significantly decreased the labelling index of basal cells at 48 hours, but did not affect the labelling index at 24 and 72 hours. Stromal cells were not labelled at any time. Thus, DNA synthesis, cellular proliferation, and differentiation (keratinization) of vaginal epithelium in organ culture occurred without estrogen and were not stimulated by the addition of estrogen. 相似文献

Effects of age and orientation of the explant on callus induction and de novo shoot regeneration from cotyledonary leaf segments of Jatropha curcas were studied. The callus induction and shoot regeneration capacity of cotyledonary leaf segments were found significantly related to the age of the explants and their orientation in culture medium. The youngest explant, derived from the cotyledonary leaf of germinated seed induced the highest regeneration response as compared to one- and two-week-old explants. A gradient response with age of the explant was observed in percentage of callus induction, shoot regeneration from callus and the number of shoots per regenerating callus. The explants cultured with their abaxial side in medium showed significantly higher regeneration response. The youngest explant was found to be most amenable to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation as compared to older explants. The fact that callus induced from the edges of the explant followed by de novo shoot induction, and strong transient gus expression observed in the edges of the explant are significant for routine Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and generation of stable transgenic plants in J. curcas. 相似文献

Swine tracheal epithelium has been cultured as explants in a chemically defined medium for periods of up to 2 wk. The viability of the explants was shown by the preservation of the ultrastructural features of cells in the epithelial layer and by the active incorporation of radioactive glucosamine and sulfate into secreted mucin glycoproteins. The rate of secretion of mucin glycoprotein was about 0.035 mg per cm2 per d. After initial 24 h lag period was shown to be due to the equilibration of intracellular mucin glycoprotein pools with radioactive precursors. The rate of secretion of glycoprotein showed a linear dependence on the area of the explant, and maximal incorporation was observed at 200 microM glucosamine. A higher concentration of 35SO4, 1000 microM, was required for maximal incorporation of the precursor. Insulin at 0.1 to 1 microgram/ml increased the rate of secretion twofold, whereas 0.1 to 100 micrograms/ml of hydrocortisone and 0.1 to 100 micrograms/ml of epinephrine significantly decreased the rate of secretion. Vitamin A had little or no effect of normal trachea explants at low concentrations, and, at higher concentrations, 10(-5) M, it decreased the secretion of mucin glycoproteins. Vitamin A, at a concentration of 10(-9) M, increased the rate of synthesis of glycoprotein at least fourfold in trachea explants from vitamin A-deficient rats. Mucus secretions collected from the surface of swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were purified. The mucus was solubilized by reduction and carboxymethylation, and the high molecular weight mucin glycoproteins were purified by chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B columns under dissociating conditions in 2 M guanidine HCl. The mucin glycoproteins purified from swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were virtually indistinguishable. They showed the same properties when examined by gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation. The purified glycoproteins contained about 25% protein, and serine, threonine, and proline were the principal amino acids present. More than 80% of the carbohydride chains in both samples were released by treatment with alkaline borohydride. Nearly the same molar ratio of N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, fucose, sulfate, and sialic acid was found in both preparations. 相似文献

Summary A new simple, efficient and rapid in vitro method for mass clonal propagation of leek (Allium ampeloprasum L.) plants, using small (5 mm) flower stalk (peduncle) explants, was established. Adventitious shoots were produced from single subepidermal cells. A wide variation in the percentage of regenerating explants and number of regenerated shoots per explant between individual plants within one cultivar was observed. The concentration of the growth regulators 6-benzylaminopurine and -naphthalene-acetic acid influenced the percentage of regenerating explants and the average number of regenerated shoots per explant. A combination of 10 mg.l–1 6-benzylaminopurine and 10 mg.l–1 -naphthalene-acetic acid, resulted in a maximum percentage of regenerating explants and a high average number of regenerated shoots per explant. The percentage of regenerating explants and the average number of regenerated shoots per explant decreased with increasing flower stalk length (age). The basal explants gave both the highest percentage of regenerating explants and average number of regenerated shoots per explant. An average of 300 shoots per flower stalk was obtained for all plants, making this new in vitro method a powerful tool in hybrid leek breeding. 相似文献

The formation of neural retina (NR) from retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) of chick embryos in culture was investigated. In cultures of explants of PRE, depigmented, preretinal foci, consisting of 50 to 100 cells appeared in the pigmented central portion of the explant within three days. Then these depigmented cells increased rapidly in number and by about day 14 they formed characteristic spherical bodies, which were identified as a neural retinal-like structure (NR structure) by electron microscopic observations. Culture of explants of RPE from embryos of different stages showed that the capacity of embryonic RPE to form an NR structure decreased steadily with embryonic age from st. 24 to 27. At and after stage 27, no foci leading to the neural retinal differentiation were formed in the explants. Medium conditioned by cell cultures of chicken embryonic NR, RPE or chondrocytes had no effect on the formation of NR structures by explants of RPE. 相似文献

Recent studies have shown that persistent expression of FGF10 in the developing pancreas of transgenic mice results in enhanced and prolonged proliferation of pancreatic progenitors, pancreatic hyperplasia and impaired pancreatic differentiation. These studies have also suggested that FGF10 prevents the differentiation of pancreatic progenitors by maintaining persistent Notch signalling. Here, we provide experimental evidence sustaining the capacity of FGF10 to induce the proliferation of pancreatic precursors, while preventing their differentiation. Using explant cultures of E10.5 isolated dorsal pancreatic epithelium, we found that FGF10 maintained Notch activation and induced the expansion of pancreatic precursors while blocking their differentiation. In addition, by using a gamma-secretase inhibitor, we were able to down-regulate the expression of Hes1, a target gene of the Notch pathway in explant cultures of pancreatic epithelium treated with FGF10. In such explants, the effect of FGF10 on the proliferation and maintenance of pancreatic progenitors was suppressed. These results demonstrate that activation of the Notch pathway is required as a downstream mediator of FGF10 signalling in pancreatic precursor cells. 相似文献

Summary A protocol for in vitro propagation of Bixa orellana is described. Plants were regenerated from shoot apex and nodal explants on B5 medium supplemented with 4.9 μM 2-isopentenyl adenine. The multiplication factor of shoot apex explants was higher (nine shoots per explant) than that of
the nodal explants (five shoots per explant). Regardless of the position of the nodes, all the nodal explants gave similar
responses. However, the size of the nodal explant was an important factor in producing multiple shoots: 0.5 cm nodal explants
produced the maximum multiple shoots. Regenerated shoots from shoot apex explants rooted best on MS medium supplemented with
0.05 μM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). whereas shoots regenerated from nodal explants needed 2.7 μM NAA for rooting. Eighty per cent survival of in vivo transferred plants occurred on the best potting substrate, coco peat. Since the multiplication factor was nine per explant,
this protocol can be use for commercial microprogation. However, the regeneration capacity declined after 10 subcultures.
Approximately, 3350 rooted plants could be generated in 10 mo. after eight subcultures, from one shoot with a shoot apex and
four nodes. 相似文献

Lumbar spinal cord explants, harvested from neonatal rat pups aged between postnatal day 0 (P0) and P6, were cultured for a period of 48 hrs in the chemically defined medium R(12) on a poly-ethylene-imine (PEI) and on poly-D-lysin (PDL) coated surface. The outgrowth outside the explant was quantified. Lumbar explants from the same rat and embedded in a collagen matrix, and cortical explants from a P0 rat were used as controls. Statistical analysis demonstrated a clear relation between age-at-explantation and the number of neurites in the corona surrounding the explant. The number of outgrowing neurites decreased sharply with age-at-explantation. The average number of neurites per explant obeyed to the expression log (n) = -0.736x + 3.294 on PEI, and log (n) = -0.721x + 2.295 on PDL; x epsilon in [P0 - P6] (n, the number of neurites per explant; x, the age-at-explantation expressed in postnatal days). A similar observed age-related decrease of outgrowth has been described when culturing the lumbar explant inside a collagen matrix. The phenomenon appears to be an intrinsic property of the explant. We review growth inhibitory properties in different models and propose that the phenomenon occurs here at the interface explant-world. 相似文献

In vitro culture of Venus fly-trap (Dionaea muscipula) was initiated using flower stalk explants. Activated charcoal was required for bud initiation, but omitted in the subculture
of regenerated plantlets. Regenerated plants were subsequently used as explant source for investigations concerning effects
of source of tissue, etiolation, orientation and illumination of leaf explants on plant regeneration. Etiolation of source
plantlets increased the rate of regeneration from explants and decreased explant failure. Generally, adventitious buds developed
at the adaxial side and proximal end of an explant. However, when explants were incubated in the dark, 20–30% of bud initiation
occurred at the distal end. The site of shoot regeneration on a leaf explant was affected by both illumination and orientation
of explants. Placing an explant adaxial side up resulted in the highest rate of regeneration. The most effective condition
for plantlet regeneration was found with etiolated petioles incubated with the adaxial side facing the light.

The relative importance of genotype and explant, and their interactionsfor in vitro plant regeneration via both organogenesis and somaticembryogenesis in Solanum melongena (eggplant) has been studied.Hypocotyl, cotyledon and leaf explants of four commerciallygrown Indian cultivars, Pusa Purple Long, Long White Cluster,Pusa Kranti, and Pusa Purple Cluster were used in the study.A combination of benzyladen-ine (11.1 µM) and indoleaceticacid (2.9 µM) was found to be optimum for shoot regeneration.Naphthalene acetic acid induced embryogenesis in all the threeexplants; 32.2µM was optimum for hypocotyl explants while10.7µM yielded maximum number of somatic embryos fromcotyledon and leaf explants. Genotype, explant and genotype-explantinteraction had highly significant effects on both organogenesisand somatic embryogenesis with genotype exerting maximum effecton both these processes. Pusa Purple Long was found to be themost responsive genotype for regeneration of both adventitiousshoots and somatic embryos among the cultivars. Among the explants,hypocotyls yielded the maximum number of adventitious shootsfollowed by cotyledons and leaves. The embryogenic responseof leaves and cotyledons was, however, significantly higherthan that of hypocotyl explants. Significant differences formorphogenetic potential were also observed within a single explant(hypocotyl). There was a basipetal gradient for organogenesis(i.e. decrease in number of shoots from base to apex) whilethe terminal hypocotyl segments showed better embryogenic potentialthan the median segments.

Human esophageal epithelium obtained from intermediate autopsies (<12 h) was maintained as cell and explant cultures. In order to develop a serum-free, defined media culture model, several medias and additives were evaluated. The viability and differentiation of the epithelial cells cultured with serum-free, Keratinocyte Growth Media (KGM, Clonetics Co., San Diego, CA) was improved over that of esophageal cells and explants cultured in either serum-supplemented CMRL 1066 (OCM), serum-free additive-supplemented CMRL 1066, or cimetidine-supplemented CMRL 1066. The KGM component EGF was determined to be trophic for esophagus cells on the basis of findings of increased 3H-TdR tabelling in KGM cultures when compared to control cells grown in KGM without EGF (KBM). The morphologic pattern of the cytoskeletal proteins actin, keratin, and vimentin were characterized in isolated cell populations. The intermediate filaments, keratin, and vimentin were co-expressed in these epithelial cells. Esophageal explant viability, differentiation, and outgrowth from 15 cases were also evaluated in dishes coated with basement membrane associated proteins. Explants cultured in these dishes were equally well-preserved and differentiated. There were no significant differences in the explant histology when there was protein coating of the culture dishes, although one case showed improved outgrowth with laminin coating. A main advantage for using this culture system is that the same medium (KGM) can be used for both the culture of explants and isolated epithelial cells. Future applications of this model include determining: (1) the effect different concentrations of EGF and calcium in the media will have on esophageal proliferation and differentiation, and (2) the role of different basement membrane associated proteins on the plating efficiency of either isolated or outgrowth epithelial esophageal cells.This is publication #2544 from the Pathobiology Laboratory. 相似文献

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes hairy leukoplakia (HL), a benign lesion of oral epithelium that occurs primarily in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated immunodeficiency. However, the mechanisms of EBV infection of oral epithelium are poorly understood. Analysis of HL tissues shows a small number of EBV-positive intraepithelial macrophages and dendritic/Langerhans cells. To investigate a role for these cells in spreading EBV to epithelial cells, we used tongue and buccal explants infected ex vivo with EBV. We showed that EBV first infects submucosal CD14(+) monocytes, which then migrate into the epithelium and spread virus to oral epithelial cells, initiating productive viral infection within the terminally differentiated spinosum and granulosum layers. Incubation of EBV-infected monocytes and oral explants with antibodies to CCR2 receptor and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 prevented entry of monocytes into the epithelium and inhibited EBV infection of keratinocytes. B lymphocytes played little part in the spread of EBV to keratinocytes in our explant model. However, cocultivation of EBV-infected B lymphocytes with uninfected monocytes in vitro showed that EBV may spread from B lymphocytes to monocytes. Circulating EBV-positive monocytes were detected in most HIV-infected individuals, consistent with a model in which EBV may be spread from B lymphocytes to monocytes, which then enter the epithelium and initiate productive viral infection of keratinocytes. 相似文献
