Maternal starvation inhibits fetal brain development during late gestation in the rat. To determine whether intrinsic or extrinsic factors might be the principal contributor to altered growth, brain cells from 20 day fetuses were cultured in a 96 well plate with MEM and 10% adult rat serum. Tissue growth was monitored by spectrophotometric measurement of the mitochondrial reduction of a chromagen 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). After 1, 4 or 6 days incubation, MTT activity in non confluent cultures was shown to be directly related to tissue mass. When fetal brain cell cultures were incubated with 1% and 10% concentrations of adult rat serum, an 11-fold increase in MTT activity paralleled a 15-fold increase in tritiated thymidine incorporation. The impact of maternal starvation on fetal brain cell growth was examined by measuring MTT activity in fetal brain cells from fed and starved mothers. When cultures were incubated for 6 days with graded concentrations of fed adult serum (1.25–10%), the MTT response was slightly but consistently lower in cells from starved when compared with cells from fed mothers. By contrast, a marked difference in MTT activity which was paralleled by a lower DNA content became apparent when fetal rat brain cells were incubated with starved adult serum. Fetal serum and adult male serum were found to support growth equally well, while incubation of fetal brain cells with maternal sera resulted in lower MIT values than with the corresponding fetal sera. When cells were incubated with fetal sera pooled from starved mothers, MTT activity was decreased by 42 to 45%. A relative decrease in MTT activity was also apparent when cells were exposed to sera from starved mothers. Graded concentrations of starved fetal serum (2.5–10%) produced an increase in MTT activity that was consistently lower than similar concentrations of fed fetal serum, a finding suggesting a decrease in growth factors. Mixing fasted with fed serum did not correct the diminished growth, and indicated that an inhibitor might also be functioning to restrict growth. These findings therefore suggest that the principal determinants of diminished fetal brain growth during maternal starvation are not only intrinsic to the cells but are importantly related to the altered extrinsic factors in the fetal circulation. 相似文献

Methylation of DNA is the most commonly studied epigenetic mechanism of developmental competence and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Previous studies of epigenetics and the SCNT procedures have examined the effects of different culture media on donor cells and reconstructed embryos, and the methylation status of specific genes in the fetus or live offspring. Here we used a microarray based approach to identify the methylation profiles of SCNT donor cells including three clonal porcine fetal fibroblast-like cell sublines and adult somatic cells selected from kidney and mammary tissues. The methylation profiles of the donor cells were then analyzed with respect to their ability to direct development to the blastocyst stage after nuclear transfer. Clonal cell lines A2, A7, and A8 had blastocyst rates of 11.7%a, 16.7%ab, and 20.0%b, respectively (ab P 相似文献

Regenerated bovine fetal fibroblast cells were derived from a fetus cloned from an adult cow and passaged every 2-3 days. Serum starvation was performed by culturing cells in DMEM/F-12 supplemented with 0.5% FCS for 1-3 days. In vitro matured bovine oocytes were enucleated by removing the first polar body and a small portion of cytoplasm containing the metaphase II spindle. Cloned embryos were constructed by electrofusion of fetal fibroblast cells with enucleated bovine oocytes, electrically activated followed by 5 h culture in 10 microg/mL cycloheximide + 5 microg/mL cytochalasin B, and then cultured in a B2 + vero-cell co-culture system. A significantly higher proportion of fused embryos developed to blastocysts by day 7 when nuclei were exposed to oocyte cytoplasm prior to activation for 120 min (41.2%) compared to 0-30 min (28.2%, p < 0.01). Grade 1 blastocyst rates were 85.1% and 73.3%, respectively. The mean number of nuclei per grade 1 blastocyst was significantly greater for 120 min exposure (110.63 +/- 7.19) compared to 0-30 min exposure (98.67 +/- 7.94, p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in both blastocyst development (37.4% and 30.6%) and mean number of nuclei per blastocyst (103.59 +/- 6.6 and 107.00 +/- 7.12) when serum starved or nonstarved donor cells were used for nuclear transfer (p > 0.05). Respectively, 38.7%, 29.4%, and 19.9% of the embryos reconstructed using donor cells at passage 5-10, 11-20 and 21-36 developed to the blastocyst stage. Of total blastocysts, the percentage judged to be grade 1 were 80.9%, 79.2%, and 54.1%, and mean number of nuclei per grade 1 blastocysts, were 113.18 +/- 9.06, 100.04 +/- 6.64, and 89.25 +/- 6.19, respectively. The proportion of blastocyst percentage of grade 1 blastocysts, and mean number of nuclei per grade 1 blastocyst decreased with increasing passage number of donor cells (p < 0.05). These data suggest that regenerated fetal fibroblast cells support high blastocyst development and embryo quality following nuclear transfer. Remodeling and reprogramming of the regenerated fetal fibroblast nuclei may be facilitated by the prolonged exposure of the nuclei to the enucleated oocyte cytoplasm prior to activation. Serum starvation of regenerated fetal cells is not beneficial for embryo development to blastocyst stage. Regenerated fetal fibroblast cells can be maintained up to at least passage 36 and still support development of nuclear transfer embryos to the blastocyst stage. 相似文献

Development rates of male bovine nuclear transfer embryos derived from adult and fetal cells 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

This study compared the nuclear transfer (NT) embryo development rates of adult and fetal cells within the same genotype. The adult fibroblast cells were obtained from a 21-yr-old Brahman bull. The fetal cells were derived from a Day 40 NT fetus previously cloned using cells from the Brahman bull. Overall, similar numbers of blastocysts developed from both adult (53 of 190; 28%) and fetal (39 of 140; 28%) donor cells. Improved blastocyst development rates were observed when fetal cells were serum-starved (serum-fed 12% vs. serum-starved 43%; P < 0.01) whereas there was no similar benefit when adult cells were serum-starved (both serum-fed and serum-starved 28%). Day 30 pregnancy rates were similar for blastocysts derived from adult (6 of 26; 23%) or fetal (5 of 32; 16%) cells. Day 90 pregnancy rates were 3 of 26 for adult and 0 of 32 for the fetal cell lines. One viable bull calf derived from a 21-yr-old serum-starved adult skin fibroblast was born in August 1999. In summary, somatic NT embryo development rates were similar whether adult or fetal cells, from the same genotype, were used as donor cells. Serum starvation of these adult donor cells did not improve development rates of NT embryos to blastocyst, but when fetal cells were serum-starved, there was a significant increase in development to blastocyst. 相似文献

Improved clonal and nonclonal growth of human,rat and bovine adrenocortical cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary This report describes the development of a culture system for long-term growth and cloning of human fetal adrenocortical cells.
Optimal conditions for stimulating clonal growth were determned by testing the efficacy of horse serum (HS), fetal bovine
serum (FBS), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibronectin, and a combination of growth factors,
UltroSer G, in stimulating growth from low density. Optimal conditions for clonal growth were achieved using fibronectin-coated
dishes and DME/F12 medium with 10% FEBS, 10% HS, 2% UltroSer G, and 100 ng/ml FGF or 100 pM EGF. Conditions for growth at clonal density were found to be optimal for growth of early passage, nonclonal cultures at
higher densities. The improved growth conditions used for cloning were shown to allow continued long-term growth of nonclonal
human adrenocortical cells without fibroblasts overgrowth. All cells in cultures grown in HS, FBS, and UltroSer G had morphologic
characteristics of adrenocortical cells, whereas cells grown in FBS only rapidly became overgrown with fibroblasts. Clonal
and nonclonal early passage human adrenocortical cells had smilar mitogenic responses to FGF and EGF. Whereas FGF, EGF, and
UltroSer G showed similar stimulation of DNA synthesis and clonal growth in human adrenocortical cells and human adrenal gland
fibroblasts, the tumor promoter 12-O-teradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate stimulated growth only in adrenocortical cells and was strongly inhibitory to growth in fibroblasts.
In both cell types, forskolin inhibited DNA synthesis. Human adrenocortical cell cultures were functional and synthesized
cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. The improved growth conditions for clonal growth of
human adrenocortial cells also provided optimal conditions for long-term growth of cultured rat adrenocortical cells and ncreased
the cloning efficiency of cultured bovine adrenocortical cells.

Production of cloned pigs by nuclear transfer of preadipocytes established from adult mature adipocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The aim of the present study was to determine whether porcine preadipocytes can be efficient donor cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in pigs. Primary culture of porcine preadipocytes was established by de-differentiating mature fat cells taken from an adult pig. The cell cycle of the preadipocytes could be synchronized by serum starvation for 1 day, with a higher efficiency than control fetal fibroblasts. Incidence of premature chromosome condensation following nuclear transfer (NT) of preadipocytes was as high as that observed after NT with fetal fibroblasts. In vitro developmental rate of the NT embryos reconstructed with preadipocyte was equivalent to that of the fetal fibroblast derived embryos. Transfer of 732 NT embryos with preadipocytes to five recipients gave rise to five cloned piglets. These data demonstrate that preadipocyites collected from an adult pig are promising nuclear donor cells for pig cloning. 相似文献

Electroporation, the reversible breakdown of cell membranes caused by a high-voltage discharge, is a rapid, simple, and efficient method for introducing DNA into mammalian cells. An instrument for electroporation which permits the high-voltage discharge waveform to be varied with respect to rise time, peak voltage, and fall time is described. The uptake and expression of SV40 DNA following electroporation of two cell types, a human carcinoma-derived cell line, HEp-2, and a human lymphoblastoid cell line, 721, depended on the peak voltage and the fall time of the voltage discharge. The electronic parameters which produced optimum DNA transfer, however, differed for the two cell types. DNA as large as 150 kb was introduced into cells by electroporation. Cells can be electroporated in either phosphate-buffered saline or culture medium containing fetal bovine serum, and the efficiency of DNA transfer does not vary with cell densities from 10(6) to 2 X 10(7)/0.5 ml. Exposing the cells to multiple voltage discharges did not improve DNA transfer. DNA has been introduced by electroporation into all cell types tested, including human carcinoma-derived cell lines, human lymphoblastoid cell lines, human fibroblast strains, and primary human lymphocytes. To obtain maximal DNA transfer by this method, however, one must optimize the peak voltage and fall time of the discharge waveform for each cell type. 相似文献

The development of efficient transfection protocols for livestock cells is crucial for implementation of cell-based transgenic methods to produce genetically modified animals. We synthetized fully deacylated linear 22, 87 and 217 kDa polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles and compared their transfection efficiency and cytotoxicity to commercial branched 25 kDa PEI and linear 58 kDa poly(allylamine) hydrochloride. We studied the effect of PEI size and presence of serum on transfection efficiency on primary cultures of bovine fetal fibroblasts and established cells lines (HEK 293 and Hep G2). We found that transfection efficiency was affected mainly by polymer/pDNA ratio and DNA concentration and in less extent by PEI MW. In bovine fibroblast, preincubation of PEI nanoparticles with fetal bovine serum (FBS) greatly increased percentage of cells expressing the transgene (up to 82%) while significantly decreased the polymer cytotoxic effect. 87 and 217 kDa PEI rendered the highest transfection rates in HEK 293 and Hep G2 cell lines (>50% transfected cells) with minimal cell toxicity. In conclusion, our results indicate that fully deacylated PEI of 87 and 217 kDa are useful DNA vehicles for non-viral transfection of primary cultures of bovine fetal fibroblast and HEK 293 and Hep G2 cell lines. 相似文献

Clonal lines of transgenic fibroblast cells derived from the same fetus result in different development when used for nuclear transfer in pigs 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Different factors are believed to influence the outcome of nuclear transfer (NT) experiments. Besides the cell cycle stage of both recipient cytoplast and donor karyoplast, the origin of the donor cells (embryonic, fetal, and adult) is of interest. We compared in vitro development of NT embryos derived from small serum-starved (G0) or small cycling (G1) porcine fetal fibroblast cells. Serum starvation did not have a positive effect on cleavage rate or the percentage of embryos that developed to the morula and blastocyst stages. Next, we investigated the development of porcine NT embryos derived from different transgenic clonal cell lines that had originated from the same fetus. When different clonal lines of fetal fibroblasts were fused to enucleated metaphase II oocytes, differences in fusion rates as well as in development to the morula and blastocyst stages were observed (P < 0.05). When oocytes derived from sow ovaries were used as recipient cytoplasts, significantly better cleavage (P = 0.03) and blastocyst formation (P < 0.014) was obtained when compared with oocytes derived from gilts. Our data indicate that not only different cell lines, but also different clones derived from one primary cell line, result in different development when used for NT. In addition, the use of sow oocytes as a cytoplast source also improves the efficiency of NT experiments. 相似文献

Spontaneous amplification of bovine papillomavirus type 1 DNA occurs following a prolonged period of serum starvation of wild-type virus-transformed C127 cell lines and is associated with abundant viral E2 protein synthesis and a concomitant induction of viral oncogene (E5 and E6) expression. We show here that a subpopulation of the permissive cells incorporate bromo-deoxyuridine under conditions of cell growth arrest (serum starvation), whereas DNA synthesis is suppressed in the resting population of nonpermissive cells. Flow cytometric measurements of the cellular DNA content of the permissive cell population indicated that it contained predominantly a 4n DNA content, suggesting that these cells were blocked in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. In keeping with the hypothesis that viral DNA amplification is associated with the induction of a cellular S phase, we observed a specific induction of expression of two cell proliferation-related cellular antigens (PCNA and Ki67) in a subpopulation of permissive cells. C127 cell lines transformed by an E5-minus bovine papillomavirus type 1 mutant, which was competent for autonomous plasmid replication in mitotic cells, were completely defective for the induction of DNA synthesis and mutant viral DNA amplification under conditions of serum starvation. Moreover, the E5 protein is shown by immunofluorescence analysis to be expressed at a high level specifically in the permissive cell population. These results imply a dual role for the viral E5 protein in the C127 model system, both as a transforming protein and as a factor required for the induction of viral DNA amplification in postmitotic cells. We suggest that E5 acts at an early step in the induction of this process in C127 cells and may be required to turn on host cell DNA synthesis as a prerequisite for viral DNA amplification. 相似文献

Epigenetic reprogramming is a critical event in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here, we determined the DNA methylation profiles of 22 human iPSC lines derived from five different cell types (human endometrium, placental artery endothelium, amnion, fetal lung fibroblast, and menstrual blood cell) and five human embryonic stem cell (ESC) lines, and we followed the aberrant methylation sites in iPSCs for up to 42 weeks. The iPSCs exhibited distinct epigenetic differences from ESCs, which were caused by aberrant methylation at early passages. Multiple appearances and then disappearances of random aberrant methylation were detected throughout iPSC reprogramming. Continuous passaging of the iPSCs diminished the differences between iPSCs and ESCs, implying that iPSCs lose the characteristics inherited from the parent cells and adapt to very closely resemble ESCs over time. Human iPSCs were gradually reprogrammed through the "convergence" of aberrant hyper-methylation events that continuously appeared in a de novo manner. This iPS reprogramming consisted of stochastic de novo methylation and selection/fixation of methylation in an environment suitable for ESCs. Taken together, random methylation and convergence are driving forces for long-term reprogramming of iPSCs to ESCs. 相似文献

A Cell Line (HEW) from Embryos of Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinius) and Its Capacity to Tolerate Environmental Extremes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Cell lines can be useful experimental tools for studying marine fish, which are often difficult to routinely obtain and maintain
in the laboratory. As few cell lines are available from coldwater marine fish, cultures were initiated from late gastrula
embryos of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in Leibovitz's L-15 with fetal bovine serum (FBS). From one culture, a cell
line (HEW) emerged that has been grown for close to 100 population doublings, was heteroploid, and expressed telomerase activity,
all of which suggest HEW is immortal. Growth occurred only if FBS was present and was optimal at 12 to 18°C. Usually most
cells had an epithelial-like morphology, but under some conditions, cells drew up into round central bodies from which radiated
cytoplasmic extensions with multiple branches. These neural-like cells appeared within a few hours of cultures being placed
at 28°C or being switch to a simple salt solution (SSS). At 28°C, cells died within 24 h. In SSS, HEW cells survived as a
monolayer for at least 7 days. The sensitivity of HEW cells to morphological change and their capacity to withstand starvation
should make them useful for investigating cellular responses to environmental stresses. 相似文献

The cell cycle stage of donor cells is an important factor influencing developmental ability of nuclear transfer embryos. In the present experiment, cumulus and fibroblast cells of cattle were subjected to flow cytometric cell cycle analysis before being used in somatic cloning experiments. The following experimental groups were analyzed for each cell type: (1) actively dividing cells, (2) cells confluent for 4 days, (3) cells starved for 1, 2, 3 or 5 days. Using the propidium iodide flow cytometric assay, there were no significant differences (P > or = 0.05) in the percentage of cells in G0/G1 regardless of origin and type of cell, after confluency or serum starvation. Differences with the growing cells were found (P < or = 0.01). To determine what subset of cells in G0/G1 were in the G0 subphase of the cell cycle, an immunofluorescence analysis was conducted using monoclonal anti-PCNA antibodies in a FACS assay. There were not statistically significant differences in the percentage of cells that enter G0, between confluent and any starved group for either type of cells. Bovine fibroblast cells, confluent or serum starved for 3 days, were used in nuclear transfer experiments. A slight trend for a more desirable fusion rate in starved cells was detected, and embryo cleavage was greater in starved cells, however, in vitro development to blastocysts was similar between groups. Data indicate that prolonged culture of cells in the absence of serum does not imply a shift in the percentage of cells that enter G0/G1 or G0 alone, and that confluency is sufficient to induce quiescence. This finding can be beneficial in nuclear transfer programs, because there are negative effects such as apoptosis, associated with serum starvation. 相似文献
