Uniform straw-like cell architecture for three-dimensional cell–cell communication assay

ABSTRACT

We fabricated uniform straw-like cell architecture with central lumen using a suture thread within 1 h. The architecture consisting of cancer cells and mature adipocyte was used for cell–cell communication assay, although mature adipocyte could not form spontaneous multi-cellular spheroids. Using the system, it is possible to investigate three-dimensional cell–cell communication as an alternative to animal experiments.     

Programmed cell death in cell cultures

In plants most instances of programmed cell death (PCD) occur in a number of related, or neighbouring, cells in specific tissues. However, recent research with plant cell cultures has demonstrated that PCD can be induced in single cells. The uniformity, accessibility and reduced complexity of cell cultures make them ideal research tools to investigate the regulation of PCD in plants. PCD has now been induced in cell cultures from a wide range of species including many of the so-called model species. We will discuss the establishment of cell cultures, the fractionation of single cells and isolation of protoplasts, and consider the characteristic features of PCD in cultured cells. We will review the wide range of methods to induce cell death in cell cultures ranging from abiotic stress, absence of survival signals, manipulation of signal pathway intermediates, through the induction of defence-related PCD and developmentally induced cell death.     

A transitional cell carcinoma cell line

Summary A transitional cell carcinoma cell line, COLO 232, was derived from a primary urinary bladder tumor in a Caucasian male. In culture, COLO 232 retained distinct uroepithelial phenotypic traits and produced both carcinoembryonic antigen and adrenocorticotropic hormone. COLO 232 had a chromosome mode of 58 and retained the X and Y chromosomes. Ten marker chromosomes were identified. COLO 232 will be of value for biochemical and immunological studies. Presented in part at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Tissue Culture Association, June 7, 1977. This work was supported by Grant No. CA 15018 awarded by the National Cancer Institute, DHEW, and the Mary B. and L. H. Marshall Fund.     

Germ cell sex and cell cycle

Germ cells are the only cells in the body capable of transferring an individual's genetic and epigenetic information to the next generation. However, the developmental processes that provide the foundation for male and female germ line development and later gamete production are complex and poorly understood. In mice the primordial germ cells enter the bipotential gonad at E10.5 and, in response to the testicular or ovarian micro-environment, commit to spermatogenesis or oogenesis. This paper reviews progress in understanding the molecular processes underlying the early stages of male and female germ line development.     

Preformed cell structure and cell heredity

This review will first recall the phenomena of “cortical inheritance” observed and genetically demonstrated in Paramecium 40 years ago, and later in other ciliates (Tetrahymena, Oxytricha, Paraurostyla), and will analyze the deduced concept of “cytotaxis” or “structural memory.” The significance of these phenomena, all related (but not strictly restricted) to the properties of ciliary basal bodies and their mode of duplication, will be interpreted in the light of present knowledge on the mechanism and control of basal body/centriole duplication. Then other phenomena described in a variety of organisms will be analyzed or mentioned which show the relevance of the concept of cytotaxis to other cellular processes, mainly (1) cytoskeleton assembly and organization with examples on ciliates, trypanosome, mammalian cells and plants, and (2) transmission of polarities with examples on yeast, trypanosome and metazoa. Finally, I will discuss some aspects of this particular type of non-DNA inheritance: (1) why so few documented examples if structural memory is a basic parameter in cell heredity, and (2) how are these phenomena (which all rely on protein/protein interactions, and imply a formatting role of preexisting proteinic complexes on neo-formed proteins and their assembly) related to prions?Key words: Paramecium, basal-body, centriole, basal-body duplication, cell polarity, structural inheritance, cytotaxis, cell memory, epigenetics     

Electrostimulated cell fusion in cell engineering

A survey of studies on reconstructions of animal and plant cells which apply a new physical method--electrostimulated fusion, is presented. Effects of different factors of the medium on the efficiency of electrofusion is discussed. A detailed account is given of the authors' studies on zygotes reconstruction by combined methods of microsurgery and electrostimulated cell fusion. Advantages of the latter as compared to the widely distributed methods of fusion by polyethylenglycol and Sendai virus are considered. This physical method can play an important role in the progress of cellular engineering.
