Previously, we showed that isolated stem cells from midguts of Heliothis virescens can be induced to multiply in response to a multiplication protein (MP) isolated from pupal fat body, or to differentiate to larval types of mature midgut cells in response to either of 4 differentiation factors (MDFs) isolated from larval midgut cell-conditioned medium or pupal hemolymph. In this work, we show that the responses to MDF-2 and MP in H. virescens stem cells decayed at different time intervals, implying that the receptors or response cascades for stem cell differentiation and multiplication may be different. However, the processes appeared to be linked, since conditioned medium and MDF-2 prevented the action of MP on stem cells; MP by itself appeared to repress stem cell differentiation. Epidermal growth factor, retinoic acid, and platelet-derived growth factor induced isolated midgut stem cells of H. virescens and Lymantria dispar to multiply and to differentiate to mature midgut cells characteristic of prepupal, pupal, and adult lepidopteran midgut epithelium, and to squamous-like cells and scales not characteristic of midgut tissue instead of the larval types of mature midgut epithelium induced by the MDFs. Midgut stem cells appear to be multipotent and their various differentiated fates can be influenced by several growth factors. 相似文献

Summary Differentiated cells in the insect midgut depend on stem cells for renewal. We have immunologically identified Integrin β1, a promotor of cell-cell adhesion that also induces signals mediating proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis on the
surfaces of culturedHeliothis virescens midgut cells; clusters of immunostained integrin β1-like material, indicative of activated integrin, were detected on aggregating midgut columnar cells. Growth factor-like peptides
(midgut differentiation factors 1 and 2 [MDF1 and MDF2]), isolated from conditioned medium containingManduca sexta midgut cells, may be representative of endogenous midgut signaling molecules. Exposing the cultured midgut cells toBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin caused large numbers of mature differentiated cells to die, but the massive cell death simultaneously induced
a 150–200% increase in the numbers of midgut stem and differentiating cells. However, after the toxin was washed out, the
proportions of cell types returned to near-control levels within 2 d, indicating endogenous control of cell-population dynamics.
MDF1 was detected immunologically in larger numbers of Bt-treated columnar cells than controls, confirming its role in inducing
the differentiation of rapidly produced stem cells. However, other insect midgut factors regulating increased proliferation,
differentiation, as well as inhibition of proliferation and adjustment of the ratio of cell types, remain to be discovered.

We exposed midgut cells from primary cultures of Heliothis virescens larvae to cell-free previously used medium, the Vaughn X and HyQ SFtrade mark media used for serum-free culture of insect cell lines which do not support H. virescens midgut cells, and to toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis. A statistically significant increase in the percent of dying cells was counted in cell populations in Vaughn X medium. Use of the TUNEL method to detect apoptosis indicated a low rate (7.2%) of apoptosis in control cultures grown in Heliothis medium, an increase to approximately 20% in previously used and HyQ SFtrade mark media, and to approximately 45% of cells remaining after exposure to and initial destruction by B. thuringiensis toxin. Apoptotic nuclei were predominant (approximately 6%) in mature columnar cells in control cultures. Approximately 1% of goblet, stem, and differentiating cells were apoptotic. However, apoptosis rose to 12% in stem and differentiating cells exposed to used and unsuitable medium. B. thuringiensis exposure to toxin for 2-3 days resulted in visible membrane damage and necrosis, causing the death of 84% of the cells as measured by both the TUNEL and Annexin methods. Some of the columnar cells and stem and differentiating cells that remained also contained apoptotic nuclei. Stem and differentiating cells normally replace dying mature cells in the midgut. Thus, exposure of cultures of H. virescens midgut cells to adverse environments such as unsuitable or poisonous media appeared to induce down-regulation of the cell populations by apoptosis. 相似文献

Midgut epithelial cells were isolated from fifth-instar Pseudaletia unipuncta larvae by collagenase treatment of midgut tissue, and cultured in TNM-FH medium. Long-term continuous culture and maintenance of midgut cells were achieved with P. unipuncta armyworm intestinal cells. Several cells lines were obtained from these P. unipuncta primary cultures, and they have been subcultured and maintained for over 24 mo. The three major midgut cell types were present in the cultures, including stem (regenerative), columnar, and goblet cells. In vitro morphogenesis and differentiation of columnar and goblet cells from stem cells were observed. There appeared to be a cycle of cell death of goblet and columnar cells followed by their replacement from stem cells every 7-8 wk. After approximately six passages, the cell density in T-flasks appeared to be somewhat constant, reaching 10(3)-10(4) cells per milliliter of medium. The columnar cells are round to rectangular in shape and possess a brush border, while the goblet cells have a classic flask-like shape with a central cavity. Peritrophic membrane-like secretions were observed in all the culture flasks. Infection of these cells with multiply embedded nucleopolyhedrovirus was confirmed, and we conclude that these midgut cells can be used as an in vitro model system to study early events in baculovirus infection. 相似文献

Cultured stem cells from larval midgut tissue of the lepidopteran Heliothis virescens respond to alterations in external calcium ion concentration (Ca(2+) (out)) by changing the rate of stem cell proliferation and by differentiating to larval or non-larval phenotypes. Decreasing the external concentration of Ca(2+) with the Ca(2+) chelating agent EGTA increased proliferation of stem cells in culture, and doubled the proportion of cells differentiating to columnar and goblet cells typical of larval midgut compared to controls. In contrast, increasing inward transport of Ca(2+) into the cells by increasing the concentration of external calcium ion concentration, or by incubation with the Ca(2+) ionophore A23187 (which tends to open inward plasma membrane Ca(2+) channels), induced dose-dependent differentiation to non-midgut cell types such as squamous and scale-like cells. However, the latter treatments did not significantly alter stem cell proliferation or differentiation to normal larval midgut epithelium. 相似文献

Summary TheManduca sexta (L.) [Lepidoptera: Sphingidae] andHeliothis virescens (F.) [Lepidoptera: Noctuidae] midguts consist of a pseudostratified epithelium surrounded by striated muscle and tracheae.
This epithelium contains goblet, columnar, and basal stem cells. The stem cells are critically important in that they are
capable of massive proliferation and differentiation. This growth results in a fourfold enlargement of the midgut at each
larval molt. The stem cells are also responsible for limited cell replacement during repair. While the characteristics of
the stem cell population vary over the course of an instar, stem cells collected early in an instar and those collected late
can start in vitro cultures. Cultures of larval stem, goblet, and columnar cells survive in vitro for several mo through proliferation
and differentiation of the stem cells. One of the two polypeptide differentiation factors which have been identified and characterized
from the culture medium has now been shown to be present in midgut in vivo. Thus the ability to examine lepidopteran midgut
stem cell growth in vitro and in vivo is proving to be effective in determining the basic features of stem cell action and
regulation.

Growth and differentiation of the larval midgut epithelium during molting in the moth, Manduca sexta
The number of epithelial cells comprising larval midgut of the tobacco hornworm moth, Manduca sexta increases 200-fold in development from the first to the fifth instar. We have examined larvae periodically before and during molting to follow epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation. The midgut epithelium in Manduca sexta consists predominantly of columnar and goblet cells. These are arranged in a characteristic pattern with each goblet cell surrounded by a single layer of 4-6 columnar cells (Hakim et al., (1988)). While undifferentiated basal stem cells are infrequently seen in intermolt larvae, just prior to the period when external signs of molting are visible, their number increases and mitotic figures become common. Proliferation continues for several hours and then these stem cells differentiate following a pattern similar to that seen during embryogenesis (Hakim et al., (1988)). Here, however, the newly differentiating cells become intercalated among the mature differentiated cells already present in the epithelium. Since the pattern of individual goblet cells surrounded by a reticulum of columnar cells is maintained after the addition of new cells, the midgut epithelium of molting larvae appears to be a useful model for studying pattern formation in development. 相似文献

Ookinetes are motile invasive stages of the malaria parasite that enter the midgut epithelium of the mosquito vector via an intracellular route. Ookinetes often migrate through multiple adjacent midgut epithelial cells, which subsequently undergo apoptosis/necrosis and are extruded from the midgut epithelium into the midgut lumen. Hundreds of ookinetes may simultaneously invade the midgut epithelium, causing destruction of an appreciable proportion of the total number of midgut epithelial cells. However, there is little evidence that ookinete invasion of the midgut epithelium per se is detrimental to the survival of the mosquito vector implying that efficient mechanisms exist to restore the damaged midgut epithelium following malaria parasite infection. Proliferation and differentiation of precursor stem cells could replace the midgut epithelial cells destroyed and lost as a consequence of ookinete invasion. Although the existence of so-called "regenerative" cells within the mosquito midgut epithelium has long been recognized, there has been no previously published evidence for proliferation/differentiation of these putative precursor midgut epithelial cells in mature adult female mosquitoes. In the current study, examination of Giemsa-stained histological sections from Anopheles stephensi mosquito midguts infected with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum provided morphological evidence that regenerative cells undergo division and subsequent differentiation into normal columnar midgut epithelial cells. Furthermore, the number of these putatively proliferating/differentiating regenerative cells was significantly higher in P. falciparum-infected compared to uninfected mosquitoes, and was positively correlated with both the level of malaria parasite infection and midgut epithelial cell destruction. The loss of invaded midgut epithelial cells associated with intracellular migration by ookinetes, therefore, appears to trigger, and to be compensated by, proliferative regeneration of the mosquito midgut epithelium. 相似文献

Summary The number of insect midgut cells is maintained homeostatically in vivo and in vitro. However, during starvation, the midgut
shrinks and the rate of cell replacement appears to be suppressed. When they undergo metamorphosis, the internal organs of
insects are drastically remodeled by cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptotic processes, and the net number of cells
usually increases. An extract of 1650 midguts ofPeriplaneta americana was fractionated by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain the peptides that regulate these processes. The
HPLC fractions were tested for myotropic activity in the foregut and for effects on cell proliferation or loss in primary
cultures of larvalHeliothis virescens midgut cells and in a cell line derived from the last-instar larval fat body ofMamestra brassicae. Some fractions stimulated midgut stem cell proliferation and differentiation, while others caused loss of differentiated
columnar and goblet cells. Other fractions stimulated cell proliferation in the larval fat body cells.

The Aedes aegypti midgut is restructured during metamorphosis; its epithelium is renewed by replacing the digestive and endocrine cells through stem or regenerative cell differentiation. Shortly after pupation (white pupae) begins, the larval digestive cells are histolized and show signs of degeneration, such as autophagic vacuoles and disintegrating microvilli. Simultaneously, differentiating cells derived from larval stem cells form an electron-dense layer that is visible 24 h after pupation begins. Forty-eight hours after pupation onset, the differentiating cells yield an electron-lucent cytoplasm rich in microvilli and organelles. Dividing stem cells were observed in the fourth instar larvae and during the first 24 h of pupation, which suggests that stem cells proliferate at the end of the larval period and during pupation. This study discusses various aspects of the changes during midgut remodeling for pupating A. aegypti. 相似文献

Abdominal midguts of the mosquito, Culiseta melanura, were examined by light and electron microscopy 1 hr-14 days days after blood feeding. Epithelial cells were drastically altered from columnar to squamous in form after engorgement, and returned to columnar by day 4 after feeding. Accumulation of mitochondria along brush borders of digestive cells, followed by the appearance of large secondary lysosomes, accompanied blood digestion. Evidence was obtained that myelin-like material in the lysosomes, probably the result of mitochondrial autolysis, is extruded into the lumen. Digestive cells resumed their pre-blood meal appearance by 10-14 days post-engorgement. Regenerative cells were scattered throughout the basal portion of the epithelium, along with endocrine cells. Other midgut cells containing large, microvilli-lined apical cavities were identified in most specimens. No evidence of division or differentiation was obtained for any cell types. 相似文献

Toxin from two strains of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), AA 1-9 and HD-73, caused dose-dependent destruction of cultured midgut cells from Heliothis virescens larvae. HD-73 toxin was more effective although, at the doses used, not all cells were killed. After 2 days of exposure to 0.8 pg/μl AA 1-9 or 0.06 pg/μl HD-73, columnar and goblet cell numbers declined to ca 20% of controls. In contrast, stem and differentiating cells increased to 140-200% of controls. The dynamic of depletion and replacement depended on toxin type and concentration. Two days after toxin was washed out, ratios of cell types returned to approximate control levels, suggesting rapid population corrections in vitro. Regulation of the ratio of cell types in each population, and the rate of proliferation and differentiation of stem cells was induced by the cultured midgut cells themselves. Controls and cells treated with toxin from Bt strain AA 1-9 were stained using a polyclonal antibody to Lepidopteran midgut differentiation factor 1 (MDF1). With Bt toxin, 1.5 times more cells stained for MDF1, suggesting increased synthesis of this differentiation factor during increased stem cell differentiation. The response of cultured midgut cells to Bt toxin injury is similar to injured vertebrate tissues dependent on stem cells for replacement and healing. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of endocrine cells in the midgut of the adult mosquito, Aedes aegypti, resembled that of endocrine cells in the vertebrate gastro-intestinal tract. Midgut endocrine cells, positioned basally in the epithelium as single cells, were cone-shaped and smaller than the columnar digestive cells. The most distinctive characteristic of endocrine cells was numerous round secretory granules along the lateral and basal plasma membranes where contents of the granules were released by exocytosis. Secretory granules in each individual cell were exclusively of one type, either solid or 'haloed', and for all cells observed, the range in granule diameter was 60-120 nm. The cytoplasm varied in density from clear to dark. Lamellar bodies were prominent in the apical and lateral cellular regions and did not exhibit acid phosphatase activity. The basal plasma membrane was smooth adjacent to the basal lamina, whereas in digestive cells the membrane formed a labyrinth. Some endocrine cells reached the midgut lumen and were capped by microvilli; a system of vesicles and tubules extended from beneath the microvilli to the cell body. An estimated 500 endocrine cells were distributed in both the thoracic and abdominal regions of the adult midgut. In one midgut, we classified a sample of endocrine cells according to cytoplasmic density and granule type and size; endocrine cells with certain types of granules had specific distributions within the midgut. 相似文献

The epithelium of anterior midgut of adult Cenocorixa bifida was examined with light and electron microscopy. The folded epithelium is composed of tall columnar cells extending to the lumen, differentiating dark and light cells with interdigitating apices and regenerative basal cells in the nidi surrounded by villiform ridges that penetrate deeply into the epithelium. The columnar cells display microvilli at their luminal surface. Microvilli lined intercellular spaces and basal plasma membrane infoldings are associated with mitochondria. These ultrastructural features suggest their role in absorption of electrolytes and nutrients from the midgut lumen. The columnar cells contain large oval nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Their cytoplasm is rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complexes and electron-dense secretory granules indicating that they are also engaged in synthesis of digestive enzymes. The presence of secretory granules in close proximity of the apical plasma membrane suggests the release of secretion is by exocytosis. The presence of degenerating cells containing secretory granules at the luminal surface and the occurance of empty vesicles and cell fragments in the lumen are consistent with the holocrine secretion of digestive enzymes. Apical extrusions of columnar cells filled with fine granular material are most likely formed in response to the lack of food in the midgut. The presence of laminated concretions in the cytoplasm is indicative of storageexcretion of surplus minerals. The peritrophic membrane is absent from the midgut of C. bifida. 相似文献

The proliferation and differentiation of stem cell populations allow the midgut to grow/regenerate in lepidopteran insect. Basic epithelial regenerative functions can be assessed in vitro by purifying these stem and mature cell populations. Therefore, we isolated and purified stem and mature cells from the midgut of C. suppressalis larvae by density gradient centrifugation and observed the morphologies of these cells. A flow cytometry method was used to monitor C. suppressalis stem cell proliferation and differentiation under different cell culture conditions. We observed high proportions of the stem and differentiating cells in third- and fourth-instar larvae, respectively, indicating that, in larvae, stem cells rapidly proliferate early in development and are strongly differentiated at late stages. Incubation in medium supplemented with fat body extract and ecdysone resulted in a significantly increased proportion of stem cells, not of the differentiating cells, indicating that co-culture with fat body extract and ecdysone stimulates the proliferation of C. suppressalis stem cells. Viability bioassays showed that Cry1Ab displayed significant cytotoxic effects on the midgut cell culture of C. suppressalis. The proportion of differentiating cells was significantly increased after a 48-h exposure to sublethal doses of Cry1Ab toxin, and peaked at the Cry1Ab concentration of 0.3 μg/ml, demonstrating that epithelial cells with strong regenerative capacity via the differentiation of stem cells. These results improve our understanding of C. suppressalis stem cell biology and illustrate the potential role of the enhanced midgut regeneration induced by stem cell proliferation or differentiation as a reparation mechanism to Bt toxin. 相似文献

The midgut epithelium of Gerris najas (Heteroptera : Gerridae) consists of a single cell type in different differentiating and functioning states. Cells elongate from nests of regenerative cells, forming together with their differentiating neighbours an interepithelial cavity, which contains coat material of membrane-like structure, and aggregations of cubic crystals visible only at this stage. Having reached a fold, the contents of the cavity are discharged into the lumen, and the young cells join the columnar cells. Exocytosis of coat material continues, while the cells gradually change to typical digestive columnar cells. The membrane-like material spreads from the folds into the lumen in whorls without forming a continuous cover of the luminal surface. Therefore, a peritrophic membrane does not exist in Gerris. 相似文献
