The release of ten radiochemical markers from MRC-5 and CHO cells after cooling at various rates and thawing from temperatures in the range of 0 to ?196 °C was measured. Many of these radiochemicals had specific sites of attachment on or within the cell and the aim was to determine the effect of freeze-thaw stresses on various parts of the cell. Cell death during cooling and thawing was, in most instances, accompanied by osmotic damage and loss of cytoplasmic constituents. Significant damage to the cell membrane occurred only after the cell was already dead and was related to the disruption of cells killed at higher temperatures and to osmotic stress during rewarming. The release of cations and other cytoplasmic markers was correlated to cell shrinkage and dehydration. The data were used to assess the relative effects of some of the proposed damaging factors in freeze-thaw injury (thermal shock, ice damage, dilution shock, etc.). CHO cells showed a much higher survival rate and release of cations after fast cooling than MRC-5 cells. This, and additional circumstantial information, indicated that CHO cells survived freeze-thaw cycles better than MRC-5 cells because they are able to dehydrate more readily, even at fast cooling rates. 相似文献

Glycerol, DMSO, and HES are able to reduce by a factor of 2 the sublethal damage produced in mammalian cells after one freeze-thaw cycle. When sublethal freeze-thaw damage is already present, DMSO and HES are able to prevent about half of this damage from becoming lethal when a second freeze-thaw cycle is applied. Glycerol is only able to do this if dilution shock is avoided by thawing the cells into medium containing glycerol. The cells can repair 100% of this sublethal damage and do so in 2–3 hr at 37 °C in suspension. The data imply that the sites protected by DMSO, HES, and glycerol are the same as the sites repaired by the cells. The results also suggest that cells stop progressing in the cell cycle while repairing sublethal freeze-thaw damage. 相似文献

A modified purification procedure is described for effectively eliminating dead cells after hepatocyte cryopreservation. Isolated hepatocytes from six pig tissue samples were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 2 weeks. After thawing, we developed a pre-incubation step prior to gradient centrifugation. The hepatocytes were subsequent cultured in suspension overnight (12-16 h), and then dead cells were eliminated by Ficoll 400 purification. The results showed that a high viability (mean of 96%) of cells was obtained, with a low viable cell loss in number (2-5%), by using this modified method. 相似文献

Relative effects of cooling and warming rates on mammalian cells during the freeze-thaw cycle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The relative roles of cooling and warming rates on cell survival during a freeze-thaw cycle were investigated. Basically the faster the warming rate, the better the cells survive. One of the factors influencing this is the extended phase transition period at the slower thawing rates. The warming rate had a significant effect on cell damage and recovery, but this was not as great as comparative changes in the cooling rate were. This investigation also showed that under certain freeze-thaw conditions there was a lack of correlation between the two methods used for quantifying cell recovery (RI) and cell damage (PCR) as measured by radiochromate release. The analysis of the relationship between RI and PCR showed that PCR could be used to measure both lethal and nonlethal damage and enabled a clearer interpretation of cellular damage during cooling and thawing to be made. 相似文献

Traditional methods of determining cell viability (vital dye staining and plating efficiency) as a measure of recovery from freeze-thaw cycles were found particularly unsuitable for human diploid cell lines. A modified plating efficiency method (RI) and a method using the release of radiochromate from injured or dead cells were compared and assessed for their suitability as measurements of cell recovery from freezing and thawing. 相似文献

CD56 antigen, an isoform of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) was previously found by us in human thyroid by APAAP immunohistochemistry in light microscopy on frozen tissue sections. In the current study, it was attempted to trace the antigen in question using another light microscopic immunohistochemical procedure and to validate the results at the ultrastructural level. For light microscopy, cryostat sections of 12 surgical samples of human thyroid were subjected to ABC (preformed avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex) method. For immunoelectron microscopy, immunoperoxidase reaction was carried out on prefixed, small thyroid tissue blocks. Following preliminary inspection of semithin sections, ultrathin sections were examined in the transmission electron microscope. ABC reaction revealed distinct specific CD56 staining of thyrocyte cell membranes. The staining was weak or absent in thyroid papillary carcinoma cells. The results were confirmed in semithin sections by indirect immunoperoxidase. The latter reaction in ultrathin sections at the ultrastructural level has shown that specific reaction product was confined to free and lateral surfaces of thyroid follicular cells. Endothelial cell membranes of thyroid capillary vessels were totally devoid of the reaction product. The reaction was weakly positive in thyroid follicular and papilllary carcinomas but absent from medullary carcinoma. 相似文献

Summary The development of somatic embryos in an embryogenic suspension culture ofPicea sitchensis was followed every day for two weeks after thawing from liquid nitrogen (LN2). Only a few cells, primarily located at the periphery of the embryonic region of the embryos, survived cryopreservation in LN2. Surviving cells were classified into two groups: embryogenic cells (EC) and non-embryogenic cells (NEC), based on their morphology and embryogenic competence. The dense cytoplasmic EC underwent organized growth and differentiation with first divisions occurring after 24 h, and embryo formation 6–8 days after thawing from LN2. No evidence of asymmetrical divisions or free-nuclear stages was found during somatic embryo formation. NEC had less dense cytoplasm with numerous small vacuoles. One to five days after thawing the NEC became progressively more vacuolated and elongated. Histological examination revealed no mitotic activity in NEC, and six days after thawing NECs were seen as single cells or unorganized cell aggregates. Two weeks after thawing the appearance of the cryopreserved cultures was comparable to that of the untreated cultures.Abbreviations EC

Progressive changes to MRC-5 and CHA cells during the cooling process were measured by thawing samples of cells in 10% DMSO from various points in the cooling phase between +20 ° and ?196 °C. The results showed that the period of phase transition was not the part of the cooling process in which cells were most susceptible to freeze-thaw damage. Indications were that most cell damage, as measured by the release of radiochromate, occurred between ?30 ° and ?80 °C. The possibility that cell survival from freeze-thaw cycles could be improved by the use of different cooling rates at different stages of the cooling process was investigated. 相似文献

The anti-cell death FNK protein protects cells from death induced by freezing and thawing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The FNK protein, constructed from anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL with enhanced activity, was fused with the protein transduction domain (PTD) of the HIV/Tat protein to mediate the delivery of FNK into cells. The fusion protein PTD-FNK was introduced into chondrocytes in isolated articular cartilage-bone sections, cultured neurons, and isolated bone marrow mononuclear cells to evaluate its ability to prevent cell death induced by freezing and thawing. PTD-FNK protected the cells from freeze-thaw damage in a concentration-dependent manner. Addition of PTD-FNK with conventional cryoprotectants (dimethyl sulfoxide and hydroxyethyl starch) increased surviving cell numbers around 2-fold compared with controls treated only with the cryoprotectants. Notably, PTD-FNK allowed CD34+ cells among bone marrow mononuclear cells to survive more efficiently (12-fold more than the control cells) from two successive freeze-thaw cycles. Thus, PTD-FNK prevented cell death induced by freezing and thawing, suggesting that it provides for the successful cryopreservation of biological materials. 相似文献

Membrane changes during different stages of a freeze-thaw protocol for equine semen cryopreservation 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Many theories have been postulated concerning the possible effects of cryopreservation on spermatozoa, including suggestions the freeze-thawing process produces membranes that have greater fluidity and are more fusogenic, thus inducing changes similar to those of capacitation. The main objectives of this study were to determine at what stage of the freeze-thaw process membrane changes occur and whether evaluation with chlortetracycline (CTC) stain could predict the freezability of stallion sperm. Sperm viability and state of capacitation were simultaneously evaluated using CTC and Hoechst 33258 (H258) techniques. Membrane function was evaluated using the hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOS) and progressive motility (PM) was evaluated under light microscopy at each stage of a freeze-thaw protocol. Evaluated were raw semen; after dilution and centrifugation; after redilution and equilibration at room temperature; after cooling to 5 degrees C; after super cooling to -15 degrees C; and after thawing. The most pronounced functional damage to membranes and the greatest decrease in PM occurred in samples of all stallions after thawing (P<0.05). Cryopreservation, as evaluated by CTC/H258 staining, significantly (P<0.05) affected sperm membrane integrity after centrifugation, after redilution and equilibration at room temperature and after cooling to 5 degrees C. The HOS and H258 tests gave similar results (R values of approximately 0.75) and correlated inversely with the number of live noncapacitated sperm cells (R values of approximately -0.75). Remarkably, the subpopulation of capacitated live cells was unaffected in all freeze-thawing steps and the number of live acrosome reacted cells increased by a factor of 4. However, it was not possible to determine whether the changing CTC patterns reflect a true capacitation phenomenon or an intermediate destabilized state of the sperm cell membrane. This increase may indicate that the subpopulation of functional sperm cells capable of binding to the zona pellucida increases after freeze-thawing despite the deteriorative effect of this procedure for the entire live sperm population. 相似文献

The two-step cooling procedure has been used to investigate factors involved in cell injury. Chinese hamster fibroblasts frozen in dimethylsulphoxide (5%, ) were studied. Survival was measured using a cell colony assay and simultaneous observations of cellular shrinkage and the localization of intracellular ice were done by an ultrastructural examination of freeze-substituted samples.Correlations were obtained between survival and shrinkage at the holding temperature. However, cells shrunken at ?25 °C for 10 min (the optimal conditions for survival on rapid thawing from ?196 °C) contain intracellular ice nuclei at ?196 °C detectable by recrystallization. These ice nuclei only form below ?80 °C and prevent recovery on slow or interrupted thawing but not on rapid thawing. Cells shrunken at ?35 °C for 10 min (just above the temperature at which intracellular ice forms in the majority of rapidly cooled cells) can tolerate even slow thawing from ?196 °C, suggesting that they contain very few or no ice nuclei even in liquid nitrogen. Damage may correlate with the total amount of ice formed per cell rather than the size of individual crystals, and we suggest that injury occurs during rewarming and is osmotic in nature. 相似文献

A simple and efficient procedure for cryopreservation of embryogenic cells of aromatic Indica rice varieties 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Embryogenic suspension cells of two commercially cultivated aromatic Indica rice varieties, Basmati 385 and Pusa Basmati 1, were cryopreserved using a simple one-step freezing procedure that does not require a controlled-rate freezer. The procedure involves osmotic pre-conditioning of cells with mannitol, addition of a cryoprotectant solution consisting of sucrose, dimethyl sulfoxide, glycerol, proline, and modified R2 medium, cooling to –25°C for 2 h in a freezer, and then storage in liquid nitrogen. After rapid thawing at 45°C, these cultures showed post-thaw cell viability of 5.6 to 10.5% and formed actively dividing, readyto-use cell suspensions in 20–35 d when cultured directly into liquid medium. Plants were regenerated from cell clumps as well as from colonies formed by protoplasts that were isolated from suspension cells re-established from cryopreserved cells, with frequencies higher (54–98%) than, or comparable to, those obtained from three to four-month-old original non-frozen cell cultures. Cell viability and regeneration frequencies of post-thawed Pusa Basmati 1 cultures were similar to those obtained from the suspension cells cryopreserved using the conventional slow-freezing procedure which involves pre-freezing cells to –40°C at the rate of –0.2°C per min prior to immersion in liquid nitrogen. In Basmati 385, however, cells frozen at ––25°C showed lower post-thaw cell viability than those preserved using the slow-freezing procedure, but these cells produced cell suspensions that had greater shoot morphogenetic potential. The study indicates the beneficial effect of this simple freezing procedure, not only for preserving desirable cultured cells but also for an enrichment of embryogenic cells.Abbreviations 2,4-D

The effect of subjecting the mammalian cell lines MRC-5 and CHO to hypertonic salt concentrations (0.16 to 2.4 m) and returning them to isotonic conditions was investigated. Parameters for measuring cell size, viability and release of radiochemical markers were used to determine the relative susceptibilities of the two cell lines to hypertonic stress and the relative effects of increasing and decreasing hypertonicity. The aim of this study was to determine how great a role hypertonic stress plays in freeze-thaw damage of mamalian cells. This type of study has been extensively used for erythrocytes but not for nucleated mamamlian cell lines.The findings were that considerable cell shrinkage occurred, with a minimum size at 0.6 m NaCl, but that this caused no cell injury or death. Injury, measured by cation leakage and release of membrane and cytoplasmic labels occurred whilst the cell was swelling after reaching its minimum volume. MRC-5 cells succumbed at relatively low salt concentrations and became denatured. CHO cells withstood far high salt concentrations but were then damaged during dilution back to isotonic conditions. Comparison of the data obtained from hypertonic stress experiments and freeze-thaw experiments showed many similarities for CHO cells and indicated that the cell membrane could withstand high salt concentrations both at constant and changing temperatures but were prone to injury on dilution back to isotonic conditions. MRC-5 cells were shown to be very prone to cold shock and the results indicated that they probably succumb to damage and death during the hypertonic phase of cooling rather than thawing thus explaining their much lower survival from freeze-thaw experiments than CHO cells. The influence of DMSO in delaying cell damage to higher salt concentrations and lessening disruptive swelling during dilution were also demonstrated. 相似文献

The present investigation was performed to study the effect of freezing and thawing on boar spermatozoa. Thirty-one ejaculates from four boars were investigated after thawing in three different thawing diluents (seminal plasma, OLEP, isotonic glucose solution). From each ejaculate one sample of 1 × 109 spermatozoa was thawed in each of the thawing diluents. Each sample was examined in a thermoresistance test in which motility was stimulated with caffeine 30 min. and 3 hrs. after thawing. Furthermore, acrosome morphology and ASAT release from the spermatozoa were investigated for each sample. One ejaculate from the two most frequently used boars was examined by electron microscopy after thawing in each of the thawing diluents. Differences in the aspects studied appeared between isotonic glucose solution and the other two thawing diluents in the thermoresistance test, in the response to caffeine stimulation 3 hrs. after thawing and in the amount of ASAT released from the spermatozoa. The influence on the acrosome morphology varied between the thawing diluents, but the acrosomal alterations did not seem to be connected with the damage reflected by the thermoresistance test and by the measurement of extracellular ASAT activity. The ultrastructural investigation showed that all spermatozoa examined had some degree of ultrastructural alteration as compared with freshly ejaculated boar spermatozoa treated in the same way. This alteration could not be related to any of the thawing diluents. Of the various laboratory tests the thermoresistance test and the measurement of ASAT release are suggested to be sensitive indicators of sperm damage during freezing and thawing. These tests might be useful indicators of variations in sensitivity of spermatozoa to the freezing-thawing procedure. 相似文献

Spontaneous micronuclei (MN) were determined in 69 fibroblast lines in the first subculture after cryoconservation. 45 cultures (65%) showed micronuclei in the normal range (less than 10 MN/500 cells), but 24 (35%) exhibited an elevation up to 60 MN/500 cells. In order to determine whether freezing and thawing is responsible for the enhanced MN level we studied the persistence of elevated MN in 10 cell cultures after freezing and thawing, and found that the MN levels returned to normal after 3 subcultures. In addition, the micronucleus formation before and after freezing was investigated in 2 newly established cell cultures obtained from probands whose cells had a particularly high number of MN. Both cultures had regular MN levels before freezing but a more than doubled number of MN when frozen samples were recultivated. This effect of the freezing procedure was confirmed with 5 separate biopsies obtained from the same donor. Since a freezing-related increase in MN was constantly observed in cells from some individuals but not in others, it might be possible that it is a constitutive trait which causes cultured fibroblasts of some individuals to be hypersensitive to the freezing and thawing procedure. It is also noteworthy that fibroblasts from 8 out of 12 probands with a familial malignant melanoma exhibited this phenomenon. 相似文献

Quantitative ultrastructural characteristics (volume, surface area, volume fraction and surface density) of the nucleus, nucleolus and cell were studied in albino rats after long-term (5, 10, 15, 20 days) melanotropin (MSH) administration. The experiments showed that enhanced functional activity of thyroid cells induced by MSH administration was accompanied by an increase in the volume, surface area of the nucleus, nucleolus and the cell proper, as well as by an increased nuclear pore diameter. Consequently, the nucleus-cytoplasm ratio in thyroid cells rises. 相似文献

Differential susceptibility of murine T and B lymphocytes to freeze-thaw and hypotonic shock 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Experiments were carried out to determine if thymic-derived lymphocytes (T-cells) could be differentially damaged by hypotonic and/or freeze-thaw stress. The uptake of 3H-thymidine after stimulation of murine spleen cells with phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P) or bacterial endotoxin (LPS) was used as an indicator of recovery. Optimal freezing and thawing techniques showed that 100% of LPS-responsive cells could be recovered, compared to 65% of PHA-responsive cells. These differences could be increased by treatment of spleen cells with 0.17 m NH4Cl prior to freezing and thawing. This represented a recovery of 50% of LPS-responsive cells and less than 10% of PHA-responsive cells. A similar effect could be obtained by treating NH4Cl-treated spleen cells with distilled water prior to culture. It is hypothesized that T-cells are more susceptible to osmotic damage than B-cells due to their differences in membrane characteristics. 相似文献

The effect of thawing velocity on survival and acrosomal integrity of ram spermatozoa frozen at optimal and suboptimal rates in straws 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effect of various thawing velocities on the motility and acrosomal maintenance of ram spermatozoa frozen at 20 degrees C/min (optimal) or 2 degrees C/min (suboptimal) was studied. The freeze-thaw motility and the percentage of intact acrosomes of spermatozoa frozen at 20 degrees C/min increased progressively with the thawing velocity. In semen frozen at 2 degrees C/min, motility of spermatozoa and the percentage of intact acrosomes declined drastically when the thawing velocity obtained in air at 20 degrees C was increased by thawing in water at 20 degrees C. Thawing at higher temperatures markedly increased both motility and acrosomal preservation, but the best results with semen frozen at 2 degrees C/min were lower than those obtained with semen frozen at 20 degrees C/min. The optimal freeze-thaw conditions for semen protected by 4% glycerol were freezing at 20 degrees C/min and thawing in water at 60 or 80 degrees C for 8 or 5 sec, respectively. Semen collected from rams exposed to a decreasing photoperiod exhibited higher motility after freezing and thawing than those exposed to an increasing photoperiod. However, there was no effect on acrosomal preservation after freezing at 20 degrees C/min. 相似文献

Normally a freeze-thaw cycle is a very efficient method of killing mammalian cells. However, this report describes conditions that prevent killing of cultured mammalian cells by nucleated freezing at -24 degrees C. Optimal protection from cell killing at -24 degrees C was obtained in isotonic solutions containing an organic cryoprotectant such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; 10%, v/v), a saccharide such as sucrose over a broad concentration range from 50 to 150 mM, and glucose. Glycerol was also an effective cryoprotectant but other organic solvents were ineffective, although in some cases they appeared to protect cell membranes, while not protecting other vital components. A wide variety of saccharide structures were effective at protecting cells from freeze-thaw killing, with trehalose being particularly effective. The degree of resistance to killing by a freeze-thaw cycle under these conditions varied widely among different cell lines. If toxicity of DMSO was responsible for this variability of cryoprotection, it must have been due to short-term, not longer term, toxicity of DMSO. Studies on the mechanism by which cells are protected from killing under these conditions indicated that neither vitrification of the medium nor the concentrating of components during freezing were involved. One model not eliminated by the mechanistic studies proposes that the organic solvent cryoprotectant component acts by fluidizing membranes under the thawing conditions, so that any holes produced by ice crystals propagating through membranes can reseal during the thawing process. In this model one of the mechanisms by which the saccharide component could act is by entering the cells and stabilizing vital intracellular components. Consistent with this, a freeze-thaw cycle promoted the uptake of labeled sucrose into cultured cells. 相似文献

Bone marrow cells collected from patients with hematologic malignancies were cryopreserved using DMSO as a cryoprotective agent. The growth kinetics of hemopoietic stem cells frozen to −196 °C was monitored immediately after thawing by the semisolid agar CFU-C assay and two different methods of cell reconstitution were compared. In the first procedure, thawed cells were plated after the removal of DMSO by washing the cell suspension; in the second, cell suspensions were cultured after a simple 1:1 dilution of DMSO with medium. The numbers of CFU-C per 2 × 105 cells plated was higher by washing out the DMSO in all the groups studied. However, the absolute numbers of CFU-C contained in the whole ampoules after the freezing procedures was approximately the same using both methods. It is concluded that washing the cells only apparently yielded a better cloning efficiency, suggesting that such a procedure led to a higher mature nucleated cell loss with the consequence of a CFU-C concentration. This trend seems particularly evident in cells from the AML and CML patients. 相似文献
