Abstract. Three different culture media, Ham's F-12, medium 199, and Eagle's minimal essential medium (MEM), were compared with respect to the expression of neuronal (choline acetyl transferase activity: CAT) and glial (hydrocortisone-induced glutamine synthetase activity; GSase) markers of normal differentiation in cultures of 9-day chick embryo neuroretinal cells, and also with respect to the accumulation of a lens marker (δ crystallin) during so-called 'transdifferentiation' in these cultures.
MEM allows transient expression of both CAT and GSase activities in early cultures, but also permits extensive δ crystallin accumulation at later stages. F-12 medium gives somewhat higher levels of CAT and GSase activities, the former being noticeably prolonged as compared with parallel MEM cultures; δ crystallin accumulation, however, is largely inhibited in F-12 cultures. By contrast, medium 199 permits only low levels of CAT and GSase activities, perhaps because the neuronal cells are distributed individually over the glial cell sheet in 199 cultures, rather than forming aggregates as in MEM or F–12 cultures. Medium 199 also blocks δ crystallin accumulation.
The results of medium changeover between 'transdifferentiation'-permissive (MEM) and non-permissive (199, F-12) conditions suggest: (a) that potential lens precursor cells (whatever their nature) survive in F-12 medium for prolonged periods without extensive expression of the lens phenotype; (b) that such precursor cells become committed to subsequent differentiation as lens cells between 10 and 20 days of culture in permissive MEM medium (as judged by the accumulation of δ crystallin following transfer into F-12); and (c) that medium 199 can block expression of the lens phenotype even in cells already committed (by the above criteria) to lens differentiation, as for instance after 30 days of preculture in MEM. 相似文献

The effects of media containing undialysed serum (controls) or dialysed serum with or without ascorbic acid, were compared during the second half of the 41-day culture period in embryonic chick neural retina cultures, which had all been grown in control medium prior to 19 days. Conditions permitting greatest culture growth (controls) showed earlier and more extensive development of lentoids, greater accumulation of total crystallin and a higher proportion of δ relative to α+β crystallins. Conditions allowing least culture growth (dialysed serum) gave converse results throughout. Thus changes in culture growth rate apparently affect δ crystallin production more than α or β crystallin production. Insulin promotes growth in neural retina cultures, whether present throughout the culture period (in this case 31 days), or only from 18 days onwards. The frequency and survival of putative neuronal cell aggregates are both increased by insulin during the first 18 days of culture. Delta crystallin production during subsequent transdifferentiation is selectively promoted by insulin when present throughout, but this effect is largely obviated when insulin is present only from 18 days onwards. This anomaly could arise through percursor cell selection during the earlier phases of culture, since it is possible that some (not all) lentoids may be derived from aggregates of neuronal-like cells in neural retina cultures. Thus precursor cell selection as well as culture growth rate may influence the pattern of crystallin production during transdifferentiation. 相似文献

Markers of neuronal cell differentiation (GABA accumulation, choline acetyltransferase activity) are shown to increase initially and then decline sharply in monolayer cultures of 9 day embryo neuroretinal (NR) cells. A glial marker (glutamine synthetase, GSase) is precociously inducible by hydrocortisone (HC) in dense'monolayer' NR cultures (containing aggregates of neuronal cells overlying the glial sheet) as well as in chick embryo retinal explants. The induced level of GSase activity is not maintained in the continued presence of HC, but rather declines by 20 days in vitro. Choline acetyltransferase (CAT) activity is higher in HC-treated cultures than in controls only during the period when induced GSase activity is detectable. Furthermore, the subsequent transdifferentiation of lens cells (monitored as δ crystallin content) in these cultures is delayed by 10 days and much reduced in extent when HC is present throughout the culture period.
We suggest a simple model to account for these results, on the basis of recent evidence that lens cells are derived mainly from the retinal epithelial cells (immature Müller glia) of 9-day embryonic NR, and that transdifferentiation results from a change in cell determination during the early stages of'monolayer' culture. In outline, our model proposes that early dedetermination of the retinal glia is associated with a decline of neuronal cell markers (dedifferentiation) followed eventually by loss of the neuronal cells. Hydrocortisone, by inducing transient glial cell differentiation (GSase activity), both prolongs the expression of a neuronal marker (CAT) and also reduces later transdifferentiation into lens. 相似文献

Chick embryo neuroretinal (NR) cells transdifferentiate extensively into lens when cultured for several weeks in low-glucose (FH) medium, but fail to do so when high levels of supplementary glucose (FHG) are present. We show here that most aspects of glucose metabolism are promoted in high-glucose cultures, including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) activities, 2-deoxyglucose uptake, pentose shunt activity and lactate production. Continuous supplementation of high-glucose cultures with low levels of ouabain (FHGO) significantly lowers 2-deoxyglucose uptake, from FHG levels down towards FH levels, especially during the early stages of NR culture. Much later, extensive transdifferentiation into lentoids (with concomitant delta-crystallin accumulation) occurs in these FHGO cultures, which thus resemble FH rather than FHG controls. Another parameter strongly affected by ambient glucose levels is the accumulation of glycogen. Both glycogen itself and glycogen synthetase activity increase steadily in FHG cultures, but decrease slightly under FH conditions. Glycogen accumulation in FHG cultures is largely confined to glial-like cells, particularly those underlying clusters of neurones. Other studies have shown that glial differentiation in vitro is promoted by histotypic interactions with retinal neurones. Thus high glucose may act in concert with neuronal influences to stimulate or stabilize the normal differentiation of retinal glial cells, whose characteristic features in vivo include glycogen synthesis and storage. Furthermore, we show that supplementation of high-glucose cultures with forskolin or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (both of which promote glycogenolysis) results in a slower rate of glycogen accumulation and in enhanced transdifferentiation into lens. In both respects, the forskolin- and dibutyryl cAMP-supplemented FHG cultures are intermediate between FH and FHG controls. Thus the enhancement of normal glial differentiation in NR cultures by high glucose may inhibit or preclude subsequent transdifferentiation into lens. 相似文献

Expression of Toxin Receptors on Cell Surfaces in Transdifferentiating Cultures of Neural Retina 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

It has often been asked which of the cell types found during the early stages of culturing embryonic chick neural retina can undergo transdifferentiation into lens in vitro. Since neuronal cell-surface toxin receptors are maintained in NR cultures for much longer than internal neuronal enzymes (e.g. choline acetyltransferase), and since the transdifferentiation process can be greatly accelerated by preparing reaggregates of neural retina cells after about 10 days of preculture as "monolayers", a direct test of this question became feasible. 7 or 9 day embryonic chick neural retina cells, precultured for 10–12 days as monolayers, were dissociated and reaggregated under continuous gyration. Reaggregates were maintained for 8 days in the presence of either tetanus toxin or FITC-conjugated α-bungarotoxin, to permit surface-bound toxins to become internalised via receptor turnover. The reaggregates were then dissociated, stained with rabbit antitoxin and FITC-conjugated anti-antibody in the case of tetanus toxin-labelled material, and restained with a rat or mouse antibody against chick δ crystallin followed by the appropriate rhodamine-conjugated anti-antibody. Although both FITC/toxin-labelled cells (putative neurones) and rhodamine/δ crystallin-labelled cells (transdifferentiated lens cells) were abundant, no examples of double-labelled cells were observed with 9 day starting material, and only a very few with 7 day starting material. We conclude that the vast majority of differentiated neuronal cells expressing surface receptors for these toxins do not transdifferentiate directly into lens cells. 相似文献

Chick embryo neural retinal cells transdifferentiate extensively into lens cells when cultured in Eagle's MEM containing horse and fetal calf sera (FHMEM). Such cultures express elevated levels of pp60c-src-associated tyrosine kinase activity relative to parallel cultures prevented from transdifferentiating by the addition of supplementary glucose (FHGMEM) or replacement of MEM by medium 199 (F199). Northern blotting and in vitro translation studies suggest that c-src mRNA levels are only slightly higher in late transdifferentiating (FHMEM) cultures as compared to parallel blocked (FHGMEM or F199) cultures. By immunocytochemical staining, we show that pp60c-src protein is largely localized in cell groups undergoing conversion into lens (i.e. expressing delta crystallin) in late FHMEM cultures. Initial studies of pp60c-src in chick lens tissues during development indicate that higher kinase activity is found in the epithelial cells relative to mature lens fibres. Thus pp60c-src may be expressed both during the differentiation of lens cells in vivo and during the transdifferentiation of neural retina cells into lens in vitro. 相似文献

Chick embryo neuroretinal cells accumulate lens-specific δ-crystallin when cultured in Eagle's minimal essential medium containing 5% foetal calf serum and 5% horse serum (FH), but fail to do so if supplementary glucose is present (FHG). Culture growth rates are similar in the two media, but choline acetyltransferase activity is maintained for longer in FHG medium. By transferring cultures from FHG into FH medium and vice versa, we show that potential lens precursor cells survive for at least 21 days in FHG medium, while some retinal cells become irreversibly committed to crystallin production after 18 days in FH medium. 相似文献

Growth, expression of functional differentiation (as characterized by synthesis and secretion of milk proteins), and primary metabolism were studied for a mouse mammary epithelial cell line, COMMA-1D, in extended-batch and hollow-fiber reactor cultures. Batch cultures were performed on Costar polycarbonate membrane inserts, allowing basal and apical exposure to medium. Protein production was induced in both batch and hollow-fiber cultures in hormonesupplemented medium. In batch cultures, high levels of protein production and secretion were maintained for 18 days. Once differentiation was induced, the rate of deinduction was low, even in medium containing epidermal growth factor (EGF) and serum; cells continued to express and secrete proteins for at least 12 days after prolactin and hydrocortisone were removed. Cells in both batch and hollow-fiber cultures were highly glycolytic and exhibited low rates of glutaminolysis. In batch culture on membrane inserts, cells showed polarized metabolism between the apical and basal side, maintaining significant gradients of glucose and lactate. Medium hormonal composition and subsequent differentiation affected both glucose uptake and lactate yield for COMMA-1D in batch culture. (c) 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Dissociated cells of brains (tel- and diencephalons) of 3.5-day-old chick embryos were cultivated in vitro under the cell culture conditions which are known to be permissive for neural retinal cells (NR cells) to transdifferentiate into lens and/or pigmented epithelial cells (PE cells). The differentiation of lentoid bodies (LBs) with lens-specific (δ-crystallin and PE cells with melanin granules was observed in such brain cultures.
LBs appeared in two different phases, i. e., 2–3 days and 16–30 days of cultivation, and after 40 days of culture these structures were formed in all 60 culture dishes. Sometimes, LBs were observed in foci of PE cells formed during earlier stages of brain cultures. When similar brain cultures were prepared with older embryos of 5-, 8.5-, 14-, and 16-days of incubation, no differentiation of lens and PE cells was observed. 相似文献

The metabolism of hybridoma cells was controlled to reduce metabolic formation in fed-batch cultures by dynamically feeding
a salt-free nutrient concentrate. For this purpose, on-line oxygen uptake rate (OUR) measurement was used to estimate the
metabolic demand of hybridoma cells and to determine the feeding rate of a concentrated solution of salt-free DMEM/F12 medium
supplemented with other medium components. The ratios among glucose, glutamine and other medium components in the feeding
nutrient concentrate were adjusted stoichiometrically to provide balanced nutrient conditions for cell growth. Through on-line
control of the feeding rate of the nutrient concentrate, both glucose and glutamine concentrations were maintained at low
levels of 0.5 and 0.2 mM respectively during the growth stage. The concentrations of the other essential amino acids were
also maintained without large fluctuations. The cell metabolism was altered from that observed in batch cultures resulting
in a significant reduction of lactate, ammonia and alanine production. Compared to a previously reported fed-batch culture
in which only glucose was maintained at a low level and only a reduced lactate production was observed, this culture has also
reduced the production of other metabolites, such as ammonium and alanine. As a result, a high viable cell concentration of
more than 1.0 × 107 cells/mL was achieved and sustained over an extended period. The results demonstrate an efficient nutrient feeding strategy
for controlling cell metabolism to achieve and sustain a high viable cell concentration in fed-batch mammalian cell cultures
in order to enhance the productivity.

We examined how the transdifferentiation ability of neural retinal cells into lens and/or pigment cells in call culture is changed with the development of the donor. Cells dissociated from neural retinas of chick embryos ranging from 3-day-old to the stage immediately before hatching and of 3-day-old chicks were cultured for about 60 days. The results clearly indicated that the transdifferentiation ability decreased with age. The latest developmental stage at which the differentiation of lens cells took place was in 18-day-old embryos. A gradual decrease in this ability was shown by the comparison of crystallin content in cultures prepared from embryos at different stages. The differentiation of pigment cells was recognized in cultures of neural retinas earlier than in 15-day-old embryos. Such loss of the ability of neural retinal cells to transdifferentiate into pigment cells earlier than into lens cells can be partially attributed to inhibitory factors accumulated in medium conditioned with many neuronal cells present in cultures. 相似文献

The effects of three different culture media (Eagle's MEM, F-12 and L-15) on the transdifferentiation of 8-day chick embryonic neural retina into lens cells, were examined with respect to the expression of two phenotypes. One type referred to neuronal specificity (as represented by the level of cholineacetyl-transferase, CAT, activity) and the other to lens specificity (as represented by content of α-and δ-crystallin). In 7-day cell cultures before the visible differentiation of lentoid bodies, CAT activity was detected in all media. But, its level was about 9 times higher in cultures with L-15 than in those with MEM and 3 times higher than in F-12. In 26-day cultures, CAT activity was practically undetectable. The production of α-and δ-crystallin was detected in cultures at 26 days. There were quantitative differences in the crystallin content with different media, and it was highest in cultures with L-15. The results indicate that conditions most favourable to the maintenance of the neuronal specificity in cell cultures of neural retina, can also support the most extensive transdifferentiation. The possibility of direct transdifferentiation of once neuronally specified cells into lens cells in cultures with L-15 has been suggested to explain the present results. 相似文献

Conidia of Penicillium chrysogenum were immobilized in K-carrageenan beads and then incubated in a growth-supporting medium to yield a penicillin producing immobilized cell mass. These in situ grown immobilized cells were used for the semicontinuous (replacement cultures)and continuous (fluidized bioreactor culture) production of penicillin-G. When periodically replaced into a minimal production medium, immobilized cells exhibited a half-life for penicillin production which was ninefold greater than that exhibited by free cells. The half-life of penicillin production and the yield of penicillin from glucose in such a replacement culture were greatly affected by the frequency of replacement and by the production medium's pH and concentration of glucose, phosphate, and trace metal nutrients. A penicillin-producing continuous flow bioreactor (150 mL), employing immobilized cells, was operated for up to 16 days. The best specific penicillin productivity (1.2 mg/g cells/h)yield from glucose (7.0 mg/g glucose) and half-life of production (15 days) were obtained when the feed medium contained 10 g/L of glucose, the pH was maintained at 7.0, the relative dissolved oxygen concentration was ca. 40%; and the residence time was 20 h. 相似文献

Mutant chickens, Hy-1 and Hy-2, show abnormalities in growth and differentiation of the lens epithelium. In this study, neural retinal cells (NR cells) from 3.5-day-old embryos of these mutants were cultured, and the differentiation in vitro was compared with the cells of the normal strain. Hy-1 cells in vitro were characterized by a delay in the first appearance of neuronal cells (N-cells) and by excessive production of this cell type at later stages. By contrast, the Hy-2 cells were indistinguishable from the normal cells in the early phase of culturing. In spite of the marked difference of Hy-1 NR cells in neuronal differentiation up to about 7 days in culture, the transdifferentiation of lens and pigmented cells occurred to a similar extent and with the same time schedule as cultures of normal cells. A number of lentoid bodies were formed by about 10 days. The relative composition of the three major classes of crystallins in transdifferentiated lens cells was almost identical between normal and Hy-1 strains. The results were discussed in comparison with the previous results of cell culture of NR of 8-day embryonic mutant chickens, and it was concluded that the process of transdifferentiation in cell culture is different between NR from 3.5-day-old and 8-day-old embryos. 相似文献

Culture of bovine mammary epithelial cells in D-valine modified medium: selective removal of contaminating fibroblasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bovine mammary epithelial cells were cultured in nutrient medium containing D-valine substituted for L-valine in an attempt to control fibroblast overgrowth. Contamination of epithelial cell cultures with fibroblasts was prevented in cultures maintained in D-valine but not in control cultures containing L-valine. Microscopic examination of cells cultured in the D-valine medium demonstrated similar morphology as controls after 27 days in culture. Concentration of alpha-lactalbumin in the D-valine medium was similar to levels found in control medium. Results suggest D-valine modified medium controls fibroblast overgrowth of cell cultures, but doesn't impair epithelial cell morphology or function. 相似文献

Dissociated cells of the iris-pigmented epithelium (IPE) from a 1-day-old chick grew in monolayer culture and stably maintained their differentiated state when cultured with standard culture medium. After replacement of the control medium by EdFPH medium, which is effective in inducing dedifferentiation of retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells, all cells rapidly lost pigment granules, proliferated intensively, and dedifferentiated. By further addition of ascorbic acid, dedifferentiated cells accumulated and formed a large number of lentoids. This system provides a useful opportunity for analyzing cellular and molecular mechanism involved in each step of transdifferentiation. Furthermore, Northern blot data indicates that the up-regulation of pax-6 gene could be an important event during lens regeneration as well as during normal lens development. 相似文献
