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

Differential effects of culture media on normal and foreign differentiation pathways followed by chick embryo neuroretinal cells in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
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 (delta 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 delta 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; delta 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 delta 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 delta 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

We studied the capacity of the cattle oocyte for the resumption of meiosis and the achievement of metaphase II in various
protein-free culture media (DMEM, TCM-199, Ham’s F-10, and Ham’s F-12) and the pattern of influence of the estrous serum on
thein vitro development of fertilized cattle oocytes, with special reference to the time of its addition to the synthetic oviduct fluid
containing BSA. In the first experimental series, it was shown that the highest number of oocytes (76.1%) resumed meiosis
in DMEM medium. Meiosis was not resumed in Ham’s F-12. Intermediate results were obtained for TCM-199 (55.1%), which is commonly
used for the maturation of cattle oocytesin vitro and for Ham’s F-10 (51.7%). The oocytes reached metaphase II in DMEM at a higher rate (45.3%) than in TCM-199 or Ham’s F-10
(29.4 and 8.6%, respectively). In the second experimental series, the estrous serum was added to the culture medium within
20 h (control) or 42 h (experiment) after the beginning of fertilization. The estrous serum did not inhibit the first cleavage
division (the percentage of cleaving embryos did not differ reliably: 32.7 and 37.9%, respectively). However, a later serum
addition to the culture medium (within 42 h after the beginning of fertilization) reliably increased the percentage of embryos
that reached the blastocyst stage (6.5% in the control and 17.8% in the experiment) and the hatched blastocyst stage (2 and
9.2%, respectively). 相似文献

Eighteen-day-old rat fetal pancreas was grown in organ culture for four days on medium consisting of tissue culture Medium 199 and varying concentrations of chicken serum. The glucagon and somatostatin concentration of the explants was decreased when the serum concentration of the medium was reduced from 50 to 10%. There was a further reduction in these hormones when the explants were cultured on Medium 199 alone. Explant insulin content was reduced only when serum was omitted from the medium. A "serum factor" tripeptide was not able to substitute for this serum requirement. Heat-inactivation of the serum resulted in a significant increase in medium insulin content and an increase in both the insulin and glucagon contents of the explants. This increase in hormone content was directly correlated with increases in the beta and alpha cell volumes of the explants. There was no change in the somatostatin content or delta cell volume of the explants grown on heat-inactivated medium. It is suggested that the serum is an important component of the culture media and is apparently required in high concentration for the development of the islet cells in vitro. The islet cell types differ in their requirement for serum. The alpha and delta a higher concentration than do the beta cells. 相似文献

Viability of equine embryos produced by oocyte maturation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo culture to the blastocyst stage in vitro was evaluated after transfer of embryos to recipient mares. No pregnancies were produced after transfer of five blastocysts that had been cultured in G media. Transfer of 10 blastocysts cultured in modified DMEM/F-12 medium produced five pregnancies and three live foals; the two lost pregnancies developed only trophoblast (based on transrectal ultrasonography). To evaluate the status of the inner cell mass, equine blastocysts produced in vivo and in vitro were assessed after differential staining. A discrete inner cell mass could not be appreciated in blastocysts of either source after staining; this was attributed to the presence of a network of cells within the trophoblastic vesicle. Because increased medium calcium concentrations have been reported to decrease the incidence of trophoblast-only pregnancy after transfer of equine nuclear transfer embryos, we investigated the effect of increased calcium concentrations during oocyte maturation or during embryo culture. Increasing calcium concentration of culture medium from 2 to 5.6mM during in vitro oocyte maturation did not affect maturation rate (75 and 68%, respectively) or blastocyst development after fertilization (23 and 27%). However, increasing calcium concentration (from 1.3 to 4.9 mM) of medium used for embryo culture significantly decreased blastocyst development (27% versus 13%, respectively) and adversely affected embryo morphology. More work is needed to optimize culture systems for in vitro production of equine embryos. 相似文献

This paper analyses the effect of acid hydrolysis on the differential Giemsa staining of 5-bromo-2deoxyuridine (BrdU) substituted chromatids in human and plant chromosomes, after treatment with a fluorochrome and light. Human lymphocytes and Allium cepa L. root tips were grown in BrdU for two or three cell cycles. Lymphocyte spreadings and meristem squashes were treated with fluorochrome Hoechst 33258, exposed to sunlight, hydrolysed with 5N HCl and stained with Giemsa. This acid hydrolysis improves the differential staining of BrdU substituted and non-substituted chromatin. It also allows the differentiation of sister chromatids with the DNA specific dye azure-A. 相似文献

UV-irradiated human fibroblasts in tissue culture were exposed to photoreactivating light in an attempt to demonstrate a light-dependent loss of thymine dimers from the acid-insoluble fraction of the DNA. The only experimental conditions in which this phenomenon was observed was if the cells were grown for at least 10 days in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's minimum essential medium. Such cells lost a maximum of between 10–30% of the thymine dimers from their DNA during illumination for 1 h. When cells were grown in a variety of other media the phenomenon was not observed. The present experiments do not discriminate between true enzymatic photoreactivation and a medium-dependent photosensitization phenomenon that is not enzymatic in nature. 相似文献

Summary By studying those conditions most favourable for the expression of the fragile site fra(X)(q28) in lymphocytes and in fibroblasts, we have been able to develop a reliable and standardised technique. The technique which gave the best results in lymphocytes was culture in TC 199 for 96 h with addition of methotrexate 10 mg/l for the final 24 h. These same two factors, prolongation of the culture time in TC 199 and addition of methotrexate, gave satisfactory results in fibroblasts.Supported by grants from I.N.S.E.R.M. (A.T.P. 79-110) 相似文献

Media (TCM-199 and Ham's F-10); sera (fetal calf serum, FCS, and buffalo estrous serum, BES); and hormones (FSH, 0.5 ug/ml, LH, 5 ug/ml and estradiol 1 ug/ml) were tested to determine the efficiency of in vitro maturation and fertilization of buffalo follicular oocytes. Immature good quality cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experiments. Each experiment consisted of 6 treatment groups. Oocytes cultured for 24 hours in medium (TCM-199 or Ham's F-10) containing 10% FCS or BES had a significantly higher maturation rate than those in medium alone (P < 0.05). However, the maturation rate was higher in medium supplemented with 10% FCS than with 10% BES. Addition of hormones alone or in combination with sera further improved the maturation rate, but no significant difference was observed in the maturation rate among the 3 hormone-treated groups. Immature oocytes matured in the various cultures were fertilized with frozen-thawed buffalo spermatozoa. Our findings show that hormone and/or serum supplementation of TCM-199 did not improve the fertilization rate. Supplementation of Ham's F-10 with LH alone or in combination with LH + FSH + E(2) and with FCS significantly improved the fertilization rate of oocytes while medium with FSH, E(2) or no hormones did not (P < 0.05); same media supplemented with BES resulted in lower fertilization rates both in the presence or absence of hormones. The results indicate that the culture medium has a marked effect on the fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes. Ham's F-10 + LH + FSH + E(2) supplemented with FCS was the most efficacious culture system of those studied for the in vitro maturation of buffalo oocytes. 相似文献

Small preantral follicles (40 to 90 microns in diameter) from domestic cats were cultured for 10 d using different media (M199 and Dulbecco's MEM) and protein (FCS and BSA) supplements. Culture efficacy was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining and estimation of Brom-desoxyuridine (BrdU)-incorporation into oocytes and granulosa cells. Culture in M199 + FCS and in DMEM + FCS resulted in 21.6% and 38.1%, respectively, of morphologically intact preantral follicles. Adding BSA increased the rate of normal follicles to 51.7% in M199 and to 58.6% in DMEM. Oocytes were found in 40% of the follicles, when DMEM and/or BSA supplementation was used, while M199 with FCS induced acute loss of oocytes in 85% of the follicles. About 10% of the oocytes contained degenerating chromatin. Measurement of BrdU-incorporation during culture allows for quick and effective assessment of follicle viability in vitro. Comparison of M199 and Dulbecco's MEM, both with FCS or BSA and DMEM with or without pyruvate/lactate, indicated that Dulbecco's MEM + BSA without pyruvate and lactate is the best medium for culture of cat follicles. However, further research of suitable medium supplements is needed. 相似文献

To determine a concentration of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) sufficient for sister chromatid differentiation (SCD), and yet having a minimal effect on the number of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), we assessed the effect produced on the number of SCEs by low concentrations (1, 3, and 10 micrograms/mL) of BrdU. SCD was not obtained in 19% of the 31 subjects with 1 microgram/mL of BrdU, while the differentiation was adequate for all samples treated with 3 and 10 micrograms/mL. We statistically analysed the effects of these three different doses and found no significant difference in the number of SCEs obtained with the doses of 1 and 3 micrograms/mL, but a significant difference was observed between these two concentrations and 10 micrograms/mL. We therefore suggest that the dose of 3 micrograms/mL, while sufficient to produce reliable differential staining, still permits an adequate evaluation of the base line of SCEs and appears to enhance the sensitivity of the test to evaluate between-individual variations. Our experiments also underline that SCE counts should include the centromere exchanges. 相似文献

The spontaneous incidence of mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CA), micronucleus counts (MNC), sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and cell cycle kinetics (CCK) were studied in human peripheral blood lymphocytes grown in M199 and RPMI-1640 culture media. Lower frequencies of CAs, MNC and SCEs were observed in lymphocytes cultured in medium RPMI-1640. The reduction of the MI and the replicative index in M199 medium showed delayed cell cycle kinetics. 相似文献

Comparison of various maturation treatments on in vitro maturation of goat oocytes and their early embryonic development and cell numbers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the present study, comparison of 2 different culture media (Ham's F-12 and M-199) for supporting in vitro maturation of goat oocytes, and their subsequent embryonic development was evaluated in the presence or absence of sera (estrous goat serum, EGS and fetal calf serum, FCS) and hormones (FSH, 0.5 ug/ml, LH, 5 ug/ml and estradiol, 1 ug/ml). Neither medium (Ham's F-12 or M-199) when supplemented with EGS and hormones showed any notable changes in the maturation rate nor in cleavage and blastocyst development. The mean cell number for blastocysts was also significantly low (P < 0.05). However, Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with FCS and hormones showed a considerable increase in the maturation rate, but subsequent embryonic development was not appreciably increased. However, maturation, cleavage and blastocyst development rates of oocytes matured in M-199 medium in combination with 10% FCS and hormones were significantly higher (P < 0.05). Mean cell number per blastocyst was also significantly increased in this latter treatment compared with that of the other groups (P < 0.05). The results thus indicated that both the culture medium and serum have a marked effect on maturation and subsequent embryonic development. Further, the results also showed that the combination of M-199 with FSH, LH and E2 supplemented with 10% FCS was the most efficacious medium for in vitro maturation and subsequent embryonic development of the media, sera and hormone combinations studied. 相似文献

This study was conducted to compare in vitro development of bovine morulae in Ham's F-10 and Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (D-PBS) media supplemented with 10% (v/v) normal steer serum. Fifty-three excellent and good embryos were obtained by superovulating 15 non-lactating Holstein cows. Embryos were placed randomly in culture with Ham's F-10 or D-PBS media and development was recorded at 12-h intervals for the duration of culture. All embryos reached early blastocyst, blastocyst and expanded blastocyst stage. Nineteen of 27 embryos (70.1%) cultured in Ham's F-10 developed to hatched blastocyst stage in contrast to three out of 26 in D-PBS (11.5%). The mean developmental scores at 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h of culture were significantly (P<0.001) higher for embryos cultured in Ham's F-10. Also, the mean times to reach early blastocyst (25.84 +/- 6.65 vs 46.67 +/- 9.99 h), blastocyst (44.57 +/- 11.45 vs 61.89 +/- 16.62 h) and expanded blastocyst stage (65.00 +/- 13.20 vs 73.41 +/- 15.80 h) were significantly (P<0.001) shorter for embryos cultured in Ham's F-10. No difference was observed in the mean time to reach hatching (90.00 +/- 10.85 vs 84.00 +/- 16.97 h) and hatched blastocyst stage (97.26 +/- 18.71 vs 96.00 +/- 0.00 h). The results obtained support the concept that Ham's F-10 and normal steer serum provide for optimal bovine embryo development and suggest that 10% normal steer serum could be used as a protein supplement with D-PBS for short term storage and culture of bovine embryos. 相似文献

Summary Fixed chromosomes of human lymphocytes, cultured in the presence of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) during two cell cycles, were exposed to near-ultraviolet irradiation, stained with Giemsa, and after destaining, were subjected to either Coomassie Blue or Feulgen-Schiff staining. A differential reaction of sister chromatids was first revealed by Coomassie Blue staining. Differential staining with Giemsa required a longer irradiation time. This appeared to be reduced after the addition of dithiodipyridine to the cells during their last few hours of culture. The differential pattern obtained after Coomassie Blue staining was the inverse of that obtained after Giemsa staining. From these findings we concluded that the induction of sister chromatid differentiation by light in BrdU-substituted DNA containing chromosomes occurs primarily via chromosomal proteins, presumably by differential breakage of their disulphide bonds. The results of the Feulgen-Schiff staining indicated that differential depurination of BrdU-containing DNA could occur, although only after very prolonged irradiation. A faint though distinctly differential Feulgen-Schiff pattern of sister chromated staining, resulting from differential removal of DNA, was observed after photosensitization by specific DNA-binding dyes. Thus, DNA seems to be affected only under more extreme conditions. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Two liquid media (F-29 and F-32) have been developed for the serial cultivation of T. cruzi amastigotes. F-29 consists of synthetic tissue culture fluid 199, trypticase, hemin and bovine fetal serum; F-32 is F-29 plus chicken plasma. The inocula for serial cultivation in both media contained over 99% epimastigotes. The proportion of structural types in the original inocula did not change significantly during 10 serial passages in F-29 medium at 29.5 C. However, in the 2nd passage in F-29 medium at 35.5 C most of the organisms becme amastigotes, and after several more subcultures over 92% were amastigotes. During the original passage in F-32 medium at 35.5 C. over 90% of the organisms were trypomastigotes with terminal kinetoplasts. After several more passages, and regardless of incubation temperature (29.5–35.5C), over 94% became amastigotes. In either F-29 or F-32 a 7-fold increase of amastigotes may be obtained after 4-day incubation at 35.5 C. 相似文献

The effect of the composition of the culture media on bovine oocyte maturation and embryo development in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We studied the capacity of the cattle oocyte for the resumption of meiosis and achievement of metaphase II in various protein-free culture media (DMEM, TCM-199, Ham's F-10, and Ham's F-12) and the pattern of influence of the estrous serum on in vitro development of fertilized cattle oocytes, with special reference to the time of its addition to the synthetic oviduct fluid containing BSA. In the first experimental series, it was shown that the highest number of oocytes (76.1%) resumed meiosis in DMEM medium. Meiosis was not resumed in Ham's F-12. Intermediate results were obtained for TCM-199 (55.1%), which is commonly used for maturation of cattle oocytes in vitro, and for Ham's F-10 (51.7%). The oocytes reached metaphase II in DMEM at a higher rate (45.3%) than in TCM-199 or Ham's F-10 (29.4 and 8.6%, respectively). In the second experimental series, the estrous serum was added to the culture medium within 20 h (control) or 42 h (experiment) after the beginning of fertilization. The estrous serum did not inhibit the first cleavage division (the percentage of cleaving embryos did not differ reliably: 32.7 and 37.9%, respectively). However, a later serum addition to the culture medium (within 42 h after the beginning of fertilization) reliably increased the percentage of embryos that reached the blastocyst stage (6.5% in the control and 17.8% in the experiment) and the hatched blastocyst stage (2 and 9.2%, respectively). 相似文献

Summary The fra(X) frequencies in metaphases of lymphocytes from seven male patients with X-linked mental retardation and macroorchidism were scored after use of different culture techniques and different times of blood storage. No statistically significant differences were found between the fra(X) rates of lymphocytes grown either in folic acid deficient medium (TC 199) or in medium containing folic acid as well as a folic acid antagonist (methotrexate: MTX, aminopterine: AP). With respect to the effect of the time interval between blood sampling and culture set-up, a statistically significant decrease in the fra(X) frequency was observed in all culture types after 4 or 7 days of blood storage. 相似文献

Summary Currently, short-term culture of insect corpora allata is most often performed in TC199. We now show that L-15B, a medium
widely used in arthropod tissue culture, is superior to TC199 for both short- and long-term culture of cockroach corpora allata.
In 3-h and 48-h incubations, juvenile hormone biosynthesis by corpora allata from Diploptera punctata was significantly higher in L-15B than in TC199. In addition, in both media, corpora allata activity was significantly improved
by flotation of glands at the medium surface. Characteristics of L-15B responsible for its superiority were examined by comparison
of gland activities in several TC199 formulations that had been modified in different ways to be more similar to L-15B. Adjusting
the osmotic pressure of TC199 (288 mOsm/l) to near that of L-15B (362 mOsm/l) and D. punctata hemolymph (360 mOsm/l) significantly improved gland activity during the second 12 h of a 36-h incubation. Increasing the
concentrations of amino acids, sugars, and organic acids in TC199 to the same levels as in L-15B significantly improved gland
activity during both the second and third 12-h intervals of a 36-h incubation. These results suggest that L-15B is superior
to TC199 because L-15B is isoosmotic with D. punctata hemolymph and because L-15B, like cockroach hemolymph, contains a high level of organic constituents. It is therefore more
appropriate to use L-15B than TC199 for short-term in vitro assays of juvenile hormone biosynthesis and for extended corpora allata culture. 相似文献
