Cytochalasin B inhibition of endothelial proliferation at wound edges in vitro
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cytochalasin B prevents both migration and wound-associated replication when applied to wounded monolayers of bovine endothelium in tissue culture. The normal low background rate of replication in undisturbed areas of the cultures is not inhibited by cytochalasin B. These results suggest that some form of movement may be required for initiation of wound-associated replication by endothelial cells.

Retinal pigment epithelium wound closure in vitro. Pharmacologic inhibition.
Early-passage bovine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells were grown to confluence in 24-well plates, and a central defect was created mechanically in the monolayer within quadruplicate wells, sequentially over 9 days. Closure of the wounded area occurred by single-cell migration of elongated RPE cells from the edge of the wound and subsequent cell proliferation. Ten days after wounding, the ...
متن کاملP-229: Chromosomal Analysis of Parthenogenetic Mouse Embryos Generated from In Vitro Activated Oocytes by Hydrostatic Pressure and Ethanol and Cytochalasin B
Background: Studies of preimplantation stage embryos by classic cytogenetic techniques have limitations, starting with the need for good metaphase stage when only one third of all analyzed embryos may show good quality metaphases. The incidence of chromosome anomalies in embryos produced by in vitro procedures is generally higher than that of embryos formed in vivo. Pressure specifically affect...
متن کاملIn vitro endothelial wound repair. Interaction of cell migration and proliferation.
Most re-endothelialization requires both cell migration and cell proliferation. To study the association between cell migration and the initiation of DNA synthesis in an in vitro wound model, confluent cultures of porcine aortic endothelial cells grown on glass coverslips were scraped to remove half of the monolayer. Treatment with 1 ng/ml of taxol, a microtubule stabilizing drug, for 24 hours ...
متن کاملMicrotubule-organizing centers and cell migration: effect of inhibition of migration and microtubule disruption in endothelial cells
We have previously shown that microtubule-organizing centers (MTOC's) become preferentially oriented towards the leading edge of migrating endothelial cells (EC's) at the margin of an experimentally induced wound made in a confluent EC monolayer. To learn more about the mechanism responsible for the reorientation of MTOC's and to determine whether a similar reorientation takes place when cell m...
متن کاملImpaired wound repair in adult endoglin heterozygous mice associated with lower NO bioavailability.
Endoglin (Eng) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is mainly expressed in endothelial cells, but it is also present in the epidermis and skin appendages. To address the role of Eng in cutaneous wound healing, we compared the kinetics of reepithelialization in Eng heterozygous null (Eng(+/-)) mice and their normal littermates (Eng(+/+)) following skin wounds. The wound area was significantly la...
