    Notes: To increase our understanding of rat embryos in culture and to attempt the isolation of blastocyst-derived cell lines, we examinated the initial growth behaviour of rat blastocysts from four strains of rat on four different feeder cell layers. The feeders used were a continuous cell line of murine embryonic fibroblasts (STO), primary mouse (MEF) or primary rat (REF) embryonic fibroblasts, and a continuous cell line of rat uterine epithelial cells (RUCs). A medium that gave optimum plating efficiencies for murine ES cells was used in the rat embryo culture. Each culture system allowed hatching and attachment of the blastocysts, that is, the behaviour was similar on each feeder and each strain for the first 2 days in culture. Subsequently, there was a rapid differentiation of the Inner Cell Mass (ICM) cells on fibroblastic feeder cell layers (STO 〉 MEF 〉 REF), and this was generally complete after 3-6 days in primary culture. On RUCs, the ICM was found to increase in size without differentiation up to and including day 4 and in some cases longer. Embryo-derived cells were obtained by disaggregating and passaging ICMs on REF and RUC feeders. Rounded, refractile, and epithelial-like cells were isolated on REF and colonies of ES-like cells on the RUCs. The ES-like cells were positive for expression of alkaline phosphatase and stage-specific embryonic-antigen 1. This is an important first step towards the derivation and culture of pluripotent ES cells from the rat. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The localization of fibrillarin and nucleolin in the nuclei of mouse two-cell, four-cell, and eight-cell embryos has been studied using immunofluorescent staining with specific antibodies. In all of these cleavage stages, both antigens were associated exclusively with the peripheral region of the nucleolus precursor bodies (NPBs). The original speckled fluorescent staining pattern in the early two-cell stage was progressively changed into a continuous fluorescent-positive layer localized in the cortex of the NPBs in the four-cell embryos. The compact central area of NPBs was never stained. Both proteins were colocalized in the same substructures of developing nucleoli. In order to analyze the interaction of chromatin, with NPBs, DNA structures were specifically immunolbelled. At the time of resumption of nucleolar transcription (in the two-cell mouse embryo), DNA was detected at the periphery of, but not penetrating into, NPBs. Our results confirm the view that the cortical region of NPBs could represent a nucleolonemal area involved in the resumption of nucleolar transcription in the early mouse embryo. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The present study was undertaken to determine the expression of genes for epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGF-R) in various components of medium-sized porcine ovarian follicles by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and to localize their peptides during folliculogenesis by immunocytochemistry. A strong band for EGF mRNA transcript was detected in the oocyte, whereas the signal in cumulus, granulosa, and theca cells was very weak but detectable. In contrast, a very strong EGF-R mRNA signal was observed in cumulus, granulosa, and theca cells, whereas the signal in the oocyte was very weak. EGF peptide was localized in the oocyte, cumulus, and granulosa cells of all stages of follicle. In the oocyte, the intensity of immunostaining was more pronounced in primordial and primary follicles, compared to antral follicles. In large antral follicles, immuno-staining was pronounced in granulosa cells, whereas theca cells showed little or no detectable staining for EGF. EGF staining was also observed in the cumulus and granulosa cells of follicles undergoing atresia. EGF-R immunostaining was observed in the oocytes of primordial and primary follicles, and in cumulus, granulosa, and theca cells of all stages of follicle, including atretic follicles. In large antral follicles, the intensity of immunostaining was more pronounced in theca cells than in granulosa cells, and the oocyte showed little or no detectable staining. No immunostaining was observed when the primary antibody was replaced with preimmune serum (EGF), or preabsorbed with the control peptide (EGF-R), confirming the specificity of the staining procedures. These results suggest a local follicular production of EGF and its receptor in the porcine ovary, and thus a role for EGF of follicular origin in the regulation of follicular development in autocrine/paracrine fashion. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Amphiregulin (Ar) and Cripto-1 (Cr-1) are growth promoting peptides that share amino acid sequence homology with epidermal growth factor (EGF). The present study examined Ar and Cr-1 mRNA and protein expression during various stages of C57BL/6 mouse mammary morphogenesis. Reverse transciption-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect transcripts for Ar and Cr-1 at all stages of mammary development. Immunocytochemical (ICC) localization demonstrated that in virgin 4-week to mature 12-week-old mouse fourth inguinal mammary gland, Ar and Cr-1 are expressed in the stromal cells, luminal epithelial cells, and myoepithelial cells of the branching ducts. Ar, and to lesser extent Cr-1, were also found in the epithelial cap cells and in the luminal epithelial cells of the advancing terminal end bud (TEB) from virgin 4-week and 6-week-old mice. Western blot analysis demonstrated that both Ar (28 and 26 kDa) and Cr-1 (90, 67, 56, and 21 kDa) proteins are expressed in virgin, 13.5 day midpregnant and in the 14 day lactating mammary gland. In addition, Ar and Cr-1 are associated with developing alveolar structures as determined by ICC. These results imply that together with EGF and transforming growth factor alpha (TGFα), Ar and Cr-1 may play salient roles as modifiers in the morphogenesis and differentiation of the mammary gland. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
