Presence of multipotential hemopoietic cells in teratocarcinoma cultures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous investigations have shown that the teratocarcinoma line PCC3/A/1 is able to differentiate in vitro to produce red blood cells of the primitive hemopoietic cell population of the mouse embryo. The present paper demonstrates the presence in the same cultures of multipotential cells capable of giving rise to colonies containing erythrocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes when stimulated by pokeweed-mitogen spleen-cell conditioned medium.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor enhances interleukin 3-dependent proliferation of multipotential hemopoietic progenitors.
In cultures of spleen cells from normal mice, recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) supported the formation of multipotential blast cell colonies. Serial replating of the blast cell colonies in the presence of G-CSF, however, failed to demonstrate any direct effect of G-CSF on murine multipotential progenitors. We therefore examined the effects of G-CSF in combination ...
متن کاملContact-mediated myogenesis and increased acetylcholinesterase activity in primary cultures of mouse teratocarcinoma cells.
Transplantable mouse teratomas are known to contain multipotential teratocarcinoma stem cells analogous to early embryo cells and capable of giving rise to a wide variety of specialized cell types in vivo when they attach to a substratum; if they are grown instead in suspension in the body cavity, they form multicellular embryoid bodies which proliferate with little or no cell specialization. T...
متن کاملPurified interleukin-3 and erythropoietin support the terminal differentiation of hemopoietic progenitors in serum-free culture.
We studied the effect of purified interleukin-3 (IL-3) and erythropoietin on colony formation by hemopoietic progenitors in serum-free cultures of spleen cells from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mice. In the presence of IL-3 alone, most of the multilineage (three or more lineages) colonies did not contain erythroid cells. However, in the presence of IL-3 and erythropoietin, most of the multilin...

We investigated the effects of B cell stimulatory factor 2/interleukin 6 (BSF-2/IL-6) on the development of murine hemopoietic progenitors using serum-containing culture and serum-free culture. In serum-containing culture, BSF-2 mainly supported multipotential blast cell colonies from spleen cells of normal and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated mice. In serum-free culture, no colony growth was seen...

We have been investigating the pathogenesis of teratocarcinomas, particularly the development of the adult, apparently benign, differentiated struc tures common to them. Although nothing is known concerning the mechanism of the changes involved, we have demonstrated that the differen tiated tissues of a teratocarcinoma are derived from embryonic cell types found within the tumor (12). These emb...
