Reversible cell scattering in developing sponges induced by penicillamine.

M Mazzorana, R Garrone

    Journal of Submicroscopic Cytology
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Penicillamine reversibly disrupts sponge development and adhesion by affecting collagen synthesis. This method offers a novel way to isolate functional sponge cells for research.

    Area of Science:

    • Marine Biology
    • Developmental Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Fresh-water sponges exhibit complex development and substratum adhesion.
    • Collagenous basal layers are crucial for sponge structural integrity and attachment.
    • Current methods like EDTA dissociation yield non-migratory sponge cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of penicillamine on sponge development and adhesion.
    • To explore penicillamine as a tool for obtaining viable, migratory sponge cells.

    Main Methods:

    • Exposure of fresh-water sponges to varying penicillamine concentrations (5 x 10(-3) M to 10(-2) M).
    • Microscopic observation of sponge development, structure, and cell behavior.
    • Analysis of cell adhesion and migration on substrata.

    Main Results:

    • Penicillamine reversibly inhibited sponge development and substratum adhesion.
    • Altered sponge structure showed dense cellular tissue and discontinuous epithelium.
    • Isolated cells exhibited migration, unlike EDTA-treated cells.

    Conclusions:

    • Penicillamine disrupts collagenous basal layer synthesis, leading to cell disaggregation.
    • This treatment provides a method for obtaining normal, migratory sponge cells.
    • Potential applications in sponge cell culture and developmental studies.
