Cell
|October 1, 1980
Resumen
Los blastómeros del embrión de ratón temprano desarrollan polaridad superficial cuando están en contacto. El contacto célula-célula, crucial para la polarización, influye en la orientación de los sitios de unión de la concanavalina A.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología del desarrollo Biología del desarrollo.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Embriología Embriología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La polaridad de la superficie es esencial para la diferenciación celular y la formación de tejidos.
- Comprender el desarrollo embrionario temprano requiere conocimientos sobre la polarización de los blastómeros.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el desarrollo de la polaridad superficial en los blastómeros embrionarios tempranos de ratones.
- Para determinar el papel del contacto celular en el establecimiento de la polaridad de los blastómeros.
Principales métodos:
- Se ha estudiado la unión superficial polarizada de la concanavalina A fluoresceinada (FITC-Con A).
- Utilizó blastómeros de 8 células únicas, parejas naturales de 8 células y parejas reagregadas.
- Celdas cultivadas en varios sustratos durante diferentes períodos de tiempo.
Principales resultados:
- El desarrollo de la polaridad superficial es altamente dependiente del contacto celular.
- Más del 50% de las células pareadas mostraron polarización dentro de 4-5 horas.
- La célula más pequeña en una pareja a menudo se polariza más rápido que la célula más grande.
- La orientación de la polaridad fue consistentemente opuesta al punto de contacto célula-célula.
Conclusiones:
- El contacto celular es un factor crítico para iniciar y orientar la polaridad superficial en los blastómeros tempranos del ratón.
- Los hallazgos proporcionan información sobre los mecanismos de polarización celular durante el desarrollo embrionario.

Cleavage and Blastulation
42.3K
After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.

Enlargement of the Plasma Membrane
1.8K
Cell division and enlargement are processes that require precise control. The control ensures that cell division cannot proceed unless the cell has grown to a specific size. A spherical, dividing cell requires an approximately 1.6X increase in its surface area to double its volume. The secretory pathway also has a significant role in cell membrane enlargement. Secretory vesicles that bud off from the Golgi apparatus and later fuse with the plasma membrane during exocytosis are a major source of...

The Phragmoplast
5.0K
Cell division is essential for organismal growth and development. In animal cells, the central spindle and its associated proteins form the midbody, a structure that has an essential role in cytokinesis. In plants, the central spindle, along with the microtubules, actin, and other cell components, matures into the phragmoplast, which is necessary for cytokinesis. Unlike the stationary midbody, the phragmoplast expands centrifugally, eventually leading to the formation of the new cell wall.

Cell Motility through Blebbing
1.9K
Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and single-celled organisms like the amoeba. The primary function of blebs is cell locomotion and apoptosis, but they are also found during necrosis and cell division. The life cycle of a bleb comprises an initiation phase followed by the expansion and retraction phases.

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces
2.7K
In animal cells, the extracellular matrix allows cells within tissues to withstand external stresses and transmits signals from the outside of the cell to the inside. The extracellular matrix is extensive, and its composition varies between different types of tissues. For example, the reticular fibers and ground substance make up the ECM in loose connective tissue, while collagen and bone minerals make up the ECM of bone tissue.

Smooth Muscle Contraction
8.7K
Smooth muscle contraction is a complex process vital for various bodily functions, from maintaining blood vessel tension to facilitating the movement of food through the digestive tract. Unlike striated muscles, smooth muscle contraction begins more slowly and lasts longer.
The onset of contraction is triggered by an increase in calcium ions within the sarcoplasm, similar to the process in striated muscle. However, smooth muscles have a relatively smaller reservoir of the sarcoplasmic...
