Cell proliferation in ectodermal explants from Xenopus embryos.
Winklbauer R
.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Dissociated prospective ectoderm cells from Xenopus laevis embryos divide autonomously up to the 17th division cycle of the embryo. To examine the requirements for the further proliferation of these cells, the continuation of cell division in compact ectodermal explants beyond the 17th division cycle has been studied. Such explants develop into aggregates of epidermal cells, as can be shown immunohistochemically with an anti-serum against Xenopus epidermal cytokeratin. Cell division in these explants is comparable to the in vivo proliferation rate at least during the first 24 h of cultivation, that is, well beyond the 17th division cycle. Thus, epidermal cells are provided with all the factors necessary for continued proliferation, but these can be effective only when the cells form tight aggregates. The long-term changes in cell number are complex. Mitotic figures are present until the explants disintegrate after 3-4 days. However, the total cell number per explant does not increase during later development. The production of cells by mitotic divisions is likely to be countered by the loss of cells due to cell death, which is indicated by the presence of pyknotic nuclei.
