Stem cells derived from midguts of the caterpillar, Spodoptera littoralis, can be induced to multiply and differentiate in vitro. Ecdysone (E) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) had a concentration-dependent effect: E was more active in cell proliferation and 20E in differentiation. Ecdysteroid receptors in midgut stem cell nuclei were stained with the antibody 9B9. In addition, alpha-arylphorin and four midgut differentiation factors (MDF) specifically stimulated proliferation and differentiation of stem cells, respectively. The activity of a panel of peptide growth factors and hormones on growth and metamorphosis of the insect midgut is discussed.
源自棉铃虫中肠的干细胞可在体外被诱导增殖和分化。蜕皮激素(E)和20-羟基蜕皮激素(20E)具有浓度依赖性效应:E在细胞增殖方面更具活性,而20E在分化方面更具活性。中肠干细胞核中的蜕皮甾体受体用抗体9B9进行染色。此外,α-芳基脂蛋白和四种中肠分化因子(MDF)分别特异性地刺激干细胞的增殖和分化。讨论了一组肽生长因子和激素对昆虫中肠生长和变态的活性。
