Blebs are cellular protrusions observed in migrating cells and in cells undergoing spreading, cytokinesis, and apoptosis. Here we investigate the flow of cytoplasm during bleb formation and the concurrent changes in cell volume using zebrafish primordial germ cells (PGCs) as an in vivo model. We show that bleb inflation occurs concomitantly with cytoplasmic inflow into it and that during this process the total cell volume does not change. We thus show that bleb formation in primordial germ cells results primarily from redistribution of material within the cell rather than being driven by flow of water from an external source.
水泡是在迁移细胞和正在进行扩散、胞质分裂和细胞凋亡的细胞中观察到的细胞突起。在这里,我们以斑马鱼原始生殖细胞 (PGC) 作为体内模型,研究了水泡形成过程中的细胞质流动和同时发生的细胞体积变化。我们表明,水泡的膨胀伴随着细胞质的流入,在此过程中总细胞体积不变。因此,我们表明,原始生殖细胞中的水泡形成主要是由于细胞内物质的重新分配,而不是由外部来源的水流驱动的。
