Untersuchungen zur Herkunft von Fibroblasten in Kulturen (Diffusionskammern) von Peritonealflüssigkeitszellen der Ratte

On the origin of fibroblasts in cultures (diffusion chambers) of rat peritoneal fluid cells

  • Published:
Research in Experimental Medicine

Summary

Peritoneal fluid cells of rats were grown in intraperitoneal implanted diffusion chambers. By cytological and histochemical methods the development of these cells was studied. Many cells died in the chambers which were implanted for 1 to 5 days; by this time eosinophil granulocytes and mastcells mostly had disappeared. During the first 3 days roundshaped macrophages predominated in the cultures. After the 5th day most macrophages had a spindleshaped appearance. Fibroblasts, rarely seen on day 3, often were found after the 5th day, their number slightly increased until the 15th day. In about 3% multinuclear giant cells could be observed. Roundshaped and spindleshaped macrophages were rich in acid phosphatase, fibroblasts usually were enzyme negative. In the multinuclear giant cells enzyme activity was preferentially located in the cytoplasma near the nuclei. For cells of the surrounding peritoneal tissue could not penetrate the filter membranes, the fibroblasts must have been originated from cells which were filled into the diffusion chambers. It is assumed that mononuclear round cells of the peritoneal fluid are able to transform into fibroblasts.

Zusammenfassung

Mit cytologischen und histochemischen Methoden wurde die Differenzierungsfähigkeit von Peritonealflüssigkeitszellen von Ratten in intraperitoneal implantierten Diffusionskammern untersucht. Ein Teil der transplantierten Zellen ging in den ersten Versuchstagen unter. Vom 3. Tag an zeigten die Zellen einen Strukturwandel. Die rundzelligen Makrophagen nahmen bis zum 5. Versuchstag ab, die spindelförmigen Makrophagen, die in geringer Anzahl schon am 1. Versuchstag vorhanden waren, nahmen bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu. In größerer Anzahl traten Fibroblasten erstmals am 5. Versuchstag auf, ihre Anzahl stieg bis zum Versuchsende gering an. Diese Zellen lagen im Gegensatz zu den Makrophagen in synzytialen Verbänden. Während die rundzelligen und spindelförmigen Makrophagen eine starke Aktivität an saurer Phosphatase aufwiesen, waren die Fibroblasten meist enzymnegativ. Es wird angenommen, daß die Fibroblasten aus den mononucleären Rundzellen hervorgehen und am 5.–7. Kulturtag ihre endgültige Struktur entwickelt haben.
