Abstract

FL or WISH cells, originating from the human amnion, were grafted intramuscularly into various strains of mice.

  1. 1.

    When grafted, cells of both lines evoked cartilage formation in their vicinity, provided that the animals were pretreated with cortisone (5 mg) or ACTH (36 u).

  2. 2.

    No host strain differences were found in respect to the cartilage induction.

  3. 3.

    Cartilage was replaced by bone, tissue, which was gradually resorbed within two months.

  4. 4.

    Grafting the FL cells into animals treated with hydrocortisone or imuran and into newborn or X-irradiated mice failed to induce cartilage or bone tissue.

Résumé

Les cellules FL ou WISH provenant de l'amnios humain ont été greffées à des souris d'espèces diverses par voie intramusculaire:

  1. 1.

    Les cellules des deux lignées, greffées à des animaux traités préalablement par la cortisone ou l'ACTH, provoquent la formation du cartilage au voisinage du tissu transplanté.

  2. 2.

    Le méme resultat a été obtenu chez toutes les souris examinées, sans différence selon les espèces.

  3. 3.

    Le cartilage a été remplacé, par de l'os, qui est graduellement résorbé en deux mois.

  4. 4.

    Les cellules FL greffées aux animaux traités par l'hydrocortisone ou l'imurane, ainsi qu'a des animaux irradiés et des souris nouveau-nées, ne provoquent ni la formation de cartilage ni celle d'os.

Zusammenfassung

Menschliche amniotische FL- und WISH-Zellen wurden verschiedenen Mäusestämmen intramuskulär implantiert:

  1. 1.

    Implantierung der beiden Zellreihen in Mäuse, die gleichzeitig mit Cortison oder ACTH behandelt wurden, führten zur Knorpelbildung in der Umgebung der implantierten Zellen.

  2. 2.

    Bei keinem der untersuchten Mäusestämme konnten Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Anregung zur Knorpelbildung festgestellt werden.

  3. 3.

    Knorpel wurde durch Knochengewebe ersetzt und letzters innerhalb von 2 Monaten allmählich resorbiert.

  4. 4.

    Implantation der FL-Zellen in die mit Hydrocortison oder Imuran behandelten oder röntgenbestrahlten oder neugeborenen Mäuse führte zu keiner Knorpel- oder Knocheninduktion.
