摘要
Timed morulae of different stages of development were exposed to cytochalasin B causing depolymerisation of microfilaments and to ECCD-1 antibodies interacting with Ca2+-dependent adhesion molecules or cultured in the absence of calcium. All three treatments decompacted mid-morula-stage embryos within one hour. Late morulae were resistant to ECCD-1 antibody treatment and relatively resistant to calcium-free cultivation, but not to cytochalasin B treatment. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the decompacting treatments not only loosened the interblastomere contacts but also resulted in rearrangement of the cell surface microvilli. Transmission electron microscopy showed that normal, untreated embryos had specialized membrane junctions in the most apical regions of the interblastomere contacts. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that these apical junction areas contained vinculin, a protein typical of adherent junctions. Upon decompaction the apical junctions disappeared completely. When transferred back to the normal medium, the embryos rapidly started to recompact. Simultaneously the apical junctions and cell surface microvilli reassumed the organization characteristic of the morula stage. Late morulae that were resistant to treatment had normal apical junctional areas. During subcultivation in the normal medium, the treated morulae developed into morphologically normal blastocysts. These data indicate that adherent-type junctions and cell surface microvilli participate in the initiation and maintenance of compaction of morula-stage embryos. © 1990.
