We searched for mitosis phases and performed a comparative evaluation of mitotic index, basic fibro-blast growth factor b (FGFb), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) receptors, cyclin dependent kinase (CDK1)and Cyclin-B expression in fetal, neonate, 3, 5, 8 weeks old rats and experimental OA. Our results showed that mitosisphases were observed in all normal cartilage studied, although, we found a decrease in mitotic index in relation to tissuedevelopment. No mitosis was detected in OA cartilage. We also found a statistical significant reduction in cell number inOA cartilage, compared with the normal tissue. Furthermore, FGFb and TGF-β1 receptors diminished in relation totissue development, and were very scarce in experimental OA. Western blot assays showed CDK-1 expression in allcases, including human-OA cartilage. Similar results were observed for Cyclin-B, except for 8 weeks, when it was notexpressed. Our results suggest that cell division seems to be scarce, if not absent within the OA cartilage studied.Nevertheless, the existence of factors essential for cell division leaves open the question concerning chondrocyteproliferation in OA cartilage, which is likely to be present in the early stages of the disease.展开更多

Efficient plant regeneration was observed when MS basal salts supplied with 3% sorbitol and 3% maltose as carbon sources without hormones (MSac). During this experiment, effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) and abscisic acid (ABA) was assessed on callus growth, plant regeneration and root induction efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties IR-6 and Basmati-370. Callus proliferation rate was highly decreased in both varieties on MS2b (100 mol.m3 NaCl + 0.5 mg'L1 ABA) than MS2a (100 mol'm3 NaCl) cultures significantly. Proline, glycine-betaine and reducing sugars were increased significantly in MS2a and MS2b callusing cultures. However, total proteins were decreased in MS2a, while slightly increased in MS2b. Maximum plant regeneration (9.42 ±0.54 and 10.67 ±0.50 plantlets.callus1) from somatic embryos was observed on MS4c in IR-6 and Basmati-370, while 1.56 ± 0.06 (IR-6) and 0.95 ±0.05 (Basmati-370) plantlets callus1 were observed on MSab (100 mol·m3 NaCl). No plant regeneration was observed on MS4b (100 mol·m3 NaCl + 0.5 mg·L-1 ABA) medium in both varieties. Inhibition of root induction efficiency was high in MSsb (100 mol·m3 NaCl + 0.5 mg·L-1 ABA) than MS5a (100 mol·m3 NaCl) in the stressed cultures (P 〈 0.05). In this experiment, it was concluded that ABA involved in somatic embryogenesis and elevation of NaCl stress, while it causes inhibition of cell's growth as well as its regeneration into plantlets from somatic embryos.展开更多
