摘要

The ordered structure of the leading edge (lamellipodium) of cultured fibroblasts is readily revealed in cells extracted briefly in Triton X- 100-glutaraldehyde mixtures, fixed further in glutaraldehyde, and then negatively stained for electron microscopy. By this procedure, the leading edge regions show a highly organised, three-dimensional network of actin filaments together with variable numbers of radiating actin filament bundles or microspikes. The use of Phalloidin after glutaraldehyde fixation resulted in a marginal improvement in filament order. Processing of the cytoskeletons though the additional steps generally employed for conventional electron microscopy resulted in a marked deterioration or complete disruption of the order of the actin filament networks. In contrast, the actin filaments of the stress fiber bundles were essentially unaffected. Thus, postfixation in osmium tetroxide (1% for 7 min at room temperature) transformed the networks to a reticulum of kinked fibers, resembling those produced by the exposure of muscle F-actin to OsO4 in vitro (P. Maupin-Szamier and T. D. Pollard. 1978. J. Cell Biol. 77:837--852). While limited exposure to OsO4 (0.2+ for 20 min at 0 degrees C) obviated this destruction, dehydration in acetone or ethanol, with or without post-osmication, caused a further and unavoidable disordering and aggregation of the meshwork filaments. The meshwork regions of the leading edge then showed a striking resemblance to the networks hitherto described in critical point-dried preparations of cultured cells. I conclude that much of the "microtrabecular lattice" described by Wolosewick and Porter (1979. J. Cell Biol. 82:114--139) in the latter preparations constitutes actin meshworks and actin filament arrays, with their associated components, that have been distorted and aggregated by the preparative procedures employed.

Maupin-Szamier和TD Pollard 1978.J.Cell Biol.77:837--852)。尽管有限地暴露于OsO4(在0摄氏度下于20分钟内为0.2+)避免了这种破坏,但在丙酮或乙醇中进行脱水,无论是否进行后渗透,都会导致网丝的进一步不可避免的混乱和聚集。然后,前缘的网状区域与迄今为止在培养细胞的关键点干燥制剂中描述的网络表现出惊人的相似性。我得出的结论是,Wolosewick和Porter(1979. J. Cell Biol。82:11​​4--139)在后一种制剂中描述的许多“微小梁网格”构成了肌动蛋白网状结构和肌动蛋白丝阵列,以及它们的相关组件。通过使用的准备程序进行扭曲和汇总。
