Morphological correlates of transformation in cultured C3H/10T1/2 mouse embryo cells.

Abstract:

:In efforts to determine common and consistent morphological parameters of transformation in C3H/10T1/2 cells, 15 cell lines transformed by different carcinogens were examined with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and compared to non-transformed cells. Cell lines were studied at different passages, at different cell densities, and after growth as anchorage dependent or independent cultures. The transformed cell lines could be distinguished in the SEM from non-transformed cultures by the expression of one or more of the following morphological characteristics: formation of mini- or macro-foci (random piling of cells on top of each other), pleiomorphism in cell size and shape, and cell surface complexity. The extent to which these characteristics were expressed varied widely in the different transformed cell lines. Light microscopic scoring for different types of foci also revealed broad variability among the different transformed lines. At the SEM level, cell lines could not be characterized as transformed on an individual cell basis. However, all transformed cell lines could be definitively characterized as transformed on a population basis due to the presence of mini-foci. The various transformed cell lines were classified semi-quantitatively into categories based on the extent of expression of the different morphological characteristics. There was broad correspondence between the morphological classification and the relative plating efficiencies of the cell lines in soft agarose.
