Abstract:
:The distribution of microfilament bundles in cells was examined using antibodies to fibroblast myosin and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. There is no correlation between the presence of bundles of microfilaments and normal growth control. A normal cell line (Balb/c 3T3) cultured on a poorly adhesive substratum showed no microfilament bundles. Similarly, a mutant cell line (AD6) with normal growth, but a rounded shape due to defective adhesiveness to substratum, showed no bundle formation. On the other hand, two transformed cell lines with a flat morphology (Swiss SV3T3 and Balb MSV-85) showed extensive bundle formation. When a transformed cell line with poor adhesiveness (MC5-5) was treated with CSP (a major surface glycoprotein of normal cells) which increases adhesiveness to substratum, the cells formed extensive microfilament bundles without any decrease in growth. We conclude that the distribution of microfilament bundles is related to adhesiveness to substratum and cell shape but not to growth properties.
