Abstract：
:A tissue system in which fibroblasts and myocytes from chick embryonic hearts were separately maintained was used to study the toxicity of ethanol. To reproduce the teratogenic effects of acute, high concentrations of ethanol typical of "binge" drinking, an open tissue culture system was employed. With open cultures, the cells were initially exposed to peak alcohol levels for approximately 6 hr and were exposed to decreasing concentrations of ethanol for the remainder of each 24 hr period. After the first day of ethanol exposure, there was substantial cell loss in both fibroblast and myocyte cultures. Alcohol-induced cell loss was dose-dependent. Despite decreased cell density after the first day of ethanol exposure, the surviving cells differentiated into monolayers of fibroblasts or beating cardiac muscle fibers. However, both ethanol-exposed fibroblasts and myocytes appeared atrophic, that is, smaller and shrunken. Electrophoretic analysis or these ethanol-exposed fibroblast and myocyte cultures revealed specific reduction in the cellular contents of alpha-actinin, myosin, and actin. These decreases in cytoskeletal proteins may be responsible for the morphological abnormalities noted in these cells.
