[The stromal colony-forming cell (CFUf) count in the bone marrow of mice and the clonal nature of the fibroblast colonies they form].

The clonal nature of FCFC-derived stromal colonies was tested by chromosomal analysis in mixed cultures of CBA and CBAT6T6 bone marrow cells depleted of macrophages and myeloid cells. Inoculation of the bone marrow cell suspensions in flasks coated with poly-l-lysine has revealed practically no stromal aggregates among the explanted cells. The coincidence of karyotypes within the stromal colonies in the mixed cultures proved that the FCFC-derived colonies were cell clones. It was shown by indirect immunofluorescence with antibodies to type 1 collagen that the mouse bone marrow FCFC-derived colonies consisted of stromal fibroblasts. The cloning efficiency of the bone marrow FCFS depends on the explantation density of cells; a stable colony-forming efficiency could be reached only in the presence of feeder cells (irradiated bone marrow). In the bone marrow cells suspensions obtained by trypsinization the amount of FCFC is markedly higher than in the suspensions of mechanically disaggregated bone marrow cells.

[Growth of myeloid plaques on layers of cultured stromal fibroblasts].

The cells of syngeneic bone marrow were added in the primary monolayer cultures of bone marrow, thymus and peritoneal fluid of the mouse. Discrete plaques with several dozens to several thousands of myeloid cells developed on the surface of fibroblast colonies within 2--7 days. It was shown that both the size and rate of formation of myeloid plaques were markedly higher in the culture of thymus fibroblasts than in those of bone marrow and peritoneal fluid fibroblasts. Hence, the stromal fibroblasts of different origin differ from each other by their ability to interact in vitro with hemopoietic precursor cells forming myeloid plaques.

[Comparison of dynamic properties of various globular proteins and polyglutamic acid in alpha-helical and coil states. Rayleigh scattering of Mossbauer radiation data].

Classical model system: Poly-L-glutamic acid (Poly-Glu) was investigated in a disordered coil state (at pH-7.0) and in helix state (at pH 2.0) by Rayleigh scattering of Moessbauer radiation technique. Consider that the coil state of poly-Glu models unfolded (random coil) state and alpha-helix state models the fluctuating secondary structure (during consequent folding of protein) comparative analysis of dynamical properties of poly-Glu in different states with dynamical properties of different proteins in native state (alpha-helical myoglobin and HSA, partially beta-sheet lysozyme) and in intermediate (molten globule) state (alpha-lactalbumin) was performed. This comparison bring some surprising results: native alpha-helical proteins behave itself close to random coil, native partially beta-sheet protein behaves close to fluctuating secondary structure (alpha-helix) and the dynamic behaviour of molten globule state (partially beta-sheet alpha-lactalbumin) is not different from those behaviour of lysozyme and much more rigid than native alpha-helical proteins. As a result one cannot exclude the possibility that folding process and dynamical properties at different steps of the folding are very different for alpha-helical and beta-sheet proteins.
