Meios de cultura no desenvolvimento de ápices caulinares de mamoneira (Ricinus communis L.) in vitro

A pesquisa da composição do meio de cultura mais adequado à espécie vegetal e ao tipo de explante empregado é o fator de maior relevância da cultura de tecidos. O cultivo de ápice caulinar com recuperação da planta matriz é uma técnica de grande impacto para a propagação de plantas in vitro, regeneração de plantas livres de vírus, conservação de germoplasma e modificação genética. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar composições do meio de cultivo para organogênese direta in vitro a partir de ápices caulinares pertencentes à população FCA-UNESP-PB de mamoneira (Ricinus communis L.), com vistas à propagação clonal de genótipos elite. Foram testadas quatro formulações: MS básico (T1), MS modificado 1 (T2), MS modificado 2 (T3) e WPM (T4), em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com 20 repetições em cada tratamento, sendo a repetição 1 ápice caulinar/frasco. O T3 apresentou-se superior e diferiu significativamente dos outros tratamentos apresentando 35% dos ápices caulinares diferenciados e desenvolvidos; seguiu-se o T2 com 10% e os tratamentos T1 e T4 não apresentaram diferenciação de tecidos. Os resultados permitiram concluir que os balanceamentos de sais minerais nos meios de cultura avaliados, especialmente a relação NO3 / NH4 e ausência de FeSO4.7H2O, indicaram grande influência no desenvolvimento de ápices caulinares de mamoneira.

Diferenciação miogênica “in vitro” de células tronco mesenquimais murinas de diferentes origens

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of more than 30 genetical disorders characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscle. No effective therapy is available at present. Recent studies have reported that the transplantation of stem cells can offer an important potential therapy for genetic diseases. Adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have been identified as a nonhematopoietic stem cell population capable of self-renewal with the ability to differentiate into many cell lineages, including bone, fat, cartilage and connective tissue. Because of their similarity with muscle progenitor cells, when they are injected in affected individuals, they are able to migrate into areas of skeletal muscle degeneration and participate in the regeneration process. The adipose tissue represents an alternative source of MSCs that, as the MSCs derived from bone marrow, are capable of in vitro differentiation into osteogenic, adipogenic, myogenic and chondrogenic lineages. The objective of this project is to investigate the “in vitro” myogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from murine bone marrow and adipose tissue. Four experimental groups were analyzed: mice from lineages Lama2dy-2J/J and C57black and, C2C12 lineage cells and transformed C2C12 expressing the eGFP protein. MSCs cultures were obtained by flushing the bone marrow femurs and tibials with α-MEM or by the subcutaneous and inguinal fat from the mice. Their characterization was done by flow cytometry and in vitro differentiation. Muscle differentiation was studied through the analysis of the expression of transcriptional factors involved in muscle differentiation and/or the presence and amount of specific proteins from muscle differentiated cell. The pluripotency from bone marrow MSCs of the two lineages was evidenced and, in the muscular differentiation... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Morphology and adhesion on blood components in root surfaces treated by a piezoelectric ultrasonic: an in vitro study

The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphology and adhesion of blood components on root surfaces instrumented with piezoelectric ultrasonic Piezon Master Surgery. Methods 10 teeth were used in this study. The teeth had their proximal divided into four areas that received different treatments: Group 1: untreated control Group 2: scaling with manual instrument; Group 3: scaling with ultrasound; Group 4: Scaling with manual instruments and ultrasound. We obtained 20 samples, 10 of which were used to analyze the morphology and the other 10 were used for analysis of adhesion of blood components. The specimens were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Photomicrographs were analyzed by the scores of adhesion of blood components and the index of root morphology. The results were statistically by the Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney with a significance level of 95%. Results The morphological analysis showed that the Group 1 had a surface unchanged in relation to other groups (Group 1 X Group 2 = 0.0025; Group 1 X Group 3 = 0.0003; Group 1 X Group 4 = 0.0003) and Group 2 presented a smoother surface compared to Group 1 and groups instrumented with ultrasound (Group 2 X Group 3 = 0.0025; Group 2 X Group 4 = 0.0025) there were no statistical differences between the Groups 3 and 4. analysis of adhesion of blood components showed that the Groups 2, 3 and 4 had no statistically significant differences between themselves, but more biocompatible surfaces promoted the surface untreated control (Group 1 X Group 2 = 0.02; Group 1 X Group 3 = 0.04; Group 1 X Group 4 = 0.005). Conclusion The instrumentation with piezoelectric ultrasonic promoted an irregular root surface, but did not negatively affect the adhesion of blood components.
