    Notes: To identify key molecules that regulate germ cell proliferation and differentiation, we have attempted to isolate protein kinase genes preferentially expressed in germ line cells. One such cDNA cloned from murine embryonic germ(EG) cells encodes a nonreceptor type serine/threonine kinase and is predominantly expressed in the testis, ovary, and spleen of adult mouse. The nucleotide sequence of the entire coding region shows that this clone, designated Plk1(polo like kinase 1), is identical with STPK13 previously cloned from murine erythroleukemia cells. The protein encoded by Plk1 is closely related to the product of Drosophila polo that plays a role in mitosis and meiosis. To define the role of Plk1 in germ cell development, we have examined its expression in murine gonads by in situ hybridization. Here we show that the PlK1 gene is specifically expressed in spermatocytes of diplotene and diakinesis stage, in secondary spermatocytes, and in round spermatids in testes. It is also expressed in growing oocytes and ovulated eggs. The pattern of expression of the Plk1 gene suggests that the gene product is involved in completion of meiotic division, and like the Drosophila polo protein, is a maternal factor active in embryos at the early cleavage stage. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Bone marrow stromal cells selectively stimulate the rapid expansion of lineage-restricted myeloid progenitors (1995)

    Notes: Bone marrow stromal cells serve hematopoietic microenvironments where different blood cells are controlled in their growth and differentiation. To characterize functions of stromal cells, 33 bone marrow stromal cells including preadipocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts were established from transgenic mice harboring temperature-sensitive SV40 T-antigen gene and their selective stimulatory abilities to support large colony formation of lineage-specific hematopoietic progenitor cells (erythroid, monocyte/macrophage, granulocyte, and monocyte-granulocyte) were examined. Among established stromal cells, 27 clones showed erythropoietic stimulatory activity in the presence of erythropoietin. On myeloid progenitors, the stromal cells showed lineage-restricted stimulatory activity and a reciprocal relationship was observed between granulocyte formation and macrophage formation, but these activities were not dependent on the amount of produced colony-stimulating factors (CSFs). Our present study with many stromal cells established from bone marrow indicated that each stromal cell in the bone marrow may provide the preferable microenvironment for a rapid expansion of the lineage-restricted progenitor cells in combination with CSFs. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
