Nuclear import of Xenopus egg extract components into cultured cells for reprogramming purposes: a case study on goldfish fin cells

Résumé

Reprogramming of cultured cells using Xenopus egg extract involves controlling four major steps: plasma membrane permeabilization, egg factors import into the nucleus, membrane resealing, and cell proliferation. Using propidium iodide to assess plasma membrane permeability, we established that 90% of the cultured fin cells were permeabilized by digitonin without any cell losses. We showed that egg extract at metaphase II stage was essential to maintain nuclear import function in the permeabilized cells, as assessed with a fusion GFP protein carrying the nuclear import signal NLS. Moreover, the Xenopus-egg-specific Lamin B3 was detected in 87% of the cell nuclei, suggesting that other egg extract reprogramming factors of similar size could successfully enter the nucleus. Lamin B3 labelling was maintained in most cells recovered 24 h after membrane resealing with calcium, and cells successfully resumed cell cycle in culture. In contrast, permeabilized cells that were not treated with egg extract failed to proliferate in culture and died, implying that egg extract provided factor essential to the survival of those cells. To conclude, fish fin cells were successfully primed for treatment with reprogramming factors, and egg extract was shown to play a major role in their survival and recovery after permeabilization.
