    Abstract Mesenchymal cells were separated with the aid of EDTA, dispase, collagenase and hyaluronidase from tail fins of Rana catesbeiana tadpoles and were cultured to examine their morphology and response to thyroid hormone, which controls metamorphosis. The mensenchymal tissue consisted of two main types of cells, macrophage-like cells (M cells) and fibroblastic cells (F cells), distinguishable by their morphological and biochemical characteristics. M cells were preferentially located near the boundary between the mesenchyme and the epidermis. They were more adhesive to the plastic culture dishes than F cells. The M cells developed a bizarre rod-like branching process during one week of culture, which appeared to be identical to the process formed by mammalian macrophages undergoing clasmatosis. M cells cultured for more than one week tended to fuse together forming multinuclear giant cells. F cells were found uniformly in the tissue and were active in collagen biosynthesis. Thyroid hormone at a physiological concentration greatly reduced the life span of F cells, but did not reduce that of M cells.

    Abstract Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP, a specific inhibitor of collagenase) was found to inhibit thyroid hormone-induced tail regression, suggesting the important role of collagenase in this process. Collagenase was purified from culture media of back skin of tadpole of bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. Anti-tadpole collagenase polyclonal antisera were obtained against the purified enzyme. The antibody inhibited the activity of tadpole collagenase. The antisera reacted to tissues of adult bullfrogs, tadpoles of african clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, and adult newts, Cynopus pyrrhogaster, and also reacted to human fibroblast collagenase. Immunoblot analyses suggested that tadpole collagenase lacks the procollagenase which is generally found in mammalian collagenases. Intense immunological stains were observed for the tissues of thyroid hormone-treated tadpoles as compared to those of untreated animals. Thyroid hormone increased amounts of collagenase not only in epidermal layer but also in mesenchymal tissues including fibroblastic cells.

    Abstract Degradation of tail muscle proteins was investigated during metamorphosis of Rana catesbeiana, tadpole. Regressing tail muscle contained actomyosin which was comparable to that of non-regressing tail muscle in its physico-chemical character, althouth the actomyosin content of the former tissue decreased as compared to the latter. However, when muscle proteins were extracted in the SDS-containing medium (TSM) and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we found that the protein band corresponding to actin disappeared completely during the late climax stage of metamorphosis. Detailed studies on this phenomenon showed that the apparent absence of actin on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was dependent upon the metamorphic stages of the tadpoles investigated. When TSM extract from the premetamorphic tadpole tail muscles which contained actin was incubated with the same extract from tadpoles of the climax stage, actin derived from premetamorphic tadpole disappeared on gel electrophoresis, indicating that tail muscle tissues of the climax stages contain the actin-degrading enzyme. Characterization of the enzyme was performed with a crude extract using actin prepared from rabbit thigh muscle as a substrate. Actin degrading activity showed incubation time- and temperature-dependency and the activity decreased gradually when the extract was preheated at increasing temperatures with the complete inactivation at 100°C. The major degradation products of actin hydrolysis by the enzyme had a Mr=28,000 and 14,000 which indicated the enzyme splits actin at a specific point. The activity had an optimum pH of 7.5 and was inhibited by leupeptin and iodoacetate and required the presence of a thiol reagent.

    Abstract The pattern of tissue degradation in the tadpole tail of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, was studied histologically and biochemically. Tadpoles at four metamorphic stages (premetamorphic stage, stage XIII; prometamorphic stage, stage XVIII; early to middle climax stage, stage XXII; late climax stage, stage XXIII) were examined. In the histological study, tissues were stained by two different methods, i.e., Masson's trichrome stain and Van Gieson's stain. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Muscle tissues degenerated earlier thatn connective tissues; 2) Collagen density increased as tissue degraded; 3) At stage XXIII, degenerating and fragmented muscle tissues, surrounded by connective tissues, were seen, and 4) At the late climax stage, cell density was greatly increased as compared to preceding stages. The biochemical studies are summarized as follows; 1) The general catabolic pattern of tail proteins seems to differ between the premetamorphic and late climax stages; 2) The total hydroxyproline content per unit wet weight of the tail increased significantly at the late climax stage as compared to the premetamorphic stage, supporting the histological observations, and 3) Collagen degradation products were obtained at the late climax stage on Sephadex G-75 columns.
