Ecdysteroids induce morphological changes in continuous cell lines of Lepidoptera

In the continous cell lines of the Lepidoptera Trichoplusia ni (TN-368) and Spodoptera littoralis (HPB-SL-26), ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone cause a series of morphological changes: some cells aggregate, elongate and extend long thin processes. The extent and rapidity of changes are dose dependent...

Summary:In the continous cell lines of the Lepidoptera Trichoplusia ni (TN-368) and Spodoptera littoralis (HPB-SL-26), ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone cause a series of morphological changes: some cells aggregate, elongate and extend long thin processes. The extent and rapidity of changes are dose dependent, 20-hydroxy-ecdysone being much more active then ecdysone. The continuous cell lines of S. littoralis (UIV-SL-573) and S. frugiperda (IPLB-SF-21) were much less responsive to the presence of the ecdysteroids.
