The organization of microfilaments and microtubules in cultured cells [mouse fibroblast 3T3 cells, rat mammary fibroblasts rat mammary carcinoma] before and after the addition of cytochalasin B (CB) was studied both by EM and immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies specific for actin, tubulin and tropomyosin. CB induces a rapid disorganization of normal microfilament bundles. Star-like patches of actin and tropomyosin are visualized in immunofluorescence microscopy and dense aggregates of condensed microfilaments are seen in EM. The integrity of the microtubules is not changed by CB treatment. Addition of CB to glycerinated cells, in contrast to normal cells, does not result in the disorganizati-n of microfilament bundles. CB-treated glycerinated models can still contract upon addition of ATP. Thus the CB-induced rearrangement of microfilament bundles occurs only in vivo and not in glycerinated cell contractility models.
