Syngeneic transplantation of adrenocytes was investigated in Lewis rats in regard to differentiated hormone secretion and cortex regeneration after bilateral adrenalectomy as an alternative to steroid substitution. Methods. Purified cell suspensions of glomerulosa (density 1.061±0.001 g/ml) and fasciculata (density 1.034±0.003 g/ml) cells were obtained by density gradient separation and were transplanted under the kidney capsule either immediately or after a 29-day culture period. Animals were killed after transplantation of cultured glomerulosa (CG-Tx) or cultured fasciculata cells (CF-Tx), noncultured glomerulosa cells (G-Tx) or non-cultured fasciculata cells (F-Tx), or both cell types (GF-Tx) for morphological studies after 30, 120, and 360 days. Plasma samples were drawn for measurement of corticosterone and aldosterone as well as 24 hr-urine for sodium and potassium levels at day 3, 30, 120, and 360 after transplantation. Results. In primary culture fasciculata cell number remained stationary although glomerulosa cell number increased to almost 10-fold. Vital cortex cells were demonstrated in each explanted graft by histochemistry but only group G-Tx, CG-Tx, and GF-Tx (purified cell suspensions of zona glomerulosa and fasciculata) showed neocortex-like structures. We found plasma (urine) corticosterone to decrease from preoperatively 256–304 ng/ml (226–239 ng/day) in untreated animals to levels about half as high 3 days after transplantation, increasing to normal values in all study groups 30 days after treatment (data given as range). Plasma aldosterone concentrations, 150–180 pg/ml in untreated rats, decreased to nondetectable levels for 1 week after bilateral adrenalectomy. At day 30 group GF-Tx, G-Tx, and CG-Tx showed comparable aldosterone plasma concentrations (104–122 pg/ml); however, levels in F-Tx and CF-Tx were 19–49 pg/ml, and did not increase significantly within the observation period. Conclusions. Cells derived from the zona glomerulosa maintain viability, produce both aldosterone and corticosterone, and regenerate a neocortex with cells that histologically resemble both zona glomerulosa and fasciculata cells. They are therefor suitable for adrenocortical transplantation. In contrast, cells derived from the zona fasciculata maintain viability, but do not regenerate zona glomerulosa and do not produce aldosterone. These results suggest that the cell migration model, in which zona glomerulosa cells can acquire the phenotype of zona fasciculata cells as they can migrate centripetaly, is more likely the correct explanation of adrenocortical zonation.
