Using filipin as a probe for the presence of membrane cholesterol, the evolution of cholesterol distribution in the apical plasma membrane was studied during estrogen-induced ciliogenesis in quail oviduct and compared with the distribution of intramembrane particles (IMP). Ciliary growth is preceded by the 1st step of microvillus differentiation. Microvilli emerged in membrane domains rich in IMP and devoid of filipin-cholesterol (f-c) complexes. Growing microvillus membrane showed f-c complexes. During ciliary growth, microvilli lengthen from 0.5 to 2 .mu.m, indicating that the microvillar membrane is not a membrane reservoir for ciliogenesis. During ciliary growth, the characteristic ciliary necklace IMP rows appear progressively at the base of cilia. The 1st IMP row was organized in a membrane circlet lacking of f-c complexes, whereas the new shaft membrane in the middle of the circlet exhibited numerous complexes. These 2 different domains of the cilia kept their specificity during ciliary growth. Only the ciliary tip showed fewer complexes than the shaft membrane. The apical membrane of differentiated ciliated cells was thus composed of various domains; the ciliary shaft was full of f-c complexes and poor in IMP, the ciliary necklace was devoid of f-c complexes and rich in IMP; the microvilli membrane was rich in both IMP and f-c complexes; and the interciliary membrane was poor in both f-c complexes and IMP. The undifferentiated cells exhibited an apical membrane in which f-c complexes and IMPs are distributed homogeneously.
