Indirect immunofluorescent labeling of different epithelial cell lines for intermediate filaments of the prekeratin type revealed prominent changes in the organization of prekeratin during mitosis. In 3 out of 4 cell lines tested [human embryonic intestinal cell] Henle-407, [human epitheloid carcinoma] A-431 and [human cervical carcinoma cell] HeLa cells) the filamentous prekeratin networks disappeared at the initiation of mitosis and the immunofluorescent labeling was concentrated in small cytoplasmic bodies. This observation was obtained with both polyspecific rabbit anti-bovine prekeratin antibodies and with monospecific antibodies produced by mouse hybridomas. In a 4th cell line, [rat kangaroo kidney PtK2 cell] PtK2, prekeratin filaments were retained throughout mitosis, mainly in the mitotic poles, whereas the central areas of the cells were apparently devoid of filaments. The addition of colchicine to the different cultured cells induced alterations in the organization of prekeratin filaments which were usually manifested by the formation of thicker filament bundles. It did not induce the formation of the prekeratin-cytoplasmic bodies in interphase cells. Upon prolonged incubation in the presence of colchicine, there was an increase in the number of mitotically arrested cells and a parallel increase in the number of cells containing prekeratin cytoplasmic bodies. Apparently, the state of organization of prekeratin in these cells is cell-cycle-dependent and may be modulated to permit radical shape changes as those occurring during mitosis.
