The intermediate-sized filaments present in epidermal keratinocytes derived from mouse skin and in an established cell line (HEL [murine epidermal C3H cells]) derived from spontaneous transformation of murine keratinocytes grown in vitro, were examined by immunofluorescence microscopy. This was done by using antibodies directed against subunit proteins of different classes of intermediate-sized filaments, and by EM and gel electrophoresis of cytoskeletal preparations highly enriched in intermediate-sized filaments. The keratinocytes derived from neonatal skin, which are capable of only limited replication in vitro, show only a single type of intermediate-sized filaments, i.e., the tonofibril-like arrays of filaments containing prekeratin. HEL cells, which proliferate indefinitely in vitro, retain the tonofilament-like structures typical of differentiated epidermal cells and display intermediate-sized filaments of the vimentin type, i.e., the filament system typical of mesenchymal and mesenchyme-derived cells. Vimentin-type filaments in epidermal cells in culture may be related to the transformed state or in vitro growth conditions and other differentiated epithelial cells proliferating in vitro may have more than 1 system of intermediate-sized filaments.
