Epigenetic drug, DNA demethylating agent 5-azacytidine (5azaC), impairs overall growth of ex vivo cultivated<br />
rat limb buds. The aim of this investigation was to assess proliferative capacity of rat limb buds cultivated with<br />
5azaC at the single cell level. 13-days-old embryos were isolated from pregnant Fisher rat females and limb buds<br />
were microsurgically isolated under the stereomicroscope. They were cultivated in an organ-culture system at the<br />
air-liquid interface in MEM and 50% rat serum. 5-azacytidine (5mmol) was added to the culture medium. During<br />
the second week, explants were processed for immunohistochemistry on Anti-Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen<br />
(PCNA). PCNA positive cells were stereologically evaluated using numerical density (Nv) and results were statistically<br />
compared with Student’s t-test. In both fore-limb and hind-limb explants, either treated or controls, differentiation<br />
proceeded in comparison to 13-days-old limb buds. PCNA was expressed in some cells of the cartilage,<br />
stratified squamous epithelium and mesenchyme. Nv values for PCNA were significantly lower (p
