Mammalian eggs and embryos contain an elaborate cytoskeletal network of “sheets” which are distributed throughout the entire cell cytoplasm. Cytoskeletal sheets are long, planar structures unlike the cytoskeletal networks typical of somatic cells (actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments), which are filamentous. These sheets are not found in mammalian somatic cells nor are they found in nonmammalian eggs or embryos. Evidence that they are, indeed, cytoskeletal in nature is derived from studies demonstrating that 1) the sheets are retained in the detergent-resistant cytoskeleton fraction; 2) there are no associated membranes (determined by freeze-fracture); and 3) the sheets dissociate into filaments at the blastocyst stage of embryogenesis. Embedment-free sections of hamster eggs viewed at 60 kV show sheets running across the egg cytoplasm (Fig. 1). Although this approach provides excellent global views of the sheets and their reorganization during development, the mechanism of image formation for embedment-free sections does not permit evaluation of the sheets at high resolution.

Abstract Investigation of the entomogenous fungus Setosphaeria rostrate LGWB-10 from Harmonia axyridis led to the isolation of four new isocoumarin derivatives, setosphlides A–D (1–4), and four known analogues (5–8). Their planar structures and the relative configurations were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of isocoumarin nucleus for 1–4 were elucidated by their ECD spectra. The C-10 relative configurations for the pair of C-10 epimers (1 and 2) were established by comparing the magnitude of the computed 13C NMR chemical shifts (Δδcalcd.) with the experimental 13C NMR values (Δδexp.) for the epimers. All of the isolated compounds (1–8) were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against four human tumor cell lines MCF-7, MGC-803, HeLa, and Huh-7. Graphic Abstract
