Summary A serum-free primary culture system has been developed which allows for three-dimensional growth and differentiation of normal
rat mammary epithelial cells (RMECs) within an extracellular matrix preparation. RMECs were isolated from mamary glands of
immature 50- to 60-d-old rats and the organoids embedded within a reconstituted basement membrane matrix prepared from the
Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm sarcoma. Cells grown in a serum-free media consisting of phenol red-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's
medium-F12 culture medium containing 10 μg/ml insulin, 1 μg/ml prolactin, 1 μg/ml progesterone, 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone, 10
ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF), 1 mg/ml fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA), 5 μg/ml transferrin, and 5 μM ascorbic acid proliferated extensively (15- to 20-fold increase in cell number as quantitated using the MTT dye assay) over
a 2- to 3-wk culture period and remained viable for months in culture. Several types of colonies were observed including the
alveolarlike budding cluster which predominates at later times in culture, units with no or various degrees of ductal-like
projections, stellate colonies, and two-and three-dimensional web units. Optimal proliferation required insulin, prolactin,
progesterone, EGF, and bovine serum albumin. Hydrocortisone was not required for proliferation, but the colonies developing
in its absence were morphologically altered, with a high frequency of colonies that formed an extensively branched network
with many fine projections. Cell proliferation was also dependent on substratum, with significantly less growth and development
occurring in RMECs grown within a type I collagen gel matrix compared to RMECs grown within the reconstituted basement membrane.
In conjunction with other studies demonstrating extensive differentiation as well as proliferation, it is concluded that this
model should prove to be an improtant tool to study the hormonal regulation of the growth and development of rat mammary cells.

Summary Five human tumor cell lines were studied for growth factor requirements and for replication in serum-free media. Of the five
tumor lines HT-29 (colon carcinoma), TWI (melanoma), A-549 (lung carcinoma), Panc-1, (carcinoma of the pancreas) and EJ, (bladder
carcinoma) only HT-29 and TWI grew in the serum-free medium (SFM). In a series of additional experiments, a combination of
transferrin (5 μg/ml), insulin (5 μg/ml), triiodothyronine (2×10−10
M), epidermal growth factor (20 ng/ml), and selenium (5 ng/ml) was added to Chee’s essential medium (CEM) without serum (C-TITES
medium). The C-TITES modification of CEM was found to allow optimal replication of HT-29 and TWI cells. Both HT-29 and TWI
cells have replicated continuously in C-TITES medium for periods of more than 15 mo. These cells replicate with slightly lower
doubling times than in CEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Deletion of insulin or transferrin from the C-TITES medium
resulted in cessation of cell growth of HT-29 and TWI. HT-29 assumed a somewhat rounded morphology, whereas TWI grew with
the characteristic fibroblastic morphology in C-TITES medium. Cell line EJ did not grow in C-TITES medium. The other two cell
lines, A-549 and Panc-1, grew in C-TITES medium but their growth rate was much slower than that in SSM. Availability of cell
lines that can be propagated in serum-free, hormone-supplemented medium may aid in the study of the mechanisms by which hormones
influence cell growth.

Growth and differentiation in cultured human thyroid cells: Effects of epidermal growth factor and thyrotropin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary Human thyroid cells were grown and subcultured in vitro to examine their responses to known hormones and growth factors, and
to serum. The cells were obtained from surgical specimens and were either neoplastic or nonneoplastic. The effects of culture
conditions on cell growth were measured by changes in cell numbers and by stimulation of [3H]thymidine incorporation. The results showed that serum (0.5%) was essential for cell proliferation, and that a mixture of
insulin (10 μg/ml), transferrin (5 μg/ml), hydrocortisone (10 μg/ml), somatostatin (10 ng/ml), and glycyl-histidyl-lysine
(10 ng/ml) enhanced the effect of serum. Maximum growth of the cells was obtained when epidermal growth factor was present
at 10−9
M. Differentiation was measured by production of thyroglobulin, which was found to be stimulated by thyrotropin. This system
provides a means to study the hormonal control of growth and differentiation in human thyroid cells.

Summary An improved serum-free medium has been developed that supports growth of rat mammary tumor line 64–24 with far less protein
supplementation and with a much smaller inoculum than previously possible. An initial survey showed that MCDB 202 supported
clonal growth with 1% dialyzed serum. The remaining serum was then replaced with 5 μg/ml insulin, 10 ng/ml epidermal growth
factor (EGF), 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone, 50 ng/ml ovine prolactin, and 5 μg/ml liposome B (a mixture of soy lecithin, sphingomyelin,
cholesterol, vitamin E, and vitamin E acetate in liposome form). Insulin and EGF are required and growth is improved by hydrocortisone
and prolactin. Estradiol is stimulatory in the absence of liposome B. With adequate iron supplementation, transferrin has
no effect. Liposome B increases growth rate substantially. Most of the growth stimulation can be replaced with phosphatidylethanolamine
or sphingomyelin.

Mouse submandibular epithelial cells can be grown in primary culture using the collagen gel matrix and a chemically defined medium consisting of insulin, transferrin, cholera toxin, and BSA (or FGF). Sustained cell growth leading to a 5–10-fold increase in cell number was observed in less than 2 weeks. In the presence of these additives, clumps of cells proliferate by extending ‘star-like’ projections into the matrix, resulting in three-dimensional outgrowths. The morphology of these outgrowths can be modulated to form a ‘cyst-like’ appearance by deleting BSA and adding cortisol to the basal medium containing insulin, transferrin, cholera toxin and FGF. In brief, a serum-free medium for sustained growth has been devised and a simple manipulation of supplements can modulate the three-dimensional colony morphology in the collagen gel matrix. Finally, the resulting outgrowths can produce epidermal growth factor (EGF) in response to dihydrotestosterone. 相似文献

Summary Anin vitro model to establish primary and subcultures of rat kidney proximal tubule (RPT) cells is described. After excising the kidneys
and separating the cortex, the cortical tissue is digested with the enzyme DNAse-collagenase (Type I) resulting in a high
yield of viable RPT Cells. The isolated RPT cells are then seeded onto rat tail collagen-coated surfaces and grown to confluency
in a serum-free, hormonally defined medium. The cell yield can be increased by transfering the conditioned medium on Day 1
to more rat tail collagen-coated surfaces. RPT cell attachment and morphology was better on rat tail collagen-coated surfaces
than on bovine collagen Type I coated surfaces. The culture medium was a 1∶1 mixture of Ham’s F-12 and Dulbecco’s modified
Eagle’s medium supplemented with bovine serum albumin, insulin, transferrin, selenium, hydrocortisone, triiodothyronine, epidermal
growth factor, and glutamine. The RPT cells became confluent in 7–10 d, at which point they could be subcultured by trypsinizing
and growth in the same medium. In some studies, 10 ng/ml cholera toxin was added to the culture medium. We could passage the
RPT cells up to 14 times in the presence of cholera toxin. The cells were investigated for activity of several markers. The
cells were histochemically positive for alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity and synthesized the intermediate
filament pankeratin. The RPT cells displayed apically directed sodium-dependent active glucose transport in culture. Hence,
the RPT cells retain structural and functional characteristics of transporting renal epithelia in culture. This rat cell culture
model will be a valuable tool for substrate uptake and nephrotoxicity studies. 相似文献

Growth and Differentiation of Primary Cultures of Mouse Mammary Epithelium Embedded in Collagen Gel 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Mammary glands from BALB/cfC3H midpregnant (9–11 days) mice were dissociated with collagenase and pronase, separated on a Percoll gradient, and the epithelial cells were cultured inside collagen gel. The cell number increased three-to five-fold when cultured for 6–8 days in DME/F12 (1: 1) medium containing 3% swine serum, insulin (10 μg/ml), cortisol (1.0 μg/ml), prolactin (10 μg/ml), transferrin (10 μg/ml), and epidermal growth factor (0.01 μg/ml). The casein level, as determined by radioimmunoassay, at the end of this growth phase, was much lower than that present in freshly dissociated cells. In order to stimulate casein production, the gels were released from the sides of the plastic dish and allowed to float for eight days in Waymouth's medium, containing insulin (10 μg/ml), cortisol (5 μg/ml), prolactin (10 μg/ml), and 0.25% bovine serum albumin. The casein level at the end of this differentiation phase was found to be comparable to that seen in the original freshly dissociated cells. Cells grown in DME/F12 (1: 1) medium containing 3% swine serum, insulin (10 μg/ml), and transferrin (10 μg/ml) were still capable of undergoing casein production, indicating that the presence of exogenous lactogenic hormones such as cortisol and prolactin, as well as exogenous growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, is not necessary during the growth phase for subsequent casein production during the differentiation phase. Two factors that seemed more important for subsequent casein stimulation were: (1) releasing collagen gels at the beginning of the differentiation phase, and (2) switching to'differentiation' medium. This present two-step protocol has allowed primary cultures of dissociated midpregnant mouse mammary epithelial cells to undergo several rounds of division inside a collagen gel matrix and to be subsequently stimulated to produce the mammary-specific protein, casein. 相似文献

Summary A serum-free clonal density growth assay was developed for the quantification of the biological activity of human recombinant
insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The assay measures IGF-I stimulated growth of Balb/c 3T3 cells cultured over 4 d on
poly-d-lysine-coated plastic surfaces in a serum-free medium formulation composed of a 1∶1 (vol/vol) mixture of Ham's F12 and Dulbecco's
modified Eagle's media, supplemented with 3.0 ng/ml bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), 10 μg/ml human transferrin,
100 μg/ml ovalbumin, and 1.0 μM dexamethanose. Low-temperature trypsinization of serum-supplemented stock cultures combined with the use of poly-d-lysine-coated plates made it unnecessary to use serum or fibronectin to promote cell attachment and survival. Serum-free
growth conditions were optimized with respect to the concentrations of the supplements. Addition of IGF-I resulted in 3.5-fold
more cells than control cultures without IGF-I after 4 d. Deletion of bFGF resulted in no IGF-I stimulation of growth. The
concentrations of various preparations of IGF-I required to achieve one-half maximal stimulation of cell number (ED50), ranged between 1.25 and 4.7 ng/ml. In parallel assays, IGF-I was 6.6 times more potent than human recombinant insulin-like
growth factor II and 32 times more potent than insulin. When cells were seeded into medium containing IGF-I, transferrin,
ovalbumin, and dexamethasone but no bFGF, growth was minimal. Dose-response addition of bFGF showed an ED50, of 0.9 ng/ml. The methods reported are useful to monitor the biological potency of recombinant and natural-source growth
factors as well as providing a new means of studying the multiple growth factor requirements of Balb/c 3T3 cells in cultures.

Summary Growth of the MCF-7, T47D, and ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells was established in a serum-free defined medium (MOM-1) composed
of a 1∶1 (vol/vol) mixture of Ham's F12 medium and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 15 mM HEPES (pH 7.2), 2 mM 1-glutamine, 20 μg/ml glutathione, 10 μg/ml insulin, 10 μg/ml transferrin (Tf), 10 ng/ml selenous acid, 0.3 nM triiodothyronine, 50 μg/ml ethanolamine, 20 ng/ml epidermal, growth factor, 2.0 nM 17β-estradiol, and 1.0 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA). Proliferation in MOM-1 was 50 to 70% of the serum stimulated rate.
Deletion of components from MOM-1 gave a medium (Tf-BSA) containing only HEPES, 10 μg/ml Tf, and 200 μg/ml BSA, which sustained
MCF-7 and T47D cells in a slowly dividing and mitogen responsive state; ZR-75-1 cells required Tf plus 1.0 mg/ml BSA. In Tf-BSA,
insulin and insulin-like growth factor I(IGF-I) were mitogenic with ED50 values of 2 to 3 ng/ml and 30 to 150 pg/ml, respectively, with MCF-7 cells. The T47D cells were responsive to these factors
in Tf-BSA but required 10-fold higher concentrations for ED50. At saturating concentrations, insulin and IGF-I promoted 1.5 to 3.5 cell population doublings over controls in 8 d. At≤ng/ml
concentrations, epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor II, and basic fibroblast growth factor were mitogenic
for human breast cancer cells in Tf-BSA. Mitogen activities in uterus and pituitary extracts were assayed readily in Tf-BSA.
This new method offers a convenient means of comparing the potencies of growth-promoting factors on human breast cancer cells
without interfering activities known to be present in serum.

Growth of MTW9/PL2 estrogen-responsive rat mammary tumor cells in hormonally defined serum-free media 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary Growth of the estrogen-responsive MTW9/PL2 rat mammary tumor cells was demonstrated in serum-free defined medium (designated
DDM-1) formulated with F12-DME (1:1 vol/vol) supplemented with 15 mM HEPES pH 7.4 insulin 10 μg/ml, transferrin 10 μg/ml, sodium selenite 10 ng/ml, triiodo-l-thyronine 0.3 nM, phosphoethanolamine 5 μM, epidermal growth factor (20 ng/ml), 17 β-estradiol 2 nM, and bovine serum albumin 20 μg/ml. In DDM-1, the growth rate was about one-half that seen in serum-containing medium. When
ethanolamine (50 μM), glutathione (20 μg/ml), and linoleic acid/bovine serum albumin (150 μg/ml) were added (formulation DDM-2), the growth rate
was 80% of serum-containing medium and not seed-density dependent. Deletion of estradiol from DDM-1 or DDM-2 had no effect
on growth rate. Also, cells grown in steroid hormone deficient medium for 4 mo. continued to form estrogen-responsive tumors
in rats as did cells cultured for the same period in 2 nM estradiol. To investigate autocrine growth factor secretion, a third medium (DDM-3) was prepared by deleting insulin, epidermal
growth factor, phosphoethanolamine, estradiol, and both forms of bovine serum albumin from DDM-2. Growth in mitogen-free medium
equaled 86% of the serum-stimulated rate and was seed-density dependent; phenol red deletion from DDM-3 had no effect on growth
rate. Evidence presented suggests that autocrine factors stimulate growth of the MTW9/PL2 cells in DDM-3, and that this secretion
may support the growth of estrogen-responsive cells in culture in the absence of steroid hormone.

Summary Primary and passaged cultures of normal colon epithelial cells, derived from human fetuses (13 to 17 wk of conceptual age)
have been established. These cultures have been passaged 16 times thus far. The cultures have been initiated and maintained
in medium consisting of 50% Dulbecco's minimum essential medium and 50% Ham's F12 medium and supplemented with antibiotics
(penicillin, 100 U/ml; streptomycin, 100 μg/ml); ascorbic acid, 40 μg/ml;l-isoleucine, 50 μg/ml; epidermal growth factor, 20 ng/ml; insulin, 5 μg/ml; cholera toxin, 5 ng/ml; transferrin, 1 μg/ml;
fetal bovine serum (10%); and HEPES, 25 mM final concentration, and incubated at 37°C in humidified gas containing 5% CO2: 95% air.
The cellular and subcellular characteristics of primary and passaged cultures were defined using light microscopy and scanning
and transmission electron microscopy. The cells exhibited microvilli on cell surfaces and showed junctional complexes and
interdigitations between cells. Indented nuclei with dense chromatin and marginated heterochromatin, numerous mitochondria,
rough endoplasmic reticulum, polysomes, and extensive Golgi zones were conspicuous. Also, periodic acid Schiff's reagent-positive
staining of the cells suggests the active synthesis of complex mucopolysaccharides in the cytoplasm.

Epithelial cell cultures derived from the ventral prostate of normal adult mice have been propagated in serum-free medium. The cultures were initiated and maintained in Ham's F-12 nutrient mixture supplemented with insulin (5 micrograms/ml), EGF (10 ng/ml), hydrocortisone (0.5 micrograms/ml), cholera toxin (10 ng/ml), bovine pituitary extract (25 micrograms protein/ml) and antibiotics. The cells exhibited microvilli on cell surfaces, interdigitations and junctional complexes including desmosomes between cells, and cytokeratins in cytoplasm which are characteristic of epithelial cells. In addition, the cells exhibited the tissue-specific markers, prostatic acid phosphatase and prostate-specific antigen. 相似文献

Summary A serum-free medium (HMRI-2) has been developed for the outgrowth and subculture of epithelial cells from normal adult human
ureter and bladder. Medium HMRI-2 consists of Ham’s MCDB 152 with double the amounts of the essential amino acids in Stock
1, low Ca2+ (0.06 mM) and is supplemented with epithelial growth factor, 5 ng/ml; transferrin, 5 μg/ml; insulin, 5 μg/ml; ethanolamine and phosphoethanolamine,
0.1 mM each; hydrocortisone, 2.8×10−6
M; and bovine pituitary extract, 126 μg protein/ml. The cultured cells showed ultrastructural markers of epithelial cells (prekeratin
fibers, tonofilaments, surface microvilli with glycocalyx), exhibited ABO antigens, and had a normal human diploid karyotype.
Primary cultures could be subcultured and also cryopreserved in HMRI-2 in liquid nitrogen. Cells in mass cultures showed a
population doubling time of 40.5±4.5 h and had a maximum in vitro life span of 20 to 25 population doublings. It was observed
that primary outgrowths, secondary cultures, and even cryopreserved cells all retained the capacity to respond to high Ca2+ and serum by differentiation and desquamation. This study has resulted in the availability of easily obtainable serum-free
epithelial cultures from normal adult human ureter and bladder. The useful in vitro life span of these cultures may be important
in future studies of carcinogenesis.

Long-term multiplication of the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line in a serum-free medium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary A new synthetic medium (referred to as GC3) that supports the growth of the Chinese hamster ovary cell line has been developed. It is composed of a 1∶1 mixture of Ham's
F12 and modified Eagle's minimum essential (MEM.S) mediums supplemented with transferrin (10 μg/ml), insulin (80 mU/ml), and
selenium (1×10−7
M). Other more simple supplementations of our basal medium MEM.S/F12 (transferrin+insulin, transferrin+selenium, ferrous iron+selenium)
also give good cell growth responses. Fibronectin or serum pretreatment is not needed for cellular attachment and spreading.
Our culture system is characterized by a continuous serum-free cultivation (more than 200 doublings), a clonal growth, a high
density proliferation, and a rapid growth rate near that of cells in serum-supplemented medium. 相似文献

The hormones which support growth, in vitro, of normal, neonatal human foreskin fibroblasts were determined. Wheresas thrombin and hydrocortisone were major growth stimulants, platelet-derived growth factor was not. Human foreskin fibroblasts grew in a serum-free, biochemically defined medium consisting of epidermal growth factor (100 ng/ml), insulin (100 ng/ml), trasferrin (10 μg/ml), thrombin (1 μg/ml), ascorbic acid (10 μg/ml), and hydrocortisone (5 × 10?5M) in a 1:1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F-12, supplemented with ovalbumin (1 mg/ml) and trace elements. The growth achieved was comparable to that achieved with 5% fetal bovine serum. Neither platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblst growth factor, nor somatomedin activity increased proliferation. This serum-free medium designated Defined Medium F, provides a biochemically defined system for growth and limited subcultivation of human foreskin fibroblasts in vitro. 相似文献

Summary Milk protein gene expression was studied in cell subpopulations of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammary carcinoma cells enriched or depleted for casein production grown on attached collagen gels.
Culture of these cells in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum, insulin (5 μg/ml), hydrocortisone (10 μg/ml), and prolactin
(5 μg/ml) maintained α-, β-, and γ-casein and whey acidic protein mRNAs at levels identical to cells isolated from perphenazine-treated
rats. Whey acidic protein mRNA levels in the tumor cells relative to the 14-d lactating gland were greater than those of the
casein mRNAs. Withdrawal of prolactin from the casein-producing cells resulted in the loss of all four milk protein mRNAs.
Subsequent addition of prolactin to the withdrawn cells caused a rapid accumulation of these mRNAs to prewithdrawal levels.
Milk protein gene expression in this tumor cell subpopulation is modulated by prolactin (in the presence of insulin and hydrocortisone)
in a similar manner to that observed in the normal mammary gland when these tumor cells are cultured on attached collagen
gels.

Effects of steroid hormones in fetal bovine serum on plating and cloning of human cells in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary Fetal bovine sera from each of three different commercial sources were tested for their ability to support cloning of human
fibroblastoid cells in vitro. Cloning efficiencies varied according to serum source. Serum (10 samples) from company A did
not support growth, while sera (10 samples) from companies B and C provided adequate to excellent conditions for cloning and
growth. Cells from neonatal foreskin or embryonic lung responded to each serum similarly. Bovine serum albumin type H7 from
company C supported cell growth in media without serum.
Sera containing 1.0 ng per ml or more of progesterone inhibited growth, whereas sera containing less than 1.0 ng per ml supported
cloning and growth. In the low progesterone sera, the concentration of 17-β-estradiol exceeded 100 pg per ml. Growth supporting
sera could be made non-supportive by adding 0.1 μg per ml of progesterone. The addition to non-supportive sera of 0.1 μg per
ml of 17-β-estradiol or hydrocortisone made these sera supportive of cell growth.
Addition of estrogen or hydrocortisone to a culture medium that inhibits growth, with subsequent reversal of the inhibitory
effect, implies that these hormones competitively regulate growth of responsive cells in vitro.

Growth of mouse vaginal epithelial cells in culture: Effect of sera and supplemented serum-free media 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Summary Normal mouse vaginal epithelial cells isolated from ovariectomized ca. 35-d-old BALB/cCrgl mice were grown in primary culture
using collagen gel metrix and a serum-free medium composed of a 1∶1 mixture of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium and Ham’s
F12 (D:H) medium supplemented with insulin (IN), epidermal growth factor (EGF), cholera toxin, transferrin, and bovine serum
albumin V (BSA). Three-dimensional cellular outgrowths occurred inside the collagen gel matrix. The contribution of each factor
to cell growth was examined by individual addition to the basic D:H medium and by individual deletion from the complete serum-free
medium. When added individually, only IN promoted growth. Deletion of IN from the complete serum-free medium markedly, diminished
growth; deletion of EGF or BSA slightly diminished growth. When horse, fetal bovine, or chicken serum was added to the basal
D:H medium, only with increasing doses of horse serum was there enhanced cell growth. The effect of 17?-estradiol and diethylstilbestrol
on the growth of cells was also tested, using a suboptimal medium of D:H supplemented with BSA and IN, or a minimal medium
supplemented with IN alone. During the 8-d time period, addition of estrogen did not enhance cell growth in either medium.
To date, we have been unable to demonstrate a mitogenic effect of estrogen; rather a dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation
is seen.

Expression of tracheal differentiated functions in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Most dissociated airway epithelial cells in culture express few of their in vivo functions and only to a limited degree. In this report, we demonstrate that hamster tracheal epithelial (HTE) cells cultured on a collagen gel substratum in a serum-free hormone-supplemented medium differentiate to cilia-beating and mucus-secreting cell types. The medium is Ham's F-12 supplemented with insulin, epidermal growth factor, transferrin, hydrocortisone, cholera toxin, bovine hypothalamus extract, and vitamin A. Under these culture conditions, HTE cells exhibit a growth rate of 24 h/population doubling and reach confluency, at a density of 2-5 X 10(4) cells/cm2, within 2 weeks. Both the collagen gel substratum and vitamin A of this culture system are important to the growth and differentiation of HTE cells in vitro. Evidence of HTE cell differentiation has been obtained at both the ultrastructural and the histochemical levels. In addition, a variety of biochemical studies (gel filtration, ion exchange column chromatography, enzyme digestion, nitrous acid treatment, and composition analysis) indicate the production of mucin-like glycoprotein in the HTE cultures. The levels of mucin-like glycoprotein were found to closely correlate with the histochemically quantitated levels of the mucous cell type. Kinetic studies demonstrate that HTE cells rapidly lose their differentiated features during the attachment stage of primary culture but redifferentiation occurs after the cultures reach confluency. The ability of HTE cells to grow and differentiate in this serum-free culture system in the absence of other cell types should greatly facilitate the study of mucociliary functions in vitro. 相似文献

Summary A serum-free culture system was used to compare the nutritional requirements of mouse mammary cells transformed by bovine
papillomavirus type 1 (ID13 cells) and the uninfected parent line (C127 cells). The serum-free, chemically defined medium
used for this study was an MCDB 151-based medium (MCDB 151+S+I), supplemented with epidermal growth factor, transferrin, hydrocortisone,
ethanolamine, phosphoethanolamine, retinoic acid, trace metals, and insulin. Proliferation of either cell type in serum-free
culture required the addition of 250 μg/ml of insulin. ID13 cells have a doubling time of greater than 96 h in MCDB 151+S+I,
whereas C127 cells have a doubling time of 60 h. This is in sharp contrast to the growth characteristics of the two cell types
in 10% fetal bovine serum, where doubling times for the ID13 and C127 cells are 24 and 30 h, respectively. Culture of the
cells in a serum-free medium has therefore revealed that the papillomavirus-transformed cells have more stringent growth requirements
than the uninfected parent line.
