Summary Histochemical techniques have been applied to the identification of cell types cultured from human endometrium. Previous work
from this laboratory characterized two principtal cell types found in cultures of endometrium: a mature epithelial cell and
another cell which was classified as the endometrial stromal cell based on light and electron microscopy. In this report we
compare the histochemical staining of endometrial tissue in frozen sections to that of cultured cells. These results confirm
the epithelial and stromal nature of the respective cell types. Several markers were found that could distinguish between
cells of epithelial and stromal origin. The enzymes alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, peroxidase, and β-glucuronidase
were localized in glandular and surface epithelia in frozen sections and in colonies of epithelial cells in culture. Stroma
in frozen sections and cultured stromal cells contained leucine aminopeptidase and fibronectin. Epithelial sections and in
culture could also be distinguished from cells of stromal origin by preferential binding of lotus and peanut lectin. Several
other markers were found in both endometrial epithelium and stroma.

Summary The culturing of human endometrium in conventional plastic dishes and media is only partially successful, mainly because a
growth of a heterogeneous population of cells is achieved. Naturally produced extracellular matrix closely resembles the subepithelial
basement membrane and seems to affect both growth and differentiation of cells. These qualities of the extracellular matrix
(ECM) were applied for obtaining endometrial epithelial cultures. Endometrial tissue specimens were plated after slicing on
ECM-coated dishes and kept for up to 8 d. The growth of a confluent homogeneous tissue composed of polygonal epithelial-like
cells was demonstrated. To further characterize these cells, cultures were examined by scanning electron microscopy and transmission
electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed flattened polygonal cells covered with microvilli, among which
ciliated cells were observed. By transmission electron microscopy the cells were seen as a monolayer, with some cells overlapping,
closely adherent to the matrix. Microvilli, as well as intracellular vacuoles and glycogen granules were observed. Cell type
specific cytoskeletal markers were demonstrated by antibodies to intermediate filament proteins (keratin and epithelial membrane
antigen). Taken together, the morphologic and immunohistochemical studies indicate that a selective growth of the epithelial
component of endometrial tissue was obtained after plating unprocessed endometrial tissue fragments on ECM-coated culture
dishes.

Epithelial cells and stromal cells of the rabbit endometrium were separated by successive enzymic digestion of the uterine mucosa. Isolated cell types were obtained in high yield, with good viability, and were maintained in monolayer cultures for up to 2 weeks. Epithelial cells in monolayers appeared as polygonal cells, displayed contact inhibition, and showed the presence of microvilli on the cell surface, with many desmosomes. Stromal cells grew rapidly to confluence, displayed overgrowth, and had a fibroblastic appearance with an absence of junctional complexes between cells. Indirect immunofluorescence showed uteroglobin on the surface of epithelial but not of stromal cells, and only epithelial cells secreted uteroglobin into the medium. These results confirm the identity of the cells and provide biochemical evidence for the epithelial cellular origin of uteroglobin. The method allows the culture of separate endometrial cell types, which retain their morphology and differentiated function in vitro. 相似文献

Summary A serum-free system has been developed for selective growth and long-term culture of rat thymic epithelial cells. The growth
media is a modification of McKeehan's WAJC 404, plus insulin, cholera toxin, dexamethasone, and epidermal growth factor. Cultures
have been continuously passaged and maintained for over 6 mo., and a cloned cell line, TEA3A1, has been established. These
cells are epithelial, judging by morphology and ultrastructure, and are positive for A2B5 and thymosin α markers for thymic
endocrine cells.

Summary Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activities were significantly higher in proliferative endometrium during the estrogen-dominated
follicular phase of the menstrual cycle than in secretory endometrium after the formation of the progesterone-secreting corpus
luteum. The enzymatic activity was increased about fivefold by renewal of the medium during incubations of endometrial fragments
or isolated endometrial glands. Endometrial adenocarcinoma cells (HEC-1, HEG-50), both in monolayers and suspension, also
responded to medium renewal by increasing ODC activity about 10-fold after 4 h, with subsequent reduction to control levels
after 7 h. These effects were blocked by actinomycin D and cycloheximide. Endometrial stromal cells exhibited highly variable
ODC activities at different passages. Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and sodium molybdate had marked antiproliferative effects
in HEC-50 cultures, reducing cell numbers to 10 to 20% of control values 11 d after plating and inhibiting ODC activity by
approximately 80% on Day 7. The antiproliferative effect of DFMO, but not that of molybdate, was reversed by 10 μM putrescine, the product of ODC activity. In contrast to DFMO, molybdate had no effect on ODC activity of cell homogenates.
Molybdate did not elicit antizyme formation in HEC-50 cells under conditions in which putrescine did. These results indicate
that ODC activity, present in both epithelial and stromal cells, as shown analytically and also by autoradiography after labeling
with [3H]DFMO, may be related to cell proliferation in vivo and that proliferation of human endometrial cancer cells in culture can
be arrested by DFMO and by molybdate.

Summary The maintenance of primary cultures of adult hamster pancreatic cells on layers of irradiated C3H/10T1/2 cells was studied.
Various types of pancreatic cells, acinar, islet and ductular cells could be identified in the cultures by light and electron
microscopy. Morphologically the various pancreatic cells retained many differentiated characteristics of their respective
in vivo cell types. Insulin production was maintained at near Day 1 levels for the 16 d in culture for which it was measured.
Colonies of epithelial cells continued to grow during a 20 d culture period. It is believed that this procedure for maintaining
functional and growing pancreas cells in culture may be a useful in vitro model for studying the initiation of pancreatic
carcinogenesis.

Summary Colonies of cells of epithelioid appearance were identified in monolayer cultures grown up to 50 days from normal human endometrial
cell suspensions obtained by a method designed to insure a maximum harvest of glandular cells. Groups of these cells were
separated from stromal cells by means of cloning cylinders. Studies comparing the ultrastructure of cells of this type to
fresh endometrial tissue revealed a number of similarities. The morphological characteristics common to both types of samples
included junctional complexes, perinuclear microfilaments and microvilli with glycocalyx. Other common features were prominent
nucleoli, well developed Golgi, rough endoplasmic reticulum and membranebound electron-dense bodies in the cytoplasm. A stripping
technique applie to the fetal bovine serum used in the nutrient medium made it possible to initiate cultures in a steroidfree
environment and to maintain them in the presence of the specified concentration of estradiol and/or progesterone. Isolation
of epithelial cells of endometrium in monolayer culture may provide a useful model system in which to study the specific effects
of steroid hormones on cellular function and differentiation.

Summary In 129 of 140 attempts, human skin cells were successfully cultured on the dermal collagen bed of sterile, dead pigskin. Diploid
epithelial cells grew selectively on the collagen bed; fibroblasts grew on the glass surfaces of the culture dishes. The cultures
could be subdivided physically up to six times at a 1:2 split ratio, but at least 24 to 48 cell generations were produced
over the months the cells could be carried. Much of the cell multiplication resulted in maturation into distinct basal, squamous,
granular, and keratinized cell layers. The cultured cells were considered epithelial because of their shape, possession of
intercellular bridges, desmosomes and tonofibrils, and because they formed maturating epithelium in vitro and upon transplantation
back to the original human donor. As the cells grew they digested the pigskin collagen, thus producing clear zones that could
be used to monitor and quantitate cell growth. Multiplication of epithelial cells, rather than migration, was indicated by
mitotic figures in colchicine-treated cultures and by DNA synthesis.

Summary A monolayer culture system has recently been developed for the extended growth and serial passage of normal rat mammary epithelial
(RME) cells. In this system the cells undergo greater than 20 population doublings when grown on type I collagen-coated tissue
culture dishes in Ham's F12 medium supplemented with insulin, hydrocortisone, epidermal growth factor, prolactin, progesterone,
cholera toxin, and 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The purpose of the present studies was to define additional growth factors
that would allow equivalent RME cell proliferation in serum-free medium. Ethanolamine (EA) was effective at reducing the FBS
requirements for RME cell proliferation and at its optimum concentration did so by greater than 20-fold. Even with optimum
levels of EA there was essentially no cell proliferation in the absence of FBS. However, addition of bovine serum albumin
(BSA) to the hormone, growth factor, and EA-supplemented medium resulted in substantial proliferation in the absence of serum,
and the further addition of transferrin (T) potentiated this effect. Thus, in this culture system, replacement of FBS with
EA, BSA, and T resulted in RME cell proliferation in primary culture which was equivalent to that obtained in the 5% FBS-containing
medium.

Summary Separation of human endometrium into its epithelial and stromal components has been achieved through collagenase digestion
and has permitted a study of these two cell populations under specific experimental culture conditions. The stromal cell populations
showed a progesterone response, were easily handled in culture, and displayed a limited in vitro life span typical of human
diploid fibroblasts. In contrast, epithelium only survived in shortterm primary culture and showed no clear hormone response.
High-density epithelial cultures remained viable for longer periods in culture. Comparisons between resurfacing endometrial
epithelial cells in vivo and epithelial cells migrating from explants in vitro suggested that this initial epithelial migration
in vitro was the counterpart of the repair response in vivo.

Summary Propagable cell cultures derived from human endometrial tissue were determined to contain cells predominantly of stromal cell
origin based on their morphologic resemblance to endometrial stromal cells. These features included nexi, solitary cilia,
and predecidual cytology. In addition to morphology the cell cultures retained a normal karyotype and responded to steroid
hormones as evidenced by cellular aggregation. The stromal cells were evaluated for a variety of characteristics associated
with transformed cells and seemed to be biologically normal without neoplastic phenotypes. Growth potential of the stromal
cell cultures was also characterized in normal maintenance medium, in nutritionally depleted medium with reduced levels of
calcium or serum, and in medium with increased levels of serum. The prolonged survival of the stromal cells in vitro coupled
with the retention of in vivo characteristics and an absence of neoplastic phenotype provides a human cell system that is
amenable to a variety of long-term experimental analyses.

Summary Interactions between bovine trophoblastic cell vesicles and bovine endometrial epithelial cells were investigated by light
and electron microscopy and lectin histochemistry in a cell culture model of early blastocyst attachment. Primary lines of
bovine endometrial epithelial cells were polarized by subculturing on substrata and maintaining cultures at the air-medium
interface. Trophoblastic cell vesicles were obtained from elongated Day 14 blastocysts. In co-cultures, trophoblastic cell
vesicles adhered to endometrial epithelial cells through microvillus interdigitation and formation of primitive membrane junctional
complexes. After 3 d in co-culture, a multilayered cellular plaque formed at the trophoblastic cell-endometrial epithelial
cell interface. The type of cells contributing to this local proliferative response could not be identified specifically as
trophoblastic or endometrial cells, and areas of membrane fusion between cells were noted. Ultrastructural features of vesicle
adhesion in cultures were similar to features of conceptus attachment in vivo. Lectins bound to apical membranes of trophoblastic
cells and endometrial epithelial cells in all locations except contact sites between vesicles and endometrial cells. These
findings suggest that local cellular proliferation and membrane fusion between trophoblastic and endometrial epithelial cells
may be early events in conceptus implantation in the cow and these events can be reproduced in culture.

Summary Addition of cholera toxin to human mammary epithelial cultures derived from reduction mammoplasties and primary carcinomas
greatly stimulated cell growth and increased the number of times the cells could be successfully subcultured. Other agents
known to increase intracellular cAMP levels were also growth stimulatory. The increased growth potential conferred by cholera
toxin enhances the usefulness of this cell culture system.

Summary A cell line derived in 1956 from normal dog kidney is described. The cells are epithelial, contact-inhibited, and can be maintained
in the same culture vessels for periods of more than 2.5 yr. Karyologically, the cells are hypodiploid with a modal number
of 72 as opposed to the diploid number of 78. The karyotype indicates male origin of the cells and clonal derivation of extant
cultures due to the presence of two marker chormosomes in all metaphases observed. At the 159th passage the dog kidney (DK)
cells did not produce tumors in athymic rats. At least 13 viruses of various types produced transmissible cytopathogenic effects
in the DK cells, including all of the human influenza viruses investigated.

Summary Serial passage cultures of colonic epithelial cells from young rats have been maintained for more than 6 months in Eagle's
minimum essential medium buffered with HEPES (25 mM) and supplemented with 2.5% fetal bovine serum, 0.5 μg/ml insulin, 5.0 μg/ml transferrin, and antibiotics. The cells proliferated
in this medium with a population doubling time of approximately 53 h. The cells retained differentiated morphology as evidenced
by secretory activity and the presence of secretory granules, microvilli, tonofilaments, and desmosomal junctions. Further
cells at the fourth passage had normal karyotypes with 42 chromosomes and exhibited anchorage dependent growth. High concentrations
of fetal bovine serum (10 to 15%) exerted toxic effects on the colonic epithelial cell cultures.

Summary A method is described for obtaining and culturing large numbers of lung cells from normal adult male rats. The lungs were
perfused in situ to remove blood cells and then perfused via the trachea with a trypsin-collagenase solution to initiate tissue
digestion. The tissue was further digested in the enzyme solution and approximately 2×108 viable lung cells were obtained per animal. Primary cultures contained a mixed cell population. Through eight subcultures
about 70% of the cell population possessed an epithelial-like morphology, whereas the remaining 30% was fibroblast-like. Three
clones of epithelial-like cells were isolated at the fourth subculture. The mass culture lung cells and the epithelial-like
clone that was studied retained a normal karyotype and did not grow in soft agar. Both the mass culture cells and the epithelial
clone metabolized the lung carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to water-soluble products. Furthermore, the mass culture lung cells
metabolized BP to intermediate(s) which mutated Chinese hamster V79 cells from ouabain sensitivity to ouabain resistance.
These lung cell cultures have potential use in cell transformation, mutation and carcinogen metabolism studies.

Summary Changes in the size of the area covered by individual cultured WI-38 cells as the cultures age have been studied by using
a new microphotographic paper cutout technique. This method is nondestructive and nonintrusive and avoids a number of artifacts
which can occur in the measurement of suspended cells. The measurements reveal that the decreased cell yield of late passage
cultures-reflects not only the appearance of a subpopulation of larger cells but also the failure of the cells to utilize
all the growth surface available to them.

Summary The ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) represents a minute fraction of the cell mass of the ovary but gives rise to over 80%
of human ovarian carcinomas. No experimental models for the study of human OSE exist. To characterize OSE cells in culture,
explants of ovarian surface from normal ovary of premenopausal women were grown on plastic, glass, and collagen gel in 25%
fetal bovine serum/Waymouth's medium 752/1. About 25% of explants produced epithelial outgrowths. Morphologically, these outgrowths
resembled OSE in vivo and endothelial and mesothelial cells in culture, but they differed from cultured ovarian stromal, granulosa,
and luteal cells. Only OSE among ovarian cell types were intensely keratin positive by immunofluorescence. Keratin also distinguished
OSE cells from the keratin-negative endothelial cells. Most but not all OSE colonies tested showed 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
(HSD) activity, which was absent in peritoneal mesothelial cells. Colonies from most patients were limited to a few millimetres
and became stationary within a few weeks. Changes that accompanied cessation of growth included senescence, increased keratin
content, or the formation of multicellular papillary aggregates. With time, OSE cells tended to assume a fibroblast-like morphology
but remained keratin positive and continued to resemble OSE by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Subcultured OSE cells persisted
in a stationary keratin-positive form for many weeks. Throughout this study, all pavementlike epithelial outgrowths that were
contiguous with an explant stained for keratin; thus, such colonies can be assumed to be OSE. Conversely, fibroblast-shaped
cells may represent OSE as indicated by keratin content and SEM appearance. The methods presented here permit culture of normal
human OSE under conditions in which the cells exhibit morphologic plasticity, variable 17β-HSD activity, and presence of keratin.

Summary Three human melanoma cell lines derived from one primary and two metastatic tumors from three different patients were characterized
for growth properties usually associated with malignant transformation; these include cell morphology, growth rate, saturation
density, growth in semisolid media, colony-forming ability on contact-inhibited monolayers of normal fibroblasts and epithelial
cells, and tumorigenicity in immunosuppressed mice. Variations in expression of aberrant properties were evident among the
lines. One of the metastatic lines satisfied all the parameters of malignancy tested and the other showed a number of these
properties, whereas the primary essentially fulfilled only one. These results suggest that cultured melanoma cells reflect
the clinical variability often observed among melanoma patients and the metastatic melanoma seems to display a higher degree
of malignant transformation than the primary.
