The development and ultrastructure of previously dissociated foetal human cerebral cortical cells in vitro

Summary Cells from foetal human cerebral cortex were mechanically dissociated and subsequently maintained in vitro for periods ranging between three and twenty-eight days.The ultrastructure of these cells at different stages of their development in culture was extensively examined. Nuclear and cytoplasmic features were extremely variable and a wide range of cell types was evidently represented. Of the three principal cell types found i.e. neurons, neuroglia and mesenchymal cells, only a minority of cells was classified with confidence, particularly during the first two weeks in culture.Extensive intercellular junctions of the adhaerens variety, common after 14 days in vitro were present at an earlier stage of development than synaptic profiles. First indications of synapse formation were observed after 21 days in vitro and after 24 days presynaptic sites filled with synaptic vesicles and with well defined presynaptic and postsynaptic thickenings were found. The significance of some of the features observed are both considered and discussed.     

The prophylactic use of antibiotics in cell culture

This article describes the historical development of the prophylactic use of antibiotics in cell culture as well as their effects on cells. The influence of antibiotics on cell morphology, cellular degeneration and cell death and cellular function is summarized. Cellular DNA as well as protein synthesis are affected which can lead to interference with, or even changes in, metabolic processes. Such effects must be considered in cell culture research. As antibiotics are used in multifold ways, the otherwise standardized conditions in cell culture are no longer comparable. The prophylactic use of antibiotics is rejected for scientific reasons.     

Manufacture of a human mesenchymal stem cell population using an automated cell culture platform

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are rapidly developing fields that use cells or cell-based constructs as therapeutic products for a wide range of clinical applications. Efforts to commercialise these therapies are driving a need for capable, scaleable, manufacturing technologies to ensure therapies are able to meet regulatory requirements and are economically viable at industrial scale production. We report the first automated expansion of a human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell population (hMSCs) using a fully automated cell culture platform. Differences in cell population growth profile, attributed to key methodological differences, were observed between the automated protocol and a benchmark manual protocol. However, qualitatively similar cell output, assessed by cell morphology and the expression of typical hMSC markers, was obtained from both systems. Furthermore, the critical importance of minor process variation, e.g. the effect of cell seeding density on characteristics such as population growth kinetics and cell phenotype, was observed irrespective of protocol type. This work highlights the importance of careful process design in therapeutic cell manufacture and demonstrates the potential of automated culture for future optimisation and scale up studies required for the translation of regenerative medicine products from the laboratory to the clinic.     

Human blood-derived fibrin releasates: Composition and use for the culture of cell lines and human primary cells

We have evaluated the capacity of two human blood fractions to substitute for FBS as growth medium supplement for human and animal cell cultures. Non-anticoagulated blood from volunteer donors (N = 13) was centrifuged to isolate a supernatant serum (SS) and a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) clot which was squeezed to extract the releasate (PRFR). Both materials were characterized for the content in PDGF-AB, TGF-β1, VEGF, bFGF, EGF, IGF, total protein, albumin, IgG, IgM IgA, fibrinogen, cholesterol, triglycerides, various chemistry analytes and hemoglobin. Cell growth promoting activity of pooled SS and PRFR at 1, 5, and 10% in growth medium was evaluated over 7 days using human (HEK293, MG-63) and animal (SIRC, 3T3) cell lines and two human primary cultures (gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligaments). Viable cell count was compared to that in cultures in FBS free-medium and 10% FBS supplement. SS and PRFR at 1-10% stimulated cell growth significantly more than FBS-free medium and in a way similar to 10% FBS in all cultures apart from 3T3. These two human blood-derived fibrin releasates are equally efficient to substitute for FBS as supplement for cell cultures and could be useful for specialized applications in regenerative medicine, dentistry and oral implantology, or cell therapy.     

The advantage of the aggregate culture of isolated ovarian cell types over the monolayer culture

Ovarian cells such as theca interna, granulosa and corpus luteum cells were isolated from pig ovaries and cultured in Erlenmayer flasks (25 ml) containing 3.5 ml of culture medium. The media were replaced every second day and frozen to -20°C for later steroid analysis. The reaggregation of cells was completed within 2–3 days and this was then followed by a period of cell migration. During the subsequent 5–6 day period the reaggregates became larger. The best results were obtained in cultures of isolated theca alone and in combination with granulosa cells, as well as of early corpus luteum cells. Granulosa cells did not aggregate as easily or as completely as the corpus luteum cells. All types of cells investigated were able to secrete progesterone into the culture medium. They secreted more progesterone and for a longer time than cells cultured as monolayers. The aggregate culture seems to be a good model to study the secretion of ovarian cells, by creating the tri-dimensional, and thus more physiological, culture system.

The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a vehicle in cell culture experiments using ovarian carcinoma cell lines.

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) is a well-known solvent that is commonly used in the laboratory. We selected DMSO as the vehicle for an experiment designed to determine if several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents inhibit the growth of Caov-3, OVCAR-3, and SK-OV-3 ovarian carcinoma cell lines. Using the tetrazolium conversion assay, however, we observed some variability in the number of cells present in each ovarian carcinoma cell line with varying concentrations of DMSO (10(-6)-10(-2) M) compared to medium alone. Similarly, when Caov-3, OVCAR-3, and SK-OV-3 cells were treated with 10(-4) M DMSO plus medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% fetal bovine serum) and plated on coverslips, the total number of cells present in 60 random fields increased significantly (P < 0.0001) for each ovarian carcinoma cell line treated with DMSO compared to medium alone. Ethanol did not demonstrate such prominent effects on cellular growth. Our observations are important to consider when selecting an appropriate solvent, especially for growth inhibition studies using Caov-3, OVCAR-3, and SK-OV-3 cell lines.     

The application of SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry to mammalian cell culture

Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time-of-Fight Mass Spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) is a technique by which protein profiles can be rapidly produced from a wide variety of biological samples. By employing chromatographic surfaces combined with the specificity and reproducibility of mass spectrometry it has allowed for profiles from complex biological samples to be analysed. Profiling and biomarker identification have been employed widely throughout the biological sciences. To date, however, the benefits of SELDI-TOF MS have not been realised in the area of mammalian cell culture. The advantages in identifying markers for cell stresses, apoptosis and other culture parameters mean that these tools could help greatly to enhance monitoring and control of bioreaction process and improve the production of therapeutics. Better characterisation of culture systems through proteome analysis will allow for improved productivity and better yields.     

The appearance of free hydroxyproline as the major product of degradation of newly synthesized collagen in cell culture

Embryonic lung fibroblasts and rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells have the ability to degrade newly synthesized collagen. Analysis of 24-h pulse media from cultures given [¹⁴C]proline demonstrates that greater than 90% of the degraded collagen is represented by free hydroxyproline rather than the peptide-bound imino acid. The addition of cycloheximide or α-α-dipyridyl to the culture medium during the pulse period severely diminished the formation of the free hydroxyproline demonstrating its enzymatic and protein (collagen) origin. It is proposed that assessment of free hydroxyproline formation may allow us to distinguish between intracellular and extracellular collagen degradation.     

Preparation of delipidized serum protein for use in cell culture systems

Summary A rapid procedure for the preparation of delipidized serum protein is described. The delipidized protein can be used for the maintenance and growth of tissue culture cells in a lipid-free environment. The extraction procedure greatly reduces all serum lipid classes and the delipidized protein supports the growth of a variety of cells in culture. This research was supported in part by USPHS research grants HL-09103 and HL-16058 from the National Heart and Lung Institute and RR-05540 from the Division of Research Resources. This work was done during tenure as Established Investigator of the American Heart Association (G.H.R.).     

The dissociation of insect embryos for cell culture

Summary Procedures and solutions were developed for dissociating embryos ofBlattella germanica in preparation for primary cell culture. Trypsin solutions were maximally effective at 0.01% for germ bands but higher concentrations, 0.05 to 0.1% were needed for embryos in later stages. This investigation was supported by U.S. Public Health Service Research Grant No. AI 09914 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. This is paper No. 8855, Scientific Journal Series, Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station. The work was selected from the dissertation of T. J. K. presented for the Ph. D. degree at the University of Minnesota.     

The morphology and cell culture of the striated musculature of the rat azygos vein

Summary The azygos vein of the rat can be divided into three regions: 1) The proximal cardiac region, where the wall is composed of two and sometimes three layers of cardiac muscle and a thin discontinuous layer of smooth muscle cells. Vascular casts of this region demonstrate layers of capillaries closely following the orientation of the cardiac fibres. 2) A transitional zone, where both cardiac and smooth muscle cells interdigitate. In this zone, close associations between smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells can be observed, however, gap junctions do not appear to be present. 3) Beyond this transitional zone the vessel resembles a typical thin-walled vein.The cells of the media of the entire length of azygous vein have been isolated and grown in culture and two separate viable populations identified corresponding to smooth and cardiac muscle.     

Limbal stem cells, a review of their identification and culture for clinical use

The surface of the eye is covered by two distinct epithelial populations, the conjunctival and corneal epithelia. The stem cell population for the corneal epithelia has been found to be located at the area known as the limbus. This is a narrow ring of tissue at the transitional zone between the cornea and conjunctiva. This stem cell population is responsible for generating transient amplifying cells which are responsible for renewing the cornea epithelia. There are currently no definitive markers for the stem cell population in the limbus. Instead using morphological features, such as small cells with a high nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio, in conjunction with the presence of certain markers e.g. ΔNP63α and the absence of others, e.g. the cytokeratin pair 3 & 12, are taken as being indicative of the stem cell population. Damage can occur to the corneal epithelium due to a number of causes including, Steven-Johnson syndrome, and chemical or thermal burns. This results in invasion of the cornea by the conjunctival epithelium resulting in impaired vision. In 1997 Pellegrini et al. (Lancet 349, 990) successfully used cells sheets from cultured limbal cells to successfully treat patients with corneal damage. Since then several other groups, have successfully treated patients, using similar methods.     

Establishment and growth characteristics of a cell suspension culture of Marchantia polymorpha L. with high chlorophyll content

A green-pigmented cell suspension culture of Marchantia polymorpha was established using the medium of Murashige and Skoog with addition of organic acids of the tricarboxylic-acid cycle, vitamins and sugars plus sugar alcohols, exclusion of kinetin, and replacement of sucrose with glucose. In continuous light, the cells grew exponentially for ca. 10 days; in the dark, they grew only to a slight extent. The light-grown cells contained well-developed chloroplasts, and chlorophyll content reached almost twice that of the intact gametophyte.

An automated robotic platform for rapid profiling oligosaccharide analysis of monoclonal antibodies directly from cell culture

Oligosaccharides attached to Asn297 in each of the C_H2 domains of monoclonal antibodies play an important role in antibody effector functions by modulating the affinity of interaction with Fc receptors displayed on cells of the innate immune system. Rapid, detailed, and quantitative N-glycan analysis is required at all stages of bioprocess development to ensure the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic. The high sample numbers generated during quality by design (QbD) and process analytical technology (PAT) create a demand for high-performance, high-throughput analytical technologies for comprehensive oligosaccharide analysis. We have developed an automated 96-well plate-based sample preparation platform for high-throughput N-glycan analysis using a liquid handling robotic system. Complete process automation includes monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification directly from bioreactor media, glycan release, fluorescent labeling, purification, and subsequent ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis. The entire sample preparation and commencement of analysis is achieved within a 5-h timeframe. The automated sample preparation platform can easily be interfaced with other downstream analytical technologies, including mass spectrometry (MS) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), for rapid characterization of oligosaccharides present on therapeutic antibodies.     

Establishment of callus and cell suspension culture of Scrophularia striata Boiss.: an in vitro approach for acteoside production

In the present study, a protocol was optimized for establishment of callus and cell suspension culture of Scrophularia striata Boiss. as a strategy to obtain an in vitro acteoside producing cell line for the first time. The effects of growth regulators were analyzed to optimize the biomass growth and acteoside production. The stem explant of S. striata was optimum for callus induction. Modified Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid + 2.0 mg/l benzyl adenine was the most favorable medium for callus formation with the highest induction rate (100 %), the best callus growth and the highest acteoside content (1.6 μg/g fresh weight). Incompact and rapid growing suspension cells were established in the liquid medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid + 2.0 mg/l benzyl adenine. The optimum time of subculture was found to 17–20 days. Acteoside content in the cell suspension was high during exponential growth phase and decreased subsequently at the stationary phase. The maximum content of acteoside (about 14.25 μg/g cell fresh weight) was observed on the 17th day of the cultivation cycle. This study provided an efficient way to further regulation of phenylethanoid glycoside biosynthesis and production of valuable acteoside, a phenylethanoid glycoside, on scale-up in S. striata cell suspension culture.     

TPA stimulation culture for improved detection of t(11;14)(q13;q32) in mantle cell lymphoma

Cytogenetic analysis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), characterized by the presence of t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation, is often difficult because of the low proliferating rate of MCL cells and the presence of normal cells in bone marrow which may interfere with growth of MCL cells. We describe herein a TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) stimulated culture to improve detection of t(11;14)(q13;q32) in 20 MCL patients regardless of the samples used.
