Bovine tracheal gland (BTG) cells in culture show an epithelial-fibroblastoid transition after several passages. To investigate these BTG cell phenotype changes, we studied the effects of both the culture medium and passage number on the expression of epithelial cytoskeletal proteins and glandular serous cell markers. We also analyzed the intracellular cAMP level in the basal state and after adrenergic stimulation. Three culture media were used: 1) serum-free defined medium (SFDM); 2) medium supplemented with 2% Ultroser G; and 3) medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we showed that, in the first 4 passages whatever the culture conditions, BTG cells expressed immunoreactivities to cytokeratin filaments and desmoplakins I and II, whereas vimentin filaments were not detected. After four passages, BTG cells cultured in 10% FCS or 2% Ultroser G became progressively fibroblastoid and showed immunoreactivities to both vimentin and cytokeratin intermediate filaments. No immunoreactivity to vimentin filaments was observed on BTG cells cultured in a SFDM. Using biochemical analysis, we showed that basal levels of cAMP in cultured BTG cells and lysozyme secretion by these cells vary according to the culture medium and passage number. It was higher in BTG cells cultured in a SFDM compared to that recovered from cells cultured in medium supplemented with Ultroser G or FCS. Whatever the culture medium, BTG cells responded to stimulation by isoproterenol. However, the results of stimulation in a SFDM were higher than in Ultroser G or FCS supplemented medium. We conclude that the BTG epithelial cell organization and the regulation of biosynthesis of secretory proteins by these cells in culture depend on both the culture medium and passage number.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Bovine tracheal submucosal gland serous cells were cultured in medium supplemented with either 10% fetal calf serum or 2% Ultroser G, a commercial serum substitute for cell culture. The proteins synthesized and secreted into the culture medium during [35S]methionine pulse, chase and isoproterenol-stimulated periods were analyzed. Marked differences in the patterns of secretory radiolabeled proteins with Mr values ranging from 15,000 to 95,000 were observed between pulse and chase media of cells cultured in fetal calf serum and Ultroser G. In the presence of Ultroser G, albumin-like protein production was inhibited 95% as compared to cultures incubated with fetal calf serum. A bovine lysozyme-type enzymatic activity was detected only in medium from stimulated cells cultured in Ultroser G. The results suggest that bovine tracheal serous cells synthesize different proteins according to the composition of culture medium and release certain proteins when adrenergically stimulated. 相似文献

This study examined the role of extracellular matrix in regulating matrix phenotype of hepatic lipocytes, the major source of matrix in liver. Lipocytes (Ito, stellate, or fat-storing cells) were purified from normal rat liver and established in primary culture on either uncoated plastic, plastic coated with individual matrix proteins, or a "complete" gel matrix, a basement membrane-like matrix derived from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) murine tumor. The ultrastructure of lipocytes cultured on the gel matrix resembled that of cells in normal liver, whereas lipocytes on plastic had dispersed nuclear chromatin and expanded rough endoplasmic reticulum, consistent with active proliferation and secretion. Lipocytes on the gel matrix exhibited no proliferative activity; cells maintained on plastic proliferated and produced type I collagen predominantly. Total collagen secretion by lipocytes on the gel matrix was 29% of that of cells on plastic, and consisted of type III collagen only. This difference extended to proteoglycan production, which was less than 5% of the amount produced by cells in conventional culture on plastic. The effects of the EHS gel were not reproduced by the individual components of the gel (laminin, type IV collagen, and heparan sulfate proteoglycan) or by a type I collagen gel. They were also reversible upon transfer of the cells to conventional culture. In contrast to lipocytes, collagen synthesis by hepatocytes was similar whether cultured on EHS gel or on plastic. These results show that the extracellular matrix can modulate matrix protein production by lipocytes and imply that, in early hepatic inflammation, changes in the hepatic subendothelial matrix may underlie stimulation of lipocyte matrix production and progression of the fibrotic process. 相似文献

Proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells are thought to be regulated by soluble factors in extracellular fluid and insoluble components of the extracellular matrix. We have examined the combined effects of soluble factors and an extracellular matrix (EHS matrix) on DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and surfactant protein gene expression in primary cultures of alveolar type II epithelial cells. Cells on EHS matrix cultured in DMEM containing insulin, cholera toxin, EGF, aFGF, 5% rat serum, and 15-fold concentrated bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (D-GM) formed larger aggregates than cells cultured on the same substratum in DMEM containing 5% rat serum (D-5). Cells cultured in D-GM on EHS matrix incorporated more [3H]-thymidine than cells on the same substratum in D-5, with an eight-fold increase seen on day 4 of culture. This increase in [3H]-thymidine incorporation was accompanied by a labeling index of greater than 65% of the cells. Cell counts showed that exposure of type II cells on EHS matrix to D-GM resulted in increased cell number on day 4 of culture. [3H]-thymidine autoradiography combined with immunostaining with anti-cytokeratin, anti-SP-A, and anti-vimentin antibodies demonstrated that the proliferating cells were epithelial cells that contained SP-A. Type II cells cultured on plastic in D-GM also showed increased [3H]-thymidine incorporation compared to cells cultured in D-5. The level of [3H]-thymidine incorporation by cells on plastic, however, was significantly less than that seen in cells cultured in the same medium on EHS matrix. Type II cells cultured on EHS matrix in D-GM had a decreased abundance of mRNAs for SP-A and SP-C than cells cultured on EHS matrix in D-5 as determined by Northern analysis. This inhibition was reversed by switching from D-GM to D-5 on day 4 and culturing the cells for an additional 4 days. In contrast, SP-B mRNA was increased in response to D-GM. This increase was not reversed by switching from D-GM to D-5 on day 4. These results suggest that the interaction of soluble factors and extracellular matrix components has a strong influence on type II cell proliferation, which were partially associated with the reversible inhibition of lung tissue-specific protein mRNAs. Their dynamic interplay among the type II cell, the extracellular matrix, and growth factors may determine multicellular functions and play an important role in normal lung development and in the repair of the lung epithelium following injury. 相似文献

Alveolar type II epithelial cells rapidly lose characteristics of differentiated function when cultured on plastic dishes. We have attempted to circumvent this problem by culturing type II cells under conditions that might better reproduce their environment in vivo. Cell-matrix interactions were studied by culturing isolated adult rat type II cells on Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor basement membrane. Aggregates of type II cells formed on the surface of the matrix during 4 days in culture. Microscopic examination of these aggregates revealed cuboidal cells that retained more characteristics of differentiated type II cells than did cells cultured on plastic. Type II cells cultured on EHS matrix incorporated a higher percentage of acetate into phosphatidylcholine (PC) than did cells on plastic, and a higher percentage of this PC was saturated. Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) synthesis by these cells was no different from that seen in cells on plastic. The effects of cell-cell interactions and cell shape were evaluated by culturing type II cells on feeder layers that in turn were grown on collagen gels. The feeder layer cells included fetal rat lung fibroblasts, adult rat lung fibroblasts, fetal rat skin fibroblasts, bovine aortic endothelial cells, and rat mammary tumor epithelial cells. One-half of the gels remained attached to the culture dish and one-half of the gels were detached after 24 h and allowed to float free in the medium. Type II cells grown in association with any of the attached feeder layers became flattened and lost their differentiated phenotype. These cells incorporated no greater percentage of acetate into PC than did cells on plastic. Saturated PC synthesis was modestly increased. PG synthesis declined in parallel with that seen in cells cultured on plastic. Type II cells cultured on feeder layers that were detached assumed their native cuboidal shape and also exhibited many morphological characteristics of differentiated function. These cells incorporated a significantly greater percentage of acetate into PC compared to cells on either plastic or attached feeder layers. Saturated PC synthesis also increased markedly. These cells, however, incorporated no greater percentage of acetate into PG than did cells on plastic or attached feeder layers. These data suggest an important role for cell shape and cell-matrix interactions and maintenance of type II cell differentiation. The effects of cell-cell interactions, while beneficial, appear to be non-specific. 相似文献

The effect of ionizing radiation on the survival of bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells was determined by the in vitro colony formation method. The BAE cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% calf serum, antibiotics, and growth factors obtained from the culture of mouse S-180 cells. The cultured BAE cells were positive to the staining of antibodies against human factor VIII and formed clones in plastic culture flasks with a plating efficiency of about 11%. The survival curve of the BAE cells following an exposure to a single dose of X rays was characterized by D0 = 101 rad, Dq = 65 rad, and an extrapolation number (n) of 1.9. These parameters were not modified by the absence of growth factors at the time of irradiation. The response of BAE cells to radiation was dose-rate dependent. The split-dose studies demonstrated that the BAE cells were able to repair sublethal radiation damage within 1 h after irradiation. 相似文献

Summary Cultured mammary cells depend on interaction with a substratum for functional differentiation, even in the presence of lactogenic
hormones. Protein synthesis and secretion by mouse mammary epithelial cells on floating collagen gels and (EHS) matrix were
compared. Cells were prepared by collagenase digestion of tissue from mid-pregnant mice. Protein synthesis was consistently
greater in cells attached to EHS matrix, and was associated with proportionately higher rates of protein secretion into culture
medium. Cells on EHS secreted protein into a luminal space formed within multicellular alveoluslike structures. Luminal secreted
protein, extracted by EGTA treatment of cells in situ, constituted up to 40% of total secreted radiolabeled protein for cells
on EHS matrix. The EGTA extract contained a higher proportion of casein and lactoferrin, whereas transferrin was predominately
in the medium. This indicated that cells on EHS matrix had become polarized and were secreting proteins vectorially. In contrast,
EGTA treatment of cells on floating collagen gels released virtually no radiolabeled protein, showing that mammosphere formation
was a property of cells on EHS. These biochemical observations were supported by ultrastructural evidence. In EHS cultures,
the proportion of secreted protein in the luminal fraction, but not the distribution of secreted proteins, changed with time.
This suggests that there may be leakage out of the lumen, or intraluminal degradation of protein after secretion. Nevertheless,
the results suggest that cellular organization into mammospheres on EHS matrix promotes synthetic and secretory activity.
This system provides a useful model for investigation of the regulation of milk secretion. 相似文献

We have devised a new cell culture method where two types of culture plates made of normal tissue culture plastic (NTCP) and Primaria(TM), and two media, RPMI-1640 and a serum-free media LHC-9(TM), are used in combination with an in situ harvest. Multiple culture conditions in combination with in situ harvest has yielded many more clones for karyotyping than was possible with previous methods. Cells were cultured in 60 mm Petri plates instead of flasks and harvested in situ. Chromosome banding was performed using a highly purified trypsin "Enzar-T(TM)" and Leishman stain instead of ordinary trypsin and Giemsa stain. These modifications have increased the number of clones retrieved, rate of culture success, and quality of karyotypes in solid tumors. 相似文献

Mucus-producing cells were isolated from swine trachea mucosa by a method that included enzymatic digestion of the epithelial surface with Dispase, a neutral protease from Bacillus polymyxa, and differential attachment of the washed cells to culture flasks coated with collagen. Epithelial cells were the major cell type isolated by these procedures. Ciliated cells that did not attach to the flasks were removed by decantation , and fibroblasts were destroyed by the bacterial protease. The isolated cells synthesized respiratory mucins and the rate of secretion was increased about threefold when tracheas were exposed to sulfur dioxide. The cultured cells incorporated both [35S]O4 and [I-14C]N-acetylglucosamine into secreted mucin glycoproteins. The secretion of glycoprotein increased for about 3 d until the cells became confluent, and then a constant rate was observed for a period of at least 7 d. This increase in the output of mucin glycoprotein during the initial 3 d of culture was accompanied by a corresponding increase in the number of mucus-producing cells in the flasks. The results obtained in these and subsequent studies suggest that the rate of formation of mucus-producing cells may be a rate limiting step in the regulation of mucin glycoprotein synthesis in tracheal epithelium. The chemical, physical, and immunological properties of the glycoprotein secreted by isolated tracheal epithelial cells were very similar to the mucin glycoprotein purified from washes of swine trachea epithelium. The purified mucin glycoproteins showed complete cross-reaction with antibodies to trachea mucin glycoprotein. They were eluted near the void volume during gel filtration of Sepharose CL-6B columns. The glycoprotein isolated from culture media under the standard assay conditions had nearly the same carbohydrate composition as samples purified from washes of trachea epithelium. Reduced oligosaccharides released by beta-elimination with dilute alkaline borohydride showed similar elution profiles during chromatography on Bio Gel P-6 columns. Taken collectively, these results suggest that the isolated epithelial cells secreted mucin glycoproteins that were very similar to those synthesized by the intact trachea epithelium under standard incubation conditions. 相似文献

Epithelial crypts from the bovine colon were obtained by using a combined mechanical and enzymatic isolation method, followed by differential D-sorbitol gradient centrifugation. By using this isolation technique, a pure fraction of epithelial crypts with minimal mesenchymal contamination was obtained. The crypts were seeded in collagen-coated plastic flasks. The attached epithelial cells proliferated and formed a confluent monolayer after 6 days in culture. Under low-serum culture conditions (1% fetal calf serum), the cells had a population doubling time of 21-22 hours. During the culture period, the colonocytes were characterised morphologically and enzymatically. The morphology of the cultured cells was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of microvilli, tight junctions and desmosomes demonstrated the ability of the cultured cells to restore an epithelial-like cell monolayer. The epithelial origin of the cells was demonstrated by labelling the cells with antibodies against epithelial-specific cytokeratins 7 and 13. The functional integrity of the cells was evaluated by measuring various marker enzymes (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, NADH-dehydrogenase) and membrane-associated Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Membrane integrity was determined by measuring the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase into the culture medium. This new culture system for bovine colon epithelial cells could be used as an in vitro model of the colon epithelium in physiological and toxicological studies. 相似文献

In order to establish a method for studying myeloid differentiation, light density, non-adherent, T-cell depleted mononuclear cells prepared from 26 normal peripheral blood buffy-coats were cultured in McCoy'5A medium supplemented with 15 per cent fetal calf serum (FCS) for three weeks at 37 degrees C in a humidified 5 per cent CO2 atmosphere. The total number of viable cells in the cultures on weeks 1 and 2 represented 73 +/- 10 per cent and 98 +/- 41 per cent of the initial number of viable cells seeded. After one week, blasts represented 26 +/- 10 per cent of the initial number of viable cells while all the initially contaminating mature granulocytes had disappeared. After two weeks, granulocytic differentiation was noted in most cultures and viable myelocytes and more mature cells represented 45 +/- 26 per cent of the initial number of viable cells. The differentiation was independent on the lot of FCS used. The addition of PHA stimulated leukocyte conditioned medium to the cultures did not enhance granulocytic differentiation. The granulocytic differentiation observed in the absence of exogenous CSF persisted after removing the cells adhering to the bottom of the flasks on day 2 of the culture. An endogenous colony stimulating activity was detected in the cultures on week 3 but its intensity did not clearly correlate with the degree of granulocytic differentiation. 相似文献

Nutrient concentration in the growth medium and trypsin affect cellular radiosensitivity in a manner that is related to cell shape (Reddy, Stevenson, and Lange, Int. J. Radiat. Biol. 55, 105-117 (1989); Reddy and Lange, Radiat. Res. 119, 338-347 (1989]. Hence we hypothesized that the concentration of serum in the medium could influence the X-ray sensitivity of cells and that the spread cells in monolayers and round cells in spheroids may differ in their response to the radiosensitizing effect of trypsin. We compared the X-ray sensitivity of monolayer and spheroid cells grown for 19 +/- 1 h in MEM supplemented with 5 or 15% serum. Cells were trypsinized and plated either immediately before, or 2.5 +/- 0.5 h after, irradiation and incubation for repair in situ. Survival of cells in monolayers and in spheroids was higher in MEM with 5% serum than with 15% serum. Trypsin treatment affected the shape and radiosensitivity of cells in monolayers but not in spheroids. When all cells were grown in the same serum concentration and a 2.5-h postirradiation incubation was allowed prior to trypsinization, the X-ray sensitivity of cells in spheroids was greater than that of cells in monolayers. The survival of cells in spheroids became equal to that of monolayer cells when cells in spheroids were converted to monolayers by placing them in 25-cm2 flasks and allowing them 3 h to attach and spread. Cell cycle distributions were nearly the same in monolayers and spheroids cultured in MEM with 5 or 15% serum. We conclude that: (1) serum concentration in the growth medium and trypsin do appear to contribute to the differences in the radiosensitivity of spheroids and monolayer V79 cells; (2) these differences are associated with changes in cell morphology. 相似文献

The standard culture method for neural stem cells cannot prevent the attachment of neurospheres, which eventually result in
differentiation. This study developed a new method for long-term neural stem cell cultivation. In the antiattachment group,
neural stem cells were cultured in flasks coated with 1.5% agarose gel. As a control, cells were cultured in plastic flasks.
The 5-bromine-deoxyuridine incorporation assay was used to determine the S-phase labeling index of both groups. The methyl
thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay was used to determine the total cell vitality. After a 3-mo culture, the spontaneous
differentiation of stem cells was studied using immunocytochemistry for neuroepithelial stem cell protein. We found that neural
stem cells grew rapidly in the antiattachment flasks. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups
in terms of the S-phase labeling index or MTT assay. When cultured for 3 mo in vitro, many more cells differentiated in the
control than in the antiattachment group (32.05 vs. 0.64%, P < 0.01). Moreover, the neural stem cells in the antiattachment group remained multipotent. Therefore, flasks coated with
agarose gel are suitable for long-term neural stem cell culture. 相似文献

Biopharmaceutical production would benefit from rapid methods to optimize production of therapeutic proteins by screening host cell line/vector combination, culture media, and operational parameters such as timing of induction. Miniaturized bioreactors are an emerging research area aiming at improving the development speed. In this work, a 3 mm thick mini-bioreactor including two 12 mm wide culture chambers connected by a 5 mm wide channel is described. Active mixing is achieved by pressure shuttling between the two chambers. Gas-liquid phase exchange for oxygen and carbon dioxide is realized by molecular diffusion through 50 microm thick polymethylpentene membranes. With this unique design, a velocity difference between the middle area and the side areas at the interfaces of the culture chambers and the connecting channel is created, which enhances the mixing efficiency. The observed mixing time is on the order of 100 s. The combination of high permeability toward oxygen of polymethylpentene membranes and fluid movement during active pressure shuttling enables higher volumetric oxygen transfer coefficients, 5.7 +/- 0.4-14.8 +/- 0.6 h(-1), to be obtained in the mini-bioreactors than the values found in traditional 50 mL spinner flasks, 2.0-2.5 h(-1). Meanwhile, the calculated volume averaged shear stress, in the range of 10(-2)-10(-1) N/m(2), is within the typical tolerable range of animal cells. To demonstrate the applicability of this mini-bioreactor to culture suspended animal cells, the insect cell, Spodoptera frugiperda, is cultured in mini-bioreactors operated under a K(L)a value of 14.8 +/- 0.6 h(-1) and compared to the same cells cultured in 50 mL spinner flasks operated under a K(L)a value of 2.2 h(-1). Sf-21 cells cultured in the mini-bioreactors present comparable length of lag phases and growth rates to their counterparts cultured in 50 mL spinner flasks, but achieve a higher maximum cell density of 5.3 +/- 0.9 x 10(6) cell/mL than the value of 3.4 +/- 0.4 x 10(6) cell/mL obtained by cells cultured in 50 mL spinner flasks. Sf-21 cells infected with SEAP-baculovirus produce a maximum SEAP concentration of 11.3 +/- 0.7 U/mL when cultured in the mini-bioreactor. In contrast, infected Sf-21 cells cultured in 50 mL spinner flasks produce a maximum SEAP concentration of 7.4 +/- 0.9 U/mL and onset of production is delayed from 18 h in minibioreactor to 40 h in spinner flasks. 相似文献

Interference of serum and serum components with attachment of HeLa 71 cells to the surface of plastic culture vessels 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The attachment of HeLa 71 cells to plastic surfaces has been investigated. Without serum in the growth medium the attachment of cells was rapid and not reduced at temperatures down to 25 °C. The cells were not detached by treatment with trypsin-EDTA up to 48 h after incubation. With calf serum in the medium the cells attached equally well to the substrate, but the process was temperature dependent. These cells were detached by trypsin-EDTA treatment. The same results were found when the culture flasks were precoated with serum. The serum coat could be removed by rinsing with potassium bicarbonate at pH 9.7. Preliminary fractionation of the calf serum suggested that the effect was specific. 相似文献

The biosynthetic products of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) tumor and the cell-free translation products of EHS tumor cell RNA were characterized. Six distinct gene products (three laminin polypeptides, entactin/nidogen, and two collagen IV chains) comprising the basement membrane matrix were identified by a combination of proteolytic digestion and immunologic techniques. Analysis of the cell-free translation products using EHS tumor RNA precipitated by anti-laminin serum confirms earlier evidence that there are at least two B chains encoded by different genes. The anti-laminin serum also recognized entactin/nidogen, which was further identified by specific immunoprecipitation with anti-entactin serum. Radiolabeled laminin A chains, synthesized by the EHS tumor in organ culture, were also identified by the anti-laminin serum but were not detected among the cell-free translation products of EHS tumor RNA. Pulse-chase studies of EHS tumor in organ culture as well as in vitro translation of EHS tumor RNA suggest that the precursor forms of alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) collagen chains are nearly identical in size, with apparent molecular weights of 170,000. The mRNAs encoding these two polypeptides migrate differently on sucrose gradients. It is likely that glycosylation and hydroxylation of collagen IV account for the major differences in molecular weight of mature alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) chains in the EHS tumor matrix. 相似文献

In allergic and nonallergic lung diseases, if intraluminal mast cells adhere to airway epithelium, inflammatory mediators released from activated mast cells may reach high local concentrations and thus greatly affect airway function. To determine whether mast cells adhere to airway epithelial cells, radiolabeled or unlabeled dog mastocytoma cells were incubated with cultured dog tracheal epithelial cells, with extracellular matrix substrates, and with cryostat-cut sections of dog trachea. Mast cells adhered well to cultured epithelial cells (35 +/- 13% adhesion, mean +/- 1 SD, n = 23) but adhered poorly to types I and IV collagen or to fibronectin (less than 7.5% mean adhesion in all cases). Similarly, in tracheal tissue sections, mast cells adhered preferentially to epithelial cells in surface epithelium or in submucosal glands but not to basal membrane or connective tissue. Adhesion to cultured epithelial cells was a characteristics of a subpopulation of mast cells, could persist for more than 48 h, did not require energy or the presence of divalent cations, and was not mediated by a known family of leukocyte-associated adhesion glycoproteins. Adhesion was completely abolished by pretreatment of mast cells with pronase E or proteinase K but not with trypsin (up to 10 micrograms/ml at 37 degrees C for 20 min each). In contrast, pretreatment of cultured epithelial cells with any of these proteinases had no effect on adhesion. It is concluded that dog mastocytoma mast cells adhere to dog tracheal epithelial cells and do so selectively. It is suggested that mast cell adhesion to airway epithelium may play a role in the effectiveness of mast cell-epithelial cell interactions, and thus, in certain lung diseases, airway function may be affected by intraluminal mast cells more than is currently appreciated. 相似文献

Fine needle aspiration as a tool to establish primary human breast cancer cultures in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
OBJECTIVE: To verify the potential role of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in obtaining malignant cells from primary breast cancer for establishment of a primary breast cancer cell line. STUDY DESIGN: In four patients with primary breast cancer subjected to FNA for diagnostic purposes, we attempted to establish primary cultures. We successfully obtained one primary cell line, originating in micropapillary invasive breast carcinoma. FNA material obtained under sterile conditions was centrifuged, and the cell pellet was washed with Dulbecco Modified Medium. The resulting suspension was seeded in 25-cm2 tissue culture flasks. The flasks were maintained with released caps in a 37 degrees C incubator with a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. After one week, cells attached to the bottom of the flasks and began proliferating. When a culture became confluent, the cells were treated with 0.05% trypsin/0.02% EDTA in a PBS solution and subcultured. The flasks were observed daily with an inverted microscope, and culture passages were performed weekly. RESULTS: The cell line obtained was named I2FPRW and exhibited morphologic and immunohistochemical features of epithelial cells of mammary origin. The cells were positive for cytokeratins (AE1/AE3 and CK 7), EMA and c-erbB-2. At this writing, this cell line was in the 15th passage of subculturing in the flasks with 10% FBS. CONCLUSION: In the present study we demonstrated that is possible to establish a breast cancer cell line from material obtained by FNA cytology. FNA seems to be a valuable method of obtaining malignant cells from breast cancer able to grow free of fibroblasts in cell cultures. 相似文献

Summary Microvascular endothelial cells from abdominal fat pads of 6-wk-old broiler chickens were isolated to provide anin vitro system to study their physiological functions. The isolation procedure produced clumps of 10–30 cells, which attached to
culture vessels in 4 h and attained confluency in 2 wk. At confluency, cells had a cobblestone appearance but were not contact
inhibited and detached from the bottom of the culture vessel 2 wk after reaching confluency. The cells internalized acetylated
low density lipoproteins, a characteristic of endothelial cells. This property was used to obtain pure endothelial cell cultures
using the cell sorter. When cultured over Matrigel, a reconstituted matrix, the cells aligned themselves into chordlike structures
and formed branching microvessels. Cells plated on type I collagen-coated culture flasks occasionally formed chordlike structures
and proliferated at a faster rate than cells plated on Matrigel. Cells cultured on laminin-coated plates were slender and
had long cytoplasmic extensions however, cells cultured on uncoated plastic had fibroblastic morphology. These properties
are similar to those described for microvessel endothelial cells isolated from tissues of other species. 相似文献
