Cultures of endothelial cells and cell lines of endothelial origin were maintained at confluence without medium exchange for a period of 72 h. During this time period the concentration of nutrients — amino acids and glucose — and metabolic waste products — lactate and ammonium — was determined as well as cell vitality and cell numbers. Metabolic rates were calculated and compared for the different cell lines. Surprisingly the primary cells showed significantly higher rates of glucose and glutamine consumption, respectively lactate production than the immortalized cell lines. Except for one tumorigenic cell line all cells showed a significant participation of transaminases in glutamine/ammonium metabolism. Furthermore it could be shown that in routine culture there was no depletion of nutrients or critical accumulation of ammonium or lactate over a culture period of 72 h.Abbreviations BAEC

Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were cultivated in macroporous gelatin microcarriers (CultiSpher G and CultiSpher S) in spinner flasks and a 5 1 bioreactor. Near-to-confluent cultures were harvested by bead-to-bead transfer where intact microcarriers with cells were transferred from a spinner flask to another spinner flask or to the bioreactor with naked microcarrier beads. Successful bead-to-bead transfer was achieved in various split ratios. The duration of attachment seemed to be important where the direct contact of beads to each other can be achieved by intermittent stirring. Repeated transfers were performed and at least four transfers in spinner flasks were achieved.Two variations of bead-to-bead transfer were performed in the 5 1 bioreactor either by seeding the bioreactor with near-to-confluent beads cultivated in spinner flasks orin situ transfer by adding fresh beads to the bioreactor. As in the spinner case, attachment was achieved by intermittent stirring where donor beads were in close proximity to the acceptor beads. Again successful transfers were obtained as evidenced by the good growth on acceptor beads where cell yields were in the range of 3100–4500 cells/bead.The results suggest that bead-to-bead transfer of CHO-K1 cells can be easily performed and do provide an alternative route to applications where dissolution techniques may not offer an efficient solution. 相似文献

A novel three-dimensional culture system for the ex vivo expansion of human umbilical cord blood (CB) hematopietic progenitor cells (HPCs) was developed by growing CB mononuclear cells on highly porous CultiSpher G microspheres coated with human bone marrow stromal cells in stirred flasks in the presence of supplemented cytokines. After 12 days, the number of total viable cells, colony-forming units in culture (CFU-C) and CD34+ cells present in the cultures reflected average increases of 7.7, 23.3 and 9.6-fold, respectively, and marked hematopoietic islands were formed on the surface of CultiSpher G. 相似文献

Five types of dextran-based microcarriers (Dormacell, Pfeifer and Langen) with different concentrations of dimeric DEAE anion-exchange groups (nitrogen contents from 1.2 up to 2.9%) were tested as growth substrates for the cultivation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). All microcarriers were gelatinized before use to improve cell adhesion. The one with the highest DEAE-group density was found to be most suitable for HUVEC propagation reaching final cell densities of 8×105 viable cells ml-1 (95% viability) using microcarrier concentrations of 3 g l–1. Furthermore, metabolic data of glucose/lactate and amino acid metabolism are presented in this study. The concentrations of 18 amino acids were monitored throughout cultivation. A considerable decrease of glutamine and inverse increase of glutamate was observed. Cultivation with initial glucose concentration of 16.5 mmol l–1 resulted in high glutamine consumption rates, whereas high glucose-supplemented starting culture medium (30 mmol l-1) gave considerably lowered rates, indicating altered glutamine metabolism due to different glucose feeding. The glucose consumption and lactate production rates increased 2.6 fold and 3.5 fold, respectively, due to switch over from low to high glucose supplemented cultures. The rate of glucose metabolism was found not to be directly related to cell growth, because almost identical growth rates and doubling times were obtained. Considering the remaining 16 amino acids measured, serine concentrations considerably declined and glycine as well as alanine concentrations raised strongly. Most amino acid values were found insignificantly altered during 14 days of cultivation. Spinner vessel cultures served as inoculum for up scale propagation of HUVECs in membrane stirred 2 liter bioreactors. About 5×109 HUVECs were produced, which were used for the isolation and structural characterization of glycosphingolipids, cell membrane compounds, which are suggested to be involved in e.g. selectin-carbohydrate interaction (cell-cell adhesion), carcinogenesis and atherogenesis.Abbreviations HUVECs

Various polypeptide growth factors, culture substrates, basal media, sera and further supplements were assayed for improvement of growth of human vascular endothelial cells from umbilical cord veins. The resulting optimized medium consisted of gelatinized culture substrates, a mixture (1:1) of Iscove's MDM and Ham's F12 basal media supplemented with 20% newborn calf serum, 500 ng/ml crude fibroblast growth factor, 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 5 g/ml transferrin, 5 g/ml insulin and 10 g/ml heparin. The medium allowed long term cultivation of HUVEC up to 45 generations with maximal cell densities of about 105 cells per cm2 and a minimal doubling time of about 14 hours at low cell densities.Abbreviations HUVEC

Slow vascularization often impedes the viability and function of engineered bone replacements. Prevascularization is a promising way to solve this problem. In this study, a new process was developed by integrating microcarrier culture and coculture to fabricate pre‐vascularized bone microtissues with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Initially, coculture medium and cell ratio between MSCs and HUVECs were optimized in tissue culture plates concerning cell proliferation, osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Subsequently, cells were seeded onto CultiSpher S microcarriers in spinner flasks and subjected to a two‐stage (proliferative‐osteogenic) culture process for four weeks. Both cells proliferated and functioned well in chosen medium and a 1 : 1 ratio between MSCs and HUVECs was chosen for better angiogenesis. After four weeks of culture in spinner flasks, the microtissues were formed with high cellularity, evenly distributed cells and tube formation ability. While coculture with HUVECs exerted an inhibitory effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, with downregulated alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization and gene expression of COLI, RUNX2 and OCN, this could be attenuated by employing a delayed seeding strategy of HUVECs against MSCs during the microtissue fabrication process. Conclusion: Collectively, this work established an effective method to fabricate pre‐vascularized bone microtissues, which would lay a solid foundation for subsequent development of vascularized tissue grafts for bone regeneration. 相似文献

Large numbers of cells will be required for successful embryonic stem cell (ESC)-based cellular therapies or drug discovery, thus raising the need to develop scaled-up bioprocesses for production of ESCs and their derived progeny. Traditionally, ESCs have been propagated in adherent cultures in static flasks on fibroblasts layers in serum-containing medium. Direct translation of two-dimensional flatbed cultures to large-scale production of the quantities of cells required for therapy simply by increasing the number of dishes or flasks is not practical or economical. Here, we describe successful scaled-up production of ESCs on microcarriers in a stirred culture system in a serum-free medium. Cells expanded on CultiSpher S, Cytodex 3, and Collagen microcarriers showed superior cell-fold expansions of 439, 193, and 68, respectively, without excessive agglomeration, compared with 27 in static culture. In addition, the ESCs maintained their pluripotency after long-term culture (28 days) in serum-free medium. This is the first time mESCs have been cultured on microcarriers without prior exposure to serum and/or fibroblasts, while also eliminating the excessive agglomeration plaguing earlier studies. These protocols provide an economical, practical, serum-free means for expanding ESCs in a stirred suspension bioprocess. 相似文献

The effects of 14 estradiol metabolites on the proliferation of cultured endothelial cells of human umbilical cord veins were examined and compared with that of their parent substance estradiol. The relationship between dosage and effect was tested over the pharmacological concentration range of 10(-8) to 10(-5) M. Estradiol showed a biphasic behaviour, in the form of stimulation at low concentrations and inhibition at the highest concentration. All 10 A-ring metabolites tested stimulated the growth of the endothelial cells at the lower concentrations. At the highest concentration, the 5 A-ring metabolites: 2-hydroxyestrone, 2-hydroxyestradiol, 2-hydroxyestriol, 4-hydroxyestrone and 4-hydroxyestradiol caused significant inhibitions. Except for the 2-hydroxyestradiol, methylation of these metabolites resulted in the loss of the proliferation inhibiting effect. The D-ring metabolites showed no marked effects compared to the A-ring metabolites except for 16alpha-hydroxyestrone which had an inhibiting effect from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M. Our results show that estradiol metabolites can influence the growth of vascular endothelial cells in the concentration range tested. While the antiproliferative action of 2-methoxyestradiol has been known for some time this study is the first to show the potential capacity of non-methylated metabolites of the A-ring metabolism in inhibiting endothelial proliferation. This may open up new clinical pharmacological aspects in the anti-angiogenetic treatment of tumors. 相似文献

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were transfected by electroporation with the plasmid pSV3neo, containing the early region of simian virus 40. The resultant "cell lines" divide rapidly (population doubling time of 33 h) for up to 24 passages in medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) serum and 2.5 micrograms/ml endothelial cell growth supplement. Several of these lines express basal levels of ICAM-1 and MHC class I but not MHC class II. One cell line, designated SGHEC-7, retained a number of differentiated endothelial cell functions throughout its lifespan. These functions include increased production of tissue plasminogen activator in response to histamine, thrombin, and PMA. Stability of function and rapid growth over 24 passages endow these cells with a number of advantages over primary cultures. The homogeneous cell population and consistency of response make them ideal for biochemical and immunological studies hereto impractical with primary human endothelial cells. The success of this approach may allow the production of functional cell lines from other vascular beds. 相似文献

Polystyrene microcarriers were prepared in four size ranges (53–63 m, 90–125 m, 150–180 m and 300–355 m) and examined for ability to support attachment and growth of human diploid fibroblasts. Cells attached rapidly to the microcarriers and there was a direct relationship between cell attachment and microcarrier aggregation. Phasecontrast and scanning electron microscopic studies revealed that while aggregation was extensive, most of the aggregate consisted of void volume. Cell growth studies demonstrated that human diploid fibroblasts proliferated well in microcarrier aggregates, reaching densities of 2.5–3×106 cells per 2 ml dish after 6 days from an inoculum of 0.5×106 cells per dish. When cells were added to the microcarriers at higher density (up to 5×106 cells per 2-ml culture), there was little net growth but the cells remained viable over a 7-day period. In contrast, cells died when plated under the same conditions in monolayer culture. When the microcarriers were used in suspension culture, rapid cell attachment and rapid microcarrier aggregation also occurred. In 100-ml suspension culture, a cell density of 0.7×106 cells per ml was reached after 7 days from an inoculum of 0.1×106 cells. Based on these data, we conclude that microcarrier aggregation is not detrimental to fibroblast growth. These data also indicate that small microcarriers (53–63 m) (previously thought to be too small to support the growth of diploid fibroblasts) can support fibroblast growth and this occurs primarily because microcarriers in this size range efficiently form aggregates with the cells. 相似文献

Baffled 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks were compared with conventional 2800 ml Fernbach flasks forXanthomonas campestris to produce xanthan. Bacterial growth rates were similar in both types of flask although the Fernbach flasks gave higher biomass concentrations. Xanthan production was similar in both types of flasks but different viscosities were attained. On a weight basis, the xanthan produced in baffled flasks was up to three times more viscous and more pseudoplastic or shear thinning. For screening purposes, baffled flasks are better because the rheological quality of the gum produced in them is more like that obtained in stirred fermentors than the gum from Fernbach flasks and considerably less shaker space is required, thus allowing a larger number of tests to be performed. 相似文献

The polysaccharide chains of a proteoheparan sulphate located on the endothelial cell surface are responsible for athrombogenicity of blood vessel walls. Mass cultivation of endothelial cells is the only way to isolate adequate amounts of this proteoheparan sulphate. In order to establish a method for fermentation of bovine endothelial cells, colonization of microcarriers, growth phase and cultivation of confluent carriers were optimized. The colonization process was varied relative to the number of beads, number of cells, total volume and kind of vessel. Two basal media were tested at different serum contents by growth assays. The same basal media without serum were supplemented with mitogen, bovine lipoprotein, insulin and transferrin and tested by activity assays on confluent cultures. The best method yields more than 80% of the cells on microcarriers. During the fermentation glucose and lactate concentrations were measured at constant perfusion rate and glucose consumption and lactate production were determined. Under optimized conditions we achieved a final cell titre of 4 x 10(9) cells/l and a calculated cell density of 7-9 x 10(4) cells/cm2 offered substrate surface. The minimal doubling time of the cell culture was about 18 h under optimized fermentation conditions. Removal of the core-protein by enzymatic digestion or beta-elimination releases the endothelial cell surface heparan sulphate. 相似文献

Summary Administration of interferon as a single therapeutic regimen in cancer patients with various neoplasias has had only limited efficacy in ameliorating the negative clinical course of their disease. In the present study, we have evaluated the effect of recombinant human fibroblast (IFN) and immune (IFN) interferon, alone and in combination, on growth, differentiation and the expression of class I and II histocompatibility locus antigens (HLA) and melanoma-associated antigens on the human melanoma cell line H0-1. The effect of combinations of interferons on the antigenic profile of human melanoma cells displaying different organ colonization and spontaneous metastatic potential in athymic nude mice was also determined. H0-1 cells were more sensitive to the antiproliferative activity of IFN than to IFN and the combination of interferons resulted in a potentiation of growth suppression. The antiproliferative effect of both interferons was greater in later-passage than in earlier-passage H0-1 cells, possibly reflecting alterations in the evolving tumor cell population as a result of long-term in vitro propagation and/or the selective outgrowth of cells with an increased growth rate. The enhanced growth suppression observed in H0-1 cells treated with the combination of IFN plus IFN was not associated with a significant increase in the level of melanin, a marker of melanoma differentiation, above that observed with either interferon used alone. IFN and IFN differentially modulated the expression of class I and II HLA and melanoma-associated antigens in H0-1 cells and a series of melanoma cells with different organ colonization and metastatic potential, including MeWo, MeM 50-10, MeM 50-17, 3S5 and 70W. No consistent potentiation or antagonism in the expression of any specific antigen was observed in any of the melanoma cell lines exposed to the combination of interferons. The present study demonstrates that the combination of IFN plus IFN can potentiate growth suppression in H0-1 human melanoma cells and that this effect is not associated with an increase in differentiation or a potentiation in antigenic modulation. In addition, no direct correlation between the expression of any specific antigen or its modulation by IFN or IFN, alone or in combination, and organ colonization and metastatic potential in nude mice was observed in the different melanoma cell lines. 相似文献

The effect of methylmercury chloride (MeHg) on growth and tube formation by cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was investigated. HUVECs were collected by enzymatic digestion with collagenase. Precultivation of HUVECs with MeHg at concentrations of 1.0–50.0 mol/L exerted negligible effects on the viable cell number, while the viable cell number was slightly reduced at 100 mol/L and fell to zero at concentrations exceeding 500.0 mol/L MeHg. The viable cell number was depressed in a concentration-dependent manner. Tube formation was studied by culturing the cells on gelled basement membrane matrix (Matrigel). Treatment of HUVECs with 0.1–5.0 mol/L MeHg for 24 h inhibited tube formation dose-dependently. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) increased tube formation in a dose-dependent manner, with half-maximum stimulation of tube formation at approximately 3.4% FBS. The length of tube formation decreased time-dependently at concentrations of 0.1 and 1.0 mol/L MeHg. Pretreatment of Matrigel with 1 mol/L MeHg before the cell seeding reduced the tube formation by HUVECs. These results suggest that the growth and tube formation by HUVECs is susceptible to MeHg cytotoxicity, and that MeHg could be injurious to endothelial cell function.Abbreviations MeHg

A method for the primary culture of rat liver cells on collagen-coated dextran microcarriers is described. Ethoxycoumarin deethylase (EOD) activity 24 hr after inoculation was comparable for liver cells cultured on microcarriers and on collagen-coated dishes. Cells were cultured on microcarriers for up to 48 hr and retained 25% of the initial EOD-activity that was seen in freshly isolated liver cells. Microcarrier-attached hepatocytes were cocultured with BALB/c 3T3 cells to study the metabolism-mediated cytotoxicity of cyclophosphamide (CPA). In the absence of hepatocytes, growth of 3T3 cells was not affected by CPA at concentrations up to 3600 M. In coculture with hepatocytes, cytotoxicity of CPA was expressed in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. At high concentrations, CPA slightly depressed the EOD-activity of hepatocytes. Our results indicate that cocultivation of microcarrier-attached rat liver cells with target cells represents a valuable approach to the study of the metabolism-mediated toxicity of xenobiotics in vitro.Abbreviations CPA

Background
We demonstrated that mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells-derived vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGF-R2) positive cells could differentiate into both endothelial cells (EC) and mural cells (MC), and termed them as vascular progenitor cells (VPC). Recently, we have established a method to expand monkey and human ES cells-derived VPC with the proper differentiation stage in a large quantity. Here we investigated the therapeutic potential of human VPC-derived EC and MC for vascular regeneration.Methods and Results
After the expansion of human VPC-derived vascular cells, we transplanted these cells to nude mice with hindlimb ischemia. The blood flow recovery and capillary density in ischemic hindlimbs were significantly improved in human VPC-derived EC-transplanted mice, compared to human peripheral and umbilical cord blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (pEPC and uEPC) transplanted mice. The combined transplantation of human VPC-derived EC and MC synergistically improved blood flow of ischemic hindlimbs remarkably, compared to the single cell transplantations. Transplanted VPC-derived vascular cells were effectively incorporated into host circulating vessels as EC and MC to maintain long-term vascular integrity.Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the combined transplantation of human ES cells-derived EC and MC can be used as a new promising strategy for therapeutic vascular regeneration in patients with tissue ischemia. 相似文献18.

Mannitol therapy is widely used for reducing brain edema, and ischemic brain swelling. However, mannitol at clinical concentrations induces apoptosis in endothelial cells. Because apoptosis may be a pathogenic mechanism in vascular injury, antiapoptotic agents may have a protective role in mannitol-induced apoptosis. In this study, we examined whether adrenomedullin (AM) prevents mannitol-induced apoptosis and also evaluated the associated signaling pathway of AM in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. AM prevented mannitol-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment with wortmannin blocked the AM-induced antiapoptotic effect. AM stimulated Akt at Ser473, and wortmannin inhibited the AM-induced Akt phosphorylation. These findings indicate that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway transmits the survival signal from AM. The potency of antiapoptotic effect of AM is stronger than that of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-1 in mannitol-induced apoptosis. AM can have a protective role not only in umbilical vein, but also in pulmonary, coronary, and aortic endothelial cells. These findings indicate that AM has a potent protective role in mannitol-induced apoptosis, through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Therefore, pretreatment with AM might help to maintain normal endothelial integrity during systemic mannitol therapy. 相似文献

Culture of 293 cells in different culture systems: Cell growth and recombinant adenovirus production
Growth of 293 cells (human embryonic kidney) was compared in various cell culture systems including static flasks, cell aggregates and a variety of porous microcarriers. The best results were achieved with Fibra-Cel carriers and cell aggregates (1.1–1.4 × 106 cells/ml). Virus production was compared using a recombinant replication-deficient adenovirus as a model. Virus yields of lysates from cells grown on Fibra-Cel carriers, as cell aggregates and in static flasks were comparable (1.7–1.9 × 108 pfu/ml). 相似文献
