Summary Epithelial cells from mouse seminal vesicles were enzymatically dissociated enriched by gradient centrifugation, and maintained
in collagen gel cultures with defined (serum-free) media. The epithelial origin of the cells was determined morhologically,
immunocytochemically, and biochemically. Cells formed three-dimensional colonies with a lumen in collagen gels. Cell number
was increased eight-fold within a 8 to 12-d culture period in a medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF) (10
ng/ml), insulin (10 μg/ml), transferrin (10 μg/ml), cholera toxin (10 ng/ml), and hydrocortisone (0.1 μg/ml). The cells required
eGF and insulin; the growth-promoting effects of these two peptide hormones were optimized by transferrin, cholera toxin,
and hydrocortisone. Fetal bovine serum did not support growth; rather, it suppressed the stimulated growth observed in serum-free
media. A time-course study revealed that a lag period preceded rapi growth. The collagen gel, serum-free culture provides
a powerful tool to study the effects of hormones on proliferation and differentiation of androgen sensitive cells. 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Subsequent addition of prolactin to the withdrawn cells caused a rapid accumulation of these mRNAs to prewithdrawal levels.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.

Summary Epithelial cells derived from bovine pancreatic duct have been grown continuously in culture for 30 weeks (approximately 90
doublings of the cell population). The cells were grown in Eagle's minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated
fetal bovine serum, 2 mM glutamine, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, and antibiotics. In confluent cultures, the cells are
multilayered and form circular structures. When tested at various passages, the cells neither formed colonies in soft agar
nor produced tumors after inoculation into athymic, nude mice. Hydrocortisone (1 and 5 μg per ml) and insulin (1,5 and 10
μg per ml) had no effect on the growth of the cells. β-Retinyl acetate inhibited growth rate and cell yield at a concentration
of 5 μg per ml but was not growth-inhibitory at lower concentrations. By electron microscopy the cells have numerous mitochondria,
Golgi and microvilli. Mucous droplets were observed in a small proportion of the cells. Desmosome-like structures and occluding
junctions were observed more frequently between cells that had been transferred as aggregates than between cells transferred
as single cells. Cytochemical studies indicated that some cells produce PAS positive granules that were not removed after
treatment of the cultures with diastase. Eleven cell clones were isolated from the mass culture. The growth rates of the clones
are different as well as the period of time in which the clones can be propagated in vitro.

Summary Biosynthetic human epidermal growth factor (Bh-EGF) induced dose-dependent synthesis and secretion of neutral mucin glycoprotein
when the fundal cells isolated from rabbit stomach were cultured in serum-free medium containing Bh-EGF at concentrations
as high as 10 to 100 ng/ml. At these high concentrations, Bh-EGF had no effect on the cell growth. In marked contrast, much
lower concentrations from 0.1 to 1.0 ng/ml of Bh-EGF failed to stimulate mucin synthesis, but enhanced proliferation of the
cells. Electrophoretic pattern of the mucin secreted from the cultured mucosal cells was very similar to that of the authentic
mucin obtained from rabbit stomach. Maximal secretion of the mucin from the cells was observed at Hour 96 of the culture.
Although fetal bovine serum (5%) and insulin (0.5 μg/ml) also stimulated the mucosal cells, both in growth and in mucin synthesis
and release, the enhancing activity of the mucin synthesized and released by Bh-EGF at a concentration of 100 ng/ml per microgram
DNA of cultured cells was far superior to that of 5% fetal bovine serum and 0.5 μg/ml insulin. 相似文献

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 new culture medium, NCTC 168, has been designed for human skin epithelial cells. This medium formulation was developed,
by combining and testing at various concentrations, components of media NCTC 135 and 163, since a 1∶1 mixture of these two
media with 10% horse serum supplement was found to promote epithelial cell outgrowth from human skin explants. The buffer
system in NCTC 168 maintains the pH of the medium between 7.0 and 7.2. In contrast to other media tested, NCTC 168 with 10%
horse serum is capable of initiating and sustaining larger epithelial cell outgrowths. Explants in serum-supplemented NCTC
168 in the absence of feeder cells reproducibly yield confluent epithelial cell sheets apparently free of fibroblasts after
only 19 to 28 days as compared with 5 weeks or longer for the other media tested. NCTC 168 also supports passage of human
epithelial cells to the sixth subculture generation without feeder cells. Electron microscopy has shown the presence of desmosomes
and tonofilaments in the passaged cells indicating the epithelial nature of the cells. The addition of epithelial growth factor,
hydrocortisone and insulin at 5 ng per ml, 4 μg per ml and 5 μg per ml, respectively did not appreciably enhance the growth
of the epithelial cells. 相似文献

Summary Twenty to twenty-two days postcoitum mouse fetal pancreas organ bits were cultured on the dermal surface of irradiated pigskin
as a substrate. The medium used for long term culture consisted of Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium with the addition of 10%
bovine serum, 0.02 U/ml insulin, 0.025 μg/ml glucagon, 3.63 μg/ml hydrocortisone, 100 μg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor or 10−8
M atropine. When the medium lacked trypsin inhibitor or atropine but contained the three hormones, the pigskin support began
to be destroyed after 2 to 4 wk in culture. Thereafter, the cultured cells could not grow and survive on the digested pigskin.
When 10−6
M atropine was added to the medium, amylase secretion from cultured cells and destruction of pigskin were inhibited completely
but pancreas cells could not grow or survive. In contrast, 100 μg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor or 10−8
M atropine permitted cell growth, permitted amylase secretion from the cultured acinar cells, and prevented the destruction
of pigskin. Under these conditions pancreas cells migrated or grew or both from the organ bits onto the surface of the pigskin
dermis and organoid aggregations formed. Hydrocortisone was needed to permit growth for more than 2 wk. Glucagon and insulin
had additive effects. Light and electron microscopic observations indicated the culture of at least five kinds of cells, i.e.,
duct, acinar, centroacinar, endocrine, and mesenchymal. The majority of cultured cells were duct cells and acinar cells. There
were few mesenchymal cells. Mouse pancreas cells were cultured for at least 12 wk by this method.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Simultaneous occurrence of pregnancylike lobuloalveolar morphogenesis and casein-gene expression in a culture of the whole mammary gland 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nivedita Ganguly Ranjan Ganguly Nozer M. Mehta Linda R. Crump M. R. Banerjee 《In vitro cellular & developmental biology. Plant》1981,17(1):55-60
Summary Entire second thoracic mammary glands of estrogen- and progesterone-treated immature virgin BALB/c mice were stimulated to
pregnancylike lobuloalveolar morphogenesis after 6 days of incubation with insulin (5 μg/ml), aldosterone (1 μg/ml), growth
hormone (5 μg/ml), cortisol (5 μg/ml), and prolactin (80 ng/ml, present as a contaminant in 5 μg/ml growth hormone). The alveolar
growth in the glands, as judged by morphological studies, was accompanied by an increase in cell number as a function of incubation
time in the hormonal medium. Hybridization of the total RNA from these glands to the casein mRNA specific complementary DNA
probe (cDNAcsn) revealed that the level of casein mRNA rises from 0.00012 to 0.005% between 1 and 6 days of incubation. Estimates showed
that the concentration of casein mRNA per cell rises 17-fold from 70 molecules on Day 1 to 1200 molecules on Day 6, whereas
the number of epithelial cells increases only twofold during the same incubation time. When the growth hormone preparation
was totally replaced by 80 ng of prolactin during the 6-day incubation, casein-mRNA levels were found to be 0.0083%. These
results demonstrate that a pregnancy-like morphogenesis and concurrent expression of the casein gene in vitro can be achieved
in a controlled hormone environment containing high cortisol and low prolactin concentrations. This one-step mammogenesis-lactogenesis
culture model should be useful for studying the mechanisms of hormonal regulation of casein-gene expression observed in prepartum
mammary gland in vivo.

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.

Summary Swine tracheal epithelium has been cultured as explants in a chemically defined medium for periods of up to 2 wk. The viability
of the explants was shown by the preservation of the ultrastructural features of cells in the epithelial layer and by the
active incorporation of radioactive glucosamine and sulfate into secreted mucin glycoproteins. The rate of secretion of mucin
glycoprotein was about 0.035 mg per cm2 per d. After initial 24 h lag period was shown to be due to the equilibration of intracellular mucin glycoprotein pools with
radioactive precursors. The rate of secretion of glycoprotein showed a linear dependence on the area of the explant, and maximal
incorporation was observed at 200 μM glucosamine. A higher concentration of35SO4, 1000 μM, was required for maximal incorporation of the precursor. Insulin at 0.1 to 1 μg/ml increased the rate of secretion twofold,
whereas 0.1 to 100 μg/ml of hydrocortisone and 0.1 to 100 μg/ml of epinephrine significantly decreased the rate of secretion.
Vitamin A had little or no effect of normal trachea explants at low concentrations, and, at higher concentrations, 10−5
M, it decreased the secretion of mucin glycoproteins. Vitamin A, at a concentration of 10−9
M, increased the rate of synthesis of glycoprotein at least fourfold in trachea explants from vitamin A-deficient rats.
Mucus secretions collected from the surface of swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were purified.
The mucus was solubilized by reduction and carboxymethylation, and the high molecular weight mucin glycoproteins were purified
by chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B columns under dissociating conditions in 2M guanidine HCl. The mucin glycoproteins purified from swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were virtually
indistingushable. They showed the same properties when examined by gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation. The purified
glycoproteins contained about 25% protein, and serine, threonine, and proline were the principal amino acids present. More
than 80% of the carbohydride chains in both samples were released by treatment with alkaline borohydride. Nearly the same
molar ratio ofN-acetylgalactosamine,N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, fucose, sulfate, and sialic acid was found in both preparations.

An electrophysiological freeze fracture assessment of cadmium nephrotoxicity in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Summary Human proximal tubule cell cultures exposed to doses of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) between 0.05 μg/ml and 0.5 μg/ml exhibited alterations in cell membrane structure and transport function. At these Cd concentrations,
cell numbers were not significantly altered from control values in either nonreplicating confluent, or actively replicating
subconfluent cultures. Transmission electron microscopy revealed few alterations in cultures treated with 0.05 μg/ml Cd. Tight
junctions were intact; organelles and myeloid body formation appeared normal. Freeze fracture analysis confirmed the integrity
of the tight junctions as well as increased numbers of vesicles or pits along the lateral cell membrane, indicating increased
endocytotic activity. Cells exposed to 0.1 μg/ml Cd were characterized by decreased numbers of microvilli and inhibited myeloid
body formation. Cd doses of 0.5 μg/ml elicited nuclear chromatin condensation, fragmented sealing strands in 5 to 10% of the
tight junction profiles, sparse microvilli, and inhibited myeloid body formation. Electrophysiologic assessments of transport
function by Ussing chamber analysis revealed decreases in transepithelial potentials for all three concentrations, with significant
differences at Cd concentrations of 0.5 to 0.1 μg/ml. Cells treated with 0.5 μg/ml Cd also exhibited slight decreases in electrical
resistance, consistent with the minimal fragmentation of sealing strands observed in freeze fracture replicas. Resistance
in cultures treated with 0.1 or 0.05 μg/ml Cd remained within control values and indicated that drops in potential difference
and short circuit current in these cells reflected true alterations in ion transport.

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 The effect of 17β-estradiol (E2) on growth of GH4C1 rat pituitary tumor cells was investigated under serum-free conditions and with medium containing charcoal-extracted serum.
Serum-free TRM-1 medium was a 1∶1 (vol/vol) mixture of F12-DME supplemented with 50 μg/ml gentamicin, 15 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid, 10 μg/ml insulin, 10 μg/ml transferrin, 10 ng/ml selenous acid, 10 nM 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3), 50 μM ethanolamine, and 500 μg/ml bovine serum albumin. The cells grew continuously in TRM-1 but were E2 responsive only when growth was retarded by reducing the T3 concentration to 10 pM (TRM-MOD). Addition of 1 to 10 nM E2 to TRM-MOD increased growth by 0.3 to 0.9 cell population doublings over controls in 9 d. By using medium supplemented with
charcoal-extracted sera, basal growth became 1 to 1.5 cell population doublings in 9 d. Addition of 0.1 pM E2 to medium containing charcoal-extracted serum caused a significant increase in cell number whereas pM-nM concentrations stimulated 200 to 570% increases over controls. The effect of steroid hormone was the same in phenol-red-containing
and indicator-free medium. The data presented confirm that the major requirements for demonstration of estrogenic effects
in culture were optimum concentrations of thyroid hormones and the presence of yet-to-be-characterized serum factors.

Summary Although luteinizing hormone (LH) alone stimulates ovarian interstitial cells cultured in serum-free medium to synthesize
large amounts of androgens, there seem to be additional factors in vivo that modulate the time course and magnitude of the
cellular responses to LH. In an attempt to develop a more nearly physiologic cell culture model, lipoproteins, insulin, and
insulinlike growth factor-I (IGF-I) were added to the serum-free medium. The effects of these modifications on androgen biosynthesis
by dispersed cells from ovaries of hypophysectomized immature rats cultured in 96-well tissue culture plates were examined.
A saturating dose of LH stimulated a 25-fold increase in androsterone synthesis at 2 d, which decreased at 4 and 6 d. Addition
of human high density (hHDL) or human low density lipoprotein (hLDL) caused a 2.5-fold increase in LH-stimulated androsterone
synthesis. Cells were approximately twice as sensitive to hHDL (ED50=5.5±0.5 μg cholesterol/ml) compared to hLDL (ED50=9.1±1.1 μg cholesterol/ml). Surprisingly, rat HDL caused only a 40% increase in LH-stimulated androsterone synthesis. When
insulin alone was added to cells cultured with a saturating dose of LH, there was a 2.8-fold increase in androsterone synthesis.
Addition of hHDL and insulin together caused a synergistic increase in LH-stimulated androsterone synthesis. In contrast to
hHDL, which did not change the time course of LH-stimulated androsterone production, insulin prolonged maximal LH-stimulated
androsterone synthesis at 4 and 6 d. Inasmuch as the ED50 for insulin action (1.3±0.1 μg/ml) was supraphysiologic, the effects of IGF-I on LH-stimulated androgen synthesis were examined.
IGF-I mimicked all of the effects of insulin, but at a physiologic concentration (ED50=2.5±0.3 ng/ml). Ovarian cells cultured in serum-free medium supplemented with hHDL and insulin or IGF-I exhibit responses
that closely approximate the physiologic responses observed in vivo. These results suggest that lipoproteins and IGF-I are
important physiologic stimulators of ovarian theca-interstitial cell androgen biosynthesis which, when added to the serum-free
medium, make the cellular responses in this in vitro model more nearly approximate the responses in vivo.

Summary The ability of a normal rat liver epithelial cell line with phenotypic characteristics of “oval” cells to grow in calcium-poor
medium has been investigated. The growth of these cells could be arrested in medium containing 0.03 mM Ca2+, a concentration below which cell necrosis began to occur 24 h postexposure. With increasing calcium concentration, progressive
cell proliferation was observed. Epithelial growth factor (EGF) (10 ng/ml) increased the survival and proliferation of cells
in calcium-poor medium and the response was inversely correlated with the extracellular calcium concentration. In contrast,
phenobarbital (0.2 to 2 mM), 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (0.01 to 1 μg/ml), or retinoic acid (0.001 to 0.1 μg/ml) depressed growth of cells
in calcium-poor medium. The results confirm the ability of EGF to lower the calcium requirement for proliferation of normal
cells, but such an effect does not seem to be a universal property of tumor promoters.
