Experimental conditions have been defined that allow bovine corneal endothelial (BCE) cells to grow in the complete absence of serum. Low density BCE cell cultures maintained on extracellular matrix (ECM)-coated dishes and plated in the total absence of serum proliferate actively when exposed to a synthetic medium supplemented with high density lipoprotein (HDL 500 μg protein/ml), transferrin (10 μg/ml), insulin (5 μg/ml), and fibroblast (FGP) or epidermal growth factor (EGF) added at concentrations of 100 or 50 ng/ml, respectively. Omission of any of these components results in a lower growth rate and/or final cell density of the cultures. BCE cell cultures plated on plastic dishes and exposed to the same synthetic medium grow very poorly. The longevity of BCE cultures maintained on plastic versus ECM and exposed to serum-free versus serum-containing medium has been studied. The use of ECM-coated dishes extended the life span of BCE cultures maintained in serum-supplemented medium to over 120 generations, as compared to less than 20 generations for cultures maintained on plastic. Likewise, BCE cells maintained on ECM and exposed to a synthetic medium supplemented with optimal concentrations of HDL, transferrin, insulin, and FGF underwent 85 generations, whereas control cultures maintained on plastic could not be passaged. The enhancing effect of ECM on BCE cell growth and culture longevity clearly illustrates the importance of the cell substrate in the control of proliferation of these cells. 相似文献

Establishing stable coculture systems with neuronal and Schwann cell lines has been considered difficult, presumably because of their high proliferative activity and phenotypic differences from primary cultured cells. The present study is aimed at developing methods for myelin formation under coculture of the neural crest-derived pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 and the immortalized adult rat Schwann cell line IFRS1. Prior to coculture, PC12 cells were seeded at low density (3 × 10(2)/cm(2)) and maintained in serum-free medium with N2 supplement, ascorbic acid (50 μg/ml), and nerve growth factor (NGF) (50 ng/ml) for a week. Exposure to such a NGF-rich environment with minimum nutrients accelerated differentiation and neurite extension, but not proliferation, of PC12 cells. When IFRS1 cells were added to NGF-primed PC12 cells, the cell density ratio of PC12 cells to IFRS1 cells was adjusted from 1:50 to 1:100. The cocultured cells were then maintained in serum-free medium with B27 supplement, ascorbic acid (50 μg/ml), NGF (10 ng/ml), and recombinant soluble neuregulin-1 type III (25 ng/ml). Myelin formation was illustrated by light and electron microscopy performed at day 28 of coculture. The stable PC12-IFRS1 coculture system is free of technical and ethical problems arising from the primary culture and can be a valuable tool to study peripheral nerve degeneration and regeneration. 相似文献

The serum-free growth of primary cultures of normal human epithelial-like cells from amniotic membranes was accomplished. The synthetic medium consists of a 1 : 1 basal nutrient mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) and Ham's F-12 supplemented with 2.5 μg/ml insulin, 50 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF), 5 μg/ml transferrin, and 0.1 ng/ml triiodothyronine (T3). EGF is the primary mitogen and is essential for cell proliferation in this system. 相似文献

The hormones which support growth, in vitro, of normal, neonatal human foreskin fibroblasts were determined. Wheresas thrombin and hydrocortisone were major growth stimulants, platelet-derived growth factor was not. Human foreskin fibroblasts grew in a serum-free, biochemically defined medium consisting of epidermal growth factor (100 ng/ml), insulin (100 ng/ml), trasferrin (10 μg/ml), thrombin (1 μg/ml), ascorbic acid (10 μg/ml), and hydrocortisone (5 × 10?5M) in a 1:1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F-12, supplemented with ovalbumin (1 mg/ml) and trace elements. The growth achieved was comparable to that achieved with 5% fetal bovine serum. Neither platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblst growth factor, nor somatomedin activity increased proliferation. This serum-free medium designated Defined Medium F, provides a biochemically defined system for growth and limited subcultivation of human foreskin fibroblasts in vitro. 相似文献

Summary Five human tumor cell lines were studied for growth factor requirements and for replication in serum-free media. Of the five
tumor lines HT-29 (colon carcinoma), TWI (melanoma), A-549 (lung carcinoma), Panc-1, (carcinoma of the pancreas) and EJ, (bladder
carcinoma) only HT-29 and TWI grew in the serum-free medium (SFM). In a series of additional experiments, a combination of
transferrin (5 μg/ml), insulin (5 μg/ml), triiodothyronine (2×10−10
M), epidermal growth factor (20 ng/ml), and selenium (5 ng/ml) was added to Chee’s essential medium (CEM) without serum (C-TITES
medium). The C-TITES modification of CEM was found to allow optimal replication of HT-29 and TWI cells. Both HT-29 and TWI
cells have replicated continuously in C-TITES medium for periods of more than 15 mo. These cells replicate with slightly lower
doubling times than in CEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Deletion of insulin or transferrin from the C-TITES medium
resulted in cessation of cell growth of HT-29 and TWI. HT-29 assumed a somewhat rounded morphology, whereas TWI grew with
the characteristic fibroblastic morphology in C-TITES medium. Cell line EJ did not grow in C-TITES medium. The other two cell
lines, A-549 and Panc-1, grew in C-TITES medium but their growth rate was much slower than that in SSM. Availability of cell
lines that can be propagated in serum-free, hormone-supplemented medium may aid in the study of the mechanisms by which hormones
influence cell growth.

To investigate the effect of growth factors on pre-implantation development, bovine zygotes, produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF) of in vitro-matured (IVM) oocytes, were cultured in a serum-free medium to which the following growth factors were added one at a time: epidermal growth factor (EGF), acidic fibroblast growth factor (a-FGF), insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II), platelet-derived growth factor from human platelets (PDGF), and platelet-derived growth factor-AB, human, recombinant (PDGF-AB). All growth factors were added at a dose of either 10 or 50 ng/ml, except PDGF which was added at a dose of either 5 or 15 ng/ml. The control medium was TCM 199 supplemented with sodium pyruvate (0.25 mmol/1), BSA (10 mg/ml), insulin (5 μg/ml), transferrin (5 μg/ml), and sodium selenite (5 ng/ml). Embryos were cultured for 8 days (day of insemination = Day 0). The mean percentages of first cleavage on Day 2 varied from 67% to 86% and the differences between the 2 doses, or between the control and growth factor- treated groups were not significant (p≥0.13). The effects of the two doses on subsequent development up to the blastocyst stage did not differ either (p≥0.12). There was no stimulatory effect of any of the used exogenous growth factors on embryo development up to the morula or blastocyst stage on Day 7, or blastocyst stage on Day 8. Moreover, medium supplemented with PDGF had fewer blastocysts than the control (p≤0.03). The results indicate that growth factor supplementation may not necessarily increase the yield of blastocysts from bovine IVM-IVF oocytes in a serum-free medium. 相似文献

A serum-free medium for serial culture of baby hamster kidney cell line 21 (BHK-21) as container-adherent cells was developed. The medium is a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with fibroblast growth factor, fibronectin, insulin, oleic acid (preincubated with fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin as carrier), and transferrin. The fibronectin was required for cell adherence, the other factors for optimal cell multiplication. When cell input was greater than about 1,900 cells/cm2, this serum-free medium supported cell multiplication at a rate approximately equal to the rate in medium with 10% serum. At lower cell input, growth in the serum-free medium was poor unless it was supplemented with serum-free medium which had been conditioned by BHK-21 cells. The conditioned medium contained a factor(s) which enabled or stimulated cell multiplication. 相似文献

Summary Cultures of normal human tracheal gland epithelial cells that exhibit functional differentiation have been propagated in serum-free
medium supplemented with insulin (5 μg/ml), epidermal growth factor (10 ng/ml), hydrocortisone (0.5 μg/ml), and bovine pituitary
extract (25 μg/ml). The cells retain many characteristics of epithelial cells including microvilli on cell surfaces, desmosomes
between cells, and tonofilaments in the cytoplasm. In addition, they exhibit keratin-positive titers and react positively
with Peanut agglutinin, which is specific for the disaccharide β-d-galactose-(l→ 3)N-acetyld-galactosamine, a major component of mucin glycoprotein. The cells also exhibit normal Cl− channel activity which was enhanced by the cAMP agonist Forskolin. The major component of the cellular secretion was hyaluronic
acid; approximately 10% of the void volume material was resistant to hyaluronidase and may contain material similar to mucin
glycoprotein. Some of the cell cultures have been maintained in serum-free conditions for 6 to 7 passages. This model will
be important to study regulation of ion-channel activities and mucous glycoprotein secretion and to compare such regulations
with the tracheal mucosal epithelial cells already established.

1. Chick liver cells were incubated in unsupplemented medium (control), or medium supplanted with either 1 microgram/ml pituitary derived chicken growth hormone (GH), 50 ng/ml recombinant human insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I), or 1 microgram growth hormone/ml and 50 ng insulin like growth factor-I/ml (GH + IGF-I). 2. GH supplementation stimulated acetate incorporation into liver cell lipid. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) lipid secretion was increased quantitatively by GH. 3. Cells incubated with IGF-I incorporated more acetate into lipid and secreted more lipid as VLDL and HDL than controls. 4. A metabolic antagonism between GH and IGF-I was evident with respect to lipogenesis. 5. Neither GH nor IGF-I altered, quantitatively, cell protein synthesis or apoprotein secretion. 相似文献

A serum-free growth medium composed of MCDB-104 supplemented with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (3 μg/ml), epidermal growth factor (EGF) (100 ng/ml), insulin (INS) (5 μg/ml), transferrin (TRS) (5 μg/ml), and dexamethasone (DEX) (55 ng/ml) supports the proliferation of WI38 cells at a rate and to a density similar to that of medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). EGF exerts its effect at moderate cell densities while PDGF appears to modulate cell proliferation at high densities. Cells seeded into EGF-, INS-, TRS-, and DEX-supplemented medium enter S phase approx. 3 h earlier than cells seeded into PDGF-, EGF-, INS-, TRS- and DEX-supplemented medium or FBS-supplemented medium. 相似文献

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.

Egg yolk lipoprotein promoted growth of a wide variety of mammalian cell lines, including plasma-cytomas and epithelial cell lines, in serum-free medium. The lipoprotein was active for cell growth when used with insulin, transferrin, ethanolamine and selenite. The most active lipoprotein fraction (YLP-pI7.5) was purified to give a single peak by chromatofocusing and gel filtration, and was homogeneous on a 0.35% agarose gel electrophoretogram. The lipoprotein was characterised as a very low density lipoprotein with a protein content of only 1.3%. This lipoprotein had an optimal concentration of 300 g/ml (4 g protein/ml). It was easily separable from proteinous molecules secreted into the serum-free medium by the cells, since it floated on the surface of the medium after addition of ammonium sulfate, to precipitate protein, and centrifugation. An associated structure of lipid and protein seemed to be still necessary for the lipoprotein to exhibit a growth promoting activity. 相似文献

MDCK cells maintained on extracellular matrix (ECM)-coated dishes and exposed to Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DME) supplemented with transferrin and either high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) or phosphatidyl choline (PC) liposomes have a growth rate and final cell density similar to those of cultures exposed to serum-supplemented DME. When MDCK cells are exposed to a medium consisting of a mixture (1:1) of DME and F12 medium (D/F), the addition of transferrin (10 μg/ml) alone supports cell growth and the presence of HDLs or PC liposomes is no longer required. MDCK cells exposed to D/F medium supplemented with transferrin can be passaged for more than 50 generations in total absence of serum. The F12 components that support growth in the absence of HDLs or PC liposomes are biotin (which is absent in DME) and choline (which is present in insufficient concentration in DME). Supplementation of DME with transferrin, biotin (3.6 ng/ml), and choline (10 μg/ml) allows optimal growth of MDCK cells and permits serial propagation through more than 50 generations. The growth requirement of MDCK cells for HDLs or PC liposomes can therefore be replaced by adequate concentrations of biotin and choline. The widely observed fact that a combination of DME/F12 medium is more effective than DME alone in supporting cell growth may be due in part to the lack of biotin and suboptimal choline concentration in DME. 相似文献

Mouse epidermal keratinocytes. Clonal proliferation and response to hormones and growth factors in serum-free medium 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A serum-free medium (LEP-1) has been developed for mouse epidermal keratinocytes. LEP-1 consists of "Ca2+-free" Eagle's MEM with non-essential amino acids and seven added supplements (transferrin, 5 micrograms/ml; epidermal growth factor (EGF), 5 ng/ml; hydrocortisone, 0.5 microM; insulin, 5 micrograms/ml; phosphoethanolamine and ethanolamine, each 50 microM; bovine pituitary extract, 180 micrograms of protein/ml). Although serum-free the culture system was dependent for growth on bovine pituitary extract as the only still undefined supplement. LEP-1 supports sustained multiplication of mouse keratinocytes for 25 or more population doublings. A clonal growth assay was developed to investigate the action of growth factors, hormones and other supplements on keratinocytes. Cells grown in LEP-1 (calcium concentration was 0.03 mM) maintained a high proliferative rate and presented the typical morphology of basal epidermal cells. When the calcium concentration of the medium was raised to 1.0 mM, the cells were triggered to differentiate terminally. The epithelial nature of the cells was demonstrated both by electron microscopy and by immunostaining with anti-keratin antibody. The maturation stage of the keratinocytes was defined by several morphological features during the proliferative phase and in terminally differentiating cultures. This serum-free system supported a useful number of cell divisions while keratinocytes retained the capacity to undergo terminal differentiation when given the appropriate stimulus. It provides, therefore, provides a useful model for investigations on growth, differentiation and malignant transformation of epidermal cells in culture. 相似文献

The characteristics of two tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) B-cell lines (sfBIT and sfBT) growth-transformed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that proliferate continuously in serum-free medium are described. sfBIT was established by selecting cells for growth in RPMI 1640 supplemented with insulin, transferrin, and selenium (J. E. Shaw, R. G. Petit, and K. Leung, J. Virol. 61:4033-4037, 1987). sfBT, a subline of sfBIT cells reported here for the first time, required transferrin as the only protein supplement for continuous growth in RPMI 1640. Growth of sfBT cells was linear with human transferrin at 10(-2) to 10 micrograms/ml. Transferrin at 5 micrograms/ml yielded a culture density of 5 X 10(5) to 1 X 10(6) cells per ml, a cell doubling time of 2 to 3 days, and a culture viability greater than 95%. sfBIT and sfBT cells released transforming virus during continuous growth in serum-free culture medium without EBV-inducing agents. The spent medium of both serum-free lines supported cell growth at low culture density (1 x 10(4) to 5 X 10(4) cells per ml), but growth was arrested at low culture density with fresh serum-free medium. A procedure to measure growth-promoting activity (GPA) was established, and it revealed that the GPA of spent medium was greater than that of fresh medium for both serum-free cell lines. When fresh and spent media were dialyzed (molecular weight cutoff, 3,500) and subsequently concentrated by lyophilization, only the GPA of spent medium increased. We conclude that maintenance of growth transformation of tamarin cells latently infected with EBV is mediated by growth factors that are entirely autocrine in origin. 相似文献

Insulin (5 micrograms/ml), thyroxine (1 microgram/ml) and beta-oestradiol (0.1 microgram/ml), if added separately to the medium, did not significantly influence the growth of normal human diploid LEP 19 cells cultivated in Eagle's MEM medium with 1% foetal calf serum. Combined, they did not influence the growth of LEP 19 cells in serum-free MEM medium either. Under the same cultivation conditions, insulin caused 37%, thyroxine 24% and a mixture of insulin, thyroxine and beta-oestradiol 325% (without serum) or 15% (with 1% foetal calf serum) stimulation of the growth of human heteroploid HeLa cells. Isolated beta-oestradiol significantly inhibited the growth of HeLa cells. 相似文献

A potent growth factor, PC13 embryonal carcinoma-derived growth factor (ECDGF), has been isolated from serum-free medium conditioned by PC13 murine embryonal carcinoma cells. ECDGF is a single chain, cationic hydrophobic molecule of 17 500 daltons. ECDGF will induce DNA synthesis in established fibroblast cell lines and the immediate differentiated progeny of PC13 EC cells in vitro, and consequently appears to differ from other well characterised growth factors both in structure and action. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of insulin and somatomedin-C/insulinlike growth factor I(Sm-C) in purified porcine Leydig cells in vitro on gonadotrophins (hCG) receptor number, hCG responsiveness (cAMP and testosterone production), and thymidine incorporation into DNA. Leydig cells cultured in a serum-free medium containing transferrin, vitamin E, and insulin (5 micrograms/ml) maintained fairly constant both hCG receptors and hCG responsiveness. When they were cultured for 3 days in the same medium without insulin, there was a dramatic decline (more than 80%) in both hCG receptor number and hCG responsiveness. However the cAMP but not the testosterone response to forskolin was normal. Both insulin and Sm-C at nanomolar concentrations prevent the decline of both hCG receptors and hCG-induced cAMP production. This effect of both peptides was dose dependent with an ED50 of about 1 ng/ml and 5 ng/ml for SM-C and insulin, respectively. Insulin and Sm-C had no additive effect on these parameters. At nanomolar concentrations, Sm-C and insulin enhanced hCG-induced testosterone production but the effect of Sm-C was significantly higher than that of insulin. However, the effect of insulin at higher concentrations (5 micrograms/ml) was significantly higher than that of Sm-C at 50 ng/ml. In contrast, at nanomolar concentrations only Sm-C stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA and cell multiplication, the stimulatory effect of insulin on these parameters, was seen only at micromolar concentrations. These results indicate that both Sm-C and insulin acting through their own receptors increase Leydig cell steroidogenic responsiveness to hCG by increasing hCG receptor number and improving some step beyond cAMP formation. In contrast, the mitogenic effects of insulin are mediated only through Sm-C receptors. 相似文献

The effects of insulin and the somatomedins on differentiation of rat myoblasts were investigated in experiments on cells cloned from Yaffe's L6 line. Incubation for 48 hr with either insulin or Temin's multiplication stimulating activity (MSA), a member of the somatomedin family, caused a dramatic increase in myoblast fusion. This stimulation of differentiation is not a simple consequence of the increased cell density resulting from the effects of these hormones on myoblast proliferation, and the increase in fusion is not an effect common to all mitogens (FGF inhibits the process). Other somatomedins (human somatomedin C and insulin-like growth factor I), were as effective as MSA in stimulating differentiation. The somatomedins were active at concentrations in the range of their levels in fetal blood, in contrast to insulin, which was inactive at concentrations below 10?7, M. Growth hormone (GH) had no effect on muscle differentiation. In serum-free medium MM-1 (in which myoblasts maintain apparently normal morphology and metabolic activity), the very high levels of insulin required to stimulate differentiation could be replaced entirely by physiological levels (1.0 μg/ml) of MSA, further supporting our view that insulin at high concentrations serves primarily as an analogue of the somatomedins in stimulating the growth and development of muscle cells. 相似文献
