Human proximal tubule epithelial cells cultured on hollow fibers: living membranes that actively transport organic cations
The bioartificial kidney (BAK) aims at improving dialysis by developing 'living membranes' for cells-aided removal of uremic metabolites. Here, unique human conditionally immortalized proximal tubule epithelial cell (ciPTEC) monolayers were cultured on biofunctionalized MicroPES (polyethersulfone) hollow fiber membranes (HFM) and functionally tested using microfluidics. Tight monolayer formatio...
متن کاملToxic effects of oxygen on cultured alveolar epithelial cells, lung fibroblasts and alveolar macrophages.
Exposure to hyperoxia results in endothelial necrosis followed by type II cell proliferation. This suggests that type II cells are resistant to hyperoxia. Oxygen-induced lung injury may result from an overproduction of oxygen metabolites normally scavenged by antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase, catalase and reduced glutathione (GSH). Therefore, resistance of...
متن کاملCharacterization of Long-Term Cultured Murine Submandibular Gland Epithelial Cells
PURPOSE Human and rat salivary gland cell lines derived from tumors or genetic modification are currently available for research. Here, we attempted to culture and characterize long-term cultured cells spontaneously derived from wild type murine submandibular glands (SGs). METHODS SGs were removed from 3-week-old C57B/6J female mice and dissociated by collagenase type 1 and hyaluronidase dige...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of explant cultured human oral mucosal epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To culture and characterize oral mucosal epithelial cells (OMEC) grown on de-epithelialized human amniotic membrane (HAM) to explore their suitability as autografts in patients with bilateral ocular surface disease (OSD) and limbal stem cell deficiency. METHODS Oral biopsy samples were obtained from 20 patients undergoing oral reconstructive surgery, with informed consent and Institut...
متن کاملCharacterization of mucins from cultured normal human tracheobronchial epithelial cells.
Early-passage normal human tracheobronchial epithelial (NHTBE) cells grown in air-liquid interface cultures in medium containing retinoids differentiate into a mucociliary epithelium over a 2- to 3-wk period and express increasing mRNA levels of the airway mucin genes MUC5AC and MUC5B as the cultures age; the levels of MUC2 mRNA were very low throughout the study. Using specific antibodies to M...
