Effects of Mouse Strain on Establishment of Embryonic Stem Cell Lines
Purpose: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts with self-renewal and pluripotency characteristics. These cells have potential for studies of in vitro differentiation, gene function, etc. This study was, therefore, initiated to establish new ES lines and evaluate the effects of strain on ES cell production. Materials and Methods: 3-5 day blastocysts were ...
متن کاملCharacterization of hTERT-immortalized osteoblast cell lines generated from wild-type and connexin43-null mouse calvaria.
The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) has been proposed to play key roles in bone differentiation and mineralization, but underlying cellular mechanisms are not totally understood. To further explore roles of Cx43 in these processes, we immortalized calvarial osteoblasts from wild-type and Cx43-null mice using human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). Osteoblastic (MOB) cell lines we...
متن کاملMaking immortalized cell lines from embryonic mouse kidney.
Immortalized cell lines derived from embryonic mouse kidneys are useful tools for exploring signaling pathways, morphogenetic mechanisms, and gene function in renal development: they also provide a means for efficient first-round screening of panels of small molecules intended to combat renal pathologies such as the development of cysts, and such cell line-based screening can allow a valuable r...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of conditionally immortalized cell lines derived from mouse early embryonic inner ear.
Inner ear sensory hair cells (HCs), supporting cells (SCs), and sensory neurons (SNs) are hypothesized to develop from common progenitors in the early embryonic otocyst. Because little is known about the molecular signals that control this lineage specification, we derived a model system of early otic development: conditionally immortalized otocyst (IMO) cell lines from the embryonic day 9.5 Im...
متن کاملSupportive Effects of Human Embryonic Fibroblast Cell Lines on Growth and Proliferation of EBV-Transformed Lymphoblastoid Cells
Human diploid fibroblast cells produce a spectrum of necessary growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) components essential for growth and proliferation of a variety of other cell types. In this study, the effect of five human embryonic fibroblast cell lines, isolated from liver, lung, skin and foreskin tissues, was investigated. A coculture system analyse was employed to cloning efficien...
