Glioblastoma cell line-derived spheres in serum‑containing medium versus serum-free medium: a comparison of cancer stem cell properties.
In addition to the primary culturing of cancer stem cells (CSCs) from tumor tissues, CSCs are found in established tumor cell lines. However, it is unclear how culture conditions affect CSC enrichment. Additionally, the differentiation potential of cell line-derived CSCs has not been well studied. In our study, the glioblastoma cell lines LN229, T...
متن کاملGrowth of a human breast cancer cell line in serum-free hormone-supplemented medium.
ZR-75-1, a human breast cancer cell line, has been grown in hormone-supplemented medium without serum. The factors required for optimal growth include 17beta-estradiol, insulin, transferrin, dexamethasone, and L-triiodothyronine. If estradiol, insulin, or L-triiodothyronine is omitted, cells cease division within 7 days, but viability is retained for at least 14 days. Omission of transferrin le...
متن کاملInitiate Tumors with Single Cell Spheres Formed in Serum-Containing Medium
Background : It is difficult to prospectively identify and maintain putative tumor-initiating cells (TICs). Spheres that formed in serum-free media contained more TICs while spheres formed in serum-containing media were not used in tumor-initiating. Methods : Soft-agar was used to isolate colonies. A continuous, static suspension culture using serum-containing media was modified from liquid ove...
متن کاملLabel-retaining assay enriches tumor-initiating cells in glioblastoma spheres cultivated in serum-free medium
Label-retaining cells, which are characterized by dormancy or slow cycling, may be identified in a number of human normal and cancer tissues, and these cells demonstrate stem cell potential. In glioblastoma, label-retaining assays to enrich glioma stem cells remain to be fully investigated. In the present study, glioblastoma sphere cells cultured in serum-free medium were initially stained with...
متن کاملTaurine Biosynthesis in a Fish Liver Cell Line (ZFL) Adapted to a Serum-Free Medium
Although taurine has been shown to play multiple important physiological roles in teleosts, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying dietary requirements. Cell lines can provide useful tools for deciphering biosynthetic pathways and their regulation. However, culture media and sera contain variable taurine levels. To provide a useful cell line for the investigation of taurine h...
