THE EFFECT OF pH ON GROWTH, PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, AND LIPID-RICH PARTICLES OF CULTURED MAMMALIAN CELLS
A simple procedure has been established for controlling and measuring the pH of media in which the bicarbonate-carbonic acid system is the predominant buffer. The HCO(-) (3) concentration was maintained at 22.5 mM and the H(2)CO(3) concentration was varied by equilibrating the media with 0.5 to 40 per cent CO(2) in air. The curve relating extracellular pH to 3 day cell growth was similar for gl...
متن کاملTubulin assembly sites and the organization of cytoplasmic microtubules in cultured mammalian cells
The number, distribution, and nucleating capacity of microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) has been investigated in a variety of cultured mammalian cells. Most interphase cells contain a single MTOC that is localized at the centrosome region and corresponds to the centriole and pericentriolar material. MTOCs, like centrioles, become duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle and are equat...
متن کاملLipid metabolism in cultured cells.
Utilization of serum triglycerides by cells in tissue culture has been studied in order to determine their importance as a source of cell lipids and to obtain information on the cellular mechanisms of triglyceride uptake. L strain mouse fibroblasts incorporated serum triglycerides from the growth medium, but the rates of uptake were up to IO-fold less than that of free fatty acids or monoglycer...
متن کاملCytoplasmic assembly of microtubules in cultured cells.
The origin of non-centrosomal microtubules was investigated in a variety of animal cells in culture by means of time-lapse digital fluorescence microscopy. A previous study (Keating et al. (1997) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 94, 5078-5083) demonstrated a pathway for formation of non-centrosomal microtubules by release from the centrosome. Here we show a parallel pathway not dependent upon the cent...
متن کاملLipid synthesis in mammalian cells
Cancer cells frequently exhibit specific alterations in their metabolic activity. This metabolic reprogramming supports the increased production of metabolic intermediates for the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, and is a prerequisite for the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. The most prominent metabolic alterations in cancer are an increase in glucose uptake and the use of a...
