Establishment of a novel rat cholangiocarcinoma cell culture model.
Furan cholangiocarcinogenesis in rat liver is proving to be a unique and useful animal model for investigating important aspects of the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma potentially relevant to the human disease. We now describe the first culture model of rat cholangiocarcinoma cells derived from a transplantable cholangiocarcinoma originally induced in the liver of a fu...
متن کاملSlice Culture A Novel Model of Glioma Cell Invasion Using Organotypic Brain
A novel model of glioma cell invasion was established by using an organotypic culture of rat brains. Brain slices prepared from 2-day-old rat neonates were maintained in a culture at the interface between air and the culture medium. The slices were placed on double-layered membranes consisting of a polycarbonate membrane with 8-/im pores and a mem brane with 0.4-fim pores. The organotypic cytoa...
متن کاملSignificant glial alterations in response to iron loading in a novel organotypic hippocampal slice culture model
Aberrant iron deposition in the brain is associated with neurodegenerative disorders including Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. To study the collective response to iron loading, we have used hippocampal organotypic slices as a platform to develop a novel ex vivo model of iron accumulation. We demonstrated differential uptake and toxicity of iron after 12 h exposu...
متن کاملAn organotypic culture model to study nigro-striatal degeneration.
Functional and reliable in vitro models of Parkinson's disease (PD) are valuable for studying mechanisms of dopaminergic degeneration before proceeding to animal testing. At present, all in vitro models involve substitute cell types and thus their direct relevance to PD is questionable. Here, we describe an organotypic culture model which conserves the 3D architecture of the nigro-striatal path...
متن کاملThree-dimensional organotypic culture of stratified epithelia.
One of the limitations of conventional tissue culture on flat two-dimensional surfaces is the loss of complex interactions between the epithelium and stroma. We have devised a culture system that recreates the salient features of the stratified epithelium using primary cell cultures from mouse models. The protocol described here is applicable to the esophageal epithelium, but stratified epithel...
