چکیده
Proliferating nonmyocardial cells (NMCs) complicate primary heart cultures and may influence myocardial cell (MC) differentiation. In cultures from the day-old rat ventricle, we validated a method to arrest this proliferation; and we quantitated cross-striated cells and the chronotropic response to isoproterenol to assess MC differentiation. MCs were cultured at single cell density using an improved method. By 4 days, all cells could be identified as MCs or NMCs. In cultures treated for 3 days with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), 0.1 miw, serial cell counts were unchanged through 11 days. Among 50,000 cells from 110 cultures, 75-80% were MCs. In control cultures without BrdU, NMC density was 3and 6-fold that in BrdU-treated cultures at days 5 and 8, respectively (P < 0.01), although the MCs were not overgrown. The MCs did not proliferate in either culture. The proportion of living MCs with cross-striations was similar in treated and control cultures at day 5 (72.6% vs. 69.9%, P > 0.05) but was lower in controls at day 8 (86.3% vs. 50.4%, P < 0.01). A sensitive (ED50 10-100 pM), specific chronotropic response to L-isoproterenol was present in both treated and control cultures, but the maximum response was only 20-30% as great in controls on days 4 and 8 (P < 0.01). Baseline beating rates were the same. The MCs had well-differentiated ultrastructure, including a T system. By autoradiography, a maximum 18.4% of MCs had nuclear incorporation of H-BrdU at day 8. Media conditioned by NMCs or by the control cultures did not change the cross-striations or isoproterenol response of BrdU-treated cultures. Thus, in a new culture preparation with few and stable NMCs, morphological and functional MC characteristics were different from those of MCs in cultures with proliferating NMCs. We suggest that an MC-NMC interaction can alter MC properties and that this effect should be considered in studies of primary rat heart cultures. The pure, stable, well-differentiated MCs in BrdUtreated cultures will be useful for studying MC growth, repair, and other time-dependent phenomena. CircRes 50:101-116, 1982

Effect of Lithium Chloride on Proliferation and Bone Differentiation of Rat Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Culture
Objective(s) It is believed that the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation and proliferation are the results of activation of wnt signaling pathway. On the other hand, lithium chloride is reported to be able to activate this pathway. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of lithium on in vitro proliferation and bone differentiation of marrow-derived MSC. Materials and ...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of the Proliferation and Differentiation of Rat Articular Chondrocytes in Alginate 3D Culture
Background: While articular chondrocytes are among those appropriate candidates for cartilage regeneration, the cell dedifferentiation during monolayer culture has limited their application. Several investigations have indicated the usefulness of alginate, but the topic of proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in alginate culture has still remained controversial. Methods: Rat articu...

Introduction: Previous investigations have indicated that the presence of BIO (6-Bromoindirubin-3-Oxime) in medium of some cell culture enhances the cell proliferation and viability. The aim of the present study was to investigate the BIO effects on in vitro expansion of rat marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) culture. Methods: In the present experimental study, bone marrow cells from ...

Background: There are controversial reports about the exact mechanisms of lead-induced hypertension, but many factors such as alteration in the responsiveness of cardiovascular system to endogenous substances including catecholamines could be one of the mechanisms involved. In present study, the effect of exposure to 100 ppm lead acetate by drinking water (in the periods of 4, 8 and 12 weeks)...
متن کاملScutellarin may alleviate cognitive deficits in a mouse model of hypoxia by promoting proliferation and neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells
Objective(s): Scutellarin, a flavonoid extracted from the medicinal herb Erigeron breviscapus Hand-Mazz, protects neurons from damage and inhibits glial activation. Here we examined whether scutellarin may also protect neurons from hypoxia-induced damage. Materials and Methods: Mice were exposed to hypoxia for 7 days and then administered scutellarin (50 mg/kg/d) or vehicle for 30 days Cognitiv...
