Intermediary metabolism in the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma chondrocyte.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rat chondrosarcoma chondrocyte has the dual capacity to metabolize glucose (mainly via glycolysis) and glutamine (via an oxidative pathway). Glutamine metabolism, unlike that of glucose, is unable to sustain intracellular ATP concentrations. Glutamine consumption by the chondrosarcoma chondrocyte, however, is significantly in excess of its utilization as an amide-group donor in hexosamine synthesis, implying a novel and major role in cell metabolism.

1095 - Gene Expression Monitoring of the Swarm Rat Chondrosarcoma
Introduction: The Swarm rat chondrosarcoma is a model system for the study of chondrocyte metabolism and matrix synthesis, especially proteoglycans. Chondrocytes, when cultured in monolayer tend to dedifferentiate into fibroblasts over time, yet parallels are often drawn between in vitro monolayer culture and the in vivo state of cartilage, even though the cells are phenotypically different. A ...
متن کاملCRISPR/Cas9 mediated generation of stable chondrocyte cell lines with targeted gene knockouts; analysis of an aggrecan knockout cell line.
The Swarm rat chondrosarcoma (RCS) cell lines derived from a spontaneous neoplasm in a rat spine several decades ago have provided excellent models of chondrosarcoma tumor development. In addition the robust chondrocyte phenotype (expression of a large panel of genes identical to that seen in normal rat cartilage) and the ability to generate cell clones have facilitated their extensive use in t...
متن کاملEffects of insulin and multiplication-stimulating activity on proteoglycan biosynthesis in chondrocytes from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma.
Somatomedins have been consistently reported to be more potent than insulin in stimulating proteoglycan synthesis and other anabolic responses in cartilage tissue, and pharmacologic levels of insulin have been required for significant effect. Multiplication-stimulating activity (MSA), purified from medium conditioned by a rat liver cell line, and insulin were tested on monolayer cultures of cho...
متن کاملAltered Synthesis of Cartilage-Specific Proteoglycans by Mutant Human Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein
BACKGROUND The mechanism by which mutant cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) induces a pseudoachondroplasia phenotype remains unknown, and the reason why a mutation of a minor protein of the growth plate cartilage causes total disruption of endochondral bone formation has not yet been determined. The current study was performed to investigate the effects of mutated COMP on the synthesis ...
متن کاملAbsence of cell-surface annexin V is accompanied by defective collagen matrix binding in the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma.
Annexin V has been characterized as a major collagen type II binding cell-surface component of normal chondrocytes and is also called anchorin CII in chondrogenic populations. Herein we present evidence that in vitro cultured Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells are not capable of binding collagen type II in significant quantities to their surfaces, as compared to normal rat chondrocytes. This findin...
