Growth of embryonal carcinoma cells in serum-free medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two mouse embryonal carcinoma cell lines, PCC.4 aza-1 and F9, have been grown in serum-free F-12 medium supplemented with Pedersen fetuin, insulin, transferrin, and 2-mercaptoethanol. This medium supports long-term growth of both cell lines. When these cells are transferred from medium containing serum to this serum-free medium, growth continues without any detectable lag. PCC.4 aza-1 grown in this medium for over 20 generations retains the capacity to differentiate in vivo. This medium appears to be a general serum-free medium for the growth of embryonal carcinoma cells.

Substantial multiplication in vitro of cloned cells from a human embryonal carcinoma cell line, Tera 2, has been obtained in a basal medium (DMEM/Ham's F12,50:50, v/v) supplemented with 10 micrograms low density lipoprotein/ml, 100 micrograms high density lipoprotein/ml, 100 ng multiplication stimulating activity/ml, 100 ng insulin/ml and 1 microgram transferrin/ml. The growth rate appears to b...

Normal mesenchymal cells, normal epithelial cells and many transformed epithelial cells require serum attachment factors and extracellular matrix proteins for growth and differentiation in vitro, and recent evidence strongly supports a role for extracellular matrix molecules in the regulation of cell movement in vivo during early embryogenesis. We previously described the isolation and characte...
متن کاملCulture in embryonic kidney serum and xeno-free media as renal cell carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma cancer stem cells research model
The use of fetal bovine serum hinders obtaining reproducible experimental results and should also be removed in hormone and growth factor studies. In particular hormones found in FBS act globally on cancer cell physiology and influence transcriptome and metabolome. The aim of our study was to develop a renal carcinoma serum free culture model optimized for (embryonal) renal cells in order to se...
متن کاملDehydroepiandroesteron increased proliferation of neural progenitor cells derived from p19 embryonal carcinoma stem cells.
Introduction: The p19 line of embryonal carcinoma cells develops into neurons, astroglia and fibroblasts after aggregation and exposure to retinoic acid (RA). Dehydroepiandroesteron (DHEA) is a neurosteroid, can increase proliferation of human neural stem cell (NSC) and positively regulated the number of neurons produced. This study was initiated to assess the effect of DHEA on neural progenito...

When P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells are grown in a serum-free N2 medium on surfaces of tissue culture plastic, they die within two days. The death of these P19 cells is prevented by activin A and basic FGF (bFGF). The cells do not divide under these conditions. However, when P19 cells are cultured on substrata of extracellular matrix proteins such as laminin and fibronectin, activin A and ...
