Production of Collagenase Inhibitor by Mouse Calvaria in Tissue Culture
نویسنده
چکیده
Acollagenase inhibitor was identified in the culture medium of mouse calvaria after separation from mouse bone collagenase by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration equilibrated with 6M urea in Tris buffer. The simultaneous synthesis of both collagenase and inhibitor by mouse calvaria in tissue culture was consistent with the resuls of our previous study using achick bone culture system and otehr recentstl~dies.

Observations on the mechanism of bone resorption induced by multiple myeloma marrow culture fluids and partially purified osteoclast-activating factor.
Supernatant fluids from the cultures of bone marrow cells from 10 of 12 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) caused bone resorption in organ cultures of fetal rat calvaria. In four patients, the marrow cells were cultured with and without indomethacin (1 muM). The supernatant fluids from indomethacintreated marrow cultures caused significantly less bone resorption than supernatant fluids of cell...
متن کاملMorphology and Ultrastructure of Mouse Polarized Endometrial Epithelial Cell Monolyer in Vitro
Purpose: The objective for this study is to investigate the morphology and ultrastructure of mouse endometrial epithelial cell monolayer cultured on matrigel in dual-chambered system as an in vitro mouse endometrial epithelial cell culture model that mimics structural and functional properties of the endometrial epithelium in vivo. Materials and Methods: Mouse endometrial epithelial cells were...
متن کاملDirect extraction and assay of bone tissue collagenase and its relation to parathyroid-hormone-induced bone resorption.
A method has been developed for the quantitative extraction of collagenase from as little as one 19-day-fetal-mouse calvarium. About 20-40 munits of collagenase are extracted per mg of tissue, all in a latent form that, after proper activation, shows the typical properties of mammalian collagenase. Culturing the calvaria for 2 days with parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases their procollagenase c...
متن کاملOsteoblasts isolated from mouse calvaria initiate matrix mineralization in culture
A method is presented for isolating osteoblasts from newborn mouse calvaria without the use of digestive enzymes. The procedure is based on the ability of osteoblasts to migrate from bone onto small glass fragments (Jones, S.J., and A. Boyde, 1977, Cell Tissue Res., 184:179-193). The isolated cells were cultured for up to 14 d in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal ca...
متن کاملHuman alveolar macrophages produce a fibroblast-like collagenase and collagenase inhibitor.
Human macrophages have been implicated in connective tissue remodeling; however, little is known about their direct effects upon collagen degradation. We now report that human alveolar macrophages in culture produced both a collagenase and a collagenase inhibitor. The collagenase was secreted in latent form and could be activated by exposure to trypsin. Collagenase production could be increased...
