چکیده

Continuous cell lines, SK-N-SH and SK-N-MC, were established in cell culture from human metastatic neuro blastoma tissue and maintained in vitro for 1 to 2 years. SK-N-SH comprises two morphologically distinctive cell types, a small spiny cell and a large epithelioid cell. SKN-MC is composed of small fibroblast-like cells with scant cytoplasm. In monolayer culture both cell lines form dis oriented growth patterns and reach high saturation den sities. Population-doubling times were 44 and 32 hr for SK-N-SH and SK-N-MC, respectively. Inoculum levels of IO7cells of both lines produced tumors confirmed by histo-

Tumorigenicity of Esophageal Cancer Stem Cells (ECSCs) in nude mouse xenograft model

Background and objectives: Modeling cancer in vivo is a very important tool to investigate cancer pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved in cancer progression. Laboratory mice are the most common animal used for rebuilding human cancer in vivo. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the main reason of failure in cancer therapy because of tumor relapse and metastasis. Isolation of cancer stem cell...

FAK is a Critical Regulator of Neuroblastoma Liver Metastasis

Neuroblastomas express increased levels of gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R). However, the exact molecular mechanisms involved in GRP-R-mediated cell signaling in neuroblastoma growth and metastasis are unknown. Here, we report that focal adhesion kinase (FAK), as a critical downstream target of GRP-R, is an important regulator of neuroblastoma tumorigenicity. We found that FAK express...

P-76: Stepwise Reduction of Fetal Bovine Serum Levels in Chinese Hamster OvaryCells -Expressing Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin- Culture

Background: The demand for producing recombinant therapeutic proteins by mammalian cell lines, such as Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, continues to grow. Significant achievements in process optimization including development of cell culture strategies for largescale and cost-effective production have been made. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is an often essential growth supplement and yet most cos...

Semi-Continuous Cultivation of Photosynthetic Cells in a Flat Plate Photobioreactor

From an engineering point of view, the effect of light intensity distribution on the stability of growth rate should be taken into account in designing effective photobioreactors and sustaining stable growth rates. In the experiments described here, in order to keep operational parameters at an almost constant level, a semi-continuous culture method was developed for cultivation of photosynthet...
