Establishment of an immortalized mouse dermal papilla cell strain with optimized culture strategy

چکیده
Dermal papilla (DP) plays important roles in hair follicle regeneration. Long-term culture of mouse DP cells can provide enough cells for research and application of DP cells. We optimized the culture strategy for DP cells from three dimensions: stepwise dissection, collagen I coating, and optimized culture medium. Based on the optimized culture strategy, we immortalized primary DP cells with SV40 large T antigen, and established several immortalized DP cell strains. By comparing molecular expression and morphologic characteristics with primary DP cells, we found one cell strain named iDP6 was similar with primary DP cells. Further identifications illustrate that iDP6 expresses FGF7 and α-SMA, and has activity of alkaline phosphatase. During the process of characterization of immortalized DP cell strains, we also found that cells in DP were heterogeneous. We successfully optimized culture strategy for DP cells, and established an immortalized DP cell strain suitable for research and application of DP cells.

Transfection of rat dermal papilla cells with a gene encoding a temperature-sensitive polyomavirus large T antigen generates cell lines retaining a differentiated phenotype.
The dermal papilla is a discrete group of cells at the base of the hair follicle and is implicated in controlling the hair growth cycle. Early passage dermal papilla cells can induce hair growth in vivo, but, upon further culturing, this property is lost. In order to study the events occurring in hair induction, a representative dermal papilla cell line was required. We have transfected passage...
متن کاملEffects of Mouse Strain on Establishment of Embryonic Stem Cell Lines
Purpose: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are derived from the inner cell mass of blastocysts with self-renewal and pluripotency characteristics. These cells have potential for studies of in vitro differentiation, gene function, etc. This study was, therefore, initiated to establish new ES lines and evaluate the effects of strain on ES cell production. Materials and Methods: 3-5 day blastocysts were ...

BACKGROUND/AIM The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-like compound derived from Pantoea agglomerans (immunopotentiator from Pantoea agglomerans 1 (IP-PA1)) has been used not only as dietary supplement or cosmetic for humans, but also by Japanese veterinarians as an anti-tumor, anti-allergy, "keep a fine coat of fur" and hair growth-promoting functional food for dogs and cats. In the present study, we fo...
متن کاملMethods for the isolation and 3D culture of dermal papilla cells from human hair follicles
The dermal papilla is a cluster of mesenchymal cells located at the base of the hair follicle which have a number of important roles in the regulation of hair growth. As a consequence, in vitro models of these cells are widely used to study the molecular mechanisms which underlie hair follicle induction, growth and maintenance. While dermal papilla from rodent hair follicles can be digested pri...
متن کاملVibrissa dermal papilla cell aggregative behaviour in vivo and in vitro.
Parallel cultures of adult rat vibrissa dermal papilla cells and skin fibroblasts revealed differences between the two cell types with respect to a number of criteria. In particular the dermal papilla cells demonstrated a distinctive single cell morphology, and at confluence formed cell aggregates radically different from regular fibroblast multilayering and patterning. This finding confirmed r...
