Establishment and characterization of a cytotrophoblast cell line from normal placenta of human origin

A cell line has been established from human placentae at thefirst trimester of normal pregnancy. The cell line was obtainedby culture of purified cytotrophoblast cells in serum-free mediumsupplemented with epidermal growth factor, insulin, dexamethasoneand 0.1% bovine serum albumin. The cells can be subculturedfor >30 passages in one to three splits. All the cells weremononuclear epithelial-like cells positive to cytokeratin 18,gonadotrophin-releasing . hormone (GnRH), neuropeptide Y, neurotensin,leucine-enkephalin, dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine inununo-cytochemicalstaining. The cells secreted GnRH, progesterone and oestradiol(in the presence of testosterone) but little human chorionicgonadotrophin and no -endorphin. The cell line showed humankaryotypes and had a population doubling time of 48 h in serum-freemedium. However, the cells would stop growing in the mediumcontaining fetal bovine serum. A normal cytotrophoblast cellline established in serum-free medium will be particularly usefulin the study of cytotrophoblast cell proliferation and differentiation.

Cloning and characterization of a blood coagulation factor IX-binding protein from the venom of Trimeresurus stejnegeri.

A blood coagulation factor IX-binding protein (TSV-FIX-BP) was isolated from the snake venom of Trimeresurus stejnegeri. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, TSV-FIX-BP showed a single band with an apparent molecular weight of 23,000 under non-reducing conditions, and two distinct bands with apparent molecular weights of 14,800 and 14,000 under reducing conditions. cDNA clones containing the coding sequences of TSV-FIX-BP were isolated and sequenced to determine the structure of the precursors of TSV-FIX-BP subunits. The deduced amino acid sequences of two subunits of TSV-FIX-BP were confirmed by N-terminal protein sequencing and trypsin-digested peptide mass fingerprinting. TSV-FIX-BP was a non-enzymatic C-type lectin-like anti-coagulant. The anti-coagulant activity of TSV-FIX-BP was mainly caused by its dose dependent interaction with blood coagulation factor IX but not with blood coagulation factor X.     

Inhibition of Amiodarone‐Induced Lung Fibrosis but not Alveolitis by Angiotensin System Antagonists

Abstract: Earlier work in this laboratory showed that amiodarone induces apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells by a mechanism inhibitable by angiotensin system antagonists. A variety of recent studies suggests a critical role for alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. On this basis we hypothesized that amiodarone‐induced alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis and lung fibrosis in vivo might be inhibitable by the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril or the angiotensin receptor antagonist losartan. Amiodarone‐induced lung fibrosis was induced in male Wistar rats by oral adminstration over six months. Replicate groups of rats received captopril or losartan in addition to amiodarone. Apoptosis was detected by increased total lung activity of caspase 3 and in situ end labeling (ISEL) of fragmented DNA. Collagen was localized and quantitated by the picrosirius red technique. Alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis was detected in amiodarone‐treated animals as early as three weeks after the start of amiodarone administration; by six months exposure, the incidence of alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis was significantly reduced by coadministration of captopril or losartan. Alveolar wall collagen accumulation also was significantly attenuated by captopril (100%) or losartan (74%), but neither agent blunted the accumulation of alveolar macrophages evoked by amiodarone (5.3‐fold at 6 months). Lung neutrophil content was unchanged by amiodarone treatment for three weeks or six months. These results indicate that amiodarone induces alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis in vivo that is inhibitable by angiotensin antagonists. They also support the hypothesis that blockade of angiotensin formation or function attenuates amiodarone‐induced lung fibrosis irrespective of the severity of alveolitis.
