Use of commercially available cell culture inserts for primary culture and electrophysiologic studies of guinea pig gastric mucous epithelial cells

Summary The adherence, growth, and electrophysiologic properties of guinea pig gastric mucous epithelial cells were investigated using porous membrane filters. We also tested three commercially available Ussing-type chambers that were designed to be used with the various porous membrane supports. Overall, the 0.45-µm Falcon-Cyclopore porous membrane was found to be very favorable for the consistent attachment and growth of our cells. This same filter also gave good results in the detection of periodic acid Schiff-positive mucous glycoprotein and Nile red neutral lipid fluorescence in the gastric mucous cells. Our cells grew poorly on collagen-coated Costar-Snapwells and Millipore Millicell-CM porous filters. For measurement of transepithelial potential difference resistance, and short-circuit current, the Costar-Snapwell with the Costar-Snapwell Diffusion-chamber system was superior in design and operation when compared to the Costar Transwell-COL, Falcon-Cyclopore, or Anotec-Anocell porous inserts used with conventional Ussing-chambers. The gastric mucous cells grew best on ICN-Cellagen membranes, but these filters routinely detached from their plastic holder and therefore could not be used for Ussing-chamber studies. The large 24.5-mm, 0.40-µm pore size Costar-Transwell-COL and the 24.1-mm, 0.45-µm Falcon-Cyclopore membranes gave good results when used in a modified horizontal-chamber for microelectrode analysis of membrane potentials and resistances of the gastric mucous cell monolayers.     

硫酸多糖对体外人脐静脉内皮细胞损伤的保护作用

研究表明,硫酸多糖体外对多聚阳离子和氧自由基损伤的人脐静脉内皮细胞有保护作用。肝素、硫酸软骨素A抗多聚阳离子损伤作用比同浓度低分子肝素和甘糖酯强。肝素、硫酸软骨素A、甘糖酯抗氧自由基损伤作用优于同浓度低分子肝素。结果显示硫酸多糖有保护血管内皮的作用,其作用可能与所带阴离子基团有关。

RENIN SECRETION FROM MALIGNANT PULMONARY METASTATIC TUMOUR CELLS OF VASCULAR ORIGIN

1. A pulmonary chemodectoma/glomangiosarcoma that had metastasized from the thigh was studied after removal from a 22 year old Algerian patient with hypertension, high plasma prorenin and signs of secondary aldosteronism. 2. Renin and renin mRNA were localized in sections of the tumour tissue using monoclonal anti-human renin antibody and human renin cDNA probe, respectively. 3. The cells grew prolifically in culture, but, even though their renin content was similar to that of transfected human juxtaglomerular cell tumour cells (approximately 1 pg/microgram DNA), their rate of secretion of renin was much lower (0.05-0.15 cf. 0.5-1.5 pg/h per microgram DNA). 4. Forskolin (10 mumol/l for 24 h) increased secretion of renin from 1.9 +/- 0.36 to 4.1 +/- 0.64 pg/ml per h of culture (P less than 0.001, n = 11), consistent with cAMP being a second messenger in the secretory mechanism. 5. The cells should provide valuable information about intracellular mechanisms for the regulation of renin synthesis and secretion.
