Cell and tissue culture

1. Cell and tissue culture

2. Cell culture = propagation of cells outside the organism = in vitro (Cells in the organism = in vivo) ADVANTAGES: • cellular environment can be manipulated • well definedcell type • large quantities of cells can be obtained • many cellular functions can be investigated • animal experiments can be replaced • living cells can be tested • human cells can be tested DISADVANTAGES: • does not mimic the complexity of the human body • spontanous evolution

3. TYPES OF CULTURED CELLS: • primary culture • cell line • finite • continuous • cell strain

4. 1 day spinal cord explant + lymphatic fluid axons grow in culture! Primary culture • Cells derived directly from tissues • A culture from the time of isolation until its first subculture First developed in 1907:

5. cultured neuron extending processes

6. Cell line • Derived from primary culture via subcultivation (passage) dissociate cells medium plate cells tissue explant cells dish • Grow and divide while adhering (monolayer) to plastic dishes • Require growth factor for growth • Passaging: after physical or enzymatic dissociation of monolayer cultures the cells are reseeded in lower density

7. Cell lineFinite cell line • Finite lifespan • A cell line that survives for a fixed number of population doublings, usually ~40–60 (Hayflick limit), before senescing and ceasing proliferation.

8. Cell lineContinuous cell line Features: • Immortal (indefinite lifespan, over 100 population doublings) • Genetic abnormalities accumulate (transformed cells) • Unlimited growth • Loss of contact inhibition • Loss of adherence dependency (suspension) • injected in mice may form tumor Transformation can be spontanous or induced by viruses, carcinogens or radiation • May derive: • from finitecell line(in vitro transformation) – e.g. NIH3T3, CHO • fromtumors (in vivo transformation) – e.g. HeLa

9. Cell strain • A subpopulation of cell lines that have been purified by physical separation, selection or cloning • Which hasspecific defined characteristics e.g. marker chromosome, virus resistance, antigen expression

10. normal cells SEM transformed cells

11. Cell cultures can be obtained e.g. from cell banks where these cultures are kept frozen (-196 °C in liquid nitrogen)

12. Density of the cultureinfluencesthecellshape

13. Density of the culture influences the cell shape

14. Requirements of cell cultures Physical parameters • Temperature • O2/CO2. • humidity Biological parameters • ASEPTIC conditions • Cell density • Co-culture • Metabolites • Feeder cell layer Chemical parameters • defined medium • serum (growth factors, hormones) • coat on culture surface (collagen, gelatine) • pH • osmolarity

15. Laminar box (laminar flow cabinet) is a carefully enclosed bench designed to prevent contamination of biological samples or any particle sensitive materials.

16. CO2 Incubator The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside.

20. myeloma cells HeLa 53 MONOLAYER CELL CULTURE Adherent cells, they need surface for proliferation. These are normal cells except hematopoetic cells. Tumor cells may grow in monolayer, too. SUSPENSION CELL CULTURE Non-adherent, floating, generally hemopatopoetic or transformed, tumor cells, they do not need special surface for proliferation.

23. ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS • Infections (viruses, bacteria, parasites) • Toxicology • Immunology • Carcinogenesis • Biotransformation of xenobiotics GENETICS • Transformation • Cell fusion • Cell cycle BIOCHEMISTRY • DNA transcription • RNA metabolism • Protein synthesis • Intermediate metabolism BIOTECHNOLOGY/ TISSUE ENGINEERING • Cytokines/growth factors, hormones, antibody production • Arteficial tissues CELL BIOLOGY • Cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions • Gene expression • Cell proliferation • Differentiation • Cell migration, invasion
