Proliferative characteristics of clonal endothelial cell strains

Abstract

We have utilized clonal strains of bovine fetal aortic endothelial cells to study cellular senescence in a differentiated cell type of physiological significance. Serial subcultivation of nine endothelial clones derived from three fetal calf aortas revealed proliferative life-spans in vitro of 53--125 population doublings (PDs), compared with 60 and 143 PDs for two lines of bovine fetal lung cells and 85 and 147 PDs for two lines of bovine vascular smooth muscle cells. Serial growth curves showed marked reductions associated with endothelial cellular senescence both in cellular growth rate and culture plateau density. Studies of the 24-hour [3H]-thymidine labeling index versus percentage of proliferative life-span completed indicated that clonal endothelial cultures contained a large proportion (greater than 90%) of rapidly cycling cells until about 75% of the lifespans were completed. Senescent endothelial cells showed evidence of large increases in cell area, cell volume, and protein content. In those clones examined, one specialized endothelial function, Factor VIII antigen expression, was retained qualitatively throughout the life-spans.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
