(Celastraceae) in SH media were established from the calli induced from the leaves and young steins of M. hookeri on MS media with the supplement of 2 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L KIN (kinetin). Ethyl acetate extract of the cultures showed inhibitory activities against Penicillium avellaneum UC-4376 which was sensitive to maytansinoids. Exhaustive isolation of natural products from a large scale of suspension cell cultures did not yield maytansine instead of affording nine compounds including one novel triterpenoid, named 2, 3-diacetoxyl maytenusone (1), and eight known ones including squalene (2), beta-sitosterol (3), 2', 3', 4-triacetyl-sitoindoside I (4), salaspermic acid (5), maytenonic acid (6), 2alpha-hydroxy-maytenonic acid (7), 6, 11,12-trihydroxy-8, 11, 13-abietrien-7-one (8) and 11, 12-dihydroxy-8, 11, 13-abietatrien-7-one (9) elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR data. The H-1-NMR and C-13-NMR assignments were made for 1, 5, 6 and 7, while the C-13-NMR assignments for 5 and 6 were revised. The chemical results suggested that the suspension cell cultures of M. hookeri did not produce maytansinoids under the reported experiment conditions.展开更多

G. Don. The investigation involved the cell growth, ajmalicine production and enzyme activity related to indole alkaloid biosynthesis in both cell lines. These results indicated that C_ 20hi cells grew faster than C_ 20D cells, and average ajmalicine content in C_ 20hi cells was 18.4 times more than that in C_ 20D when cultured in the production medium. In the growth medium, average ajmalicine content in C_ 20hi cells was 31.9 times more than that in C_ 20D cells, while the cell growth has no obvious difference. The comparison of enzyme activities in C_ 20hi and C_ 20D cells indicated that tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), strictosidine synthase (SSS) and geraniol_10_dehydrogenase (G10H) activities have no close relation to ajmalicine accumulation, although the activities of these enzymes were higher when cells were cultured in the production medium than in the growth medium. The C_ 20hi cells are relatively stable in five years of culture.展开更多

Fu keeps a high taxol_producing level after successive subcultures for more than eight years. In this study, eight taxanes were isolated from the suspension cell cultures of this cell line. Based on NMR and MS analyses, and comparison with literature data and standards, their structures were determined to be 2α,5α,10β_triacetoxy_14β_propionyloxy_4(20),11_taxadiene (1), 2α,5α,10β_triacetoxy_14β_(2′_methyl)_butyryloxy_4(20),11_taxadiene (2), 2α,5α,10β_14β_tetra_acetoxy_4 (20),11_taxadiene (3, taxuyunnanine C), 2α,5α,10β_triacetoxy_14β_(2′_methyl_3′_hydroxy)_butyryloxy_4(20),11_taxadiene (4, yunnanxane) and its 3′_epimer (5), baccatin Ⅳ (6), baccatin Ⅲ (7) and taxol (8), respectively. Among those compounds, 3, 5, 6 and 7 were reported to be isolated from the suspension cell cultures of T. yunnanensis for the first time. TLC and HPLC analyses indicated that the chemical constituents of the culture solution were similar to those of cultured cells. Moreover, the highest taxol content of this cell line reached 0.3% and the cell line could be applied for a large_scale culture.展开更多

[Method] Using orthogonal design, appropriate media were screened for callus induction, subculture and cell suspension culture. [Result] The appropriate medium for callus induction was MS supplemented with 0.2 mg/L 6-BA and 0.2 mg/L NAA; the appropriate subculture medium was MS supplemented with0.2 mg/L 6-BA, 0.2 mg/L NAA, and 0.1 mg/L KT; the suitable medium for cell suspension culture was liquid MS medium supplemented with 0.4 mg/L NAA and 0.2mg/L. Cell growth curve was similar to "S" shape in the above suspension medium.The cell growth included four phases, the initial phase(1-3 d), the logarithmic phase(3-7 d), the steady phase(7-8 d), and the decline phase(8-11 d). With the increasing culture time, the number of suspension cells increased, and it reached the maximum value at the 7thd, about 3.8 ×105cells/ml. Then the number of cells began to decline rapidly. The cell vigor was the highest at the initial phase. Suspension cells grew best in the liquid MS medium supplemented with NAA(0.4 mg/L)and 6-BA(0.2 mg/L). The mitotic index reached the maximum, about 4.1% in the above medium, which suggested that this medium was suitable for cell suspension culture of eggplant. [Conclusion] Cell suspension culture system of eggplant provides a significant method for eggplant biotechnology. Genetic transformation and mutants screening can be carried out with this system.展开更多

The structures of the tubular networks were observed under a phase contrast microscope and an electron microscope.Results: Observation under light microscopy and electron microscopy showed that high aggressive osteosarcoma cells line (U-2OS) formed networks containing channels when grown in three-dimensional culture containing type I collagen in the absence of endothelial cells or fibroblasts.Conclusion: These observations strongly suggest that aggressive osteosarcoma cells may generate vascular channels that facilitate tumor perfusion independent of tumor angiogenesis and have the ability of vasculogenic mimicry. Key words osteosarcoma cells line - vasculogenesis mimicry - angiogenesis - 3-dimensional cultures This study was supported in part by the National Natural Sciences Foundation of China (No. 30271314).展开更多

[Method] T. cuspidata callus was used as experimental materials, to explore the effect of different medium, N/P ratio, pH, shaking speed, illumination time and light intensity and other factors on browning of T. cuspidata cells in suspension culture. [Result] Non-browning callus was transferred to 2MB5 medium (pH 7.0) for illumination culture at 22℃ under light intensity of 1 500 lx with shaking speed of 90 r/min for 24 h. Results showed that the cell browning was significantly inhibited. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for cell suspension culture of T. cuspidata and had important significance to the large-scale industrial production of paclitaxel.展开更多

Methods:...Objective: To study the proliferation, migration and metaplasm of residual rabbit lens epithelial cells (LECs) after extracapsular cataract extraction(ECCE)based on the rabbit capsular bag model in vitro. Methods: Sham cataract surgery, including anterior capsulorhexis, nucleus hydroexpression and aspiration of lens fibers, was performed on 20 rabbit lens. The capsular bags were isolated and pinned to sterile non-toxic silicone rings on petri dishes. The capsular bags were incubated with Eagle's minimum essential medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and monitored for 3 weeks by phase-contrast microscopy, after which light microscopy was performed on them.Results: After a latent period of 2-3 d, outgrowth was observed across the posterior capsule. Growth proceeded rapidly so that the posterior capsule was totally covered by a confluent monolayer of cell at 6-8 day. Capsular wrinkles became increasingly apparent as time progressed, causing a marked rise in light scatter. An increase in capsular tension also came.Conclusion: This model exhibits many of the in vito characteristics of the lens capsule after extracapsular surgery and may prove useful in further elucidating the cellular mechanisms of posterior capsule opacification and developing strategies for inhibiting cell growth with this system.展开更多

[ Method] In vitro, bovine mammary epithelial cells were isolated and cultured by the tissue explant method in order to investigate the optimal culture conditions. The morphology observation and identification of the cultured cells were performed by inverted microscope observation, Giemsa staining and cytokeratin immunohistochemistry. [ Result] Observed with inverted microscope, most of the bovine mammary epithelial cells were polygonal and displayed typical slabstone-like appearance. As it can be seen from cell staining results, the cell body was big and the nucleus was stained dark blue and was round or oval in shape, with clearly visible nucleoli, generally 2 -4 nucleoli. The tissue-specific expression of cytokeratin 14 and cytokeratin 18 genes in mammary epithelial cells was identified by cytokeratin immunohistochemistry. [ Conclusion] Primary bovine mammary epithelial cells were successfully cultured in biochemical incubator.展开更多
