Cholesterol Requirement of Primary Diploid Human Fibroblasts
Primary cultures of fibroblast-like cells were obtained from skin and articular cartilage of human donors in the age bracket of 1 to 15 years. For growth these cultures required 1 mg/liter of cholesterol added to Medium A2 plus acetyl choline, Na pyruvate, and D-galactosamine HCl (APG) containing 10% lipoprotein-free human serum. Established cell lines did not require cholesterol for growth. Ea...
متن کاملSenescent human diploid fibroblasts
The characteristic limited reproductive life-span of normal human fibroblasts in culture is due to a steadily decreasing fraction of cells able to proliferate in the standard rich growth media. We have observed that restricting the growth factor supply to old cells for variable lengths of time in culture increases the fraction of cells that can enter S-phase; although these cells do not go on t...
متن کاملMetabolism of ceramide-containing endocytotic vesicles in human diploid fibroblasts.
Two isoenzymes of ceramidase, including lysosomal acid ceramidase and nonlysosomal alkaline ceramidase, catalyze the degradation of ceramide in cultured human skin fibroblasts. A genetically determined disorder of sphingolipid metabolism (Farber's-disease) is characterized by the deficiency of acid ceramidase and by the pathological accumulation of ceramide. In this report, we take advantage of...
متن کاملDegradation of proteins microinjected into IMR-90 human diploid fibroblasts
Erythrocyte ghosts loaded with 125I-labeled proteins were fused with confluent monolayers of IMR-90 fibroblasts using polyethylene glycol. Erythrocyte-mediated microinjection of 125I-proteins did not seriously perturb the metabolism of the recipient fibroblasts as assessed by measurements of rates of protein synthesis, rates of protein degradation, or rates of cellular growth after addition of ...
متن کاملDiaminopurine-resistant mutants of cultured, diploid human fibroblasts.
Clones of cells resistant to 2,6-diaminopurine were detected in skin fibroblast cultures derived from 13 of 21 normal humans of both sexes from 17 unrelated families. Almost all of the cultures that yielded mutants were chosen for further study from among a total of 83 surveyed because they displayed a slight resistance to low concentrations of diaminopurine. The incidences of mutant colonies r...
