In vitro differentiation capacity of telomerase immortalized human RPE cells.
PURPOSE To investigate conditions promoting the differentiation of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and assess the differentiation potential of telomerase-immortalized RPE cells. METHODS Serially passaged RPE 340 (parental) cells have limited replicative ability and senesce after 50 to 60 population doublings (PD)s. RPE 340 cells transfected with the catalytic component o...
متن کاملNeoplastic transformation of immortalized human epidermal keratinocytes by ionizing radiation.
Efforts to investigate the progression of events that cause human cells to become neoplastic in response to ionizing radiation have been aided by the development of tissue culture systems of epithelial cells. In the present study, nontumorigenic human epidermal keratinocytes immortalized by adenovirus type 12 and simian virus 40 have been transformed by exposure to x-ray irradiation. Such trans...
متن کاملSpontaneous immortalization of human epidermal cells with naturally elevated telomerase.
This work explores spontaneous immortalization in keratinocytes, derived from two skin samples, that display naturally elevated telomerase activity. Serially passaged with 3T3 feeder layer support, the keratinocytes were examined for colony-forming ability, telomerase activity, telomere length, and finally gene expression using Affymetrix DNA microarrays. The cells initially exhibited normal ka...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of tumors with human telomerase reverse transcriptase immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) have been proven to be effective in tumor anti-angiogenesis but the mechanism remained to be further demonstrated. The restricted ability of HUVECs to proliferate in vitro also limits their application on a large scale. In the present study, we immortalized HUVECs with hTERT genes by lentiviral infection and explored the antitumor immunity of hTERT-exp...
