Effect of substrata and fibroblast growth factor on the proliferation in vitro of bovine aortic endothelial cells.

Abstract：

:The hypothesis that, in the case of clonal or low-density cultures, cells which do not readily proliferate are those that do not produce an extracellular matrix (ECM), while those that proliferate actively are cells that have retained their ability to produce it, has been tested using low-density vascular endothelial cell cultures maintained on either plastic or ECM-coated dishes and exposed to various combinations of media and sera. Proliferation of low-density vascular endothelial cell cultures seeded on plastic and exposed to DMEM, RPMI-1640, or medium 199 plus thymidine is a function of the batch of calf serum used to supplement the various media. In all three cases, such cultures proliferated at a slow rate and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) greatly accelerated their proliferation. In contrast, when similar cultures were seeded on ECM-coated dishes, they actively proliferated regardless of the batch of calf serum to which they were exposed. FGF was no longer required in order for cultures to become confluent. In the case of cultures exposed to RPMI-1640 or medium 199 plus thymidine, it was even toxic. When cultures were exposed to either medium 199 or Waymouth medium, cells did not proliferate, regardless of the substrate (either plastic or ECM) upon which they were maintained and of the batch of serum to which they were exposed. Addition of FGF to such media had no effect. It is therefore likely that nutrient limitations in both of these media restrict the ability of low-density vascular endothelial cells to respond to the mitogenic stimuli provided by either serum or FGF. These restrictions cannot be relieved by maintaining cells on ECM-coated dishes, and modifications of the nutrient composition of both media is required in order to allow cells to respond to either FGF or serum when maintained on plastic or to serum alone when maintained on ECM. These results suggest that, when low-density cell cultures are maintained on plastic and exposed to an adequate medium, their proliferation will be a function of both serum and FGF. When maintained on ECM, their proliferation will depend only on serum. It is therefore possible that the inability of serum to stimulate optimal cell proliferation when cells are maintained on plastic results from an inability of the cells to produce an ECM, and that FGF could induce such production.
