Development of an ultrasensitive in vitro assay to monitor growth of primary cell cultures with reduced mitotic activity.

Abstract:

:Primary cell cultures, such as isolated epithelial cells, neuronal cells, or hepatocytes are characterized by a very low mitotic activity. Monitoring of small changes in cell numbers requires staining with a DNA-specific dye with an extremely high sensitivity and a low inter- and intraassay variability. For this purpose, an ultrasensitive in vitro assay has been developed based on the fluorescent nucleic acid stain PicoGreen. PicoGreen has been shown to detect as little as 0.5 ng pure DNA or 10(2) cells (interassay SD < 10%, intraassay SD < 5%). This is far above the limit of sensitivity of conventional fluorochromes, such as Hoechst 33342 or propidium iodide. To obtain optimum efficacy of PicoGreen, cells were digested with papain for 20 h at 60 degrees C prior to staining. Under these conditions, the slope factor was calculated to be 0.105 relative fluorescence units (RFU)/cell, which is far superior to the slope factor of Hoechst 33342 (0.0137 RFU/cell) or propidium iodide (0.0077 RFU/cell). Analysis of the blank values revealed a very low autofluorescence of PicoGreen, which is only 1/50th of the autofluorescence of Hoechst 33342 and 1/5th of the autofluorescence of propidium iodide. Additional coating of the culture plates with extracellular matrix proteins to prevent cellular dedifferentiation did not influence the high sensitivity of PicoGreen. In conclusion, the PicoGreen-assay seems to be the method of choice when the growth capacity of primary cell cultures needs to be analyzed with high accuracy.
