Ability of various inserts to promote endothelium cell culture for the establishment of coculture models.

Abstract:

:To select an insert suitable for human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) culture, we compared several available inserts of 0.2 to 0.45 micron porosity: Cellagen (ICN), Transwell-COL (Costar), Millicell-HA and CM (Millipore), Anopore (Nunc), Cyclopore (Falcon) in comparison with a control surface (Thermanox). The requirements were: (i) to promote attachment, adhesion and proliferation of HUVEC (judged by [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA at days 1, 3, 7); (ii) to allow HUVEC visualization by inverted, fluorescence microscopy for uptake of DiI-Ac-LDL and scanning electron microscopy, performed at day 9 after seeding. Because Transwell and Cellagen are collagen precoated and CM has to be coated for cell culture, we performed collagen coating (types I + III or IV) for non-pretreated inserts for the purpose of comparison. Our preferences comprise Transwell-COL, Cyclopore not coated or coated (whatever the collagen type), and Cellagen. However, on a quality/price ratio criterion, Cyclopore, even uncoated, is the insert of choice. The HA, CM and Anopore inserts, even coated, do not allow HUVEC growth but do not alter positive uptake of acetylated LDL.
