As an effort to direct differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hES, MB03) to dopamine-producing neuronal cells, we expressed Nurr-l in hES and examined the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) after bFGF induction. To introduce Nurr-l, hES cells were maintained in humidified chamber with 5% CO₂ and 95% air in DMEM/Fl2 supplemented with FBS (10%), penicillin (100U/㎖), and streptomycin (100㎍/㎖). (omitted)

A serum-free media for CRIP/MFG-LacZ retrovirus production was developed and applied to continuous packed-bed culture system. The serum-free media developed by fractional factorial design contains indulin ($10\mug/mL$), transferrin ($5\mug/mL$), BSA (4 mg/mL), EGF (25 ng/mL), and linoleic acid ($10\mug/mL$). Operation of continuous packed-bed reactor using Fibra-cel enabled the packging cell to stably maintain retrovirus titer for about 1 week. The optimal operation conditions for dilution rate and temperature were 0.67(h(sup)-1) and $32^{circ}C$, respectively. Using this media, the retrovirus titer(cfu/mL) in the packed continuous culture was about 50% that of continuous culture with serum containing DMEM media.

Attenuated varicella-zoster virus (VZV) was propagated in human lung fibroblast (HLF) cells Among media tested in this work, DMEM was the best medium for the growth of HLF cells. Because HLF was a normal finite cell line, cell growth late was dependent on the age of HLF cells. When the population doubling level (PDL) was higher than 46, apoptosis of HLF cells started and cell growth rate decreased. The optimum temperature for the cell growth and virus propagation in the T-flask culture was $37^{\circ}C$. In a microcarrier culture system in which Cytodex-3 was used for the VZV propagation in spinner vessels, the yield of plaque forming cells was lower than that in the T-flask culture. The relatively high shear environment near microcarriers was thought to cause the low yield of VZV in the microcarrier culture system.

원시생식세포(primordial germ cell; PGC)는 성성숙 이후에 기능을 갖는 생식세포의 근원이 되는 세포로서, 다능성을 갖고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 chimera 및 유전자 변환동물 생산을 위해 널리 사용되어 온 배아주(embrynic stem; ES)세포를 대신할 다른 세포계라고 생각되어져 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 실험은 체외배양을 통하여 원시생식세포의 증식과 확립을 위해 배양조건을 구명하고, 또한 성장인자의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 실시되었다. 원시생식세포는 12.5일째의 ICR 생쥐태아의 원시생식선 융기조직으로부터 추출하였으며, DMEM + 20% FCS + nucleosides + antibiotics로 조성된 sDMEM 배양액을 사용하여 mitomycin C로 전처리한 되먹임세포단층(feeder layer)위에서 체외배양하였다. bFGF 및 LIF를 20, 40ng/ml농도로 각각 또는 함께 첨가하여 성장인자의 효과를 검토하였다. 원시생식세포는 성에 따라 유의적인 colony 형성율을 보였고(♂:1.9 colonies / genital ridge, ♀:1.3 colonies / genital ridge), bFGF 및 LIF의 첨가 및 첨가농도에 따라서도 유의성 있는 결과를 보였다(0.3~1.9 colonies / genital riege). 그러나 3회 이상 계대배양을 할 경우, 원시생식세포의 colony를 4% prarformaldehyde로 20분간 고정한 후, tris-maleate buffer(pH 9.0)로 10분간 3회 세정하였다. Fast Red로 염색을 실시한 결과, 대부분의 colony가 염색반응을 보여 다능성을 갖는 원시생식세포의 colony임이 입증되었다. 그러나 대부분의 colony가 3회 이상의 계대배양시 생종율이 급격히 떨어지는 것을 감안하면, 또 다른 미지의 성장인자나 보다 적절한 배양조건이 요구된다고 생각된다.

Fibroblasts of large animals are easy to isolate and to maintain in vitro culture. Thus, these cells are extensively applied to donor cell for somatic cell nuclear transfer, and to substrate cells to generate induced pluripotent stem cells after transfection of requited genes to be essentially required for direct reprogramming. However, limited mitotic activity of fibroblasts to differentiate along a terminal lineage becomes restrictive for their versatile application. Recently, commercial culture medium and systems developed for primary cells are provided by manufactures. In this study, we examined whether one of the systems developed for primary fibroblasts of human are effective on porcine ear skin fibroblasts. To this end, we performed proliferation assay after five days culture in vitro of porcine fibroblasts in medium DMEM, which is generally used for fibroblasts culture, and medium M106 for human dermal fibroblasts, supplemented with various concentrations of FBS and LSGS contained mainly growth factors, respectively. Consequence was that presence of 15% FBS and 0.1 ${\times}$ concentrations of LSGS in DMEM showed most active proliferation of porcine fibroblasts.

This study was carried out to establish the in vitro short-term culture system of developing male germ cells by purifing germ cells of various stages. The decapulated testicular cells were incubated with collagenase (lmg/ml) and try psin (2.5mg/ml) in HBSS. After separating male germ cell, the separated germ cells were stained with heamatoxylin/eosin and determined developing stages under light microscopy. The purity of pachtene spermatocytes a and round spermatid were 85%, respectively. Yield of total male germ cells was highly variable between individuals, with a mean value of 3.5 to 4.5 ${\times}$ 10$^7$ cells/testis. Viability of the cell was over 97% after separation. In DMEM medium, the optimal cell number for culture is approximately 1 x 10$^5$ cells/dish, but low cell den-sities than 1 ${\times}$ 10$^5$ cell/dish showed a decreased cell viability. Furthermore, about :36.8% of pac-hytene cells was successfully cultured for 6 days and some of cells were developed to secondary spermatids and round spermatids. Therefore, our data suggested that this culture conditions will be utilize as a feasible tools to produce tran-sgenic livestock using techniques such as intrac-ytoplasmic injection and cell fusion.

전기자극은 핵이식 시 수핵난자와 공여핵의 융합을 위해 보편적으로 사용되는 방법이다(Robl, 1999). 그러나 부적절한 전기자극은 수핵난자 세포질에 해를 입히고, 이후의 배발달에 좋지 않은 영향을 준다. 본 실험은 체세포 핵이식을 \circled1 1.9㎸/cm, 20$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회, \circled22.0㎸/cm, 20$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회, \circled32.2㎸/cm, 10$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회, 및 \circled41.9㎸/cm, 30$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회의 전기자극으로 융합을 실시하여 각 자극 별 융합율과 난자의 lysis율을 비교하고, 배양 후 배반포 발생율을 조사하였다. 공여핵은 칡소의 귀 세포를 10% FBS가 첨가된 DMEM에서 39$^{\circ}C$, 5%$CO_2$의 incubator에서 배양하여 monolayer confluent형성 후 0.5% FBS가 첨가된 DMEM에서 3-4일간 배양 후 trypsin처리하여 제핵된 체외성숙 난자에 핵이식하였다. \circled1,\circled2,\circled3,\circled4의 핵이식 조건을 이용하여 공여핵의 체세포와 수핵란 세포질간의 융합을 유도한 결과, 융합율은 각각 50.7%, 48.1%, 65.5%, 및 33.3%였으며, 수핵난자의 세포질 lysis율은 39.%1, 41.7%, 22.6%,및 52.7%으로 \circled32.2㎸/cm, 10$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회의 조건에서 융합율이 유의적으로 높았고, 수핵난자의 세포질 lysis율에 있어서도 다른 군에 비하여 낮았다 각각의 핵이식 조건별로 융합한 후 난할율 및 배반포 발생율은 각각 65.7%, 73.5%, 77.2%, 및 53.3%과 47.8%, 52.0%, 49.7%, 및 21.8%로 나타나 난할율 및 배반포 발생율에 있어서 융합조건에 따라 큰 차이는 없었으나 1.9㎸/cm, 30$\mu\textrm{s}$ 2회의 조건이 다른 조건들에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다. 따라서, 체세포와 수핵란 세포질간의 융합율과 배반포 발생에 미치는 영향은 전압보다는 시간에 더 크게 받음을 알 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 결과에서 융합시 시간을 오래 주는 것보다 전압을 높이는 것이 수핵난자의 세포질에 상해를 줄이고 이후 배반포 발생에 유리할 것으로 사료되었다.

Osteoblasts from alveolar bone may have an important role in the bone regeneration for periodontium, but their culture and characterization are not determined yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biological characteristics of primary explant cultured osteoblasts(PECO) from alveolar bone. Osteoblasts were isolated and cultured from alveolar socket of extracted tooth in children. To compare the characteristics, osteoblasts and gingival fibroblasts were cultured with DMEM at $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$, l00% humidity incubator, and human fetal osteoblasts cell line(hFOB1) were cultured with DMEM at $34^{\circ}C$, 5%, $CO_2$ 100% humidity incubator. To characterize the isolated bone cells, morphologic change, cell proliferation and differentiation were measured. Morphology of PECO was small round body or cuboidal shape on inverted microscope and was similar with hFOB1. PECO became polygonal shape with stellate and had an amorphous shape at 9th passage in culture. PECO had significantly higher activity than that of gingival fibroblasts and hFOB1 in alkaline phosphatase activity. The expression of osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein in PECO was notably increased when compared with hFOB1 and gingival fibroblasts. These result indicated that PECO from alveolar bone in children has an obvious characteristics of osteoblast, maybe applied for the regeneration of bone.

The present study was conducted to establish primary bovine muscle satellite cell (MSC) culture conditions and to investigate the effects of various steroid hormones on transcription of the genes involved in muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Of three different types of proteases (type II collagenase, pronase and trypsin-EDTA) used to hydrolyze the myogenic satellite cells from muscle tissues, trypsin-EDTA treatment yielded the highest number of cells. The cells separated by hydrolysis with type II collagenase and incubated on gelatin-coated plates showed an enhanced cell attachment onto the culture plate and cell proliferation at an initial stage of cell growth. In this study, the bovine MSCs were maintained in vitro up to passage 16 without revealing any significant morphological change, and even to when the cells died at passage 21 with decreased or almost no cell growth or deformities. When the cells were incubated in a steroid-depleted environment (DMEM(-)/10% CDFBS (charcoal-dextran stripped FBS)), they grew slowly initially, and were widened and deformed. In addition, when the cells were transferred to an incubation medium containing steroid (DMEM(+)/10% FBS), the deformed cells resumed their growth and returned to a normal morphology, suggesting that steroid hormones are crucial in maintaining normal MSC morphology and growth. The results demonstrated that treatments with 19-nortestosterone and testosterone significantly increased AR gene expression (p<0.05), implying that both testosterone and 19-nortestosterone bind with AR and that the hormone bound-AR complex up-regulates the genes of its own receptor (AR) plus other genes involved in satellite cell growth and differentiation in bovine muscle.
