Abstract Background Hair follicle (HF) undergo periodic growth and development in mammals, which regulated by dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are reported to play an important role in the HF morphogenesis and development. However, primary DPCs have low proliferative activity, age quickly, and fresh cell isolation is both time-consuming and laborious. Method In this study, we introduced SV40LT into dissociated early passage rabbit vibrissae DPCs with lentiviral vectors and established seven immortalized DP cell lines (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6 and R-7). Result These cell lines displayed early passage morphology and displayed high alkaline phosphatase activity. RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining showed that all the immortalized cell lines expressed the DPC markers (α-SMA ,IGF1, ALPL, FGF2, BMP2 and TGFβ2; α-SMA and VIM protein), but α-SMA was only expressed well in R-3, R-4, and R-7. Furthermore, it was found that R-7 was the only line to survive beyond 50 passages. Compared to melanoma cells, R-7 did not undergo malignant transformation. Karyotyping and cell growth viability analysis illustrated that the R-7 cell line preserved the basic characteristics of primary DPCs. Conclusion The R-7 DPCs established have potential application for future hair research. The study provides the theoretical basis in the cell research of HF growth and development.

Dermal Papilla Cell

The dermal papilla is a discrete group of cells at the base of the hair follicle and is implicated in controlling the hair growth cycle. Early passage dermal papilla cells can induce hair growth in vivo, but, upon further culturing, this property is lost. In order to study the events occurring in hair induction, a representative dermal papilla cell line was required. We have transfected passage 1 rat vibrissa dermal papilla cells with a polyomavirus large T gene encoding a temperature-sensitive T antigen, and generated permanent cell lines in which the immortalizing function can be switched off by temperature shift. The cells established without crisis, resembled cells in the starting population, and retained the aggregative properties of early passage dermal papilla cells. Growth studies were performed on the immortalized cell lines, which showed that transferring the cells to the restrictive temperature for the large T gene product resulted in cell senescence or quiescence, and changes in morphology. Implantation of cell pellets into the ears of immunologically compatible rats showed that the immortal cells retained hair-inductive ability. Cytokines are believed to have an important role in the control of hair growth. The pattern of cytokine gene expression in the immortal cell lines was compared with early passage dermal papilla cells and a non-hair-inducing dermal papilla cell line, using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Epidermal growth factor, tumour necrosis factor, and interleukin-1a were detected in the immortalized and non-hair-inducing dermal papilla cell lines, but were absent in passage 2 dermal papilla cells. All other cytokines examined were detected in all the cell types under study. These results demonstrate that the polyomavirus large Ttsa-immortalized dermal papilla cell lines are very similar to passage 2 dermal papilla cells and thus provide a good model for hair growth studies. Cytokine expression profiles indicate that the expression of several cytokines may be implicated in hair induction. Further studies are under way to investigate the relationship between cytokine expression and the hair growth cycle.

The differentiated hepatic function of two rat liver cell lines, P9 and SV40RH1, immortalised by transfection with SV40 DNA has been investigated in terms of the glutathione synthesis, and the activities of γ-glutamyltransferase, glutathione-S-transferase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase. SV40RH1 is a highly differentiated cell line at early passage, but the expression of some aspects of its differentiated phenotype is unstable and some functions are lost by passage 12-13. P9 is a less-well differentiated cell line, with relatively stable expression of functions between passages 4 and 13. In terms of differentiated function both cell lines represent a marked improvement over primary cultures of rat hepatocytes which de-differentiate rapidly within 24-48 h in culture. This retention of liver function in proliferating cell lines offers the opportunity to use such cells in in vitro toxicological studies.

Cell Surface Proteins

Human adipose tissue-derived adult stem (ADAS) cells are a self-renewing population of cells with a multilineage plasticity similar to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Human ADAS have promise for use in combination with various biomaterials for reconstructive tissue engineering. The phenotypic profile of human ADAS cell surface proteins has been partially characterized for stem cell-associated cluster differentiation molecules including CD29, CD44, and CD90. Porcine ADAS cells, an animal model for tissue engineering, also have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple tissue lineages. However, the surface protein phenotype has not been described. Because porcine ADAS are isolated from fat depots likely different from human ADAS liposuction aspirates, it is important to characterize these cells. In this study, we have partially characterized the surface protein phenotype of undifferentiated porcine ADAS cells in comparison with the immunophenotype of undifferentiated human ADAS cells as reported in the literature. Flow cytometry and enhanced chemiluminescence Western blot analysis of early passage (passages 0–4) porcine ADAS cell populations demonstrated that the profiles are not similar to the human ADAS cell surface. Immunoblot detection paired with an enhanced chemiluminescence kit revealed a positive expression for CD44 and CD90 in human ADAS cells as indicated by bands present at the expected sizes and a negative expression for CD44 and CD90 in porcine ADAS cells. Flow cytometric analysis also indicated differences between human and early passage porcine ADAS cell surfaces with a relatively low expression of CD29 (5 cell lines with a mean percent positive of 4.5 ± 1.7 and a range of 2.5–7.2%) and CD44 (5 cell lines with a mean percent positive of 0.66 ± 0.67 and a range of 0.0–1.8%) compared with human ADAS values of 98 ± 1 and 60 ± 15, respectively (Gronthos et al. 2001). Other cell surface proteins analyzed at early passages include CD3 (3 cell lines; 0.07 ± 0.06% positive and 0.0–0.1 range), CD8 (3 cell lines; 0.10 ± 0.10% positive and 0–0.2 range), and CD90 [5 cell lines; 12.7 ± 11.9% positive and 2.4–33 range; human ADAS geometric mean 25.96% (Zuk et al. 2002)]. Analysis of late passage (passages 5–11) porcine ADAS cell populations revealed an increased expression of CD29 (3 cell lines; 26.4 ± 7.2% positive and 21.2–34.6 range). The expression level of CD90 at late passages were 21.3 and 26.9% positive for 2 cell lines and CD44 remained low (3 cell lines; 4.1 ± 3.5% positive and 0.2–7.0 range). Later passages were also analyzed for c-Kit (CD117), which was expressed at low levels (2 cell lines; 0.3 and 0.4% positive). The characterization of adipose tissue-derived adult stem cell surface proteins present at different stages of in vitro culture from a model animal, such as the pig, could have valuable impacts on tissue engineering research. These results suggest that care should be taken when interpreting results from animal models of somatic stem cells.
