Human fibroblasts (WI-38 cells) were found to enhance mucus accumulation by human scirrhous carcinoma cells (KATO-III cells). Coculture of KATO-III with WI-38 cells resulted in enlargement of the KATO-III cells and increases in the proportions of PAS- and colloidal iron-positive KATO-III cells. These morphological alterations were reversed when the KATO-III cells were again cultured without WI-38 cells. Conditioned media from cultures of WI-38 cells or cocultures of KATO-III and WI-38 cells induced the same morphological alterations in KATO-III cells, suggesting that WI-38 cells produce a factor or factors that enhance mucus accumulation in KATO-III cells. This factor seemed to be a protein with a molecular weight of more than 10,000 daltons.
研究发现,人成纤维细胞(WI-38细胞)可增强人硬癌细胞(KATO-III细胞)的黏液积累。KATO-III细胞与WI-38细胞共培养导致KATO-III细胞增大,且PAS和胶体铁阳性的KATO-III细胞比例增加。当KATO-III细胞再次在无WI-38细胞的条件下培养时,这些形态学改变得以逆转。WI-38细胞培养的条件培养基或KATO-III与WI-38细胞的共培养物在KATO-III细胞中诱导出相同的形态学改变,这表明WI-38细胞产生一种或多种可增强KATO-III细胞黏液积累的因子。该因子似乎是一种分子量超过10,000道尔顿的蛋白质。
