Abstract
Background: The human adrenal gland is composed of the cortex and the medulla, which contain different function cells. The aim of this study was to build a 3D culture system for human adrenal glands.
Methods: Human fetal adrenal tissues were digested into a cell suspension culture and processed in three-phase 3D cultures.
Results: Apparent spheroids could be seen from the 4th day on. After 21 days of 3D culture, steroid synthesis cells were evident via CYP17A1+ immunohistochemical staining and flow cytometry analysis. Electron microscopy analysis showed that these cells were present in lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. Meanwhile, TH+ cells represented catecholamine-producing cells, and these cells exhibited electron density particle gathering in the cytoplasm. Dehydroepiandrosterone and epinephrine syntheses were further confirmed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Conclusions: We established a 3D culture system for human adrenal glands by using a sequential processing medium to facilitate cortical-medullary cell development.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Laboratory is an international fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of laboratory medicine and transfusion medicine. In addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies. The journal publishes original articles, review articles, posters, short reports, case studies and letters to the editor dealing with 1) the scientific background, implementation and diagnostic significance of laboratory methods employed in hospitals, blood banks and physicians'' offices and with 2) scientific, administrative and clinical aspects of transfusion medicine and 3) in addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies.
