Résumé
The objective of this study is to establish a reliable cell culture system for the long-term culture of rat urothelial cells (RUC), in which the cells multiply in vitro and form stratified polarized urothelium. Urothelial cells were harvested by the enzymatic digestion of the urothelium exposed by the eversion of resected rat bladders. Primary cultures were initiated in keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM) for selective proliferation of urothelial cells. Subsequently, the cells were propagated in a mixture of conditioned medium (CM) derived from Swiss 3T3 cell culture supernatant and KSFM (CM-KSFM). Mean population doubling time was 13.8 +/- 0.9 h. RUC were successfully maintained for 18 passages over a period of 4-5 mo. Detailed investigations of culture conditions showed that CM-KSFM yielded a differentiated multilayer structure. The stratified urothelial sheets measuring 4 x 6 cm2 could be formed and then detached using dispase. Cytokeratin pattern in both the cultured urothelial monolayer and engineered stratified layers was similar to those seen in vivo, as assessed with monoclonal antibody against cytokeratin 17. Ultrastructural morphology showed microvilli, basal cell layer, and desmosomes between adjacent cells in the stratified urothelium.
