Degeneration of human respiratory cell ciliary beat in monolayer cell cultures

Abstract: The degeneration of ciliary beat of human respiratory cells was studied in monolayer cell cultures by using a differential interference microscope equipped with a high speed video system. This method for studying ciliary beat in cell cultures on collagen-coated cover glasses is quite advantageous, because it allows for detailed study of all parts of ciliary function and not just ciliary beat frequency (CBF). In the present study both CBF and ciliary beat amplitude (CBA) were found to decrease continuously from… Show more

“…In all the collagen substrata investigated, the observed CBF decrease agreed with literature information (Rautiainen et al 1993 ;Agu et al 1999). The progressive decline in the number and frequency of ciliated cells may be explained by the loss of the cells ' threedimensional geometry upon attachment (Jorissen et al 1989).…”

“…Because of its similarity to in vivo ciliogenesis, we used the floating ciliated culture system in this study. In a HSV system, only a thin specimen such as a monolayer cell culture on a collagen-coated cover glass can be observed clearly at high magnification [14]. However, with our method, we could observe moving cilia even on thick specimens such as a floating gel at high magnification: by attaching the convex site of the surface of the cul-tured cell layer on pieces removed from a floating cell culture to the cover glass, moving cilia could be observed on the concave site and the edge of the culture cell layer without any damage, including the movement of individual cilia (figs 1, 2).…”

“…Epithelial cells with normal ciliary activity were not detected (87,129). Too low a cell density of the seeded nasal mucosa cells (84,142) and insufficient supplementation of the culture medium with growth-promoting factors like vitamin A (35) have been discussed as possible factors responsible for the loss of the cilia in the monolayer cultures. Moreover, the epithelial cells are detached from the basal membrane by enzymatic separation, but since this has a regulating effect on the differentiation of epithelial cells (14,68), the loss of this cell-matrix interaction can be seen as another decisive factor for the dedifferentiation of the nasal mucosa cells in the monolayer culture.…”
