Growth and differentiation of primary and passaged equine bronchial epithelial cells under conventional and air-liquid-interface culture conditions

Abstract: BackgroundHorses develop recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) that resembles human bronchial asthma. Differentiated primary equine bronchial epithelial cells (EBEC) in culture that closely mimic the airway cells in vivo would be useful to investigate the contribution of bronchial epithelium in inflammation of airway diseases. However, because isolation and characterization of EBEC cultures has been limited, we modified and optimized techniques of generating and culturing EBECs from healthy horses to mimic in viv… Show more

“…Successful cultures of primary and immortalized cells of airway epithelial origin are already well established for humans and a few animal species. These include mainly equine, porcine, bovine, and mouse cell lines [22][23][24][25], but to the best of our knowledge, no characterized airway epithelial cell lines from bats exist.…”

“…The TEER is an important method for assessing the formation of junctional complexes between cells [54]. In our model, once confluency was reached, the TEER of the culture rapidly increased (Fig 3C) [25,44,55], however TEER of other AECMs have been shown to stabilised at the peak [32]. This variation in TEER over the course of culturing was not reflected in the presence of tight-junctional protein ZO-1, which was maintained at a stable level throughout the time-course.…”
