Comparison of the Growth Kinetics and Morphological Characteristics of Adult and Fetal Esophageal Smooth Muscle Cells

Abstract

Culture studies of the esophageal tissue have mostly been on the investigation of mucosal changes. In this study, we aimed to form functional esophageal segment in vitro and to calculate and compare the growth kinetics of esophageal muscle cells of fetal and adult distal esophagus. The muscular coat of distal 1/3 esophageal segments of adult and fetal New Zealand rabbits were cultured and identified as smooth muscle cells (SMC) by immunostaining for anti-actin and anti-myosin antibodies. Growth kinetics of SMCs were calculated and compared using population doubling time (PDT) and thymidine labeling index (TLI). Viability rates of all cells were calculated using trypan blue. The ratio of cell populations stained with anti-actin and anti-myosin antibodies was higher than 90% and the cells were characteristic spindle shaped, same as the muscle cell morphology. Calculated PDT of fetal and adult SMCs were 145,5 and 95,2 hours respectively and TLI values were found to be similar. Fine dissection of the tissue and appropriate medium is mandatory to achive isolated esophageal SMCs. The fetal esophageal cells showed proliferation slower than the adults. Conclusion, we can spaculate that smooth muscle cells obtained from different tissues act similar in the same culture condition.
