Long-term mouse urothelial cell cultures were routinely established from explants of neonatal mouse bladders. Foci of proliferating cells could be observed one week after the initiation of the explant cultures. These persisted throughout the culture period and up to one year. Expression of keratin proteins confirmed the epithelial nature of the cultured cells. Morphologic analysis of nuclei sorted after DNA flow cytometry revealed a population of DNA-tetraploid and octoploid cells with large nuclei and prominent nucleoli in addition to a DNA-diploid cell population. Both cell populations showed DNA replicative activity as reflected by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation studies and mitotic activity. These long-term primary mouse urothelial cell cultures may prove useful for studies on urothelial cell kinetics and bladder carcinogenesis.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
