Studies of the growth of human bone-derived cells in culture using aqueous two-phase partition. 1984

P T Sharpe, and B R MacDonald, and J A Gallagher, and T E Treffry, and R G Russell

Human bone cells, maintained in culture, have been subjected to partitioning in an aqueous two-phase system on a countercurrent distribution apparatus. A broad cell distribution was obtained indicating cell-surface heterogeneity. Two major cell populations were identified which appeared to be growing at different rates. The 'fast'-growing cells had a less hydrophobic cell surface than the 'slow'-growing cells. Possible relationships of these cell populations with osteoblast differentiation and the potential importance of this technique in studies of osteoblast differentiation are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010006 Osteoblasts Bone-forming cells which secrete an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. HYDROXYAPATITE crystals are then deposited into the matrix to form bone. Osteoblast
D011092 Polyethylene Glycols Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D001842 Bone and Bones A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principal cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.
