Title Sheep-derived cell immortalization through the expression of cell cycle regulators and biological characterization using transcriptomes.
Journal Cell Biol Int
Abstract Sheep are important domestic animals for the production of wool and meat. Although numerous cultured cell lines from humans and mice have been established, the number of cell lines derived from sheep is limited. To overcome this issue, the efficient establishment of a sheep-derived cell line and its biological characterization is reported. Mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4, cyclin D1, and telomerase reverse transcriptase were introduced into sheep muscle-derived cells in an attempt to immortalize primary cells using the K4DT method. Furthermore, the SV40 large T oncogene was introduced into the cells. The successful immortalization of sheep muscle-derived fibroblasts was shown using the K4DT method or SV40 large T antigen. Furthermore, the expression profile of established cells showed close biological characteristics of ear-derived fibroblasts. This study provides a useful cellular resource for veterinary medicine and cell biology.
