Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Preliminary experiments have reported the influence of serum and nerve growth factor on olfactory ensheathing cells proliferation in vitro, but there are less studies concerning choice of serum concentration and growth time for in vitro culture of olfactory ensheathing cells.
OBJECTIVE: To find out the influence of different blood serum concentration and growth time on olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa of adult rats based on the growth curve of olfactory ensheathing cells.
METHODS: The olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa of adult rats were separated, culture and identified in vitro. Sulforhodamine B and microplate reader were employed to measure absorbance values and plot growth curve of olfactory ensheathing cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: When cultured for the same time in blood serum of different concentrations, absorbance values, especially in the groups 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, tended to increase with time except the 0% group. When cultured in the same serum for different time, absorbance values increased within the first 9 days, then promoted rapidly in the groups 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% at 13 days, entered the plateau phase at 19 days,   and decreased at 23 days; meanwhile, in the other groups (50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%) the absorbance values peaked at the 13th day and then decreased gradually. These findings indicate that different serum concentrations and different growth time in vitro affect cell growth and survival of olfactory ensheathing cells significantly, which should be fully considered when cells are cultured in an in vitro condition.
