Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand molecular mechanisms involved in acquired abnormalities of tumor vascular endothelial cells under hypoxic condition, I tried to set up a cell culture system that normal vascular endothelial cells grow malignatly in serum free STK medium, that was established for mesenchymal cells such as mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts, in combination with tumor cell culture conditioned medium and CoCl2. However, I failed to set up a reproducible cell culture system because of unstable cell adhesion. On the other hand, when I cultured the mesencymal cells with medium for endothelial cells (EGM2), I found that EGM2 contained a common factor with STK that affected glycosphingolipid biosynthesis in mesenchymal cells but not in endothelial cells under responsible glycosyltransferase gene expression. These results suggested that different regulation of glycosphingolipid glycan expression is one of a reasons why endothelial cell adhesion under serum free STK medium was unstable.
