Abstract:
Objective To compare the biological characteristics of human embryonic lung cell line MU-L2, MU-L2 cell line transfected with SV40-LT(MU-SVL2) and the international established human embryonic lung cell line MRC-5, in order to apply MU-L2 cell line to biomedical research and vaccine production.Methods MU-L2, MU-SVL2 and MRC-5 cells were cultured in MEM medium containing 10% NBS, and passed according to the requirements of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ, 2020 edition). The growth characteristics of three kinds of cells were observed under microscope, CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation ability, qPCR was used to measure telomere relative length, soft agar clone formation test was used to analyze cell tumorigenicity, and Giemsa staining karyotype analysis was used to detect chromosome stability. The detection results of the cell lines were compared.Results After 72 h of culture, the three kinds of cells grew into a dense monolayer, and the cells showed a typical vortex-like arrangement, growing in good condition. The proliferation rates of MU-L2and MU-SVL2 cells were significantly higher than that of MRC-5 cells in 3-6 d of culture(F = 1. 893, P < 0. 05). With the increase of generations, the telomere relative length shortened accordingly, while the recent secondary telomere relative length values of MU-L2 and MU-SVL2 were higher than those of MRC-5 cells. No colony formation was found in the three kinds of cells, and they all belonged to normal diploid karyotype.Conclusion MU-L2 and MU-SVL2 cells have strong proliferation ability, better telomere stability, no tumorigenicity and stable chromosome, which are expected to be used in biomedical research and vaccine production.
