저혈청 배지에서 인간 전골수세포(HL-60)를 이용한 tPA 생산과 세포사멸기작에 관한 연구

The Production of Tissue Type-Plasminigen Activator and Mechanism of Cell Death from Human Promyelocytes(HL-60) in Low Serum Containing Medium

HL-60 was cultivated to produce tPA (tissue-type plasminogen activator) and study the mechanism of cell death. Maximum cell density and tPA production were obtained as $5.27{\times}10^6$ cells/ml and 324ng/ml, respectively under perfusion cultivation. tPA production was enhanced to 420ng/ml in adding 160nM of phorbol ester. The cells were gradually differentiated to granulocytes rather than proliferation. By Fluorescent microscope, apoptosis was prevailed except the death phase and in high agitation speed, but necrosis was prevailed in thawed cells and during the latter periods of the cultivation. It was also proved that tPA was most produced in apoptosis. To obtain higher tPA productivity, the cells must be maintained in apoptosis, not necrosis phase when the cells were dying.
