    Notes: Abstract COS, myeloma and HeLa cells, which are commonly used for protein production by cell culture, were transfected with human bcl-2 gene encoded on the shuttle vector BCMGS. Expression of human bcl-2 improved survival of cells remarkably, mildly, or negligibly for COS, myeloma, and HeLa, respectively. Four clones were obtained from the human bcl-2 expressing cell population of COS cells. They expressed human bcl-2 almost at the same level. The viable cell numbers were 6, 2.5, 2.5, and 0.8 times as many for the clones #8, #5, #6, and #7, respectively, as for the control COS cells, when they were cultured at low (0.2%) serum concentration for 9 days. The bcl-2 overexpressing COS cells showed morphology different from that of the control COS cells in serum limited condition. When transfected with mouse lambda protein gene carried by an SV40-derived vector, clone #8 of the bcl-2 transfected COS cells continued the transient expression of lambda protein longer than the control COS cells.

    Notes: F-MEL cells were transfected with the c-jun antisense gene located downstream of a glucocorticoid-inducible MMTV promoter, and the obtained cells were named c-jun AS cells. When the c-jun AS cells were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) in DMEM supplemented with 10% serum, the growth of the cells was completely suppressed for a duration of 16 days with a high cell viability exceeding 86%. The c-jun expression in the c-jun AS cells was suppressed moderately in the absence of DEX and strongly in the presence of DEX. The c-jun AS cells grew well and reached a density of 106 cells/mL without supplementation of any serum components. Viability was greater than 80% after the cells had been cultured for 8 days in the absence of DEX. The c-jun AS cells stayed at a constant cell density and high viability above 80% for 8 days when they were cultured in the presence of DEX under serum deprivation. In contrast, the wild type F-MEL cells were unable to grow and died by apoptosis in 3 days under serum deprivation. Internucleosomal cleavage of DNA, a landmark of apoptosis, was clearly detectable. Thus the c-jun AS cell line that is resistant to apoptosis induced by serum deprivation and can reversibly and viably be growth-arrested was established. A dual-signal model was proposed to explain the experimental result, the interlinked regulation of apoptosis, and growth by c-jun.© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 58:65-72, 1998.
