Abstract

Factors regulating the proliferation of normal, preneoplastic, and neoplastic rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells were investigated to identify changes taking place during the progression of RTE cells to neoplasia. Normal RTE cells exhibit clonal proliferation in a serum-free medium containing pituitary extract, serum albumin, cholera toxin, epidermal growth factor, hydrocortisone, and insulin. All combinations of these six factors were examined for their abilities to support clonal proliferation of normal, preneoplastic, and neoplastic RTE cells. In general, preneoplastic RTE cells required fewer factors for proliferation than normal RTE cells, and neoplastic cells required fewer factors than preneoplastic cells. A common pattern of reductions has been identified in the growth factors required for the clonal proliferation of preneoplastic vs. normal RTE cells and for neoplastic vs. preneoplastic and normal RTE cells. Normal RTE cells exhibit clonal proliferation in a serum-free medium supplemented with a minimum of six factors: bovine serum albumin, bovine pituitary extract, cholera toxin, epidermal growth factor, hydrocortisone, and insulin. Preneoplastic RTE cells exhibit clonal proliferation in a serum-free medium supplemented with four factors: bovine serum albumin, bovine pituitary extract, hydrocortisone, and insulin. Finally, neoplastic RTE cells exhibit clonal proliferation in a serum-free medium supplemented with two factors: bovine serum albumin and bovine pituitary extract. These results suggest that the progression of RTE cells to neoplasia is associated with a series of changes in regulatory pathways that control cell proliferation.
