Abstract | The mammalian reproductive tract and its secretions provide an optimal environment that facilitates fertilization,implantation and early embryonic development.Oviductal tissue and uterine endometrium are very sensitive to ovarian steroid hormones in vivo,and this sensitivity is shown protein synthesis by oviductal and uterine tissues in vitro.Although estrogen has been shown to stimulate in vivo the proliferation of oviductal and uterine epithelial cells,the stimulation observed in vitro is not clear and depends on experimental conditions.Recently,much knowledge has been accumrated on serum-free culture of epithelial cells.As serum contains various hormones and factors etc.,deletion of serum from a culture medium porvides many advantages,including prevention of overgrowth in fibroblastic cells and more straightforward interpretation of experimental results.In the present review,we discuss methods for oviductal and uterine epithelial cell isolation,compositions of serum-free media including basal media and supplements,primary cultures of mammalian oviductal and uterine epithelial cells in a serum-free medium,and some effects of estrogen and porgeterone on protein synthesis and proliferation of the culturing cells.A serum-free culture system for mammalian oviductual and uterine epithelial cells provides a good in vitro model for investigating the hormonal control of the epithelial cells.

Abstract Alternative | 哺乳動物の卵管や子宮とその分泌物質は受精、床、初期胚の発育に望ましい環境を与えている。管粘膜と子宮内膜は生体ではEとPに対してさまざまな反応を引き起こすが、体外では、これらのステロイドホルモンに対する反応性は卵管、子宮の培養組織におけるタンパク産生において示されている。一方、生体内でEは卵管や子宮上皮細胞の増殖をもたらすが、培養細胞におけるEの細胞増殖促進作用は明確にされていない。近年、上皮性細胞の無血清培養について、多くの知見が得られつつある。血清中にはホルモンや増殖因子などさまざまな物質が含まれているので、血清を培地から除くと、線維芽細胞の増殖が抑えられ、実験結果をより明確に解析することができる等の利点がある。この総説では、哺乳動物の卵管および子宮上皮細胞の分離方法、基礎培地と培養補助因子を含む無血清培地の構成、卵管と子宮上皮細胞の無血清培養、および卵管・子宮上皮培養細胞のタンパク産生と細胞増殖およぼすEとPの作用について述べた。哺乳動物の卵管・子宮上皮細胞の無血清培養系は上皮細胞におけるホルモン作用の研究にとって優れたモデルになるものと思われる。
