We established a retinal pigment epithelium-derived cell line from transgenic mouse harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 T-antigen gene (tsSV40T) and examined its characteristics. We enucleated both eyes from a 2-month-old transgenic mouse and removed the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and neuroretinal cells. After cloning the RPE cells, we obtained a cell line (RPET). RPET cells grew well at 33°C but not at 37°C, expressing on the temperature-sensitive character of tsSV40T, and maintained characters of RPE cells such as T1-tyrosinase production, phagocytosis of rod outer segments, and presence of cytokeratin, microvilli on the cell surface and lysosome-like granules around the Golgi apparatus in the cytoplasm. Conditioned medium (CM) from a culture of neuroretinal cells harboring tsSV40T was essentially required for growth. The factor(s) in CM was heat- and acid labile, but was resistant to trypsin digestion. In the presence of 3% CM, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) had strong growth effects on RPET cells, whereas insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and IGF-II had moderate growth effects. Interestingly, none of these growth factors stimulated the RPET cells in the absence of CM. EHS-Matrix® had growth effect, whereas laminin, collagen types I and IV, and fibronectin had no marked growth effects on RPET cells. RPET cells were morphologically changed on a laminin-coated dish. They could not spread on the coated dish, and the majority of the cells floated. But when the floating cells were transferred to non-coated dishes, they immediately attached themselves. These results suggest that RPET cells are a good model for finding novel growth factor(s) and for investigating the mechanism of cell-laminin attachment.
