title: Cultured gastric parietal cells from the guinea pig: adherence, cell growth and stimulus coupling of Ca2+ and cyclic AMP.
abstract: The aim of the study was to establish cell culture conditions for responsive guinea pig parietal cells. Parietal cells were isolated by a pronase/collagenase method, enriched by counterflow elutriation and cultured on plastic culture dishes in minimum essential medium. Precoating with gelatine or collagen increased adherence; optimum fetal calf serum concentration was 10%. Parietal cells were cultured for up to 120 h. Intracellular calcium levels in cells cultured for 48 h were 150 nmol/l and increased to 320 nmol/l after stimulation with carbachol and to 250 nmol/l after histamine stimulation as determined by video imaging microscopy. Intracellular cyclic AMP levels were increased 9-fold by histamine in cells cultured for 24 h and more than 30-fold in cells cultured for 48 h. The results show that guinea pig parietal cells grow in primary culture and are suitable for studying second messenger coupling.
