title: [The expression of IGF-1 and its receptor in cultured tendon cell].
abstract: In order to study the expression change of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its receptor genes in different generations of tendon cell in culture, Dig-labeled synthesized oligonucleotide probes were used to detect the mRNA expression in primary, 6th and 13th generation of tendon cell. The results showed that IGF-1 receptor mRNA was expressed in all of the 3 above generation tendon cells. IGF-1 mRNA was expressed only in primary and 6th generation cells. Tendon cell of 13th generation did not express IGF-1 mRNA. It might suggest that the absence of IGF-1 mRNA expression be one of the causes which led to the decrease of reproductive ability of 13th generation tendon cell.
