Derivation |
The telomerase-immortalized human microvascular endothelium cell line, TIME, was derived from a primary culture of neonatal foreskin microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) of the dermis.
The primary HMVECs were immortalized by infection with the retrovirus WZLblast3:hTERT and cultured in complete growth medium containing blasticidin. |
Antigen Expression |
Positive for integrin alpha v beta 3 RefVenetsanakos E, et al. Induction of tubulogenesis in telomerase-immortalized human microvascular endothelial cells by glioblastoma cells. Exp. Cell Res. 273(1):21-33, 2002. PubMed: 11795943 and CD31 (flow cytometry) RefVenetsanakos E, et al.

|
Receptor Expression |
The cells express the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and are capable of acetylated LDL uptake. RefVenetsanakos E, et al. Induction of tubulogenesis in telomerase-immortalized human microvascular endothelial cells by glioblastoma cells. Exp. Cell Res. 273(1):21-33, 2002. PubMed: 11795943
|
Comments |
The immortalized cells do not undergo growth arrest in culture due to the exogenous hTERT expression.
When plated on Matrigel, TIME cells undergo tubule formation exhibiting capillary-like structures. |
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is Vascular Cell Basal Medium (ATCC® PCS-100-030), supplemented with Microvascular Endothelial Cell Growth Kit-VEGF (ATCC® PCS-110-041) and 12.5 μg/mL blasticidine. |
Subculturing |
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Note: Subculture when cultures are about 80% confluent.
- Prior to subculturing, determine the number of flasks needed. Add the appropriate volume of medium to each flask and allow the flasks to equilibrate in a 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified incubator for at least 30 minutes. If not using vented caps, loosen caps of flasks.
- Remove and discard spent medium.
- Briefly rinse the cells with Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (D-PBS, ATCC 30-2200) and discard rinse solution.
- Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL room temperature Trypsin-EDTA for Primary Cells (ATCC PCS-999-003) to the flask. Incubate at 37°C for 5 min (until cells have detached).
- Neutralize trypsin by adding an equal volume of room temperature 2% FBS in D-PBS.
- Transfer cells to a centrifuge tube. Rinse the flask with an additional room temperature 2% FBS in D-PBS and pool into centrifuge tube with cells.
- Centrifuge cells at 250 x g for 10 min at room temperature.
- Remove supernatant. Resuspend pellet in 6.0 to 8.0 mL Complete Growth Medium.
- Count cells, and seed 5 x 103 to 8 x 103 viable cells/cm2 to new culture vessels. Subculture when cells become 80 to 90% confluent, which normally yield approximately 3.0 x 104 viable cells/cm2.
- Incubate cultures at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator.
Subcultivation ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended.
Medium renewal: Every 2 to 3 days

Population Doubling Level (PDL) |
As part of our quality control, we have tested this cell line for its ability to grow for a minimum of 15 population doublings after recovery from cryopreservation. We have also compared its karyotype, telomerase expression level, growth rate, morphology and tissue-specific markers when first recovered from cryopreservation with that of cells at 10+ population doublings to ensure that there is no change in these parameters and that the cells are capable of extended proliferation. |
