This video describes the protocol to isolate primary human mesothelial cells from the human omentum specimen. The mesothelial cells can be used to establish an in vitro ovarian cancer model to investigate ovarian cancer cell adhesion, invasion, and proliferation.
Protocol
All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board. 1. Isolation and Culture of Primary Untransformed Stromal Cells Human tissue collection and preparation. Obtain specimens of human omentum, 2 cm3, removed during an abdominal surgery, and immediately immerse tissue in RT ph…
Representative Results
Figure 1. Isolation of primary human omental cells. (A) A piece of omentum is collected at surgery in PBS and transported to the laboratory. The tissue is pelleted at 0.5 x g x 3 min and transferred to fresh PBS. (B) The piece of omentum is transferred to a 10 cm petri dish, washed with PBS, and scalpels are used to cut t…
