Fibroblast Cell Lines and Primary Fibroblasts:

Fibroblasts maintain the structure of connective tissues by secreting precursors of the extracellular matrix, primarily a variety of fibres and the ground substance. Fibroblasts and related connective tissues sculpt the major portion of an organism. Fibroblasts are derived from primitive mesenchyme. Fibroblasts have a branched cytoplasm that surrounds a nucleus with one or two nucleoli. Fibroblasts can migrate slowly over substratum as individual cells (in contrast to epithelial cells). Fibroblasts can show dissimilar phenotypes in different anatomical locations. Active fibroblasts have rough abundant endoplasmic reticulum. Fibroblasts often align in parallel clusters when crowded. Unlike the epithelial cells lining the body structures, fibroblasts don’t form flat mono-layers and are not restricted to a basal lamina on one side. They can contribute to basal lamina components in some situations.

Data:

Fibroblasts Cells Transfection Reagent

Figure 1. SiRNAs targeting Lamin A/C mRNA or non-silencing control siRNA were transfected into fibroblast cells following the recommended protocol. At 48 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by qRT-PCR for gene expression levels. 18S rRNA levels were used to normalize the Lamin A/C data. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).
