Luminal epithelial cells are the first embryonic-maternal contact site undergoing very specific changes associated with reproductive processes. Cells prepare for embryo development by increasing their volume, with the help of aquaporins that provide a transcellular path of rapid water movement during the secretion and absorption of fluids, as well as connexins enabling the flow of inorganic ions and small molecules. In this work, we have examined how AQPs and Cx’s behave in luminal epithelium primary cell culture. Cells obtained from porcine specimen during slaughter were primarily in vitro cultured for 7 days. Their proliferation patterns were then analyzed using RTCA, with the expression of genes of interest evaluated with the use of immunofluorescence and RT-qPCR. The results of these changes of gene of interest expression were analyzed on each of the seven days of the porcine luminal primary cell culture. Our study showed that the significant changes were noted in the case of Cx43, whose level of protein expression and distribution increases after 120 hours of culture, when the cells enter the lag phase, and maintains an upward trend until the end of the culture. We noted an increase in AQP4, AQP7, AQP8, and AQP11 levels throughout the entire culture period, while the largest differences in expression were found in AQP3, AQP4, and AQP10. The obtained results could become a point of reference for further in vivo and clinical research. Experiments conducted with these proteins showed that they influence the endometrial fluid content during the oestrous cycle and participate in the process of angiogenesis, which intensifies during endometrial development.

Tyrosinase activity in the Ab hamster amelanotic melanoma ceils cultured in serum-free Eagle's MEM increased 3 times after 6 h of primary cell culture. This increase was inhibited completely by cycloheximide, while actinomycin D had no effect on this process. After 24 h of culture in MEM with calf serum, further increase of the tyrosinase activity was inhibited by both cycloheximide and actinomycin D. The data presented may indicate that the increase of tyrosinase activity in the primary cell culture of the Ab melanoma is due initially to the unblocking of translation and later to the activation of transcription of the gene controlling the enzyme.
