Abstract
The potential role of simulated/modeled microgravity conditions in differential gene expression in cells cultured in rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactors was investigated. The patterns of differential gene expression in rat adrenal medullary endothalial cells (RAMEC) cultured for 24 hours, either in RWV bioreactors in static monolayers, static suspension cultures, or as monolayers in a parallel plate flow chamber exposed to fluid shear stress, were compared. It was observed that compared to static monolayer cultures, the expression of almost 19% genes was affected by one or more of the alternate culture conditions. The results suggest that simulated microgravity conditions are important for the alterations in gene expression in RWV bioreactors.
