Mouse submandibular epithelial cells can be grown in primary culture using the collagen gel matrix and a chemically defined medium consisting of insulin, transferrin, cholera toxin, and BSA (or FGF). Sustained cell growth leading to a 5–10-fold increase in cell number was observed in less than 2 weeks. In the presence of these additives, clumps of cells proliferate by extending ‘star-like’ projections into the matrix, resulting in three-dimensional outgrowths. The morphology of these outgrowths can be modulated to form a ‘cyst-like’ appearance by deleting BSA and adding cortisol to the basal medium containing insulin, transferrin, cholera toxin and FGF. In brief, a serum-free medium for sustained growth has been devised and a simple manipulation of supplements can modulate the three-dimensional colony morphology in the collagen gel matrix. Finally, the resulting outgrowths can produce epidermal growth factor (EGF) in response to dihydrotestosterone.
