The very rapid growth rate (1 population doubling/day) of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (HK) cultured in serum-free medium can be utilized for wound closure in burn treatment. However, rapid growth in vitro may present the possibility of neoplastic transformation. To investigate this possibility, HK were cultured from primary isolation to large populations in MCDB 153 medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor (EGF, 10 ng/ml), insulin (5 μg/ml), hydrocortisone (0.5 μg/ml), and Bovine Pituitary Extract (BPE, 70 μg/ml). HK were studied for their ability to form tumors in athymic mice after subcutaneous inoculation. Sixteen separate HK strains were inoculated from primary cultures, or from secondary cultures either before or after storage in liquid nitrogen. Transformed cell lines, SCC 13 and FL, derived from human epithelial carcinomata were used as controls for tumor formation. HK formed no tumors (0 79) after 26 weeks incubation, SCC 13 formed nodular tumors (3 5) after 20 weeks incubation, and FL formed tumors (5 5) after 4 weeks incubation. HK cells were not found by histological examination of inoculation sites of keratinocyte cultures derived from primary culture from skin. In contrast, palpable tumors from both SCC 13 and FL were returned to tissue culture and continued to proliferate. These results support the conclusion that the rapid growth rate of human epidermal keratinocytes in vitro can be attributed to permissive culture conditions, and not to neoplastic transformation.
