Abstract
Serially cultured human diploid fibroblasts have a finite lifetime in vitro, and this phenomenon was postulated as cellular aging. Neutral glycosphingolipids (GSLs) from human fetal lung-derived diploid fibroblast cell lines, WI-38 and TIG-1 cells, were studied during cellular aging. Both cell lines had at least four types of neutral GSLs. It was found that neutral GSLs changed with aging, the most conspicuous alteration being a 2-4-fold increase in the content of ceramide monohexoside. This change was invariably observed in either WI-38 or TIG-1 cells.Entities:
