Effect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملNeuropeptides Exert Direct Effects on Rat Thymic Epithelial Cells in Culture
To determine if major thymic neuropeptides and neurotransmitters can directly influence the functional activity of cultured rat thymic epithelium, neuropeptides and neurotransmitters were applied, and intercellular communication, proliferation, and thymulin secretion assessed. After injections of a mixture of lucifer yellow dextran (too large to pass gap junctions) and cascade blue (which does)...
متن کاملCONTRACTIONS DUE TO α-ADRENOCEPTOR AGONISTS ARE MEDIATED BY α1-ADRENOCEPTORS IN RAT CAROTID ARTERY
Some large vessels have a mixed functional population of postjunctional α1- and α 2-adrenoceptors. The purpose of the work presented here was to investigate the population of postjunctional α -adrenoceptors in the rat isolated common carotid artelY Male Wi star rats were killed by overdose with pentobarbitone sodium, after which the left and right common carotid arteries were removed. Rings...
متن کاملPhenotypic expression in spontaneously transformed cultured rat liver epithelial cells.
Five clonal cell strains of an early-passage normal rat liver epithelial cell line were transformed spontaneously using the protocol of "selective culture" condition. Twelve cell lines were established from the tumors produced after injecting these transformed cells into 1-day-old syngeneic rats. The phenotypic expressions of these spontaneously transformed tumor cell lines were studied and com...
متن کاملANTICALMODULIN DRUGS DUE TO THE NET EFFECTS CANNOT ANTAGONIZE DIBUTYRYL-CAMP-MEDIATED SUPPRESSION OF DE NOVO SYNTHESIZED LIPID SECRETION IN BOTH CULTURED MCARDLE CELLS AND RAT HEPATOCYTES
The effects and interaction between cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and calmodulin antagonists were investigated on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle-RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl cAMP caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H] glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The ...
