Antidepressant drugs modulate growth factors in cultured cells
BACKGROUND Different classes of antidepressant drugs are used as a treatment for depression by activating the catecholinergic system. In addition, depression has been associated with decrease of growth factors, which causes insufficient axonal sprouting and reduced neuronal damage repair. In this study, antidepressant treatments are analyzed in a cell culture system, to study the modulation of ...
متن کاملGrowth factors modulate clonal growth and differentiation of cultured rabbit limbal and corneal epithelium.
PURPOSE To compare the extent of modulation by various growth factors on clonal growth and differentiation between corneal and stem cell-containing limbal epithelium. METHODS A reported serum-free clonal growth assay was used. The mitogenic response was measured by colony forming efficiency, colony size, and bromodeoxyuridine labelling index; the differentiation was assessed by AE-5 monoclona...
متن کاملMacrophage derived growth factors modulate Fas ligand expression in cultured endometrial stromal cells: a role in endometriosis.
Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interactions play a significant role in the immune privilege status of certain cell populations, and several cytokines and growth factors can modulate their expression. When a FasL-expressing cell binds a Fas-bearing immune cell, it triggers its death by apoptosis. In this study, we demonstrate that normal human endometrial epithelial but not stromal cells express FasL. Mo...
متن کاملAntidepressant Drugs
Depression is a common mental disorder characterized by sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-esteem, sleep or appetite disturbances, fatigue and lack of concentration. The disorder can be either chronic or recurrent, substantially reducing the individual’s capacity to work or study, or perform the activities of daily living [1]. Depression is more common in women...
متن کاملGlucose and amino acids modulate translation factor activation by growth factors in PC12 cells.
In PC12 phaeochromocytoma cells, protein synthesis is activated by epidermal and nerve growth factors (EGF and NGF). EGF and NGF also regulate a number of components of the translational machinery in these cells. Here we show that the ability of EGF and NGF to induce the phosphorylation of the 70 kDa ribosomal protein, S6 kinase, and the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF), 4E-binding protein 1,...
