Irradiated esophageal cells are protected from radiation-induced recombination by MnSOD gene therapy.
Radiation-induced DNA damage is a precursor to mutagenesis and cytotoxicity. During radiotherapy, exposure of healthy tissues can lead to severe side effects. We explored the potential of mitochondrial SOD (MnSOD) gene therapy to protect esophageal, pancreatic and bone marrow cells from radiation-induced genomic instability. Specifically, we measured the frequency of homologous recombination (H...
متن کاملMatrix-embedded endothelial cells are protected from the uremic milieu.
BACKGROUND Endothelial cells (ECs) embedded in 3D matrices [matrix-embedded endothelial cells (MEECs)] of denatured collagen implanted around vascular access anastomoses preserve luminal patency. MEEC implant efficacy depends on embedded EC health. As the uremic milieu inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of ECs, we examined whether uremia might impact MEECs. METHODS ECs grown on 2D g...
متن کاملTargeting endothelial cells by gene therapy.
In this issue of Blood, Abel et al designed lentiviral vectors (LVs) enabling specific gene delivery into endothelial cells in vivo. This opens new perspectives for gene therapy of hereditary disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.
متن کاملMechanism of mitomycin-induced apoptosis in cultured corneal endothelial cells
PURPOSE Previous studies have indicated that improper use of mitomycin C (MMC) caused cytotoxicity in corneal endothelial cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether MMC induces cellular apoptosis in corneal endothelial cells and to determine the mechanism by which this may occur. METHODS Porcine corneal endothelial cells were acquired from primary culture. Cellular damage ...
متن کاملCholestanol induces apoptosis of corneal endothelial and lens epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To determine whether cholestanol induces cornea endothelial and lens epithelial cell death in vitro. METHODS Cornea endothelial and lens epithelial cells were cultured in minimum essential media with 10% fetal bovine serum containing 10 microg/ml cholesterol in ethanol, 10 microg/ml cholestanol in ethanol, or 1% ethanol. These cells, stained using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfe...
