Comparison of a Suggested Model of Fibrosis in Human Dermal Fibroblasts by Serum from Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Transforming Growth Factor β Induced in vitro Model
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease, featuring fibrosis in multiple organs. The serum from SSc patients contain inflammatory mediators, contributing to SSc pathogenesis and could be used to develop cell culture models. Here, we compared the fibrotic effects of serum samples from SSc patients with TGFβ1 on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). HDF cells were cultured in four diff...
متن کاملE2F1 overexpression in quiescent fibroblasts leads to induction of cellular DNA synthesis and apoptosis.
Various experiments have demonstrated a role for the E2F transcription factor in the regulation of cell growth during the G0/G1/S phase transition. Indeed, overexpression of the E2F1 product, a component of the cellular E2F activity, induces DNA synthesis in quiescent fibroblasts. To provide an approach to a more detailed biochemical analysis of these events, we have made use of a recombinant a...
متن کاملInhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 decreases DNA synthesis induced by platelet-derived growth factor in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts.
NS-398 [N-(2-cyclohexyloxy-4-nitrophenyl)methanesulfonamide], a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inhibited proliferation induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. The effect of NS-398 was found to be concentration-dependent. The half-maximal effect occurred at approximately 0.1 microM. NS-398 decreased mitogenesis at subsaturating PDGF concentrat...
متن کاملG1 cyclin-dependent kinases are sufficient to initiate DNA synthesis in quiescent human fibroblasts
Mammalian fibroblasts require mitogens in order to exit from G0 (quiescence) and progress through the G1 phase of the cell cycle, although once they pass the restriction point late in G1 they can enter S phase and complete the cell cycle without mitogens [1]. Mitogenic signals are integrated through the GTPase Ras, which regulates the levels of cyclin D1 [2-5], a component of the cell cycle mac...
متن کاملInflammation, a Key Factor in Cancer Ambush
Inflammatory condition is the consequence of defensive mechanism of immune system against viral and bacterial infection, tissue injury, UV radiation, stress and etc. Persistently acute inflammation leads to chronic phase which is characterized by production of pro-inflammatory mediators from T cells. These molecules (e.g. IL-6, TNF-&alpha, IL-1&beta and IL-17) are mostly pleiotropic cytokines i...
