Transgelin, a Novel Marker of Smooth Muscle Differentiation, Effectively Distinguishes Endometrial Stromal Tumors from Uterine Smooth Muscle Tumors.
Differentiation between endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) and smooth muscle tumors of the uterus can be challenging. Transgelin, a 22 kDa actin-binding protein has recently been shown to be a smooth muscle specific marker. The goal of this study was to determine whether transgelin could accurately distinguish ESSs from smooth muscle tumors. The expression of transgelin, CD10 and smooth muscle...
متن کاملIntestinal smooth muscle cells locally enhance stem cell factor (SCF) production against gastrointestinal nematode infections.
Smooth muscle cells can produce stem cell factor (SCF) in the normal state for the preservation of mast cells, but it is still unknown whether smooth muscle cells can enhance SCF production in response to the pathological stimuli. The present study showed that smooth muscle cells in mast cell-increased regions around worm cysts of intestinal nematodes significantly enhanced SCF gene expression ...
متن کاملContribution of Intestinal Smooth Muscle to Crohn’s Disease Fibrogenesis
Mesenchymal cells transdifferentiation and extracellular matrix deposition are involved in the fibrotic process of Crohn's disease (CD). Mesenchymal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) de-differentiation, driven by Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) that counteracts Transforming growth factor (TGF-β) has been studied in vascular muscle. The role of SMCs in intestinal fibrogenesis is still not clearly...
متن کاملAutonomic modification of intestinal smooth muscle contractility.
Intestinal smooth muscle contracts rhythmically in the absence of nerve and hormonal stimulation because of the activity of pacemaker cells between and within the muscle layers. This means that the autonomic nervous system modifies rather than initiates intestinal contractions. The practical described here gives students an opportunity to observe this spontaneous activity and its modification b...
متن کاملSmooth muscle strips for intestinal tissue engineering.
Functionally contracting smooth muscle is an essential part of the engineered intestine that has not been replicated in vitro. The purpose of this study is to produce contracting smooth muscle in culture by maintaining the native smooth muscle organization. We employed intact smooth muscle strips and compared them to dissociated smooth muscle cells in culture for 14 days. Cells isolated by enzy...
