Effects of selenocystine on lead-exposed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and PC-12 cells.
Lead is a pervasive environmental toxin that affects multiple organ systems, including the nervous, renal, reproductive, and hematological systems. Even though it is probably the most studied toxic metal, some of the symptoms of lead toxicity still cannot be explained by known molecular mechanisms. Therefore, lead-induced oxidative stress has recently started to gain attention. This in vitro st...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF HUMAN PROTEINASE 3 IN CHINESE HAMSTER OVARY CELLS (CHO-CELLS)
Proteinase 3(PR3) is a human polymorphonuclear leukocyte serine proteinase and is the main target antigen for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) found in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). We developed a stable expression system for conformationally intact recombinant PR3 (rPR3) in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-cells). The part of PR3 cDNA that encoded the active form of PR3 was s...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Recombinant Human Interleukin-7 in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
Background: The critical role of interleukin-7 (IL-7) in homeostatic proliferation and T cell survival has made it a promising cytokine for the treatment of various clinical conditions, especially those associated with lymphopenia. Methods: In the present study we expressed recombinant human interleukin-7 (rhIL-7) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells. CHO-K1 cells were stably transfected ...
متن کاملEffects of N-acetylcysteine on lead-exposed PC-12 cells.
The neurotoxicity of lead has been well established through numerous studies. However, the cellular processes of lead neurotoxicity, as well as techniques to prevent or reverse cellular damage after lead exposure, remain unknown. If oxidative stress plays a primary role in lead-induced neurotoxicity, antioxidants should assist in reviving lead-exposed cells. The present study explores N-acetylc...
متن کاملIntracellular Localization of FLAG-Peroxisomal Protein in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells
Epitope tagging is a method of expressing proteins whereby an epitope for a specific monoclonal antibody is fused to a target protein using recombinant DNA techniques. The aim of this study was to sub-clone the peroxisomal protein (PEP) cDNA into a mammalian expression vector leading to the formation of a chimeric PEP-cDNA containing the FLAG epitope. The FLAG-PEP recombinant cDNA was construc...
