Cytochalasin B-induced membrane vesicles convey angiogenic activity of parental cells
Naturally occurring extracellular vesicles (EVs) play essential roles in intracellular communication and delivery of bioactive molecules. Therefore it has been suggested that EVs could be used for delivery of therapeutics. However, to date the therapeutic application of EVs has been limited by number of factors, including limited yield and full understanding of their biological activities. To a...
متن کاملTruncated Core/NS3 Fusion Protein of HCV Adjuvanted with Outer Membrane Vesicles of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B: Potent Inducer of the Murine Immune System
Background: A licensed vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has not become available to date. The stability and antigenicity of a targeted synthesized recombinant fusion protein consisting of a truncated core and NS3 (rC/N) of HCV had been predicted. Although safe antigens, recombinant proteins are not efficacious vaccines without adjuvants. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity of ...
متن کاملRapid fusion of synaptic vesicles with reconstituted target SNARE membranes.
Neurotransmitter release at neuronal synapses occurs on a timescale of 1 ms or less. Reconstitution of vesicle fusion from purified synaptic proteins and lipids has played a major role in elucidating the synaptic exocytotic fusion machinery with ever increasing detail. However, one limitation of most reconstitution approaches has been the relatively slow rate of fusion that can be produced in t...
متن کاملCytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B competitively inhibits the transport of uridine and thymidine by Novikoff rat hepatoma cells growing in suspension culture with apparent K(i)'s of 2 and 6 microM, respectively, but has no effect on the intracellular phosphorylation of the nucleosides. Choline transport is not affected by cytochalasin B. Results from pulse-chase experiments indicate that cytochalasin B has no dire...
متن کاملCytochalasin B
Cytochalasin B, a mold metabolite, has been shown to inhibit cytokinesis and motility (3), morphogenie development (18), endocytosis (5), and the transport of sugars (8-10, 12). I t has also been demonstrated that this drug inhibits the stimuatcd elaboration of extracellular substances from glands-the release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland after stimulation by thyroid-stimulating hormone (...
