Expression and regulation of sFRP family members in human granulosa cells.
Follicular development and ovulation are major processes in the reproductive system. Understanding their complexity is important to female fertility treatments and the control of reproductive processes. Wnt signaling pathway components were shown to be involved in reproduction in animal models. The secreted frizzled-related protein-4 (sFRP4), a potential modulator of Wnt4 signaling pathway, was...
متن کاملExpression of SFRP Family Proteins in Human Keratoconus Corneas
We investigated the expression of the secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRPs) in keratoconus (KC) and control corneas. KC buttons (∼8 mm diameter) (n = 15) and whole control corneas (n = 7) were fixed in 10% formalin or 2% paraformaldehyde and subsequently paraffin embedded and sectioned. Sections for histopathology were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, or Periodic Acid Schiff's reagent. ...
متن کاملDevelopmental expression patterns of mouse sFRP genes encoding members of the secreted frizzled related protein family
Development of the metanephric kidney is an experimental model system to analyze interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells and mesenchymal-epithelial transition. To study the underlying genetic mechanisms we employed organ culture and differential display PCR to identify genes regulated upon induction of mesenchymal cells. One of the genes found encodes the secreted frizzled related...
متن کاملExpression and regulation of Schlafen (SLFN) family members in primary human monocytes, monocyte-derived dendritic cells and T cells
Schlafen (SLFN/Slfn) family members have been investigated for their involvement in fundamental cellular processes including growth regulation, differentiation and control of viral replication. However, most research has been focused on the characterization of Slfns within the murine system or in human cell lines. Since little is known about SLFNs in primary human immune cells, we set out to an...
متن کاملThe Effects of Lithium Chloride on Survival and Function of in Vitro Cultured Human Granulosa Cells
Purpose: To investigate the effect of lithium chloride (LiCl) on survival and functional activity of in vitro cultured human granulosa cells (GCs). Materials and Methods: GCs were isolated from follicular fluid of women undergoing IVF/ICSI. After RBCs removal, GCs were plated in a medium containing varying concentrations of LiCl including 1, 2 and 5mM for two weeks period. A culture without Li...
