Hyperglycemia- Induced NF-κB Activation Increases microRNA-146a Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Background & objectives: Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB), a master switch transcription factor, plays a critical role in the progression and development of hyperglycemia-induced microangiopathy. Hyperglycemia activates NF-κB, and subsequently increases pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β leading to development of inflammation. Some new studies have revealed the involvement o...
متن کاملIn Vivo Tracing of Human Umbilical Cord Matrix Stem Cells Useing MRI
Purpose: Human umbilical cord matrix (UCM) (Wharton jelly) stem cells labeling are tracking by MRI. Materials and Methods: After 48 hours incubation with USPIO human umbilical cord matrix (UCM) stem cells were labeled with USPIO by the means of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Prussian blue staining and Atomic absorption spectroscopy were performed to identify and show the iron oxide nanoparticle...
متن کاملEnvironmental 50Hz Magnetic Fields Can Increase Viability of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)
Introduction Over the last decades, considerable levels of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been characterized in the living environment. Recent epidemiological studies on occupational and residential exposure to EMF have shown that 50/60 Hz fields, known as extremely low frequencies (ELF), have various biological effects, such as angiogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of en...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic Effects of Metformin, an AMPK Activator, on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells and on Granulation Tissue in Rat
Objective(s)Metformin is well known for activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK activation inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as a key signaling process in cell proliferation. Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate that metformin lowers the risk for several types of cancer in diabetic patients. Concerning the critical role of angiogenesis in the incidence and prog...
متن کاملHuman Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells Secrete Transcobalamin
Transcobalamin II (TC Ill is essential for cellular uptake of cobalamin. However, t h e origin of this t ransport protein is controversial and many organ sources have been suggested. We studied human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured in vitro. The cells contained T C II (2.3 pmol/108 cells) and released progressively increasing amounts of t h e protein into t h e surrounding medium duri...
