Inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation by gamma-interferon
Endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF) is a potent polypeptide mitogen for endothelial cells and fibroblasts. The mitogenic effects of ECGF are inhibited by the lymphokine gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) in a dose-dependent manner. Gamma-IFN also induces a unique change in endothelial cell morphology which is maximally expressed in the presence of ECGF. The antiproliferative and phenotypic modulato...
متن کاملInhibition of human endothelial cell proliferation by gold compounds.
Neovascularization has a role in the propagation of rheumatoid synovitis because the spread of mononuclear cell infiltration and the growth of pannus are dependent on the growth of new blood vessels. Growth of such vessels requires local endothelial cell (EC) proliferation. Inhibition of synovial EC proliferation, therefore, would have the potential to diminish rheumatoid inflammation. We have,...
متن کاملInhibition of growth of Chlamydia trachomatis by human gamma interferon.
Treatment of HEp-2 cell cultures with highly purified human gamma interferon before infection resulted in the reduction of Chlamydia trachomatis (L2/434/Bu) infectious particle yield. Electron microscope studies showed that interferon did not affect chlamydial conversion to reticulate bodies but influenced the extent of maturation to elementary bodies. High interferon concentrations (greater th...
متن کاملDexamethasone inhibition of experimental endothelial cell proliferation in retinal venules.
The observation that endothelial cell proliferation in retinal blood vessels is induced by ocular trauma in rats has been extended to mice. Indomethacin, 10 mg/kg/day, failed to block incorporation of tritiated thymidine into nuclei of venular endothelial cells in rat retinas observed 40 hr after puncturing the lens, but dexamethasone effectively suppressed tritiated thymidine incorporation, wi...
متن کاملInhibition of tumor cell mitochondrial respiration by macrophage cytotoxic mediators distinct from interferon-gamma.
Macrophage-mediated inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in EMT-6 murine mammary adenocarcinoma cells can be mimicked in vitro by treatment of the cells with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in combination with tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, or lipopolysaccharide. Conditioned supernatants obtained from activated macrophages appear to contain interferon-gamma, suggesting that inhibition of...
