Ligand accumulation in autocrine cell cultures.
Cell-culture assays are routinely used to analyze autocrine signaling systems, but quantitative experiments are rarely possible. To enable the quantitative design and analysis of experiments with autocrine cells, we develop a biophysical theory of ligand accumulation in cell-culture assays. Our theory predicts the ligand concentration as a function of time and measurable parameters of autocrine...
متن کاملLigand trapping in epithelial layers and cell cultures.
We analyze a stochastic model that describes receptor-mediated ligand trapping in epithelial layers and cell culture assays. In both cases, the problem is reduced to diffusion of a Brownian particle between the partially absorbing and reflective surfaces. We derive an analytical expression for the spatial distribution of the trapping points and identify the domains of applicability of the two l...
متن کاملAutocrine signal transmission with extracellular ligand degradation.
Traveling waves of cell signaling in epithelial layers orchestrate a number of important processes in developing and adult tissues. These waves can be mediated by positive feedback autocrine loops, a mode of cell signaling where binding of a diffusible extracellular ligand to a cell surface receptor can lead to further ligand release. We formulate and analyze a biophysical model that accounts f...
متن کاملExtracellular accumulation of pyrroles in bacterial cultures.
Aerobacter aerogenes, Paracolobactrum aerogenoides, Spirillum serpens, and gelatinous strains of Chromobacterium violaceum produced an extracellular, ether-soluble, Ehrlich-positive substance when grown in media prepared with gelatin hydrolysate. The substance has been tentatively identified as pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid. Both hydroxy-l-proline and allo-d-hydroxyproline have been shown to be pre...
متن کاملSoluble CD40 ligand induces selective proliferation of lymphoma cells in primary mantle cell lymphoma cell cultures.
Interaction between CD40 and the CD40 ligand (CD40L) is critical for the survival and proliferation of B cells during immunopoiesis. However, the role of CD40L in the pathogenesis of malignant lymphomas is ambiguous. Primary mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells were cultured in the presence of recombinant human CD40L trimer (huCD40LT), and a significant time- and dose-dependent induction of DNA syn...
