Neurokinin-1 Receptor Signalling Impacts Bone Marrow Repopulation Efficiency
Tachykinins are a large group of neuropeptides with both central and peripheral activity. Despite the increasing number of studies reporting a growth supportive effect of tachykinin peptides in various in vitro stem cell systems, it remains unclear whether these findings are applicable in vivo. To determine how neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) deficient hematopoietic stem cells would behave in a n...
متن کاملBone Marrow Transplantation in Thalassemia (Part 1)
During the last two decades conventional therapy has improved the prognosis of thalassemia. However, despite such improvement it still remains a progressive disease with treatment-related complications such as hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cardiac disease. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) can prevent or delay progression of the aforementioned complications. The importance of clinical research...
متن کاملNeurokinin-1 receptor resensitization precedes receptor recycling.
Following agonist binding, neurokinin-1 receptors undergo rapid desensitization followed by internalization and recycling. Desensitization requires receptor phosphorylation but does not require internalization, whereas resensitization is thought to require internalization and recycling. Our previous data, however, have suggested that, following activation and desensitization, the return of resp...
متن کاملThe Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases
Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...
متن کاملCytotoxic and apoptotic effects of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) antagonist on multiple myeloma cells
Background and Aim: Despite therapeutic improvements in recent decades, multiple myeloma (MM) still remains as one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Previous studies have indicated role of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) in the pathogenesis of cancer. Therefore, we decided to evaluate cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of aprepitant (NK1R antagonist) on MM-derived KMM-1 cell line. Ma...
