Genotoxic and antiapoptotic effect of nicotine on human gingival fibroblasts.
Growing evidence suggests that nicotine, the addictive component of cigarettes, can have a direct role in tumor development by enhancing cell proliferation and impairing apoptotic process in certain types of human cancer cell lines. Since the correlation between apoptosis and DNA damage is already well documented, we investigated the response of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) to nicotine exp...
متن کاملMechanical force regulation of myofibroblast differentiation in cardiac fibroblasts.
The myocardium responds to chronic pressure or volume overload by activation and proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and their differentiation into myofibroblasts. Because alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression is the classical marker for myofibroblast differentiation, we examined force-induced SMA expression and regulation by specific MAPK pathways. Rat cardiac fibroblasts were separated ...
متن کاملMyofibroblast differentiation of normal human keratocytes and hTERT, extended-life human corneal fibroblasts.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether TGFbeta induces myofibroblast differentiation in cultured human keratocytes and in telomerase (hTERT)-immortalized human corneal fibroblast cell lines. METHODS Normal human corneal keratocytes were isolated from donor corneas of various ages and grown under serum-free (cultured keratocytes) or serum-added (corneal fibroblasts) conditi...
متن کاملLovastatin inhibits TGF-beta-induced myofibroblast transdifferentiation in human tenon fibroblasts.
PURPOSE The transdifferentiation of Tenon fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is a pivotal step in filtering bleb scarring. It is mediated by the cytokine TGF-beta, Rho-dependent contractility, and cell-matrix interactions in an interdependent fashion. HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitors (statins) have been shown to inhibit Rho-GTPase signaling; therefore, the authors studied the influence of lovastatin on ...
متن کاملCEMP1 Induces Transformation in Human Gingival Fibroblasts
Cementum Protein 1 (CEMP1) is a key regulator of cementogenesis. CEMP1 promotes cell attachment, differentiation, deposition rate, composition, and morphology of hydroxyapatite crystals formed by human cementoblastic cells. Its expression is restricted to cementoblasts and progenitor cell subpopulations present in the periodontal ligament. CEMP1 transfection into non-osteogenic cells such as ad...
