Novel neurotrophic factor secreted by amniotic epithelial cells.
By virtue of expressions of glial and neural surface markers and capability of neurotransmitter metabolism, amniotic epithelial cells are considered as candidate cell type for transplantation strategies to treat neurological disorders. Previously, we have reported neurotrophism exhibited by human amniotic epithelial cells when transplanted after spinal cord injury in bonnet monkeys. Amniotic ep...
متن کاملInhibition of prostatic epithelial cell proliferation by a factor secreted specifically by prostatic stromal cells.
Stromal cells from the prostate were recently shown to inhibit clonal growth of the prostatic carcinoma cell lines PC-3 (hormone-independent) and LNCaP (hormone-sensitive) in coculture. Our study revealed that stromal cell-conditioned medium strongly inhibited proliferation of PC-3 and LNCaP cells when grown in monolayer culture. Antiproliferative activity was found to be reversible, and was pr...
متن کاملConjunctiva reconstruction by induced differentiation of human amniotic epithelial cells.
In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of directed differentiation of human amniotic epithelial cells into conjunctival epithelium under specific conditions as well as of constructing tissue-engineered conjunctiva for ocular surface reconstruction. Human amniotic epithelial cells were cultured with induced denuded conjunctival matrix and conjunctival homogenate. Immunohistochemi...
متن کاملBrain-derived neurotrophic factor modulates intestinal barrier by inhibiting intestinal epithelial cells apoptosis in mice.
We aimed to investigate the effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and alterations of intestinal barrier integrity using BDNF knock-out mice model. Colonic tissues from BDNF(+/+) mice and BDNF(+/-) mice were prepared for this study. The integrity of colonic mucosa was evaluated by measuring trans-mucosa electrical resistance and ti...
متن کاملStem cell characteristics of amniotic epithelial cells.
Amniotic epithelial cells develop from the epiblast by 8 days after fertilization and before gastrulation, opening the possibility that they might maintain the plasticity of pregastrulation embryo cells. Here we show that amniotic epithelial cells isolated from human term placenta express surface markers normally present on embryonic stem and germ cells. In addition, amniotic epithelial cells e...
