Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α cells in mouse urinary bladder: a new class of interstitial cells
Specific classes of interstitial cells exist in visceral organs and have been implicated in several physiological functions including pacemaking and mediators in neurotransmission. In the bladder, Kit(+) interstitial cells have been reported to exist and have been suggested to be neuromodulators. More recently a second interstitial cell, which is identified using antibodies against platelet-de...
متن کاملPlatelet-derived growth factor receptor α-positive cells in the tunica muscularis of human colon
An obstacle to understanding motor pathologies of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is that the physiology of some of the cellular components of the gut wall is not understood. Morphologists identified fibroblast-like cells in the tunica muscularis many years ago, but little is known about these interstitial cells because of inadequate techniques to identify these cells. Recent findings have show...
متن کاملEvaluation of Chronotropic Properties of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells-Derived Cardiomyocytes After Fibroblast Growth Factor Treatment
Purpose: We investigated the effect of (bFGF) (basic-Fibroblast Growth Factor) on the differentiation of divided cardiomyocytes from mouse embryonic stem cells (ES) and their pharmacological properties. Materials and Methods: The mouse embryonic stem cells (Royan B1) were cultured as 800 cells per 20µl of a hanging drop. After two days, ES cells in each drop aggregated to form embryoid bodies ...
متن کاملBone Marrow Stromal Cell Transdifferentiation into Oligodendrocyte-Like Cells Using Triiodothyronine as a Inducer with Expression of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor α as a Maturity Marker
Background: The present study investigated the functional maturity of oligodendrocyte derived from rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC). Methods: The BMSC were isolated from female Sprague-Dawley rats and evaluated for different markers, such as fibronectin, CD106, CD90, Oct-4 and CD45. Transdifferentiation of OLC from BMSC was obtained by exposing the BMSC to DMSO and 1 µM all-trans-retinoic a...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Sarcoma Overexpressing Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor α
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is highly malignant and easily metastasizes to the systemic organs. Both the introduction of novel diagnostic procedures and the development of new treatment modalities are required to achieve long-term survival. Several studies have shown that platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) gene amplification is frequently observed in pulmonary artery sarcoma. PDGFR...
