Macrophage potentiation of invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma cells.
In vitro and in vivo invasive capacities of rat ascites hepatoma cells (AH 130) that had been cultured on the feeder layers of rat macrophages were examined. The in vitro invasive capacity of the tumor cells was measured by their ability to form tumor cell colonies underneath cultured mesothelial cell monolayers; in vivo invasive capacity was examined by the implantation of the tumor cells into...
متن کاملPotentiation of invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma cells by adriamycin.
The effect of Adriamycin on the invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma cells, W1, was studied. The invasive capacity of W1 cells was estimated in vitro by counting the number of penetrated single tumor cells and tumor cell colonies formed from the penetrated cells underneath a cultured mesothelial cell monolayer (H. Akedo et al., Cancer Res., 46: 2416-2422, 1986). A considerable increment of...
متن کاملPutrescine-dependent invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma cells.
The effects of inhibitors of polyamine synthesis on the invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma (LC-AH) cells were examined by in vitro assay of penetration of the LC-AH cells through a monolayer of calf pulmonary arterial endothelial (CPAE) cells. Pretreatment of LC-AH cells with alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, before seeding them onto a CPAE ce...
متن کاملEffect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture
Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...
متن کاملSuppression of the invasive capacity of rat ascites hepatoma cells by knockdown of Slingshot or LIM kinase.
Actin cytoskeletal reorganization is essential for tumor cell migration, adhesion, and invasion. Cofilin and actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) act as key regulators of actin cytoskeletal dynamics by stimulating depolymerization and severing of actin filaments. Cofilin/ADF are inactivated by phosphorylation of Ser-3 by LIM kinase-1 (LIMK1) and reactivated by dephosphorylation by Slingshot-1 (SSH...
