Effect of nefiracetam, a neurotransmission enhancer, on primary uroepithelial cells of the canine urinary bladder.
Repeated oral treatment of dogs with a high dose of nefiracetam is reported to induce hemorrhagic lesions in the urinary bladder. To delineate its pathogenesis, we established the primary culture of uroepithelial cells of the canine urinary bladder, and then explored the effect of nefiracetam on the cultured cells. Uroepithelial cells scraped from the connective tissues of the urinary bladder o...
متن کاملChromosomal changes in uroepithelial carcinomas
This article reviews and summarizes chromosomal changes responsible for the initiation and progression of uroepithelial carcinomas. Characterization of these alterations may lead to a better understanding of the genetic mechanisms and open the door for molecular markers that can be used for better diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Such information might even help in designing new therapeu...
متن کاملHeparin hydrogel sandwich cultures of primary hepatocytes
Long-term in vitro maintenance of primary hepatocytes has been a challenge in hepatic tissue engineering, since these cells dedifferentiate and lose their phenotype in standard culture conditions. Some of the most successful culture systems employ collagen or Matrigel matrices. As an alternative matrix, our laboratory has been exploring the use of heparincontaining hydrogels as scaffolds for cu...
متن کامل[Expansion of primary bronchial epithelial cell cultures].
OBJECTIVE Cell cultures provide a good model for studying lung diseases but they are difficult to reproduce and the number of cells obtained is limited. The aim of this study was to develop a way to increase the production of human bronchial epithelial cells (BEC) in primary cultures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 12 samples (9 from surgical specimens and 3 from endoscopic biopsies) were pr...
متن کاملPrimary Cultures of Dissociated Sympathetic Neurons
Initial studies are reported on the catecholamine metabolism of low-density cultures of dissociated primary sympathetic neurons. Radioactive tyrosine was used to study the synthesis and breakdown of catecholamines in the cultures. The dependence of catecholamine synthesis and accumulation on external tyrosine concentration was examined and a concentration which is near saturation, 30 microM, wa...
