Effect of water soluble polymer, polyethyleneglycol, and glass-forming compounds on cell fusion.
The cell fusion of Molt T-cells was investigated in the presence of water soluble polymer, polyethyleneglycol (PEG) and glass-forming monomers. In cell fusion with PEG only, inactivation of the cell occurred within 2 min. However, in the presence of PEG and water soluble polymer, most of the fused and unfused cells lived even after fusion times of more than 10 min. It was observed that water so...
متن کاملEnhancement of Xylanase Production by Protoplast Fusion of Trichoderma spp.
Filamentous fungi Trichoderma spp. are efficient hyper-producers of industrially important enzymes. Xylanases are essential hemicellulases having vast ranges of applications in the various industrial sectors. In this study, the protoplast fusion of two T. virens and </span...
متن کاملCell fusion induced senescence
senescence has long been established as a stable and irreversible growth arrest, which plays an important role in tumor suppression and tissue repair. It can be induced by various stimuli, including telomere shortening, oncogene activation and oxidative stress. We recently demonstrated that cell-cell fusion is a previously unidentified trigger for inducing cellular senescence [1]. This work was...
متن کاملEffect of Clarithromycin on Enhancement of Doxorubicin-induced Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis in A549 Tumor-Cell Line
Background and purpose: Nowadays, multi-drug regimens or combination therapy are new approaches in cancer treatment that combine two or several therapeutic agents. Combination therapy aims at improving the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs while reducing toxicity and preventing drug resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the synergistic effect of combined clarithromycin and d...
متن کاملEnhancement of Sendai Virus-mediated Cell Fusion by Cupric Ions
The effect of divalent cations on cell fusion by concentrated Sendai virus, inactivated by beta-propiolactone, was investigated using Vero and mouse L-929 cells in monolayers. With both cell lines, which are normally resistant to exogenous viral fusion, Cu(2+) in sublethal concentrations was found to promote polykaryon formation to a marked degree. The simultaneous presence of Cu(2+) and virus ...
