Evaluation of Neurogenic Potential of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Cells a Time- and Concentration- Dependent Manner
Background: Retinoic acid as one of the most important regulators for cell differentiation was examined in this study for differentiation of human umbilical mesenchymal cells (hUCM). Methods: After isolation, hUCM were evaluated for mesenchymal stem cell properties by flow cytometry and alkaline phosphatase assay. Also, doubling time of the cells and their differentiation potential into adipoge...
متن کاملNitric oxide and endothelin in oxygen-dependent regulation of vascular tone of human umbilical vein.
We investigated the possible contribution of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET) to oxygen-dependent regulation of human umbilical vein vascular tone by simultaneous registration of intracellular membrane potential and isometric tension of vessel strips with and without NO synthase inhibition [10-4 M N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)], ETA receptor blockade (10(-5) M BQ-123), or ...
متن کاملEffect of captopril on radiation-induced TGF-β1 secretion in EA.Hy926 human umbilical vein endothelial cells
The pathophysiological mechanism involved in the sustained endothelial secretion of cytokines that leads to fibrosis 6-16 months after radiotherapy remains unclear. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is produced by the endothelium in response to stressing stimuli, like radiation, and may induce the synthesis of TGF-β, a profibrotic cytokine. In this study we tested the hypothesis that captopril, an angiot...
متن کاملEpigallocatechin-3-gallate Regulates Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is a main enzyme producing nitric oxide during inflammation and thus contributes to the initiation and development of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major catechin derived from green tea, has multiple beneficial effects for treating cardiovascular disease, but the effect of EGCG on the e...
متن کاملRapid Stimulation of L-Arginine Transport by D-Glucose Involves p42/44 and Nitric Oxide in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelium
D-Glucose infusion and gestational diabetes induce vasodilatation in humans and increase L-arginine transport and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. High D-glucose (25 mmol/L, 2 minutes) induced membrane hyperpolarization and an increase of L-arginine transport (Vmax 6.1 0.7 versus 4.4 0.1 pmol/ g protein per minute) with no change in transport affinity (Km 1...
