Tumorigenesis: Cell Defense Against Hypoxia?
Microenvironmental elements can directly contribute to the induction and the maintenance of tumor. Oxygen is the main element in the cell microenvironment and hypoxia can affect the process of tumorigenesis. In response to hypoxia, cells change their pattern and characteristics. These changes suggest that it is not just adaptation, but some sort of cell defense against hypoxia. If hypoxia is co...
متن کاملCell-Mediated Defense against Infection
e principal function of the mammalian immune system is to combat infectious diseases. Immune responses to antigens and microbial pathogens are divided into those mediated by cells (i.e., cell-mediated immunity) and those mediated by antibodies (i.e., humoral immunity). e T lymphocyte, the “central player” in cell-mediated immunity, provides antigen specicity and orchestrates the antimicrobia...
متن کاملSecreted human glycyl-tRNA synthetase implicated in defense against ERK-activated tumorigenesis.
Although adaptive systems of immunity against tumor initiation and destruction are well investigated, less understood is the role, if any, of endogenous factors that have conventional functions. Here we show that glycyl-tRNA synthetase (GRS), an essential component of the translation apparatus, circulates in serum and can be secreted from macrophages in response to Fas ligand that is released f...
متن کاملEvaluation of defense strategy against Influenza A in cell line
Influenza virus can cause both seasonal infections and Background: unpredictable pandemics. Rapidly evolving avian H5N1 virus is getting increasingly infective for humans. Since avian Influenza can be transmitted by domestic birds, serving as a key link between wild aquatic birds and humans, an effective measure to control the influenza transmission would be eradication of the infection in poul...
متن کاملEco-Defense against Invasions
consumption of fish has been associated with reduced performance on tests of neurologic function in children, including tests of cogni-tive development, attention and behavior, and motor skills. A comprehensive review of the mercury literature conducted by the National Research Council (NRC) Committee on the Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury concluded that, based on the evidence available,...
