چکیده
The growth of transitional epithelial cells with different growth media and growth supports was examined. Sephadex G-10, Bio-Gel P-20, Bio-Glas-1000, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, DEAE-cellulose, CM-Sephadex C-50, acid-soluble collagen, and immobilized collagen fibers were used to enhance plating efficiency. Acid-soluble collagen layers optimally increased the plating efficiency of primary cultures of bladder carcinoma. Media alterations with serial combinations of fetal calf, newborn calf, calf, bovine, and bull serum with minimum essential medium, Roswell Park Memorial Institute Tissue Culture Medium 1640, Connaught Medical Research Laboratories Medium 1066, Medium 199, Grand Island Biological, National Cancer Tissue Culture 135, 1415, McCoy's 5A, and National Cancer Institute medium were established. No promotion of cell division was noted with any one of these basic medium formulations.

Animal Models for Basic and Preclinical Research in Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. In 2006, there were about 61,240 diagnosed cases of bladder cancer and approximately 13,060 deaths attributable to this disease, being the prevalence estimated worldwide more than 1,000,000 patients (Jemal et al., 2006; Lerner, 2005). Taking into account that its incidence seems to be increasing, bladder cancer is clearly a signific...
متن کاملReview Article: Application of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy in Bladder Cancer Screening
Introduction Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy in elderly people and most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (TCC). Bladder pathology is usually investigated visually by cystoscopy and this technique can represent different conditions ranging from simple inflammation to flat CIS. However, biopsies must be taken from the suspected area to obtain diagnostic information. T...
متن کاملEvaluating the Expression of Oct4 as a Prognostic Tumor Marker in Bladder Cancer
Objective(s)The key transcriptional regulator Oct4 is one of the self-renewal and differentiation-related factors in cancer stem cells, where it maintains "stemness" state. Cancer stem cells have been identified in a variety of solid malignancies. They are a small population of tumor cells with stem cell characteristics, which are a likely cause of relapse in cancer patients. Due to high incide...
متن کاملNanotechnology application in cancer treatment
Chemotherapy has been the main known treatment for cancer diseases. However, its achievement rate remains low, mainly because of the restricted accessibility of drugs to the tumor tissue, their painful toxicity, and development of multi-drug resistance. In recent years, either better understanding of tumor biology or development of the ever-growing field of nanotechnology has proposed new treat...
متن کاملDysregulated Expression of Long Intergenic Non-coding RNAs (LincRNAs) in Urothelial Bladder Carcinoma
Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) has been introduced as key regulators of diverse biological processes, including transcription, chromatin organization, cell growth and tumorigenesis. With regard to the potential role of lincRNAs in cancer development, one may postulate that differential expression of lincRNAs could be employed as a tool in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and targeted ther...
