Transforming growth factor beta1 modulates cell migration in rat cortex: effects of ethanol.
Transforming growth factor (TGF) beta1 regulates cell migration of non-neural cells. Hence, two hypotheses were tested: (i) that TGFbeta1 affects cell migration and the expression of associated adhesion proteins in developing cortex; and (ii) that these effects are antagonized by ethanol. The effects of TGFbeta1 (2.5-40 ng/ml) and ethanol (400 mg/dl) on cell migration were examined in organotyp...
متن کاملLaminar Organization of Cerebral Cortex in Transforming Growth Factor Beta Mutant Mice
Transforming growth factor betas (TGF?s) are one of the most widespread and versatile cytokines. The three mammalian TGF? isoforms, ?1, ?2, and ?3, and their receptors regulate proliferation of neuronal precursors as well as survival and differentiation in neurons of developing and adult nervous system. Functions of TGF?s has a wide spectrum ranging from regulating cell proliferation and differ...
متن کاملCharacterization of an Interesting Novel Mutant Strain of Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The yeast strains that are resistant to high concentration of ethanol have biotechnological benefits and aresuitable models for physiology and molecular genetics research fields. A novel ethanol-tolerant mutant strain,mut1, derived from the commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed higher ethanol production, and alsodemonstrated resistance to ethanol but not to other alcohols...
متن کاملImatinib mesylate attenuates myocardial remodeling through inhibition of platelet-derived growth factor and transforming growth factor activation in a rat model of hypertension.
Imatinib mesylate is a specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor that may block the platelet-derived growth factor and transforming growth factor pathways. These pathways are known to provoke fibroblast activation. We evaluated whether imatinib, by inhibiting these pathways, prevents diastolic dysfunction and attenuates myocardial remodeling using spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Eight-week-old...
متن کاملAcute ethanol increases angiogenic growth factor gene expression in rat skeletal muscle.
Moderate ethanol consumption demonstrates a protective effect against cardiovascular disease and improves insulin sensitivity, possibly through angiogenesis. We investigated whether 1) ethanol would increase skeletal muscle growth factor gene expression and 2) the effects of ethanol on skeletal muscle growth factor gene expression were independent of exercise-induced growth factor gene expressi...
