Production of mucopolysaccharides by normal and transformed cells.

چکیده
The rate of hyaluronic acid and sulfated mucopolysaccharide production was measured for hamster embryo fibroblasts and for general oncogenic lines derived by virus transformation. A striking increase in both the rate of hyaluronic acid synthesis and the amount of cell-associated polymer was observed after transformation by herpes simplex type-2 or SV40 virus. Although no corresponding change was observed for the sulfated polysaccharides, the proportion of heparan sulfate increased significantly after transformation.

Evaluation of silica nanoparticles cytotoxicity (20-40 nm) on cancerous epithelial cell (A549) and fibroblasts cells of human normal lung fibroblast (MRC5)
Introduction: Silica nanoparticles have received more attraction in medical and industrial applications due to their unique properties such as small size, the possibility of surface functionalization, ease of production, and low cost. So, it is necessary to study the respiratory toxicity of occupational exposure due to the production and increasing use of silica nanoparticles, especially in the...
متن کاملThe effect of dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate on synthesis of sulfated acid mucopolysaccharides by transformed fibroblasts.
The effect of dibutyryl-cyclic adenosine 3’,5’-monophosphate and theophylline on the incorporation of [%]sulfate into acid mucopolysaccharides by 3T3 and SV3T3 fibroblasts has been studied. SV40 transformation of 3T3 fibroblasts produced a marked decrease in the rate of synthesis of acid mucopolysaccharides, in agreement with the data of others. When the transformed cells were grown in medium s...

Differences between normal and transformed cells in tumorigenicity and growth control in vitro are thought to be correlated with differences in the structure of the cell surface (1-4) . For this reason a number of cytochemical studies have been made lately in order to elucidate the ultrastructure of the cell membrane and to find consistent differences between normal and transformed cells . A nu...

Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of glycoprotein hormones family consist of two different non-covalently heterodimeric chains: alpha and beta subunits with 92 and 145 amino acids respectively. This hormone plays an important role in human reproduction and physiology especially for maintenance of the corpus luteum during the first months of pregnancy Materials and Metho...

The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...
