Interaction of B16 malignant melanoma tumor cells with the murine mesentery in vitro.

Interaction of B16 Malignant Melanoma Tumor Cells with the Murine Mesentery i/i Vitro

We have used organ cultures of murine mesentery as a model system to investigate the mechanisms by which B16-1 II) melanoma cells invade normal tissues. The mesentery has the advantage of being a real tissue, consisting of a loose connective tissue, containing a normal complement ut' strinimi cells and extracellular matrix, covered by a continuous epithe lium of squamous mesothelial cells which...

Multiple Low Doses of 5-Fluorouracil Diminishes Immunosuppression by Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in Murine Melanoma Model

Background: Melanoma progression and metastasis is suggested to be mediated by increased accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells. Various chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-Fluorouracil in single low concentration have the capacity, at least in part, to reverse tumor progression by reducing myeloid derived suppressor cellsmediated immunosuppression. Objective: To assess whether multiple ...

The role of microRNA-30a and downstream snail1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma tumor

Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression.  In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...

Evaluation of antioxidant and anti-melanogenic activities of different extracts from aerial parts of Nepeta binaludensis Jamzad in murine melanoma B16F10 cells

Objective(s): Nepeta binaludensis Jamzad (Lamiaceae) has been used in folk medicine of Iran to cure various diseases. The plant is an endemic species to the country that has recently been identified in Razavi Khorasan province. To evaluate the antioxidant and anti-melanogenesis of N. binaludensis, in this study the inhibitory activity of different extracts of N. binaludensis in murine melanoma ...

Use of Mycobacterium vaccae (SRLI72) as an Immunomodulating Agent in Association with Murine Melanoma Model B16-F10
