down-regulation of cd14 transcripts in human glioblastoma cell line u87 mg
Authors
abstract
background: pattern recognition receptors (prrs) are the main sensors of pathogen and danger signals in innate immunity of which toll like receptors (tlrs) are the most studied ones. the contribution of prrs in cerebral inflammation induced by microbial infection, tissue damage and cancer has not extensively been addressed so far. glioma is the most common tumor of the central nervous system and glioblastomas are the most common and most malignant primary brain tumors. objective: the objectives of the present study were to investigate the expression of several prrs including tlr2, tlr4, myd88 and cd14 transcripts in human glioblastoma cell line u87 mg and compare their expression level with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) obtained from healthy individuals. methods: touchdown pcr (td-pcr) and realtime quantitative pcr (qpcr) were applied to detect and quantify the expression level of tlr2, tlr4, myd88 and cd14 transcript in u87 mg cell line and (pbmc) of healthy individuals. results: according to our results, human glioblastoma cell line u87 mg expresses tlr2, tlr4, myd88 and cd14 transcripts in td-pcr. moreover, the quantification of the expression of these genes revealed a highly significant downregulation of cd14 and a slight up-regulation of tlr2 transcripts as compared to pbmc of healthy individuals. conclusion: the lower expression level of cd14 in human glioblastoma cell line, might have a potential implication for cd14 mediated cerebral pathology.

The effect of Citrullus colocynthis on the induction of Casp3 and Casp8 gene expression on human Glioblastoma U87 cell line
Introduction: Using in vitro MTT assay and Real-time PCR, the cytotoxicity and cell inhibition mechanism of using Citrullus colocynthis on human glioblastoma U87 cell line was investigated. Methods: The plant extract was extracted using ethanol (70%). To investigate the cytotoxic effects of Citrullus colocynthis extract on U87 cell line, 10 4 cells per well was incubated with different concentr...

Prolactin (PRL) is involved in numerous biological processes in peripheral tissues and the brain. Although numerous studies have been conducted to elucidate the signal transduction pathways associated with the PRL receptor, very few have examined the role of ion conductances in PRL actions. We used the patch-clamp technique in "whole cell" configuration and microspectrofluorimetry to investigat...
