profiles of mmp-2 expression in jurkat, molt-4 and u937 cells
Authors
abstract
background: leukemia is a malignant proliferative disorder of the hematopoietic cells. the important role of angiogenesis in leukemia has been reported by several studies. matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are a large group of endopeptidases which degredate the extracellular matrix and play an important role in angiogenesis. objective: the present study was conducted to evaluate the patterns of mmp-2 activity in three leukemic cell lines. methods: human leukemic monocyte (u937) and t cells (molt-4 and jurkat) were cultured in complete rpmi-1640 medium. the cells were then seeded at a density of 106 cells/ml and were incubated with different concentrations of phorbol myristate acetate (pma) (1-25 ng/ml) or phytoheamagglutinin (pha) (2-10 μg/ml) for 24 hours. the mmp-2 activity in cell-conditioned media was then evaluated by gelatin zymography. statistical comparisons between groups were made by analysis of variance (anova). results: pha/pma significantly and dose-dependently increased mmp-2 activity in u937 cells after 24 hours of incubation compared with untreated control cells. moreover, pha/pma significantly induced mmp-2 activity in molt-4 and jurkat cells after 24 hours of incubation in a dose-dependent manner compared with untreated control cells. conclusion: we conclude that human leukemic jurkat, u937 and molt-4 cells could potentially display mmp-2 activity with different degrees. thus, these cell lines could provide an appropriate system to study the mechanisms regulating mmps production in leukemia patients.

Background: Pregabalin, a selective inhibitor of voltage dependent calcium channels has been used for treatment of epilepsy, fibromyalgia, generalized anxiety disorder and especially neuropathic pains. The anti-inflammatory properties of pregabalin in some pathologic conditions like orofacial pain and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice have been reported. Effectiveness of pregabalin in treatm...
full textPatterns of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Hematopoietic Malignant Cells
Background and Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. VEGF plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Determination of the pattern of VEGF expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...

nucleostemin (ns), a stem cell-abundant nucleolar protein, is critical for maintaining the self-renewal and proliferative properties of normal and cancerous stem cells. recent data suggests that ns signaling is important for proliferation of t-cells and leukemia cells. this study was conducted to verify the role of ns in pathogenesis and treatment of t-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (t-all). o...

Background: Beta-adrenergic blocking agents have been broadly used for treatment of many cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and ischemic heart failure. Anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects of propranolol (a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker) have been shown. Angiogenesis (replenish of the pre-existing vascular networks) plays a critical role in s...
