Expression of cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Currently several studies are being carried out on various properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)however there are a few investigations about drug metabolizing properties of these cells. The aim of thisstudy was to measure the key factors involved in drug metabolism in human bone marrow MSCs. For thispurpose, cellular glutathione (GSH), glutathione Stransferase (GSTs) and cytochrome P450 class 3A4(CYP3A4) were detected in these cells. Results showed that CYP3A4 and GSTA1-1 mRNA are not detectable in MSCs however mRNA specific for GSTP1-1 was considerably expressed in MSCs. GSH content and GST activity was also detected in MSCs. These data suggest that human bone marrow MSCs possess the drug metabolizing activity which may be useful in handling drugs and chemotherapeutic agents passing to the bone marrow.

Cytochrome p450 and glutathione s-transferase mRNA expression in human fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells.
During fetal development, the liver serves as the primary hematopoietic organ in which hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) capable of initiating long-term hematopoiesis comprise a large proportion of the hepatic cell population. Although HSC are potential targets for transplacental chemicals, little is known regarding their xenobiotic biotransformation ability. We quantitated the steady-state mRNA e...

PURPOSE The cytochrome P-450 (CYP) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme systems may influence the biological effects of carcinogens, including estrogens. As such, these enzymes may predict the developmental risk of breast cancer, as well as be potential targets for chemoprevention. The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of GST-Pi and CYPs 1A1, 2B6, 2E1, and 3A4 in paired ...

Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...
full textHarvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells
In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...

Objective(s) The use of co-culture cells as well as extra cellular matrix are among those strategies that have been employed to direct mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) bone differentiation in culture. In this regard, there is no study considering the effects of Matrigel on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in vitro bone differentiation. This was the subject of the present study. Materials and Methods ...
full textComparative Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Human Bone Marrow and Wharton’s Jelly
Introduction: Bone marrow (BM) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are used for cell therapy. This study attempts to identify if the Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) is a suitable substitute for BM as a source for MSCs. Materials and Methods: A population of human WJ and BM stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific MSC markers....
