[ 1 ] - Expression Pattern of Neuronal Markers in PB-MSCs Treated by Growth Factors Noggin, bFGF and EGF
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the ability to differentiate into neuronal like cells under appropriate culture condition. In this study, we investigated whether MSCs derived from human peripheral blood (PB-MSCs) can differentiate into neuronal like cells by synergic effect of the growth factors EGF, bFGF and Noggin. For this purpose, the expression of five neuronal markers (Nestin, &beta II...
[ 2 ] - Immunophenotypic and Immunotypic Evalua-tions of Human Myeloma Cell Lines KMM-1, JJN3, LP1, L363, KMS-12BM and RPMI-8226 for Cell-Line Authentication
Background: The disease-associated cell lines used in the majority of preclinical trials should be first authenticated and identified to avoid directing research expenditure on wrong cells and obtaining irrelevant results. The present study evaluated the immunophenotypic and immunotypic authenticity of six human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs). Materials and Methods: Cytospin smear and Wright staini...
[ 3 ] - Investigating the inhibitory effect of miR-34a, miR-449a, miR-1827, and miR-106b on target genes including NOTCH1, c-Myc, and CCND1 in human T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia clinical samples and cell line
Objective(s): microRNAs are small non-coding molecules that regulate gene expression in various biological processes. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy accompanied with genetic aberrations and accounts for 20% of children’s and adult’s ALL. Notch signaling pathway dysregulation occurs in 60% of T-ALL cases. In the present study, we aimed to de...
[ 4 ] - Inhibitory effect of Cinnamon on prevention of foam cell formation in platelet and monocytes co-culture
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Following endothelial damage and platelet aggregation in that area and the recruitment of monocytes and their conversion to macrophages, LDL gradually accumulates under the endothelial artery wall and gradually oxidized and convert to oxi-LDL. By swallowing it, the macrophages turn into foam cell and then athe...
