BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the relationship between miR-506 and proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS MiR-506 mimics, inhibitor, and negative control (NC) were transfected into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Cell proliferation, cell counting, colony formation assay, and Transwell assay were applied to evaluate the proliferation and migration...

Clonogenic assay or colony formation assay is an in vitro cell survival assay based on the ability of a single cell to grow into a colony. The colony is defined to consist of at least 50 cells. The assay essentially tests every cell in the population for its ability to undergo ‘‘unlimited’’ division. Clonogenic assay is the method of choice to determine cell reproductive death after treatment w...

Background: The complex process of spermatogenesis is regulated by various factors. Studies on spermatogonial stem cells have provided a very important tool to improve herd genetic and different field. 0.2 to 0.3 percent of total cells of seminiferous tubules consist of spermatogonial stem cells. To investigate and biomanipulate these cells, first the proliferation and viability rate of cells s...

introduction genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human t cell lymphotropic virus (htlv) type i infection. in the present study we investigate the association between gm-csf gene polymorphisms with the outcome of htlv-i infection. materials and methods we analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating fa...

To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of vitexicarpin on biological behavior colorectal cancer cells is objective study. The human epithelial cell line Caco-2 were divided into control group, low, middle high dose groups vitexicarpin, plasmid cloning DNA-circ_0000419 DNA anti-microRNA-224 anti-microRNA-224-negative vitexicarpin+small interfering-circ_0000419 group vitexicarpin+micro...

The possible pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the production of acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura (AATP) were investigated in a group of patients with this disorder. Absence of megakaryocytes and small platelet glycoprotein-bearing mononuclear cells, as determined by immunochemical staining of patient marrows with an antisera to platelet glycoproteins, suggested that the ...

In vitro radiation survival of peripheral blood T lymphocytes was studied in 1 5 clinically normal adults and 4 patients with Fanconi’s anemia. Tritiated thymidine incorporation in a whole blood lymphocyte stimulation test (1ST) and a newly developed whole blood T-lymphocyte colony assay were used to measure lymphocyte blastogenesis and colony formation in response to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) o...

A variety of solid and hematological human tumors and normal human bone marrow specimens were assayed for colony formation in a short-term soft-agar culture system. The effect of human fibroblast, lymphoid, and myeloid interferons on inhibition of colony formation was assessed. The effect of interferon on colony formation formed a continuum from complete inhibition to stimulation of growth. Of ...
