normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 one of the prominent types of connective tissue cells is fibroblast that synthesizes and maintains the extracellular matrix of many animal tissues. previous studies illustrated that calprotectin protein has different cytotoxicity effects on fibroblast cells. calprotectin is abundant in the neutrophil cytosol; it has growth...

Dihydroactinidiolide (1) and a mixture of sterols [campesterol (2), stigmasterol (3) and beta-sitosterol (4)], together with the previously isolated individual compounds beta-sitosterol (4), 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (5), alpha-tocopherol (6), phytol (7) were isolated from the active ethyl acetate fraction of Pereskia bleo (Kunth) DC. (Cactaceae) leaves. Cytotoxic activities of the above mentione...

Achillea eriophora D.C. (Asteraceae), an endemic species in Iran, is used extensively in Iranian folk medicine to treat various ailments, including gastrointestinal disorders, skin inflammations and wound healing. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of the methanolic extract of  A. eriophora leaves on the stimulation of human fibroblast cell proliferation and migration as two ...

Epithelial cells obtained from normal human urothelium, a cell line derived from a papillary bladder carcinoma, and cells derived from an invasive carcinoma were grown in a serum-free fully defined medium. The interaction between these cell types and normal bladder stromal cells obtained by explant culture in serum were investigated in mixed cultures. These studies showed that normal urothelium...

background: photodynamic therapy (pdt) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. in this study, the epidermoid carcinoma cell line a431 and the normal fibroblasts were used to investigate whether gold nanoparticles (gnps) can induce an increase in cell death during pdt using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala) as a photosensitizer. methods: human fibroblast a...

Objective(s): To elucidate the effects and potential mechanisms of hypericin-photodynamic therapy (HYP-PDT) for treating the human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) MH7A cell-line. Materials and Methods: MH7A cells were subjected to HYP-PDT intervention and apoptosis was evaluated via MTT, nuclear staining, and flowcytometry analyses. Intracellular reactive oxygen spec...

this study was designed to examine the effects of retinoic acid adding to cumulus and/or fibroblast cellsmonolayer on the development of mouse early embryos. one-cell mouse embryos were obtained from nmrimice after superovulation by an intraperitoneal injection of 5 iu equine chorionic gonadotrophin (ecg)followed 48 hrs later by 5 iu human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg). mouse embryonic fibrobla...

To investigate the mechanism of lidocaine in inhibiting proliferation, migration and invasion breast cancer cells. Human cell line Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 cells were treated with lidocaine. Cell proliferation was detected by 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide, Transwell, microRNA-495-3p expression quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction fibroblast growth factor 9, cyc...

PURPOSE Transmembrane CD34 glycoprotein is the most important marker for identification, isolation and enumeration of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We aimed in this study to clone the cDNA coding for human CD34 from KG1a cell line and stably express in mouse fibroblast cell line NIH-3T3. Such artificial cell line could be useful as proper immunogen for production of mouse monoclonal antibodi...
