Normal rat lymphocytes and cells of 2 highly invasive tumors, the L5222 rat leukemia and the VW rabbit carcinoma, were inoculated in vitro on the mesothelial surface of the visceral wall of the rat embryo yolk sac. After 48 h, lymphocytes, without any damage being inflicted on the mesothelial cells, had penetrated deeply into the yolk sac wall, whereas both kinds of cancer cells had destroyed the mesothelial cells, but not advanced beyond the basal lamina. 相似文献

The steel factor (SLF) and c-Kit growth factor/receptor pair are key molecules governing mast cell development and survival. SLF is expressed on stromal cells as a membrane-bound molecule (mSLF) which can be cleaved by proteases to release a soluble form (sSLF). We investigated the importance of phospholipase C (PLC) activation in mast cells stimulated by sSLF and mSLF. PLC antagonists U73122, neomycin sulfate and oleic acid inhibited mast cell thymidine incorporation stimulated by mSLF, but not by sSLF. These antagonists suppressed sSLF-induced Ca2+ transients but did not significantly interfere with c-Kit phosphorylation or PLC-gamma2 recruitment. p85, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), was found to be efficiently recruited to c-Kit following stimulation by sSLF or mSLF. However PKB/Akt, a kinase activated by PI3-kinase products, was phosphorylated following sSLF stimulation, but not with mSLF. Taken together, these studies demonstrate the importance of PLC activation by mSLF in supporting mast cells. 相似文献

Killing cancer by targeting genes that cancer cells have lost: allele-specific inhibition,a novel approach to the treatment of genetic disorders 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Oligonucleotide-based drugs are now rapidly establishing themselves as an important tool in both research and treatment of genetic disorders. In the past many problems were encountered in using antisense oligonucleotides. Our expanding knowledge and new oligonucleotide chemistries are giving us the chance to treat serious genetic disorders such as cancer in novel, elegant and effective ways not previously possible. In addition, recent knowledge about RNA interference may add to these new approaches for disease treatment with oligonucleotide-based drugs. In this review we discuss one such novel therapeutic strategy against cancer called allele-specific inhibition (ASI). ASI is an approach where cancer cells are attacked at one of the few widely occurring and consistently weak points: the loss of large segments of DNA. Oligonucleotide-based drugs may provide the required selectivity for this therapeutic approach. 相似文献

Small pieces of peripheral nerve, skeletal muscle or submandibular gland, taken from young or new-born mice, were grafted into the non-transected spinal cord of young albino mice, at the thoracic level, through a punctiform meningeal opening. Neighbouring intraspinal nerve fibres, severed during the grafting process, regenerate into and eventually throughout the transplants. In this regenerative process, sedentary or migrating Schwann cells of the transplants probably have a prominent influence in guiding the growth of the axonal sprouts they ensheathe and eventually myelinate. 相似文献

Four novel proteins (phoratoxins C–F) have been isolated from the North American mistletoe Phoradendron tomentosum. The amino acid sequences of these phoratoxins were determined unambiguously using a combination of Edman degradation and
trypsin enzymatic digestion, and by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry sequencing. Phoratoxins C, E and F consist
of 46 amino acid residues; and phoratoxin D of 41. All proteins had six cysteines, similar to the earlier described phoratoxins
A and B, which are thionins. The cytotoxicity of each protein was evaluated in a human cell line panel that represented several
cytotoxic drug-resistance mechanisms. For the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50 values) of the different cell lines in the panel, correlation with those of standard drugs was low. The most potent cytotoxic
phoratoxin C was further tested on primary cultures of human tumor cells from patients. The solid tumor samples from breast
cancer cells were 18 times more sensitive to phoratoxin C than the tested hematological tumor samples.
