Determinants of human astrocytoma migration.
A unique characteristic of astrocytic malignancies is their frequent dissemination through the brain. Cellular determinants of migration include adhesion to the substratum, restructuring of the actin cytoskeleton to generate motion, and (in the setting of invasion into tissue) secretion of enzymes for remodeling interstitial space to accommodate forward motion of the migrating cell. In order to...
متن کاملAltered gene expression in drug-resistant human breast cancer cells.
It is increasingly recognized that drug-resistant cells undergo transitions not directly linked to "classical" drug resistance. We examined the expression of growth factors, growth factor receptors, and the estrogen receptor in 17 drug-resistant and 2 revertant human breast cancer sublines to provide an understanding of the phenotypic changes that occur and how these changes could affect the bi...
متن کاملAltered expression of Pax-5 gene in human myeloma cells.
Recent phenotypic analysis of plasma cells showed that normal plasma cells do express the B-cell lineage-specific molecule CD19, but their malignant counterpart (myeloma cells) are CD19-. To clarify the meaning of loss of CD19 antigen on myeloma cells, we first compared the expression of CD19 and Pax-5 genes among B cells, normal plasma cells, myeloma cell lines, and primary myeloma cells, beca...
متن کاملGene Expression Profile of Adherent Cells Derived From Human Peripheral Blood: Evidence of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a novel option in cellular therapy and tissue engineering. Recent studies indicated that it is possible to obtain MSCs from peripheral blood by attachment ability to plastic surface. To evaluate adherent cells derived from peripheral blood, their expression profile and surface markers were investigated. The results of RT-PCR indicated that these cells expre...
متن کاملTranscription factor AP-2 regulates human apolipoprotein E gene expression in astrocytoma cells.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE), one of the major plasma lipoproteins, also is expressed in a variety of cell types, including the glial cells of the nervous system. apoE is involved in processes of degeneration and regeneration after nerve lesions as well as in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Glial synthesis of apoE is activated in response to injury both in the peripheral and central ne...
