Characterization of putrescine- and spermidine-transport systems of a rat pancreatic acinar tumoral cell line (AR4-2J).
Polyamines are polycationic molecules essential for cell growth and differentiation. Recent work has focused on cell polyamine-transport systems as a way to regulate intracellular polyamine levels. In this study, we demonstrate the presence of two different active transporters for putrescine and spermidine in a rat tumoral cell line (AR4-2J). The first has a Km of 3.1 microM and a Vmax of 3.7 p...
متن کاملCalcium oscillations in a triplet of pancreatic acinar cells.
We use a mathematical model of calcium dynamics in pancreatic acinar cells to investigate calcium oscillations in a ring of three coupled cells. A connected group of cells is modeled in two different ways: 1), as coupled point oscillators, each oscillator being described by a spatially homogeneous model; and 2), as spatially distributed cells coupled along their common boundaries by gap-junctio...
متن کاملMorphological and biological modifications induced in a rat pancreatic acinar cancer cell line (AR4-2J) by unscheduled expression of basic fibroblast growth factors.
The role of the different basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) forms on the regulation of pancreatic acinar cancer cells was analyzed on the rat cell line AR4-2J. This cell line expresses bFGF receptors but does not produce bFGF. AR4-2J cells were retrovirally transfected with the wild type or with point-mutated bFGF complementary DNAs in order to obtain the expression of all the bFGF forms (c...
متن کاملMuscarinic receptor coupling to intracellular calcium release in rat pancreatic acinar carcinoma.
Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cholinergic receptor protein affinity labeled with the muscarinic antagonist [3H]propylbenzilylcholine mustard revealed a major polypeptide with molecular weight of 80,000-83,000 in both acinar carcinoma and normal acinar cells of rat pancreas. Muscarinic receptor protein is therefore conserved in pancreatic acinar carcino...
متن کاملToll-Like Receptor 9 in Breast Cancer
Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is a cellular DNA receptor of the innate immune system. DNA recognition via TLR9 results in an inflammatory reaction, which eventually also activates a Th1-biased adaptive immune attack. In addition to cells of the immune system, TLR9 mRNA and protein are also widely expressed in breast cancer cell lines and in clinical breast cancer specimens. Although synthetic TLR...
