Generation of a Felinized Swine Endothelial Cell Line by Expression of Feline Decay-Accelerating Factor
Embryonic stem cell research has facilitated the generation of many cell types for the production of tissues and organs for both humans and companion animals. Because ≥30% of pet cats suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), xenotransplantation between pigs and cats has been studied. For a successful pig to cat xenotransplant, the immune reaction must be overcome, especially hyperacute rejecti...
متن کاملEffect of different concentrations of leukemia inhibitory factor on gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A in trophoblast Tumor Cell Line
Background: Several studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is one of the most important cytokinesparticipating in the process of embryo implantation and pregnancy, while, the role of this factor on vascular endothelialfactor-A (VEGF-A), as one of the most important angiogenic factor, has not been fully investigated yet. The aimof this study was to evaluate th...
متن کاملDecay - Accelerating Factor - Release from Cell Membrane
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) ~ is a membrane protein that inhibits amplification of the complement cascade on cell surfaces. By binding to C3b or C4b complement fragments that accidentally deposit on the cell membrane, DAF blocks the assembly of both the classical and alternative C3 and C5 convertases (1-3). In this manner, DAF protects host cells from damage by autologous complement. DAF is...
متن کاملViral cell entry induced by cross-linked decay-accelerating factor.
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) mediates cellular attachment for many human picornaviruses. In most cases, viral binding to DAF is itself insufficient to permit cell infectivity, with a second, functional internalization receptor being required to facilitate this process. Previously, we postulated that the role of DAF in enterovirus cell infection is as a sequestration receptor, maintaining a r...
متن کاملStatin-Induced Expression of Decay-Accelerating Factor Protects Vascular Endothelium
Complement-mediated vascular injury is important in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction. Because recent evidence shows that statins have beneficial effects on endothelial cell (EC) function independent of lipid lowering, we explored the hypothesis that statins modulate vascular EC resistance to complement through the upregulation of complement-inhibitory proteins. H...
