Signal transduction of somatostatin in human B lymphoblasts.
Somatostatin (SST) and somatostatin receptors (SSTR) are widely distributed in lymphoid tissues. Here, we report on the stimulatory effects of SST in Epstein-Barr virus-immortalized B lymphoblasts. By RT-PCR, we demonstrated the exclusive expression of the somatostatin receptor isoform 2A (SSTR2A) in B lymphoblasts. Addition of SST rapidly increased the cytosolic free calcium concentration [Ca(...
متن کاملEffect of immunosuppressive agents on human T and B lymphoblasts.
We have studied the effects of various immunosuppressive drugs on the growth of human-derived T (MOLT-4) and B (MGL-8) lymphoblasts. In addition, we have examined whether the lymphotoxic effect of any of these drugs could be attributed to inhibition of either adenosine deaminase (ADA) or purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). Results indicated that 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C), met...
متن کاملP80: Investigation of Interactions between Glucocorticoid and Opioid Receptors on Anxiety Modulation in Mice
Recent studies have shown that glucocorticoids may have modulatory effect on anxiety reactions. This effect may occur with opioid system interference. According to that, the purpose of this research is to assess the effect of dexamethasone as glucocorticoid agonist and its interaction with opioidergic system on the anxiety modulatory effect in plus maze model in mice. Male white mice with mediu...
متن کاملThe effect of heparin on the cell cycle in human B-lymphoblasts: An in vitro study.
OBJECTIVE Heparin has been shown to be a strong inhibitor of the proliferation of several cell types. In this in vitro study, we investigated whether different heparin concentrations can affect the cell cycle of lymphoblasts in newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. METHODS Lymphoblasts were incubated in different heparin concentrations (0, 10, 20 U/ml), and the percenta...
