Folate Deficiency Induces Neural Stem Cell Apoptosis by Increasing Homocysteine In Vitro
Cellular events for neural progenitor cells, such as proliferation and differentiation, are regulated by multiple intrinsic and extrinsic cell signals. Folate plays a central role in central nervous system development, so folate, as an extrinsic signal, may affect neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and differentiation. In the present study, we investigated the effects of folate deficiency on ...
متن کاملmiR-92a enhances recombinant protein productivity in CHO cells by increasing intracellular cholesterol levels.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising targets for engineering of CHO cell factories to enhance recombinant protein productivity. Manipulation of miRNA levels in CHO cells have been shown to improve product yield by increasing proliferation and specific productivity (qP), resisting apoptosis and enhancing oxidative metabolism. The authors previously demonstrated that over-expressing miR-9...
متن کاملDichloroacetate Enhances Adriamycin-Induced Hepatoma Cell Toxicity In Vitro and In Vivo by Increasing Reactive Oxygen Species Levels
A unique bioenergetic feature of cancer, aerobic glycolysis is considered an attractive therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Recently, dichloroacetate (DCA), a small-molecule metabolic modulator, was shown to reverse the glycolytic phenotype, induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and trigger apoptosis in various tumor cells. In this work, the capacity of DCA to enhance Adriamycin (...
متن کاملChloral hydrate disrupts mitosis by increasing intracellular free calcium.
In examining how chloral hydrate affects mitosis, we found that extracellular application of 0.1% chloral hydrate produced an abrupt rise in cytosolic free Ca2+. Digitized fluorescence microscopy of Fura-2-loaded, mitotic and interphase PtK cells revealed that Ca2+ rose 15 s after chloral hydrate application, peaked within 1 min at a concentration two- to sevenfold above the basal level and the...
متن کاملSubstrata formed by combinations of extracellular matrix components alter neural crest cell motility in vitro.
Extracellular matrix components such as collagen, fibronectin and sulphated glycosaminoglycans can act as substrata that promote neural crest motility in vitro, in the absence of serum. The cells appear to be less adhesive and move more randomly on collagen or chondroitin sulphate substrata than on fibronectin substrata. Cells do not spread or become motile on plastic dishes to which hyaluronat...
