Multipotent Capacity of Immortalized Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
While the adult murine lung utilizes multiple compartmentally restricted progenitor cells during homeostasis and repair, much less is known about the progenitor cells from the human lung. Translating the murine stem cell model to humans is hindered by anatomical differences between species. Here we show that human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) display characteristics of multipotent stem ce...
متن کاملMalignant transformation of immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells by asbestos fibers.
Although asbestos is a well-established lung carcinogen, there currently is no suitable human cell model in which to examine the underlying cellular and molecular changes associated with fiber-mediated bronchial carcinogenesis. Using a recently established transformation model based on a human papillomavirus-immortalized human bronchial epithelial cell line, we successfully transformed these BE...
متن کاملCyclin D1 Proteolysis: a Retinoid Chemoprevention Signal in Normal, Immortalized, and Transformed Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells
Background: Retinoids (derivatives of vitamin A) are reported to reduce the occurrence of some second primary cancers, including aerodigestive tract tumors. In contrast, b-carotene does not reduce the occurrence of primary aerodigestive tract cancers. Mechanisms explaining these effective retinoid and ineffective carotenoid chemoprevention results are poorly defined. Recently, the all-trans-ret...
متن کاملHuman rhinovirus infection of human bronchial epithelial cells results in migration of human bronchial fibroblast cells
Background Recent studies have demonstrated that structural changes in the airways characteristic of asthma, collectively referred to as airway remodeling, occur in young children even prior to the diagnosis of asthma. Young children who experience human rhinovirus (HRV)-associated wheezing illness within the first three years of life are at increased risk for the subsequent development of asth...
متن کاملIn vitro differentiation capacity of telomerase immortalized human RPE cells.
PURPOSE To investigate conditions promoting the differentiation of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and assess the differentiation potential of telomerase-immortalized RPE cells. METHODS Serially passaged RPE 340 (parental) cells have limited replicative ability and senesce after 50 to 60 population doublings (PD)s. RPE 340 cells transfected with the catalytic component o...
