Isolation and characterization of proteoglycans synthesized by cultured mesangial cells.
Rat mesangial cells selected by long-term culture of glomeruli exhibited a hill and valley appearance in the confluent state and were stained with antibodies against vimentin and desmin, suggesting that they are smooth muscle-like mesangial cells. The glycoconjugates produced by the cells were metabolically labeled with [35S]sulfate and [3H]glucosamine and extracted with 4 M guanidine HCl conta...
متن کاملProteoglycans in stem cells.
The remarkable promise of pluripotent and multipotent stem cells (SCs) imparts tremendous optimism for advancement of regenerative medicine, developmental biology, and drug discovery. Perhaps the greatest challenge is to finely direct, control, and command their differentiation. As those processes are managed on many levels, including genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic, examination of all ...
متن کاملGlomerular Mesangial Cells
Glomerular mesangial cell (MC)-derived IL-1 may be an important factor in the development of the hypercellularity and sclerosis characteristic of many forms of glomerulonephritis. To define the regulation of IL-I synthesis by human MC, Northern blot analyses were performed using specific probes for monocytic IL-1 a and 8 mRNA. Proliferating MC expressed mRNA for both IL-1 a and ft, whereas nonp...
متن کاملDistinct synthetic and structural characteristics of proteoglycans produced by cultured artery smooth muscle cells of atherosclerosis-susceptible pigeons.
Proteoglycan (PG) metabolism by aortic smooth muscle cell cultures derived from atherosclerosis-susceptible White Carneau (WC) and -resistant Show Racer (SR) pigeons was compared using [35S]sodium sulfate and [3H]serine or [3H]glucosamine as labeling precursors. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) PG and dermatan sulfate (DS) PG were the major PG secreted into the medium by both cell types. Total PG produ...
متن کاملBiodegradation of crude oil by immobilized microbial cells in alginate beads produced by electrospraying technique
Background and Objective: Petroleum compounds are major contributors to aquatic environmental pollution. In recent years, biological treatments as environmental-friendly and cost-effective techniques have been used alongside the various physico-chemical methods. Microbial cell immobilization in hydrogel carriers has been the focus of researchers due to various advantages such as ease of microbi...
