Immortalized connexin43 knockout cell lines display a subset of biological properties associated with the transformed phenotype.
Immortalized cells from embryonic connexin43 knockout mice (Cx43-/-) and homozygous littermates (Cx43+/+) were cloned and characterized to determine whether the absence of Cx43 function would induce observable phenotypic changes. Cells of the Cx43+/+ clones expressed Cx43 and engaged in gap junctional communication with 10-12 neighboring cells. The Cx43-/- cells were devoid of Cx43 and communic...
متن کاملMeasurement of Proteus cell motility during swarming.
The motilities of Proteus long forms during swarming on agar were measured on cells transferred to liquid suspension. During concentric-ring formation on solid medium, when the edge of the swarm was advancing slowly or had stopped, the velocity of long-form motility was low. When the colony was spreading rapidly, long-form velocitywas relatively high. This periodic variation in cell velocity, w...
متن کاملCorrelation of Adiponectin mRNA Abundance and Its Receptors with Quantitative Parameters of Sperm Motility in Rams
Objective Adiponectin and its receptors (AdipoR1 and AdipoR2), known as adiponectin system, have some proven roles in the fat and glucose metabolisms. Several studies have shown that adiponectin can be considered as a candidate in linking metabolism to testicular function. In this regard, we evaluated the correlation between sperm mRNA abundance of adiponectin and its receptors, with sperm moti...
متن کاملSuppression of the transformed phenotype in somatic cell hybrids.
Somatic cell hybrids between mouse mammary tumour cells (TA3B) and diploid rat embryo fibroblasts (REF) or between TA3B and Syrian hamster sarcoma cells (BI) were examined for the in vitro characteristics of transformed cells as soon as possible after cell fusion. Unlike the parental tumour cells as three of four TA3B X REF and five BI X TA3B independent hybrid lines had low colony-forming effi...
متن کاملAutomated real-time measurement of chemotactic cell motility.
We have developed a novel method, (ECIS/taxis), for monitoring cell movement in response to chemotactic and chemokinetic factors. In this system, cells migrate in an under-agarose environment, and their positions are monitored using the electric cell-substrate impedance sensor technology to measure the impedance change at a target electrode, that is lithographed onto the substrate, as the cells...
