Stochastic model of autocrine and paracrine signals in cell culture assays.
Autocrine signaling systems are commonly studied under cell culture conditions. In a typical cell culture assay, a layer of liquid medium covers a random two-dimensional dispersion of cells, which secrete ligands. In a growing number of experiments, it is important to characterize the spatial range of autocrine and paracrine cell communication. Currently, the spatial distribution of diffusing s...
متن کاملDistinguishing autocrine and paracrine signals in hematopoietic stem cell culture using a biofunctional microcavity platform
Homeostasis of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the mammalian bone marrow stem cell niche is regulated by signals of the local microenvironment. Besides juxtacrine, endocrine and metabolic cues, paracrine and autocrine signals are involved in controlling quiescence, proliferation and differentiation of HSC with strong implications on expansion and differentiation ex vivo as well as in vivo tra...
متن کاملAutocrine/paracrine cell death in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder of the thyroid gland. The destruction of thyrocytes associated with the disease exceeds the lifetime regenerative capacity of the gland about 5to 10-fold (1). The mechanisms responsible for this destruction have been elusive until Giordano et al. (2) demonstrated recently that Fas (CD95/APO-1) and its ligand (FasL) may be involved in the pa...
متن کاملParacrine and Autocrine Signals Induce and Maintain Mesenchymal and Stem Cell States in the Breast
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been associated with the acquisition of motility, invasiveness, and self-renewal traits. During both normal development and tumor pathogenesis, this change in cell phenotype is induced by contextual signals that epithelial cells receive from their microenvironment. The signals that are responsible for inducing an EMT and maintaining the resulting ...
متن کاملAutocrine signals promote osteoblast survival in culture.
We have studied the survival requirements of osteoblasts to test the hypothesis that osteoblasts undergo programmed cell death (PCD) or apoptosis unless they are continuously signalled by other cells not to do so. Osteoblasts survived for 6 days in culture at high cell density in the absence of other cell types, serum or exogenous proteins, but they died with the morphological features of apopt...
