TWEAK induces liver progenitor cell proliferation.
Progenitor ("oval") cell expansion accompanies many forms of liver injury, including alcohol toxicity and submassive parenchymal necrosis as well as experimental injury models featuring blocked hepatocyte replication. Oval cells can potentially become either hepatocytes or biliary epithelial cells and may be critical to liver regeneration, particularly when hepatocyte replication is impaired. T...
متن کاملTWEAK induces angiogenesis and proliferation of endothelial cells.
TWEAK is a recently described member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) ligand family whose transcripts are present in a wide variety of human tissues (Chicheportiche, Y., Bourdon, P. R., Xu, H., Hsu Y. M., Scott, H., Hession, C., Garcia, I., and Browning, J. L. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 32401-32410). TWEAK is a weak inducer of apoptosis in transformed cells when administered with interferon-g...
متن کاملAlcohol Disrupts Human Liver Stem/Progenitor Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
OBJECTIVE Excessive alcohol consumption injures the liver resulting in various liver diseases including liver cirrhosis. Advanced liver disease continues to be a major challenge to human health. Liver stem/progenitor cells (LSPCs) are tissue specific precursors with a distinct capacity of multi-lineage differentiation. These precursor cells may play an important role in the process of tissue in...
متن کاملPhoenix dactylifera L. Fruit Induces Cell Proliferation of A2780, A172 and HFFF2 Cell Lines
Dates fruit has been used as staple food in the Middle East for thousands of years and various types of dates are found worldwide. Dates and their constituents show various roles in diseases prevention and treatment through anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial activity. In the present study we investigated the activity of aqueous and n-hexane extracts of Phoenix dactylifera L. fruit ...
متن کاملParthenolide Induces Apoptosis in Committed Progenitor AML Cell line U937 via Reduction in Osteopontin
Background: Interfering with cell proliferation and survival is a critical role for antineoplastic drugs leading to cell death through induction of apoptosis. Alternative treatments with herbal extracts offer insights into acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy. Parthenolide (PTL), an extract from feverfew, induces apoptosis in primary human leukemia stem cells (LSCs) and bulk leukemic cell popul...
