چکیده

We compared the efficiency of in vitro DNA transfer into selected tumor and endothelial cell lines using complexes of plasmid DNA and cationic carriers: DDAB/DOPE, DC-Chol/DOPE, Arg-Chol/DOPE, Gly-Chol/DOPE, Arg-Gly-Chol/DOPE, BGTC/DOPE, and PEI. The best carriers for transfecting the majority of tested cells lines at optimized carrier-to-DNA weight ratios were PEI and BGTC/DOPE.

Patterns of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Expression in Hematopoietic Malignant Cells

Background and Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a cytokine which is overexpressed in many malignant cancers including leukemia. VEGF plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Determination of the pattern of VEGF expression in human leukemic cell lines could be useful not only in screening of new antileukemic agents but also to study the mechanism of their ...

Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity Against SKOV3 after HLA-G Downregulation by shRNA

Background: HLA-G is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule which, when elevated in tumor cells, is one of the main factors involved in tumor evasion of immune responses including NK and T cells. Objective: To evaluate the effect of HLA-G downregulation on NK cell cytotoxicity in tumor cell lines. Methods: The expression level of HLA-G was measured by real-time PCR and flowcytometry after transfec...

Capability of Platelet Factor 4 to Induce Apoptosis in the Cancerous Cell Lines in Vitro

Background and Aims: Platelet factor 4 (PF4) or CXCL4 is a member of CXC chemokine family which is stored in alpha granules of platelets. The main function known for PF4 is angiostasis which may contribute to prevent tumor metastasis. This feature is mediated by CXCR3 on the endothelial cells. Our principal aim was to study the apoptosis induction in three cell lines treated with PF4 and obtain...

THE IN VITRO GROWTH PROPERTIES OF CELL LINES FROM EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS-INDUCED TAMARIN TUMORS AND TAMARIN B CELLS TR ANSFORMED BY EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS

EBV-carrying human cell lines, depending on whether the cells are derived from Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) tumor biopsies or transformed by EBV in vitro, have different growth properties in vitro. In contrast, there are no clear differences between tamarin tumor lines and tamarin LCLs in vitro. Both types of tamarin cell lines could grow in agarose and formed colonies unlike human LCLs, althoug...

Effect of Propranolol on Angiogenic Factors in Human Hematopoietic Cell Lines in vitro

Background: Beta-adrenergic blocking agents have been broadly used for treatment of many cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension and ischemic heart failure. Anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects of propranolol (a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker) have been shown. Angiogenesis (replenish of the pre-existing vascular networks) plays a critical role in s...
