چکیده

Human, rat, and mouse placentas and rat and mouse intestines were homogenized in buffered saline, and fraction consisting primarily of cell membranes was separated from each of the homogenates by differential centrifugation. Human, bovine, and guinea pig IgG, and human IgE, Bence-Jones protein, serum albumin, insulin, and growth hormone were labeled with (131)I or (125)I, and the binding of these proteins by the cell membrane fractions was investigated. Rat and mouse sucklings were given labeled proteins intragastrically, and the amount of each protein absorbed after a given interval of time was determined. It was found that the degree and specificity of protein binding by the cell membrane fractions from human and murine placentas strikingly paralleled the relative rate and specificity of protein transport from mother to fetus in the respective species at or near term. Similarly, the degree and specificity of protein binding by the cell membrane fractions from suckling rat and mouse intestines tended to parallel the rate and specificity of protein absorption from the gastrointestinal tract in these animals. However, some discordance between protein binding and protein transport was also observed. The data suggest that: (a) the binding of a protein by specific receptors on cell membranes may be a necessary first step in the transcellular transport of the protein; (b) specific protein binding by cell receptors does not ensure the transport of that protein across the tissue barrier; and (c) specific transport mechanisms other than or in addition to specific cell membrane receptors are involved in the active transport of proteins across the human or murine placenta or the suckling murine intestine.

Biological behaviors of muscarinic receptors in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta and bone marrow

Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...

The Role of Tumor Protein 53 Mutations in Common Human Cancers and Targeting the Murine Double Minute 2–P53 Interaction for Cancer Therapy

The gene TP53 (also known as protein 53 or tumor protein 53), encoding transcription factor P53, is mutated or deleted in half of human cancers, demonstrating the crucial role of P53 in tumor suppression. There are reports of nearly 250 independent germ line TP53 mutations in over 100 publications. The P53 protein has the structure of a transcription factor and, is made up of several domains. T...

THE PRODUCTION OF MURINE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MAb) DIRECTED AGAINST HUMAN T- LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS

The production of murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) has not yet been reported in Iran. The present work describes for the first time the generation of several murine hybridoma clones secreting MAbs directed against human leukocyte surface antigens. The secreted antibodies by hybridoma clones have been screened on different lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. Results indicated that of seven h...

Differential expression of retinoic acid-inducible (Stra) genes during mouse placentation

Several retinoid binding proteins and nuclear receptors are specifically expressed in murine placenta. However, little is known about molecular events and target genes regulated by retinoids during placentation. Here, we report that several retinoic acid-inducible (Stra) genes, originally isolated by a differential screening procedure, exhibit specific expression patterns in mouse placental tis...
