Demonstration of a collagenolytic enzyme in postmortal human colon tissue.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A collagenolytic enzyme was extracted from the 6000 g sediment of homogenized postmortal human colon tissue. The enzyme digests native collagen at neutral pH. The enzyme has been concentrated by ammonium sulfate precipitation. The collagenolytic activity was measured using [1-14C]acetylated calf skin collagen, solubilized in 0.1 g/1 acetic acid. There was a significant inactivation of the enzyme solution after the addition of mumol EDTA to the test volume.

Collagenolytic Enzymes in Human Neoplasms1
A variety of human neoplasms were examined for their ability to produce collagenolytic enzymes in culture. Some types of tumors of epithelial origin demonstrated a very high frequency of collagenolytic activity, while neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, nonneoplastic tissues, and other types of epithelial neoplasms only rarely produced collagenase. In particular, tumors of the colon and carcinomas...
متن کاملAn answer to colon cancer treatment by mesenchymal stem cell originated from adipose tissue
Objective(s): Colon cancer is risen up with its complex mechanism that directly impacts on its treatment as well as its common prevalence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as a therapeutic candidate for conventional disease including cancer. In this research, we have focused on apoptotic effects of adipose tissue-derived MSCs in colon cancer.Materials and Methods: MSCs were ob...
