BACKGROUND This study was initiated to compare the adherence to cultured endothelial cells of mononuclear cells isolated from normotensive and hypertensive individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS Mononuclear cell binding to endothelium was greater in patients with hypertension (32+/-1 versus 25+/-2; P<0.001) than in normal volunteers. There was a significant relationship (r=0.42, P<0. 01) between mo...

The expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was studied in seven patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. By means of nuclear run on transcription assay, the transcriptional level of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was investigated. Expression of c-sis proto-oncogene in bronchoalveolar mononuclear cells was enhanced. Enhancement of c-sis tra...

Di- or tetracarboxylic acid ligands were used to isolate molecular coordination complexes containing the association of several mononuclear {Nb 1 } moiety and dinuclear 2 O} niobium( v ) polyoxo clusters.

Techniques for liquid culture of proliferating mononuclear phagocytes from bone marrow of mice and men are described. Mouse bone marrow must be cultured in the presence of colony-stimulating factor, whereas proliferation of human mononuclear phagocytes occurred in medium with 50% serum but without colony-stimulating factor. The number of mononuclear phagocytes that can be determined in mouse bo...

Cyclometallated N-heterocyclic carbenes with an appended carbazole and chelating diphosphines brought together to achieve the first simple solution-processed green-emitting iTMC-LECs based on mononuclear Pt( ii ) complexes.

Abstract Background Domestic cats rarely develop hepatocellular carcinoma. The reason for the low prevalence is unknown. Reductions in ploidy have been associated with hepatic carcinogenesis. Recent work mice has shown that livers more polyploid hepatocytes are protected against development of Hepatocyte domestic cat not evaluated. We hypothesized would be reduced peri-tumoral and neoplastic co...

Mononuclear phagocytes consisting of monocytes, macrophages, and DCs play a complex role in tumor development by either promoting or restricting growth. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common nonmelanoma skin cancer arising from transformed epidermal keratinocytes. While present at high numbers, tumor-infiltrating resident myeloid cells formation cSCC largely unknown...

OBJECTIVE Angiotensin II (Ang-II) and mononuclear leukocytes are involved in atherosclerosis. This study reports the inhibition of Ang-II-induced mononuclear cell recruitment by CXCR2 antagonism and the mechanisms involved. METHODS AND RESULTS Ang-II (1 nmol/L, i.p. in rats) induced CXC and CC chemokines, followed by neutrophil and mononuclear cell recruitment. Administration of the CXCR2 ant...

The multinucleated bone-resorbing osteoclast has a hematopoietic origin. We have demonstrated previously that osteoclasts are derived from the monocytic lineage by fusion of mononuclear macrophage precursors. Using an in vitro-osteoclast differentiation model derived from pure populations of chick macrophage cultures, osteoclast-like multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) can be formed by fusion fo...

OBJECTIVES Severe intervertebral disc herniation causes complete paraplegia and loss of pain sensation in canines. The prognosis is poor, even when decompression surgery is performed immediately after onset. Studies suggest that bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells will regenerate the injured spinal cord and restore neurologic function. This study was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy ...
