The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.Platelet-Derived Growth Factor: Mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets. It is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication.Collagen: A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).Skin: The outer covering of the body that protects it from the environment.

Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.Granulation Tissue: A vascular connective tissue formed on the surface of a healing wound, ulcer, or inflamed tissue. It consists of new capillaries and an infiltrate containing lymphoid cells, macrophages, and plasma cells.Immediate-Early Proteins: Proteins that are coded by immediate-early genes, in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. The term was originally used exclusively for viral regulatory proteins that were synthesized just after viral integration into the host cell. It is also used to describe cellular proteins which are synthesized immediately after the resting cell is stimulated by extracellular signals.Intercellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins: Regulatory proteins and peptides that are signaling molecules involved in the process of PARACRINE COMMUNICATION. They are generally considered factors that are expressed by one cell and are responded to by receptors on another nearby cell.

It includes the orders Apterygiformes, Casuriiformes, Dinornithiformes, RHEIFORMES; STRUTHIONIFORMES and Tinamiformes.Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity: A behavior disorder originating in childhood in which the essential features are signs of developmentally inappropriate inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, one or the other pattern may be predominant. The disorder is more frequent in males than females. Onset is in childhood. Symptoms often attenuate during late adolescence although a minority experience the full complement of symptoms into mid-adulthood.

They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).EsterasesHistocompatibility Antigens Class II: Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.Antigens, CD45: High-molecular weight glycoproteins uniquely expressed on the surface of LEUKOCYTES and their hemopoietic progenitors. They contain a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity which plays a role in intracellular signaling from the CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS.

It is found at high levels on the surface of malignant NEOPLASMS and may play a role as a mediator of malignant cell behavior.Microbial Collagenase: A metalloproteinase which degrades helical regions of native collagen to small fragments. Preferred cleavage is -Gly in the sequence -Pro-Xaa-Gly-Pro-. Six forms (or 2 classes) have been isolated from Clostridium histolyticum that are immunologically cross-reactive but possess different sequences and different specificities. Other variants have been isolated from Bacillus cereus, Empedobacter collagenolyticum, Pseudomonas marinoglutinosa, and species of Vibrio and Streptomyces. EC 3.4.24.3.Bronchi: The larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the TRACHEA. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into BRONCHIOLES and PULMONARY ALVEOLI.Epithelial Cells: Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.Particulate Matter: Particles of any solid substance, generally under 30 microns in size, often noted as PM30.

Apo E is also a ligand for LDL receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL) that mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles in cells. There are several allelic isoforms (such as E2, E3, and E4). Deficiency or defects in Apo E are causes of HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE III.Vehicle Emissions: Gases, fumes, vapors, and odors escaping from the cylinders of a gasoline or diesel internal-combustion engine.

The substances may include GASES; PARTICULATE MATTER; or volatile ORGANIC CHEMICALS.Air Pollutants: Any substance in the air which could, if present in high enough concentration, harm humans, animals, vegetation or material. Substances include GASES; PARTICULATE MATTER; and volatile ORGANIC CHEMICALS.Mice, Knockout: Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II: A CALCIUM-independent subtype of nitric oxide synthase that may play a role in immune function.

Insulin regulation of amino acid transport in mesenchymal cells from avian and mammalian tissues. (1/275)

Insulin regulation of amino acid transport across the cell membrane was studied in a variety of mesenchymal cell directly isolated from avian and mammalian tissues or collected from confluent cultures. Transport activity of the principal systems of mediation in the presence and absence of insulin was evaluated by measuring the uptake of representative amino acids under conditions approaching initial entry rates. Insulin enhanced the transport rate of substrate amino acids from the A system(alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, L-proline, glycine, L-alanine and L-serine) in fibroblasts and osteoblasts from chick-embryo tissues, in mesenchymal cells (fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells) from immature rat uterus, in thymic lymphocytes from young rats and in chick-embryo fibroblasts from confluent secondary cultures. In these tissues, the uptake of amino acid substrates of transport systems L and Ly+ (L-leucine, L-phenylalanine, L-lysine) was not affected by the presence of the hormone. No insulin control of amino acid transport was detected in chick-embryo chondroblasts and rat peritoneal macrophages. These observations identify the occurrence of hormonal regulatory patterns of amino acid transport for different mesenchymal cells types and indicate that these properties emerge early during cell differentiation.  (+info)

Role of matrix metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors in the regulation of coronary cell migration. (2/275)

The migration of vascular cells is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). Because the activation of adventitial fibroblasts has been implicated in coronary repair, we have examined regional differences in cell outgrowth and the synthesis of MMPs/TIMPs in different layers of porcine coronary arteries. Coronary medial explants demonstrated significantly slower cell outgrowth than coronary adventitia in culture (P<0.001). These observations were paralleled by the predominant expression of TIMP-1 and -2 in the media (14-fold and 37-fold higher than in adventitia, respectively, P<0.001), whereas higher gelatinolytic activities (MMP-2 and -9) were released from adventitial explants. Smooth muscle cell outgrowth from the media was regulated by endogenous TIMPs, since TIMP inhibition (recombinant MMP-2 or neutralizing anti-TIMP antibodies) facilitated cell outgrowth (P<0.001). In contrast, the addition of recombinant TIMP-1 or -2 decreased adventitial cell outgrowth. In the coculture experiments, the presence of coronary media retarded adventitial cell outgrowth, whereas medial damage abrogated these effects, allowing for fibroblast migration (P<0.001). In conclusion, this study demonstrated differential migratory properties and distinct MMP/TIMP synthesis by coronary fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Endogenous TIMPs in the media may play an important role in maintaining coronary arterial wall homeostasis, whereas high levels of matrix-degrading activities confer the "invasive" characteristics of adventitial fibroblasts.  (+info)

Selective antibody blockade of lymphocyte migration to mucosal sites and mast cell adhesion. (3/275)

The integrins alpha4beta7 and alpha4beta1 mediate adhesion to the mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1 (MAdCAM-1) and the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and are important in T cell and allergic inflammatory reactions in the rat. The relative contributions of alpha4beta7 and alpha4beta1 in these reactions is unknown. To examine the role of alpha4beta7 in the rat a new mAb, TA-6, was developed. TA-6 inhibited adhesion to MAdCAM-1 but not to VCAM-1, a characteristic of alpha4beta7 adhesion, and immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation studies were compatible with binding to alpha4beta7. TA-6 blocked rat lymphocyte adhesion to mesenteric lymph nodes and T cell migration to mucosal lymphoid tissues and it bound to rat mucosal mast cells. TA-6 did not inhibit lymphocyte adhesion to peripheral lymph nodes and T cell migration to peripheral lymphoid tissues or cutaneous inflammatory sites, and was not expressed on connective tissue mast cells.  (+info)

Gi-mediated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by receptor mimetic basic secretagogues of connective tissue-type mast cells: bifurcation of arachidonic acid-induced release upstream of MAPK. (4/275)

The family of basic secretagogues of connective tissue mast cells act as receptor mimetic agents, which trigger exocytosis by directly activating G proteins. We now demonstrate that pertussis toxin (Ptx)-sensitive Gi proteins, activated by compound 48/80 (c48/80), a potent member of this family, also activate the p42/p44 MAP kinases (MAPKs). This activation was potentiated by the protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor vanadate, whereas the tyrphostin AG-18, a competitive inhibitor of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs); the protein kinase C inhibitors K252a and GF109203X; the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3K) inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002; and EGTA have abolished this activation. These results suggest that c48/80 activated the p42/p44 MAPKs via a mechanism that involves PTKs, protein kinase C, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and Ca2+ as mediators. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the p42/p44 MAPKs were closely correlated with stimulation of arachidonic acid (AA) release by c48/80 but not with histamine secretion. However, whereas PD98059, the inhibitor of the MAPK kinase has abrogated MAPK activation, this inhibitor failed to effect release of AA. We therefore conclude that by activating Ptx-sensitive Gi protein(s), the basic secretagogues of mast cells stimulate multiple signaling pathways, which diverge to regulate the production and release of the different inflammatory mediators. Whereas the signaling pathway responsible for triggering histamine release is PTK independent, the pathway responsible for the stimulation of AA release bifurcates downstream to PTKs but upstream to the activation of MAPKs.  (+info)

Cyclic expression of mRNA transcripts for connective tissue components in the mouse ovary. (5/275)

In the ovary, differentiation of germinal cells into primordial follicles, functional ovulatory follicles and corpus luteum, all take place in a connective tissue matrix. We postulated that extracellular matrix (ECM) of the ovary participates actively in ovarian functions. To test this, the mRNA levels for several ECM components were determined in the mouse ovary at six distinct stages of the 4-day oestrous cycle. Northern analysis revealed statistically significant cyclic expression patterns for the mRNAs coding for type III, IV and VI collagens as well as for the small proteoglycan, biglycan, and for syndecan-1 and osteonectin. The cyclic changes observed in the mRNAs for these structural components exceeded those for matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2, -9 and -13, and for tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1, -2 and -3, where the changes were not statistically significant, despite their apparent role in ECM remodelling in the ovary. These observations support the hypothesis that cyclic changes in the production and degradation of ECM are part of normal ovarian function connected with follicular maturation, rupture and corpus luteum formation.  (+info)

Distribution of membrane cofactor protein (MCP/CD46) on pig tissues. Relevance To xenotransplantation. (6/275)

Membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) is a 50-60 000 MW glycoprotein, expressed on a wide variety of cells and tissues in man, which plays an important role in regulating complement activation. Human MCP has also been shown to be the receptor for measles virus. We have recently identified the pig analogue of MCP and demonstrated that pig MCP has cofactor activity for factor I-mediated cleavage of C3b when these components are derived either from pig or human. As a consequence, pig MCP is an efficient regulator of the classic and alternative pathways of human and pig complement. In order to define the potential importance of MCP in protecting against complement activation in the pig, we have conducted a comprehensive survey of its distribution in pig cells and organs. As in humans, MCP in the pig is broadly and abundantly distributed. Pig MCP is highly expressed on all circulating cells, including erythrocytes, in contrast to its absence on human erythrocytes. Multiple isoforms of MCP are found on cells and in tissues, probably representing products of alternative splicing analogous to those found in man. MCP is abundantly expressed throughout all tissues examined with particularly strong staining on the vascular endothelium. Connective tissue elements within liver and testis are also strongly stained by anti-pig MCP antibodies. Pig MCP is expressed only weakly on skeletal muscle cells and expression is absent from smooth muscle cells in the lung and vessel walls, sites at which human MCP is expressed. Of particular note, MCP is not expressed in B-cell areas of the germinal centres of lymph nodes.  (+info)

Increased incidence of apoptosis in non-labour-affected cytotrophoblast cells in term fetal membranes overlying the cervix. (7/275)

A regional reduction in the cellularity of the cytotrophoblastic and decidual layers occurs in the fetal membranes overlying the cervix in the lower uterine segment prior to labour. Although the mechanism(s) involved are not known it could result from regionally increased apoptosis, the histological manifestation of programmed cell death, or decreased proliferation. Apoptosis was assessed in regionally sampled fetal membranes from women undergoing elective Caesarean section (n = 14) by the presence of apoptotic bodies by light and electron microscopy. Cell proliferation was assessed by immunocytochemical detection of the protein Ki-67. Apoptotic bodies were identified in all regions of the fetal membrane with the highest incidence found within the cytotrophoblast layer. However, this layer in fetal membranes biopsied over the cervix contained significantly more apoptotic bodies (mean +/- SD 0.085 +/- 0.020%) compared to the layer in fetal membranes obtained from the mid-zone (0.020 +/- 0.008%) apoptotic bodies. Isolated Ki-67 positive cells were detected in the cytotrophoblast layer, but no regional differences in their incidence were seen. Fetal membranes also failed to exhibit significant immunoreactivity for BCL-2 but exhibited strong BAX immunoreactivity within the decidual layer. We conclude that the regionally increased incidence of apoptosis in the cytotrophoblastic layer in the membrane overlying the cervix may account for the reduction in its cellularity but not the relative decrease in the decidual layer. Given the consequence of the loss of local function in degrading uterotonins and stabilizing the fetal membrane, the study of the regulation of apoptosis in these cells may have important implications for fetal membrane rupture and parturition.  (+info)

Lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages stimulate the synthesis of collagen type I and C-fibronectin in cultured pancreatic stellate cells. (8/275)

We have recently identified and characterized pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) in rats and humans (Gastroenterology 1998, 15:421-435). PSC are suggested to represent the main cellular source of extracellular matrix in chronic pancreatitis. Now we describe a paracrine stimulatory loop between human macrophages and PSC (rat and human) that results in an increased extracellular matrix synthesis. Native and transiently acidified supernatants of cultured macrophages were added to cultured PSC in the presence of 0.1% fetal calf serum. Native supernatants of lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages stimulated the synthesis of collagen type I 1.38 +/- 0.09-fold of control and c-fibronectin 1.89 +/- 0.18-fold of control. Transiently acidified supernatants stimulated collagen type I and c-fibronectin 2.10 +/- 0.2-fold and 2.80 +/- 0.05-fold of control, respectively. Northern blot demonstrated an increased expression of the collagen-I-(alpha-1)-mRNA and fibronectin-mRNA in PSC 10 hours after addition of the acidified macrophage supernatants. Cell proliferation measured by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation was not influenced by the macrophage supernatants. Unstimulated macrophages released 1.97 pg TGFbeta1/microgram of DNA over 24 hours and lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages released 6.61pg TGFbeta1/microgram of DNA over 24 hours. These data together with the results that, in particular, transiently acidified macrophage supernatants increased matrix synthesis, identify TGFbeta as the responsible mediator. In conclusion, our data demonstrate a paracrine stimulation of matrix synthesis of pancreatic stellate cells via TGFbeta1 released by activated macrophages. We suggest that macrophages might play a pivotal role in the development of pancreas fibrosis.  (+info)

1. Fragments of skin taken from the back of the leopard frog were cultivated in a mixture of plasma and muscle extract of the same species.. 2. A few hours after explanation, processes of activity are seen to arise, which finally lead to the formation of a compact epithelial rim around the fragment of skin.. 3. These epithelial cells undergo gradual transformation into a spindle-shaped type of cell; in this form they resemble the spindle cells which have been described as connective tissue cells.. 4. The growth of a rim of tissue around the explanted fragments of skin may be ascribed principally to the activity of a basal layer of epithelial cells, the units of which first advance into the medium as compact membranes by means of the so called epithelial movement, but which later become separated from the compact membrane, and having assume a spindle form, spread according to the manner of connective tissue cells.. 5.

Connective tissue progenitors (CTP) can act as a pluripotent source of reparative cells during injury and therefore have great potential in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, the response of CTP to most growth factors and cytokines is unknown. Many envisioned applications of CTP, such as treating large defects in bone, involve in vivo implantation of CTP attached to a scaffold, a process that creates an acute inflammatory environment that may be hostile to CTP survival. This project entails the design of a two-component polymeric implant system to aid in the healing process of bony defects by influencing cell behaviors at the implant site through the covalent modification of the implant surface with selected ligands. We investigate cellular responses of CTP on a biomaterial surface covalently modified with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and find that surface-tethered EGF (tEGF) promotes both cell spreading and survival more strongly than saturating concentrations of soluble ...

Warehouse Pathway - Signaling by PDGF  Warehouse Pathway - Signaling by PDGF
Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a potent stimulator of growth and motility of connective tissue cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells as well as other cells such as capillary endothelial cells and neurons.The PDGF family of growth factors is composed of four different polypeptide chains encoded by four different genes. The classical PDGF chains, PDGF-A and PDGF-B, and more recently discovered PDGF-C and PDGF-D. The four PDGF chains assemble into disulphide-bonded dimers via homo- or heterodimerization, and five different dimeric isoforms have been described so far; PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, PDGF-CC and PDGF-DD. It is notable that no heterodimers involving PDGF-C and PDGF-D chains have been described. PDGF exerts its effects by binding to, and activating, two protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) receptors, alpha and beta. These receptors dimerize and undergo autophosphorylation. The phosphorylation sites then attract downstream effectors to transduct the signal into the cell ...

is the amorphous substance that fills the space between the cells and contains the fibers. It is composed of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins and proteoglycans. Cells adhesion proteins allow the connective tissue cells to attach themselves to matrix elements. The proteoglycans are proteins to which polysaccharides are attached. These polysaccharides can trap more or less water depending their nature and form a substance that varies from a fluid to a semi-stiff hydrated gel. The relative amounts and kinds of polysaccharides help determine the properties of the matrix. For example, the more polysaccharides, the stiffer the ground substance is. The ground substance supports cells, binds them together and functions as a medium through which nutrients and other dissolved substances can diffuse between capillaries and cells ...

Research finds heart remodeling rapidly follows cardiac injury  Research finds heart remodeling rapidly follows cardiac injury
The investigators induced heart injury in mice through transverse aortic constriction (TAC). A control group of mice underwent a surgical procedure without the aortic constriction, for comparison. They evaluated acute cardiac modeling events beginning two days after surgery, including changes in hypertrophy, collagen deposition, capillary density, and cell populations.. Within 48 hours after injury, the left ventricular free wall and septum were significantly enlarged, with an increase in heart weight and relative wall thickness compared to controls. In addition to this hypertrophy, a significant decrease in capillary density was observed two days after TAC. Increased levels of pericytes, which are connective tissue cells in small blood vessels, were associated with the reduction in capillary density, supporting earlier research that suggested a role for pericytes in stabilizing vessels and minimizing vascular remodeling. "The participation of pericytes could mark the period where degradation ...

Mast cells are commonly recognized for their detrimental role in allergic reactions and can, upon activation through the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), rapidly produce and secrete many of the mediators responsible for the typical symptoms in urticaria, asthma and rhinitis. However, increasing amount of data show that mast cells have important, even vital, roles in host defence against bacteria, viruses, parasites and venoms. Mast cells exist as two different subtypes, MCT (mucosal mast cells) and MCTC (connective tissue mast cells). These two subtypes differ in their molecular expression and distribution in the body. MCT are for example the dominating subtype in the lungs, while MCTC are most common in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. ...

Collagen-binding proteoglycan fibromodulin can determine stroma matrix structure and fluid balance in experimental carcinoma  Collagen-binding proteoglycan fibromodulin can determine stroma matrix structure and fluid balance in experimental carcinoma
Research on the biology of the tumor stroma has the potential to lead to development of more effective treatment regimes enhancing the efficacy of drug-based treatment of solid malignancies. Tumor stroma is characterized by distorted blood vessels and activated connective tissue cells producing a collagen-rich matrix, which is accompanied by elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), indicating a transport barrier between tumor tissue and blood. Here, we show that the collagen-binding proteoglycan fibromodulin controls stroma structure and fluid balance in experimental carcinoma. Gene ablation or inhibition of expression by anti-inflammatory agents showed that fibromodulin promoted the formation of a dense stroma and an elevated IFP. Fibromodulin-deficiency did not affect vasculature but increased the extracellular fluid volume and lowered IFP. Our data suggest that fibromodulin controls stroma matrix structure that in turn modulates fluid convection inside and out of the stroma. This finding ...

ELOS™ skin tightening ReFirme™ | LaserClinic  ELOS™ skin tightening ReFirme™ | LaserClinic
The procedure is based on the ELOS™ technology which affects dermis with the combination of infrared light (IRL) and bi-polar radio frequency.. Changes in skin texture, like formation of wrinkles, sagging of skin and losing elasticity, results from the lessening of collagen and elastin in dermis. The procedure stimulates the long-term collagen synthesis and tightens the existing collagen fibres, providing immediate tone. Due to accumulated heat skin tissue tightens gradually, and finer and deeper wrinkles become more even and soft. As a result of tissue contraction it improves the elasticity of forehead, neck, chin and cheek area and keeps improving thanks to more intensive collagen synthesis.. With infrared light dermis is heated up to a depth of 1-3 mm which suits to all types of skin. Heating tissue improves the function of fibroblast (connective tissue cells) which in turn stimulates the production of collagen. Infrared light together with bi-polar radio frequency allows to heat dermis up ...

PDGF-BB (200-055S): ReliaTech  PDGF-BB (200-055S): ReliaTech
PDGFs are disulfide-linked dimers consisting of two 12.0-13.5 kDa polypeptide chains, designated PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The three naturally occurring PDGFs; PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGFs are stored in platelet alpha-granules and are released upon platelet activation. The PDGFs are involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGFs have been identified and named PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta. PDGFR-alpha is high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-beta interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB. Recombinant human PDGF-BB is a 24.3 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two B chains (218 total amino acids ...

Anatomy of the Spine  Anatomy of the Spine
The intervertebral discs are soft structures which act as shock absorbers between each of the vertebrae (bones) in the spine. A single disc sits between each vertebra. Each intervertebral disc has a strong outer ring of fibres (annulus), and a soft, jelly-like centre (nucleus).. The central soft and juicy nucleus is a sphere-shaped structure that allows tilting, rotating, and gliding movements in the spine. The nucleus functions as a primary shock absorber. It is a clear, jellylike material that is made up of 88 percent water in young adults. As the body ages and/or degenerates, the amount of water in the nucleus reduces. The rest of the nucleus is made up of connective tissue cells, collagen fibres, and a small amount of cartilage. There are no blood vessels or nerves in the nucleus, The annulus is a ring-like frame of fibres which connects each vertebral bone. It is the strongest part of the disc and it encloses the central nucleus and holds it under pressure to prevent it from ...

The Effect of Diabetes Mellitis and Hyperglycaemia on the Proliferation of Human Tenons Fibroblasts | IOVS | ARVO Journals  The Effect of Diabetes Mellitis and Hyperglycaemia on the Proliferation of Human Tenon's Fibroblasts | IOVS | ARVO Journals
Abstract: : Purpose: We have previously shown that proliferation of Human Tenons fibroblasts (HTCFs) from diabetic patients is reduced. The aim of this study was to determine the effect hyperglycaemia on the previously noted changes in proliferation of HTCFs from diabetic and non-diabetic patients. We also determined the expression of cell surface receptors required for control of cellular proliferation in the diabetic and control patients. Methods: Tenons capsule fibroblasts from 7 diabetic and 7 non-diabetic patients were exposed to normo- (5mmol/L) and hyperglycaemic (25mmol/L) conditions and their proliferation determined by 3H thymidine incorporation. The possession of cell surface receptors (PDGF and TGF RII) and intracellular signalling molecules (TGF-ß1, ERK1/2 and MAPK) was determined on lysed and non-lysed cells by direct immunoblotting. Results: Human Tenons capsule fibroblasts (HTCF) derived from diabetic patients exposed to a glucose concentration of 5mmol/L exhibited a ...

Health Information | Almondsbury Surgery | Scleroderma - Systemic Sclerosis  Health Information | Almondsbury Surgery | Scleroderma - Systemic Sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system causes damage to some of the bodys own cells. Normally, our body makes proteins called antibodies to fight infections - for example, when we catch a cold or have a sore throat. These antibodies help to kill the germs causing the infection. In autoimmune diseases the body makes similar antibodies (autoantibodies) that attack its normal cells. In systemic sclerosis, the immune system damages the connective tissue cells, which are found in many parts of the body. Your connective tissue supports, binds or separates other tissues and organs within your body and can also be a kind of packing tissue in your body. So, systemic sclerosis is also classed as a connective tissue disease.. It is not known what triggers the immune system to cause systemic sclerosis. There is probably an inherited tendency to develop it. It is more common in people who have a family member with systemic sclerosis. It may be triggered by certain ...

Stromal cell - Wikipedia  Stromal cell - Wikipedia
Stromal cells are connective tissue cells of any organ, for example in the uterine mucosa (endometrium), prostate, bone marrow, lymph node and the ovary. They are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ. Fibroblasts and pericytes are among the most common types of stromal cells. The interaction between stromal cells and tumor cells is known to play a major role in cancer growth and progression. In addition, by regulating local cytokine networks (e.g. M-CSF, LIF), bone marrow stromal cells have been described to be involved in human haematopoiesis and inflammatory processes. Stromal cells (in the dermis layer) adjacent to the epidermis (the very top layer of the skin) release growth factors that promote cell division. This keeps the epidermis regenerating from the bottom while the top layer of cells on the epidermis are constantly being "sloughed" off the body. Certain types of skin cancers (basal cell carcinomas) cannot spread throughout the body because the cancer ...

Muscle-splitting vessels | Development  Muscle-splitting vessels | Development
During limb development, dorsal and ventral muscles progressively separate to form individual muscles in a process called muscle splitting. In their study on p. 2579, Duprez and colleagues reveal that blood vessels regulate this process. They report that the location of endothelial cells, which are present in the developing chick limb before muscle, determines the site of future zones of muscle cleavage. By overexpressing VEGFA (a key growth factor in blood vessel development) in chick wing buds prior to muscle splitting, the researchers induced both blood vessel and connective tissue formation, while inhibiting muscle formation. Conversely, blocking blood vessel formation with a soluble VEGFR1 in chick wing buds caused muscle fusion. The authors propose that PDGFB (platelet-derived growth factor B), which is expressed in endothelial cells, is the molecular signal that regulates this process, perhaps by promoting the production of the extracellular matrix and attracting connective tissue cells ...

Fenestrated blood vessels in the rat choroid plexus are permeable to dye-labelled proteins, HRP and ferritin. Most leakage appears to be via fenestrae but some additional escape of marker appears to take place through transient and reversible openings in the junctions between endothelial cells. After they have escaped into the choroidal stroma markers are prevented from entering the CSF by tight junctions between the epithelial cells which cover the choroid plexus, but how they are removed from the extravascular space is not known. Electron microscope study of rats who have been given multiple intravenous injections of ferritin shows that extravascular ferritin is take up both by connective tissue cells in the choroidal stroma and by choroidal epithelial cells. The findings suggest that the ingested protein is subsequently broken down within lysosomal vacuoles in the cytoplasm of these cells. Such intracellular digestion may be the major means of controlling the protein content of the extravascular

Hitting reset on cells by suppressing a protein  Hitting "reset" on cells by suppressing a protein
A protein discovered at OMRF might be the key to creating stem cell therapies from adult cells.. OMRF researcher Carol Webb, Ph.D., and University of Texas at Austin scientist Haley Tucker, Ph.D., found that removing or suppressing the protein called Bright could spontaneously convert connective tissue cells in mouse embryos into pluripotent stem cells-the kinds of cells that have the potential to become almost any other type of cell. Their research was published in the journal Stem Cell Reports.. "The ultimate goal of stem cell research is to revert an adult cell into a pluripotent stem cell, which could be used to treat patients using their own cells," Webb said. "Weve found that inhibiting the Bright protein improves the efficiency of techniques other labs use to make pluripotent mouse stem cells.". Webb discovered Bright, which is known as ARID3a in humans, and has spent years researching its function. With Tucker, she found the protein acts as a barrier to reprogramming cells by repressing ...

Reduced activity of transcription factor plays key role in triggering pulmonary fibrosis - Medicalnewser.com  Reduced activity of transcription factor plays key role in triggering pulmonary fibrosis - Medicalnewser.com
December 26, 2017. To date, the molecular basis of pulmonary fibrosis has been poorly understood. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim have now shown that reduced activity of the transcription factor FoxO3 plays a key role in the development of the disease. In research on mice, the progress of the disease was able to be halted using drugs that boost FoxO3 activity. The researchers are hoping they may have found a possible approach to treatment.. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is currently an incurable lung disease, in which sufferers lose the ability to absorb adequate oxygen. Although the word idiopathic means that the cause is unknown, the disease primarily affects former and active heavy smokers from the age of 50.. An important role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is played by connective tissue cells called fibroblasts. These cells provide structure to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. During development of the disease, characteristic ...

Empa - Communication - New skin for chronic wounds  Empa - Communication - New skin for chronic wounds
In the framework of a CTI project the Lucerne-based company nolax and Empa have taken a major step towards solving this problem. They have developed a cell carrier or scaffold from bio-compatible, degradable plastic material that should help wounds to heal. This scaffold - a spongy- like foam made of flexible polyurethane - can be adapted to the exact shape of the wound. Over time, the scaffold should be populated by connective tissue cells. At the same time the body breaks down the foam. All that should remain is a newly formed layer of skin. There are already cell scaffolds on the market, but they are made of products of animal origin, which not only makes them expensive, but also carries the risk of transmitting animal diseases. There are no such disadvantages when synthetic materials are used as wound healing support materials ...

Living tissue cells such as from an animal or a plant are encapsulated in inorganic microspheres. An organosilicon precursor such as tetraethoxysilane or an organometallic precursor such as aluminum tri-n-propoxide is hydrolyzed in an aqueous acidic solution to form a gel forming solution. Tissue cells are mixed with a salt solution such as Hanks Balanced Salt Solution to form a solution containing the tissue cells. The solution containing tissue cells and the gel forming solution are mixed to form a mixture. The mixture is mixed with an oil that is immiscible with the mixture and has a lower specific density than the mixture. The resultant mixture is stirred to form microspheres encapsulating the tissue cells. The mixture containing the tissue cells and the gel forming solution may be formed into droplets and added to the top of a column containing the oil to form the microspheres.

Characterisation of connective tissue cells containing factor XIII subunit a. | Journal of Clinical Pathology  Characterisation of connective tissue cells containing factor XIII subunit a. | Journal of Clinical Pathology
Paraffin embedded sections of human liver, lymph node, and placenta showed that certain connective tissue cells were positive for factor XIII subunit a. These cells were further characterised by double immunofluorescence labelling and by combined immunofluorescence and enzyme cytochemical staining on frozen sections. They were labelled by the monoclonal antibodies RFD7 and anti-Leu M3 (markers of the macrophage cell line) but gave a negative reaction for the fibroblast marker IIG10 and showed no alkaline phosphatase activity. Immunoblotting detected factor XIII subunit a in macrophages isolated from placenta but not in human fibroblasts. At lower dilutions, the commercially available antibody against the b subunit of factor XIII also positively reacted with the same cell population. The facts that immunoblotting showed that the antiserum crossreacted with the a subunit and that placental macrophages did not stain strongly for the b subunit also indicate that this antigen is not present in adult ...

Fibroblast-mediated collagen gel contraction depends on collagen-binding beta1 integrins. Perturbation of these integrins reveals an alternative contraction process that is integrin alphaVbeta3-dependent and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB-stimulated. Connective tissue cells actively control interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), and inflammation-induced lowering of IFP provides a driving force for edema formation. PDGF-BB normalizes a lowered IFP by an alphaVbeta3-dependent process. A potential modulation of IFP by extracellular matrix-binding bacterial proteins has previously not been addressed. The fibronectin (FN)-binding protein FNE is specifically secreted by the highly virulent Streptococcus equi subspecies equi. FNE bound FN and native collagen type I with K(d) values of approximately 20 and approximately 50 nm determined by solid-phase binding assays. Rotary shadowing revealed a single FNE binding site located at on average 122 nm from the C terminus of procollagen type I. FNE ...

Stroma of cornea - Wikipedia  Stroma of cornea - Wikipedia
The substantia propria (or stroma of cornea) is fibrous, tough, unyielding, and perfectly transparent. At its centre, human corneal stroma is composed of about 200 flattened lamellæ (layers of collagen fibrils), superimposed one on another.[1] They are each about 1.5-2.5 μm in thickness. The anterior lamellæ interweave more than posterior lamellæ. The fibrils of each lamella are parallel with one another, but at different angles to those of adjacent lamellæ. The lamellæ are produced by keratocytes (corneal connective tissue cells), which occupy about 10% of the substantia propria. Apart from the cells, the major non-aqueous constituents of the stroma are collagen fibrils and proteoglycans. The collagen fibrils are made of a mixture of type I and type V collagens. These molecules are tilted by about 15 degrees to the fibril axis, and because of this, the axial periodicity of the fibrils is reduced to 65 nm (in tendons, the periodicity is 67 nm). The diameter of the fibrils is remarkably ...

On suspicion of a tumour dependent on striated tissue the patient was admitted to hospital for further study. NMR imaging confirmed the finding of a tumour mass contained within the right trapezius muscle (Fig. 1B and C). After fine needle aspiration and complete resection a 158g specimen was extracted, the pathological analysis of which revealed low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGSM) which did not affect the resection margins.. LGSM are atypical tumours which are rare and usually diagnosed in the neck and oral cavity.4,5 They are composed of an uncontrolled proliferation of myofibroblasts which are connective tissue cells that share physiological properties with smooth muscle cells and firbroblasts.6,7 These tumours have a high tendency to produce early metastasis and local relapses.6-8 Most of shoulder sarcomas usually present in the deltoid muscles.

Mast cell (MC) differentiation, survival, and activation are controlled by the membrane tyrosine kinase c-Kit upon interaction with stem cell factor (SCF). Here we describe a single point mutation induced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosurea (ENU) mutagenesis in C57BL/6J mice-an A to T transversion at position 2388 (exon 17) of the c-Kit gene, resulting in the isoleucine 787 substitution by phenylalanine (787F), and analyze the consequences of this mutation for ligand binding, signaling, and MC development. The Kit(787F/787F) mice carrying the single amino acid exchange of c-Kit lacks both mucosal and connective tissue-type MCs. In bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs), the 787F mutation does not affect SCF binding and c-Kit receptor shedding, but strongly impairs SCF-induced cytokine production, degranulation enhancement, and apoptosis rescue. Interestingly, c-Kit downstream signaling in 787F BMMCs is normally initiated (Erk1/2 and p38 activation as well as c-Kit autophosphorylation) but fails to be ...

Connective tissue is the most abundant of the primary tissue types. Like epithelial tissue, connective tissue is widespread throughout the body, but its distribution within the different organs varies. In sharp contrast to epithelial tissue, which covers the body surface and lines its internal cavities and hollow organs, connective tissue is never exposed to the external environment. Depending on the type of connective tissue and its location, it (1) interconnects and fills the spaces between other tissues and organs; (2) protects, cushions, and provides structural support for other tissues and organs; (3) stores energy reserves in the form of neutral fats; and (4) transports substances throughout the body. Connective tissues encompass a wide variety of tissues in the body. For example, tendon, bone, fat, cartilage, and blood are all connective tissue structures. The principal feature of connective tissues that greatly distinguishes them from other tissues and is used to group them into a single ...

JCI - Deciphering the cellular interplays underlying obesity-induced adipose tissue fibrosis  JCI - Deciphering the cellular interplays underlying obesity-induced adipose tissue fibrosis
Adipose tissue progenitors (or precursors), often located in the vicinity of the vascular network, constitute a heterogeneous population. They can be discriminated through their capacity to differentiate into mature adipocytes and also by their level of commitment into the adipocyte differentiation program. The application of flow cytometry using various markers as well as single-cell RNA sequencing has enabled the identification of multiple cell populations. The CD9hi progenitors exhibited very limited adipogenic capacity with a high propensity for the production of extracellular matrix components. CD9hi progenitors include mesothelial cells, whose contribution in adipose tissue remodeling is currently unresolved. Further investigations are still needed to establish the relationship between these various populations of progenitors. In addition, a better understanding of the critical functional determinants and whether acquired phenotypes are reversible is needed ...

The specific cellular changes which occurred are described for the different leucocytes. In general, there was first a latent period during which no change could be observed in the cell. Following this there was a period of stimulation during which the motion of the cell was greatly accelerated. This second stage has been observed in all cells except the lymphocyte, in which it may possibly occur to a slight degree. Finally there was the terminal stage, the stage of degeneration, in which the cell rounded up, lost its motility, and either became badly swollen or else underwent a ...

Guided Bone Regeneration | indication matrix  Guided Bone Regeneration | indication matrix
GBR is a technique used for the regeneration of lost alveolar bone by the help of a grafting material and a barrier membrane. The defect is filled with a bone graft material (allogeneic-, xenogeneic- or alloplastic bone substitute materials) that serves as a scaffold for ingrowth of bone forming cells (osteoconduction) and blood vessels, and prevents collapse of the overlying membrane and soft tissue. The membrane acts as a barrier agains ingrowth of fast proliferating connective tissue cells, hence, giving the bone forming cells time and space for the osseous regeneration of the defect. Moreover, the membrane stabilizes the bone graft material and prevents the migration of particles.

Towards clinical translation of upscaled osteogenic grafts using human adipose tissue progenitors - edoc  Towards clinical translation of upscaled osteogenic grafts using human adipose tissue progenitors - edoc
Tissue engineering is an emerging strategy in medical field that focuses on regeneration or replacement of lost or damaged tissue and organs. Most of the tissues in human body have no or limited self renewal and regeneration potential which decrease with ageing. Today, bone is one of the most transplanted organs of human body every year. Bone defects or missing bone segments may occur due to trauma, injury, tumour removal and infections. Increased life span in modern society results in an increased demand for organ and tissue substitutes. So far, most of the tissue engineering approaches proposed solutions which only allow the generation of small scale of grafts with confined clinical relevance.

Polyacrylamide substrates were prepared as described, with modifications. 2,10,11 The gels were composed (final concentrations) of 7% acrylamide (Sigma-Aldrich), 3% acrylamidopropyl-trimethylammonium-chloride (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1% to 0.8% bis-acrylamide to control elasticity (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1% ammoniumpersulfate, and 0.2% N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylmethylendiamine (TEMED, Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS. The charged trimethylammonium-chloride compound allows for ECM binding. Gels containing 0.1% and 0.2% bis-acrylamide will be termed soft gels, as opposed to stiff gels containing 0.4% or 0.8% bis-acrylamide. For immunofluorescent stains, 24-mm round coverslips were coated with amino-silane (Sigma-Aldrich) for 2 minutes, washed in water, activated with 0.5% glutaraldehyde (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 30 minutes, washed again, and air-dried. Polyacrylamide solution, (14 μL; as above), was pipetted onto the larger coverslip and covered with an 18-mm round coverslip. After polymerization for 30 ...

DL Hammons: Connective Tissue  DL Hammons: Connective Tissue
Anyone heard of Connective Tissue? Connective Tissue maintains the form of the body along with its internal organs, providing cohesion and support. It is a scaffolding for other cells to rest and where nerve tissue and muscle tissue are embedded. The entire body is supported from within by a skeleton composed of bone, a type of connective tissue able to resist stress due to its laminated structure and hardness. The individual bones of the skeleton are held firmly together by ligaments, and muscles are attached to bone by tendons, both of which are examples of dense connective tissue. At the joints, the bones are covered with cartilage, a connective tissue with a substance that gives it a consistency adapted to permitting smooth movements between surfaces. ...

Connective tissue is a fibrous cell-sparse network that helps to connect, support, bind, and separate neighboring tissues from one another. It exists in and around every organ of the body. Probably the most recognizable forms of connective tissue are bones (calcified), tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and fats. One major component of connective tissue is the extracellular…

Deca-Durabolin 250mg/ml (Nandrolone Decanoate) - Hongkong Yuancheng Gongchuang Technology Co., Limited  Deca-Durabolin 250mg/ml (Nandrolone Decanoate) - Hongkong Yuancheng Gongchuang Technology Co., Limited
How dose it work ? Since Nandrolone Decanoate also stores more water in the connective tissues, it can temporarily ease or even cure existing pain in joints. This is especially good for those athletes who complain about pain in the shoulder, elbow, and knee, they can often enjoy pain-free workouts during treatment while using Nandrolone Decanoate (Nandrolona D). Another reason for this is that it blocks the cortisone receptors thus allowing less cortisone to reach the muscle cells and the connective tissue cells. Athletes use this steroid, depending on their needs, for muscle buildup and in preparation for a competition.. How dose it dosage?. The dosage for men is around 400-600mgs per week but that varies depending on goals. Ive seen guys use as little as 200mgs per week as a booster, and up to 1500mgs per week as a heavy bulker.. For women, I wouldnt suggest using deca durabolin because of the side effects that are too variable from female to female.. ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - IL-33 mediates inflammatory responses in human lung tissue cells. AU - Yagami, Akiko. AU - Orihara, Kanami. AU - Morita, Hideaki. AU - Futamura, Kyoko. AU - Hashimoto, Noriko. AU - Matsumoto, Kenji. AU - Saito, Hirohisa. AU - Matsuda, Akio. PY - 2010/11/15. Y1 - 2010/11/15. N2 - IL-33 is a member of the IL-1 family and mediates its biological effects via the ST2 receptor, which is selectively expressed on Th2 cells and mast cells. Although polymorphic variation in ST2 is strongly associated with asthma, it is currently unclear whether IL-33 acts directly on lung tissue cells at sites of airway remodeling. Therefore, we aimed to identify the IL-33-responsive cells among primary human lung tissue cells. ST2 mRNA was expressed in both endothelial and epithelial cells but not in fibroblasts or smooth muscle cells. Correspondingly, IL-33 promoted IL-8 production by both endothelial and epithelial cells but not by fibroblasts or smooth muscle cells. Transfection of ST2 small ...

A prosthetic device for repairing or replacing connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons in the human or animal body is described. The device comprises a cord of artificial connective tissue formed from a composite, partly absorbable thread. The thread comprises a combination of permanent material and absorbable material susceptible to being dissolved into surrounding living tissue. The dissolving of the absorbable material leaves space for the living tissue to grow into and adhere to the structure formed by the permanent material.

Connective Tissue Motion Measure | SBIR.gov  Connective Tissue Motion Measure | SBIR.gov
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this project is to develop a biomarker - the Connective Tissue Motion Measure (CTMM) - quantifying the functional behavior of perimuscular connective tissues. The differential motion between specific connective tissue strata will be measured during tissue displacement (linear oscillation) initiated by a computer-controlled needle stimulus tool (NST). The CTMM will be suitable as an outcome measure for mechanistic and clinical studies of CAM interventions. The CTMM also will potentially serve as a clinical diagnostic and treatment-monitoring tool for manual therapists, acupuncturists, and CAM clinicians interested in assessing the functional status of a patients connective tissue. Our Specific Aims are: Aim 1: Develop an integrated, user-friendly, and reliable system for conducting the CTMM. 1) Design and fabricate an automated Needle Stimulus Tool (NST) capable of providing a controlled displacement stimulus to the targeted connective tissue ...

What the heck is a connective tissue disease? | Autoinflammatory Diseases  What the heck is a connective tissue disease? | Autoinflammatory Diseases
This week, I was called to evaluate a young man with several aneurysms (ballooning of his blood vessels) and a dilated (widened) aorta. The medical team thought he had a "connective tissue disease" because a family member also had a connective tissue disease-she had lupus. Unfortunately, doctors can mean very different things when they talk about a "connective tissue disease;" this is a common source of confusion for doctors and patients alike. After reading this post, I hope youll be able understand the difference.. Connective tissue is the "stuff" that holds your body together. That is, the bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, fat, and "glue" that keeps all your organs in place. Two very different types of diseases can affect these tissues-you can have problems in MAKING the connective tissues, or these tissues can be ATTACKED by the bodys own immune system.. In the first type of "connective tissue disease," the body is unable to produce strong connective tissues. Its like trying to build ...
