The effect of withaferin A on human peripheral blood lymphocytes. An electron-microscope study.

Abstract:

:Cultures of normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) were treated with withaferin A and examined by an electron microscope. The compound was found to affect the spindle microtubules of cells in metaphase. There were no intact pole-to-pole microtubules or pole-to-kinetochore microtubules found in the treated cells; the centrioles were located in the center. Furthermore, cells at interphase were also affected, the membrane system of the cells being damaged.

  • LYRM2 directly regulates complex I activity to support tumor growth in colorectal cancer by oxidative phosphorylation.

    abstract::Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in cancer has attracted a considerable attention in the past decades, and accumulated evidence has suggested that it plays an important role in tumor proliferation, metastasis and drug resistance. However, the mechanisms involved in these effects are still ambiguous to date. In this ...
