Degenerative changes in the A375 melanoma line induced by transforming growth factor beta 1.

Abstract:

:A375 human melanoma cell cultures grown in the presence of TGF beta contained greatly reduced cell numbers and exhibited drastic alterations in cell morphology compared to the control cultures. Preincubation of the cells with the cytokine for only 18 h was sufficient to induce these changes irreversibly. Examination of TGF beta-treated cells in the electron microscope revealed large numbers of lipid-filled vacuoles in the cytoplasm, greatly contracted nuclei and some loss of the otherwise abundant microvilli. Thus TGF beta may have a direct toxic effect on the A375 melanoma cells.

  • Control of mouse graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation by blocking the CD28/B7 signaling pathway with lentiviral vector-mediated RNA interference.

    abstract::Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an effective way to cure hematological malignancies. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following transplantation limits the clinical application to some extent.
