Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Action of Bovine Cartilage on Tumor Cells In Vitro And In VivoArax Tanelian, Alexander M. AbdelnoorIn an earlier study we had investigated the effect of Bovine Cartilage (BC) on mouse melanoma cells. In pursuant to this study BC anti-tumor activity in vitro against several human tumor cell lines was evaluated, mechanism by which BC induces tumor cell death was studied and its immunogenicity was assessed. Five mice received Intraperitoneal (IP) injection of BC once every … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2018 · 9,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Lactobacillus Plantarum and Bacterial Peptidoglycan on the Growth of Mouse Tumors in vivo and in vitroArpa Aintablian, Dalal F. Jaber, Mary Ann Jallad, Alexander M. AbdelnoorSome members of the microbiota have been shown to be effective strategies for inhibiting tumor growth through stimulation of host anti-tumor immune responses. Anti-tumor immune effects were observed when Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp), a member of the gut microbiota, was used to treat colorectal cancer in mice. Moreover, constituents of bacteria, including peptidoglycan (PG), have been shown to exhibit tumoricidal effects. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 8,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Bovine Cartilage on the Growth of Mouse B16F10 Melanoma Cells in vitro and in vivoArax Tanelian, Dalal F. Jaber, Nayla S. Al Akl, Alexander M. AbdelnoorEarlier reports indicated that Bovine Cartilage (BC) had anti-tumor effects but only a few in vitro and in vivo investigations were conducted to assess its mechanism of action. The aim of this study was to investigate some of the proposed mechanisms of action of BC on mouse melanoma cells both in vitro and in vivo and to determine if its … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2016 · 7,489 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotential of HMEC-1 Line and HUVEC Primary Culture Cells to Study the Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor in vitroLuz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Felipe Vadillo-Ortega et al.The neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and immunity passive transfer. Fine points regarding these mechanisms, however, are still emerging. In order to obtain information about these phenomena, it is essential to have in vitro models of endothelium that express this receptor. In this study we chose two widely used models of human endothelial … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 9,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHemodynamic Catheters: The Reprocessing, Cleanliness and in vitro Biofilm Formation by Enterococcus faecium in a Continuous Flow ModelCleber Galdino da Silva, Edson Pires de Oliveira, Ednalva Miranda Guizi et al.Reprocessing single-use devices to cut costs is a common practice in hospitals around the world. In Brazil, there are few studies of reprocessing hemodynamic catheters and thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of reprocessing hemodynamic catheters before and after biofilm formation in vitro using a continuous flow model. We used a sterility test and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 Jul 2015 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Short Term in vitro Stress Hormone Exposure on Regulatory T Cell Number and Function in AsthmaKristina E. Rehm, Gailen D. Marshall, Jr.Asthma is characterized by alterations in the immune system, including regulatory T cells (Treg). Further alterations in Treg numbers and/or function caused by stress hormones may be a contributing factor in asthma pathogenesis. We compared Treg populations and the effects of Dexamethasone (DEX, a laboratory analog of cortisol) on Treg cell number and function in patients with asthma and a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2015 · 6,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInhibition of Interleukin-6 Expression by Curcumin in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Explants In VitroYanti, Stephanie, Yuliani et al.In atherosclerotic plaques, infectious agents from microbes may release Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat shock proteins that can stimulate the production of mediators, i.e., pro-inflammatory cytokines, by vascular endothelial cells and Smooth Muscle Cells (SMCs). The elevated level of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is strongly associated with the development of atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated whether curcumin isolated from the rhizome of Curcuma longa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2014 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Silico and in Vitro Studies: Tryparedoxin Peroxidase Inhibitor Activity of Methotrexate for Antileishmanial ActivityRavi Kumar Gundampati, Shraddha Sahu, Avinash Kumar Srivastava et al.In order to understand the mechanism of molecular interactions at the active site of Tryparedoxin Peroxidase (Try P), homology modeling and docking studies were performed. We generated a Three-Dimensional (3D) model of target protein based on the Crystal structure of Leishmania Major Try PI (PDB ID: 3TUE) using modeler software. Docking analysis was carried out to study the effects of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2013 · 7,893 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn Vitro Antagonistic Antifungal-Activity of Streptomyces Isolate 339 Against Magnaporthe oryzaeM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht DehkaeiBiological control offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of antimicrobials for controlling plant diseases. A collection of about 100 Actinomycete strains was screened for the ability to produce metabolites that inhibit Magnaporthe oryzae growth in vitro. The Streptomyces isolate 339 showed strong in vitro antagonistic activity against M. oryzae in Agar disc and Well-diffusion methods by producing extracellular … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIN VITRO TESTING OF MODIFIED COLLAGEN/ HYALURONAN/BETA-GLUCAN SCAFFOLDJan Vojtassak, Dusan Bakos, Martin Bohac et al.Cells and scaffolds belong to main components of tissue engineering. In this study we have performed in vitro cytotoxicity and biocompatibility testing of modified collagen/hyaluronan/beta-glucan scaffold. We used direct contact assay as well as MTT test. Human adipose tissue-derived stem cells were used as biological model.
