La leptina promueve la expresión de Hic-5 y la formación de puntos de actina por la vía dependiente de FAK-Src en células epiteliales mamarias MCF10A

Biomédica (Bogotá); 39 (3), 2019
Resumen Introducción. La leptina es una hormona secretada por los adipocitos que se ha relacionado con el proceso de la transición de epitelio a mesénquima (Epithelial- Mesenchymal Transition, EMT). Promueve la migración e invasión de las células del epitelio mamario mediante la activación de las...

Fluorofenidone inhibits apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in rats with renal interstitial fibrosis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (11), 2019
This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of fluorofenidone (AKF-PD) in treating renal interstitial fibrosis in rats with unilateral urinary obstruction (UUO). Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham, UUO, UUO + enalapril, and UUO + AKF-PD groups. All rats, except sham, un...

Evaluation in vitro of proliferative activity of epithelial cells by flavonoid 3-O-methylgalangine and terpenenic derivative Filifolinone

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and its main function is to protect it from the external environment. It is exposed to injuries that require a rapid healing process to recover its functionality. Microorganisms inhabit the skin, which makes up the normal microbial flora, but in situations ...

Focal adhesion proteins, vinculin and integrin β5, during early pregnancy in rat uterine epithelial cells: anastrozole favors their normal distribution

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: An alternative superovulator to replace clomiphene citrate is needed as clomiphene citrate is associated with low pregnancy rates. Anastrozole is an effective superovulator, but it has not been well researched. In order to determine the effectiveness of anastrozole as a superovulator and to comp...

Ginsenoside Rg1 protects human renal tubular epithelial cells from lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and inflammation damage

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
Ginsenoside Rg1, one of the most notable active components of Panax ginseng, has been widely reported to exert anti-inflammatory actions. This study aimed to reveal whether ginsenoside Rg1 also exhibits beneficial roles against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced apoptosis and inflammation in human renal tu...

Efficacy of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective Relacin is a synthetic molecule that targets RelA, an essential protein in a conserved bacterial stress response system. It was shown to inhibit bacterial growth. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of relacin combined with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on ...

Response of a co-culture model of epithelial cells and gingival fibroblasts to zoledronic acid

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Osteonecrosis of the jaw is an adverse effect of bisphosphonates. While the etiopathogenesis of this condition has been investigated, the interactions and effects of bisphosphonates on oral mucosa cells remain unclear. It is hypothesized that cell culture models, such as co-culture or three-dime...

Growth hormone in the presence of laminin modulates interaction of human thymic epithelial cells and thymocytes in vitro

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: Several evidences indicate that hormones and neuropeptides function as immunomodulators. Among these, growth hormone (GH) is known to act on the thymic microenvironment, supporting its role in thymocyte differentiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of GH on human thymocyte...

Influência da aplicação intraoperatória de mitomicina C tópica episcleral na proliferação e diferenciação de células epiteliais córneo-conjuntivais de coelhos

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 73 (3), 2014
Objetivo: Avaliar a influência da mitomicina C a 0,02% (MMC), aplicada em dose única por 3 minutos, na proliferação e diferenciação das células epiteliais da córnea de coelhos. Métodos: A MMC tópica foi aplicada na episclera da área límbica temporal, mediante tecido epitelial corneano intacto...
