To clarify the biological and pathological features of choriocarcinoma, we evaluated the in vitro production of cytokines by a choriocarcinoma cell line, BeWo. We measured the concentration of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in the culture media of BeWo cells after

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent mitogen for endothelial cells and a vascular permeability factor. In this study we found that the addition of angiotensin II (AII) to rat heart endothelial cells induced VEGF mRNA production. VEGF mRNA
The human pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line REH6 was utilized for characterization of CD45 glycoprotein by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing four distinct CD45 antigen specificities, i.e. nonrestricted CD45, restricted CD45RA, CD45RB and CD45R0. Immunoprecipitation revealed two antigen specificities on

To study the influence of the inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), Iso-H7 [1-(5-lsoquinolinyl-sulfony)-3-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride] on eosinophil apoptosis in nasal polyp tissues. Nasal polyp tissues were cultured and divided into two groups, test group (with Iso-H7 in different concentration) and

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)-dependent induction of expression of the neuropeptide vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) gene is mediated by a 180-base pair cytokine response element (CyRE) in the VIP promoter. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms mediating the transcriptional activation by CNTF
