The extent of the influence of mesenchymal tissue on epithelial development is still debated, and elucidation of epithelialmesenchymal interactions should be of relevance for controlling normal as well as pathological growth and development. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the influence of the mesenchymal cell type on oral mucosa epithelial development in vitro, using tissue-engineering principles, by including three different sources for mesenchymal cell type, viz. oral mucosa, skin and cornea, each of them presenting a distinct type of epithelium in situ. We investigated epithelialmesenchymal interactions, considering both morphological criteria and protein expression (filaggrin, keratin 10, keratin 12, keratin 13 and laminin 5). The results of the histology, immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy of the three types of tissue-engineered constructs composed of mesenchymal cells of different sources (oral, dermal and corneal fibroblasts) and of the same oral epithelial cells showed that the mesenchymal cell source had a significant influence on the thickness and ultrastructure of the epithelium, but not on the differentiation of oral epithelial cells, which might be an intrinsic property of these cells due to their genetic programming.

Influence of microenvironment on tissue engineering applications

Cues of microenvironment that guide both mature and stem cells determine the success of tissue engineered constructs. To prove and emphasize this expectation, various parameters such as surface topography, scaffold (cell carrier, scaffold) chemistry, 2D vs 3D microenvironments and mechanical stimulation were included into the microenvironment. Surfaces with two distinct physical cues pillar and groove-ridge type micropatterns were transferred to the surfaces of the films by casting the collagen type I and s...

Background: Dose-and time-dependent effects of doxorubicin on telomerase activity ( TA) and expression levels of hTERT, Bcl-2, Bcl-x(L) and Bax were investigated in doxorubicin-resistant and -sensitive MCF-7 cells. Methods: Doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7/R was developed from sensitive MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell line and acquired resistance was demonstrated by XTT and mRNA analysis of MDR1 and MRP1 genes. Expression levels were determined by RT-PCR. Newly developed rapid and simple TRAP-silver staining assay w...

The effects of double release of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and growth factor 1 (TGF1) from nanoparticles on the growth of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation into cartilage cells were studied on PLGA scaffolds. The release was achieved by using nanoparticles of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) carrying IGF-I and TGF1, respectively. On tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), TGF-1 released from PNIPAM nanoparticles was found to ...
Effects of ammonium ion, acetate and aerobic conditions on hydrogen production and expression levels of nitrogenase genes in Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU001
Akkose, Sevilay; Gündüz, Ufuk; Yucel, Meral; Eroglu, Inci (2009-11-01)
In the present study, expression levels of nitrogenase encoding nifH and control genes nifA and prrA were examined at different physiological conditions in Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001. In addition to variations in expression levels, changes in hydrogen production and growth were also investigated in response to different concentrations of ammonium source, acetate and aerobic conditions.
Effects of novel compound derived from vitamin e on prostate cancer cell line
Ergen, Nuri; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2016)
Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. It is known that vitamins having high antioxidant capacity, like vitamin A, C and E, play important roles in adjuvant therapy and as cancer protective agents. Vitamin E is a group of fat soluble antioxidant nutrients consisting of tocopherols and tocotrienols. Various research has been performed on the utility of vitamin E derivatives on cancer treatment. Energy metabolism of cells alters during cancer pro...
