The herbal medicine unkei-to stimulates cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant production in the pituitaryfolliculo-stellate-like cell line (TtT/GF) PROBLEM: We previously reported that a cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) was pr

Previous studies from our laboratories demonstrated that human decidual macrophages and peripheral mononuclear cells express renin. In the present study, we found that U-937 monocytes, induced to differentiate into macrophage-like cells by treatment

In previous studies, we reported that cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) was produced in the pituitary gland. Here we investigated the possibility of detection of CINC immunoreactivity in the pituitary folliculostellate (FS)-like cell

Experiments were performed to examine the effect of interferon-y (IFNy) on the expression of renin by human uterine decidual cells and decidual macrophages. Exposure of a mixed population of decidual cells consisting of 80% decidualized stromal cells

All-trans retinoic acid (RA) has potent effects on cell differentiation and gene expression. Previous studies have demonstrated that human endometrial stromal cells express mRNA for retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and cellular RA-binding protein-II (C

Term decidual tissue consists of terminally differentiated decidual cells, bone marrow-derived cells, and fibroblast cells. Since undifferentiated decidual cells are fibroblast-like cells of the endometrial stroma, the possibility exists that the fib

We investigated the effect of recombinant human IL-6 (rhlL-6) on cell proliferation using the MtT/E rat pituitary tumor cell line, which was recently established by Inoue et al. This cell line expresses the homeodomain protein Pit-1/GHF 1 and does no

Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), which modulates cell proliferation and differentiation in a number of cell types, is present in human endometrial stromal cells. However, both the function of IL-1 beta in endometrium and the factors that modulate its

Cytokines modulate hormone expression in many cell types, including the expression of renin in juxtaglomerular cells. However, the effect of cytokines on the expression of renin from extrarenal cells is unknown. In this paper, we have examined whethe

We have investigated the intracellular mechanisms underlying thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-mediated [ 3 H]dopamine ([ 3 H]DA) release from dispersed rat tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons. The specific binding of [ 3 H]Me-TRH to the
