The biology of normal prion protein and the property of infectivity observed in abnormal folding conformations remain thinly characterized. However, enough is known to understand that prion proteins stretch traditional views of proteins in biological

Ethanol is a tumor promoter and may promote metastasis of breast cancer. However, the underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Overexpression and high activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) are frequently associated with metas

High molecular weight (HMW) fragmentation of nuclear chromatin was studied in cultured rat oligodendrocytes (OL) exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Intact genomic DNA was isolated by agarose embedding, and analyzed by field inversion gel electropho

An in vitro model system of cultured oligodendrocytes was used to determine the susceptibility of these cells to oxidative stress induced by 15 min exposure to millimolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Following the exposure, the cells w

The applicability of antisense technology to suppress the expression of myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) in cultured oligodendrocytes was evaluated. Differentiating oligodendrocyte precursor cells obtained by the shake-off method were exposed to

The purpose of this study was to characterize the selenium requirement for the normal differentiation of oligodendrocyte lineage cells. In primary mixed glial cultures prepared from newborn rat brains, the overall growth of cultures, as seen from the

Induction of angiogenesis is essential for the continued growth of solid tumors, and one critical component of tumor-induced angiogenesis involves the stimulation of microvascular cells to migrate into the growing mass. We have developed a convenient

The treatment of rat glioma C6 cells with 10μ isoproterenol (Ipt) for 4 days upregulated the expression of the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) gene by approximately 55-fold over the control value. The constant presence of Ipt in the medium was

The effect of dexamethasone on the expression of proteolipid protein (PLP) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) genes was investigated in rat C6 glioma cells. The steady state level of the respective mRNAs was quantitated by Northern blot analysi
