Disease relevance of Cell Enlargement

 

High impact information on Cell Enlargement

  • During growth, plant cells secrete a protein called expansin, which unlocks the network of wall polysaccharides, permitting turgor-driven cell enlargement [3].
  • These results imply that the RHD3 protein is a member of a new class of GTP-binding proteins that is widespread in eukaryotes and required for regulated cell enlargement [4].
  • Organized actin assemblies appeared concomitantly with cell enlargement, promoted by a mechanism that probably does not involve small GTPases of the Rho protein family [5].
  • In CM overexpressing PKG I, NO/cGMP also suppressed BNP induction and cell enlargement but not NFAT activation elicited by constitutively active calcineurin, which is consistent with additional, NFAT-independent inhibitory effect(s) of PKG I downstream of calcineurin [6].
  • When acting with the specific antigen fluorescein-polymerized flagellin, BSF-1 augmented early cell enlargement and markedly enhanced proliferation, but it did not increase the frequency of AFC clones stimulated by fluorescein-polymerized flagellin alone [7].

Associations of Cell Enlargement with chemical compounds

  • In the present work, complete inhibition of proliferation and maximal cell enlargement required exposure to 1 microM methotrexate, whereas colony-forming ability, determined after transfer of cells to drug-free medium, was unaffected over a wide range of concentrations (10(-12)-10(-5) M) [17].
  • Exposure of BeWo cells to fluorodeoxyuridine also stimulated cell enlargement and expression of syncytiotrophoblastic markers, and these effects were blocked by coadministration of thymidine [17].
  • For example, it may carry out some other role more closely related to the function of the auxin hormones in cell enlargement such as protein disulfide-thiol interchange [18].
  • Basal glucose-transport activity increased 6.3-fold/cell but remained constant per unit cellular surface area due to cell enlargement [19].
  • With the help of morphologic studies and using Oil Red detection of cellular lipids, cell enlargement, accumulation of lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, and nuclear fragmentation could be observed under treatment with arachidonic acid [20].
 

Gene context of Cell Enlargement

  • Changes induced by IL-4 include cell enlargement, increased viability, and increased MHC class II expression [21].
  • Each of these lymphokines induced cell enlargement, flattening, and vesiculation, with gamma IF apparently more potent in this respect than LT or TNF [22].
  • Interleukin 2 did not induce cell enlargement in either the presence or absence of antigen [23].
  • Another, apparently distinct subpopulation, comprising about 25% of the cells, and probably present in xid mice, was sensitive to a proliferative signal delivered by LPS, if the cells had first been cultured for 24 h in the presence of a dose of anti-mu that was sufficient to cause cell enlargement [24].
  • In contrast, the highly specific 5-LO inhibitors BAY X 1005, MK-886 and Wy 50,295 did not inhibit cell enlargement or proliferation [25].
