Abstract

To study the inhibitory effects of matrine, in different concentrations, on invasion and metastasis of human acute lymphocytic leukemia cell line Jurkat. In vitro cultured Jurkat cells were treated by matrine in concentration of 0 g/L, 0.1 g/L, 0.15 g/L and 0.2 g/L, respectively. Then cell adhesion assay, cell migration assay and matrigel invasion assay were used respectively to observe the effects of matrine on adhesion, migration and invasive capacity of Jurkat cells. Meantime, RT-PCR was performed to detect the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression levels. Comparison of measurement data among groups was analyzed by variance analysis. As compared with the control group, the adhesion of Jurkat to fibronectin (FN) was significantly inhibited by 0.15 g/L and 0.2 g/L of matrine (P < 0.05); the cell migration and invasive capacity were significantly lowered by 0.1 g/L, 0.15 g/L and 0.2 g/L matrine (P < 0.01). High mRNA expression of MMP-9 presented but that of MMP-2 was expressed insignificantly in Jurkat cells, matrine at 0.1 g/L, 0.15 g/L and 0.2 g/L showed obvious effect in down-regulating MMP-9 mRNA expression (P < 0.01). Besides, MMP-9 mRNA expression was found to be positively correlated with the invasiv...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
