Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) was reported to trigger cellular senescence and reduce cell growth of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), but its contribution to neurogenic differentiation of BMSCs remains unknown. In the present study, BMSCs were isolated from the femur and tibia of young rats to investigate effects of IGFBP-4 on BMSC proliferation and growth of neurospheres derived from BMSCs. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8 after treatment with IGFBP-4 or blockers of IGF-IR and β-catenin. Phosphorylation levels of Akt, Erk, and p38 in BMSCs were analysed by Western blotting. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were induced into neural lineages in NeuroCult medium; the number and the size of BMSC-derived neurospheres were counted after treatment with IGFBP-4 or the blockers. It was shown that addition of IGFBP-4 inhibited BMSC proliferation and immunodepletion of IGFBP-4 increased the proliferation. The blockade of IGF-IR with AG1024 increased BMSC proliferation and reversed IGFBP-4-induced proliferation inhibition; however, blocking of β-catenin with FH535 did not. p-Erk was significantly decreased in IGFBP-4-treated BMSCs. IGFBP-4 promoted the growth of ...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
