The protective effect of polysaccharide glucan in chickens fed low doses of T-2 toxin was assessed. The binder effect of β-D-glucan on jejunal mucosa in relation to the expression of Na+/K+-ATPase, proliferative activity of enterocytes and number of goblet cells was investigated. A total of 40 one-day-old chickens were allocated to four groups: control (C), β-D-glucan (G), T-2 toxin (T) and combined β-D-glucan+T-2 toxin (GT). The chickens were individually administrated per os 1.0 mg/bird/day of β-D-glucan derived from Candida albicans on days 11, 12, and 21 of the experiment (totally 3 mg per bird). T-2 toxin at a concentration of 1.45 μg·kg-1 was added to the feed from day 14 to day 28 of the experiment. The α subunit-specific anti-Na+/K+-ATPase antibody was used to identify the protein by immunofluorescence in the cell membrane of jejunal enterocytes. Higher expression of Na+/K+-ATPase was found in the jejunal epithelial cells and lamina propria in the chickens fed T-2 toxin and administered glucan (P < 0.05) compared to control. The number of proliferated enterocytes was higher in group T compared to group G and control (P < 0.001), as well group GT (P < 0.01). Goblet cell density did not present significant differences between groups of chickens, but group G showed the highest values. These data suggest that administration of pure T-2 toxin at low doses affects primarily the protein synthesis of actively dividing cells. Higher distribution of Na+/K+-ATPase in enterocytes of chickens in GT group suggests positive influence of glucan and mycotoxin on the ion pump. A binding effect of this immunomodulator on the digestive tract mucosa in the applied setup was not observed.

The possibility that the «in vivo» treatment with heterologous albumin coupled with diazotized acriflavine may affect the sensitivity of lymphoid cells to the action of acriflavine was studied. Albino mice CFW strain were treated subcutanceusly with the coupled albumin in the presence of complete Freund adjuvant. Lymph nodes from control and immunized animals, fifteen days after the treament, were cultured «in vitro» in the presence of different doses of acriflavine (from 0.5 to 4 μg/ml). The action of acriflavine was evaluated as the growth of cultures, the percent of lymphoid cells in the different phases of differentiation and the percent of proliferating cells after incubation for 24 hours in the presence of 3H thymidine. Results show that lymphoid cells of immunized mice are less sensitive to the citotoxic activity of acriflavine than those of the controls. Acriflavine, at low doses, reduces the growth of normal cultures and the proliferative activity of immature elements. At the highest doses the proliferation area is almost completely absent and the elements still present are strongly degenerated. Acriflavine, at the concentration able to reduce or to inhibit the growth of control cultures, is ineffective in altering the ratio of immature elements in cultures of immunized animals. The ability of these elements to incorporate 3H thymidine is also unchanged.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been considered as a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The aim of the study was comparative evaluation of the clinical efficacy of PRP-therapy, minoxidil, and their combination in the treatment of men with AGA and to evaluate the effects of PRP on the proliferation of hair follicle (HF) cells in skin biopsy. Materials and Methods: The study involved 69 men who were divided into 3 groups who received PRP therapy, minoxidil, and their combination. The clinical efficacy of the therapy was evaluated by the dynamics of morphometric of hairs. To assess cell proliferation antibodies to β-catenin, CD34, Ki67, and to Dkk-1 were used. Results. PRP treatment was more effective than minoxidil therapy (p = 0.005). Complex therapy turned out to be more effective than minoxidil monotherapy (p < 0.0001) and PRP monotherapy (p = 0.007). After applying PRP the absolute and relative values of the β-catenin and CD34 expression area increased; an increase in Ki67+ index was also significant. Conclusions: PRP can be considered as a treatment option for AGA. Combined PRP and minoxidil use seems promising for the treatment of AGA. PRP increase in the proliferative activity of HF cells and improves hair morphology in patients with AGA.

Twenty-six primary breast carcinomas were studied to evaluate cell proliferation as assessed by thymidine labeling index (TLI), and antigenic phenotype, as defined by immunohistochemistry using eight monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). The majority of tumors had low TLI values. Reactivity to MAbs B72.3, CC49, CC83 (anti TAG 72), COL-12 (anti CEA) and MOv2 (against a tumor-associated mucoprotein) was restricted to < 50% of the tumors studied, while MAbs B1.1 (anti CEA), MBrl and MBr8 (to tumor-associated carbohydrates) reacted with > 50% of the cases. Correlations between expression of TAAs and proliferative activity showed that the tumors could be divided into three groups, two characterized by either high proliferative activity and absence of antigenic expression or low proliferative activity and strong antigenic expression, and the third showing no relation between these two biological features. We defined two antigenic phenotypes associated with specific cellular kinetics: one characterized by negative immunoreaction with MAbs, CC49, CC83 and COL-12 and high proliferative activity; the other characterized by intense immunoreactivity with these antibodies and low proliferative activity. The data suggest that cell proliferation and antigenic phenotype may define biologic subsets of breast carcinomas

The response of S-phase cells labelled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in sheep airways undergoing repair in response to endobronchial brush biopsy was investigated in this study. Separate sites within the airway tree of anaesthetised sheep were biopsied at intervals prior to pulse labelling with BrdU, which was administered one hour prior to euthanasia. Both brushed and spatially disparate unbrushed (control) sites were carefully mapped, dissected, and processed to facilitate histological analysis of BrdU labelling. Our study indicated that the number and location of BrdU-labelled cells varied according to the age of the repairing injury. There was little evidence of cell proliferation in either control airway tissues or airway tissues examined six hours after injury. However, by days 1 and 3, BrdU-labelled cells were increased in number in the airway wall, both at the damaged site and in the regions flanking either side of the injury. Thereafter, cell proliferative activity largely declined by day 7 after injury, when consistent evidence of remodelling in the airway wall could be appreciated. This study successfully demonstrated the effectiveness ofin vivopulse labelling in tracking cell proliferation during repair which has a potential value in exploring the therapeutic utility of stem cell approaches in relevant lung disease models.

Abstract The effects of the stable expression of E1A and/or middle T oncogenes on the proliferative activity of PC Cl3 normal thyroid cells are reported. The proliferation of PC Cl3 cells is mainly regulated by insulin and TSH in a stimulatory way and by somatostatin in an inhibitory fashion. The transformed cell lines, named PC Py and PC E1A Py, show an autonomous pattern of proliferation. The blockade of phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity with vanadate increased the proliferation rate of PC Cl3 under basal and stimulated conditions and completely prevented the inhibitory activity of somatostatin, suggesting that in PC Cl3 cells, a tonic tyrosine phosphatase activity regulates basal and stimulated proliferation, and that a somatostatin-dependent increase in this activity may represent a cytostatic signal. Conversely, in both PC Py and PC E1A Py, vanadate did not modify basal and stimulated proliferation. We analyzed tyrosine phosphatase activity in the different cell lines basally and under conditions leading to the arrest of cell proliferation: confluence (contact inhibition), growth factor deprivation (starvation), and somatostatin treatment. Under basal conditions, tyrosine phosphatase activity was significantly lower in PC Py and PC E1APy cell lines than that in the normal cells. The inhibition of the proliferation induced by contact inhibition or somatostatin treatment was accompanied by an increase in tyrosine phosphatase activity only in PC Cl3 cells. The reduction in tyrosine phosphatase activity in PC E1APy cells correlated with a significant reduction in the expression of R-PTPη, a tyrosine phosphatase cloned from PC Cl3 cells. Conversely, the expression of another receptor-like PTP, PTPμ, was unchanged. Thus, PTPη may be a candidate to mediate inhibitory signals (i.e. activation of somatostatin receptors or cell to cell contact) on the proliferative activity of PC Cl3 cells, and the reduction of its expression in the transformed cell lines may lead to an alteration in the control of cell proliferation.

Abstract Estrogens stimulate cell proliferation in typical estrogen-responsive tissues including the anterior pituitary gland. Here we report that 17-β estradiol (E2) has estrogen receptor-mediated mitogenic and antimitogenic actions on rat lactotrophs in primary culture, depending on the cell context. E2 did not affect basal proliferation at 2 d after treatment, but it increased it at 4 d. Insulin markedly increased proliferative activity, which was inhibited by simultaneous treatment with E2, even after only 2 d of treatment. This antimitogenic action on insulin-induced proliferation was also observed with other estrogens but not with nonestrogenic steroids. Treatment with antiestrogens in combination with E2 antagonized both the mitogenic and antimitogenic actions of E2. Antiestrogen treatment alone inhibited basal proliferation, and it mimicked the inhibitory action of E2 on insulin-induced proliferation with less potency. In parallel with cell proliferation, an insulin-induced increase in the cell number of cyclin D1-immunoreactive lactotrophs was inhibited by E2 treatment. Although the antimitogenic action of E2 was seen with a wide range of doses of insulin or IGF-1, proliferation was stimulated rather than inhibited by E2 when cells were treated with serum or forskolin/isobutylmethylxanthine instead of insulin, indicating a mitogen-specific, but not proliferative activity-dependent, inhibition by E2. The results of estrogen-occupied estrogen receptors as negative regulators of proliferation suggest a novel interaction between estrogen and growth factors in the regulation of proliferation in estrogen-responsive cells.
