Effect of chemotherapeutic drugs and cytochalasin B on tunneling nanotubes in U87 MG cells [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Cancer
Intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment has a major impact on therapeutic outcomes. In particular, highly aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma benefit from efficient cellular communication by developing resistance to therapy or by ...

Changes in subcellular localization of visfatin in human colorectal HCT-116 carcinoma cell line after cytochalasin B treatment [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2014
The aim of the study was to assess the expression and subcellular localization of visfatin in HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma cells after cytokinesis failure using Cytochalasin B (CytB) and the mechanism of apoptosis of cells after CytB.

Cytochalasin B [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 1972
Abstract Cytochalasin B (2 to 4 µg/ml) reversibly inhibits the chemotactic response of human and rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes to a bacterial chemotactic factor or to the complement derived factor, C5a. At lower concentrations (1 to 0.1 µg/ml or less) Cytochalasin B actually stimulates chemotaxis.

Testing Strategies of the In Vitro Micronucleus Assay for the Genotoxicity Assessment of Nanomaterials in BEAS-2B Cells

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2021
The evaluation of the frequency of micronuclei (MN) is a broadly utilised approach in in vitro toxicity testing. Nevertheless, the specific properties of nanomaterials (NMs) give rise to concerns regarding the optimal methodological variants of the MN ...

Resolution of the Hypoxylon fuscum Complex (Hypoxylaceae, Xylariales) and Discovery and Biological Characterization of Two of Its Prominent Secondary Metabolites

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
Hypoxylon, a large, cosmopolitan genus of Ascomycota is in the focus of our current poly-thetic taxonomic studies, and served as an excellent source for bioactive secondary metabolites at the same time. The present work concerns a survey of the Hypoxylon

Effect of age and cytoskeletal elements on the indentation-dependent mechanical properties of chondrocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Articular cartilage chondrocytes are responsible for the synthesis, maintenance, and turnover of the extracellular matrix, metabolic processes that contribute to the mechanical properties of these cells.

Bacterial Engulfment Mechanism Is Strongly Conserved in Evolution Between Earthworm and Human Immune Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Invertebrates, including earthworms, are applied to study the evolutionarily conserved cellular immune processes. Earthworm immunocytes (so-called coelomocytes) are functionally similar to vertebrate myeloid cells and form the first line of defense ...

Quantitative Analysis of the Cytoskeleton’s Role in Inward Rectifier KIR2.1 Forward and Backward Trafficking

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Alteration of the inward rectifier current IK1, carried by KIR2.1 channels, affects action potential duration, impacts resting membrane stability and associates with cardiac arrhythmias.

Recovery of aging-related size increase of skin epithelial cells: in vivo mouse and in vitro human study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The size increase of skin epithelial cells during aging is well-known. Here we demonstrate that treatment of aging cells with cytochalasin B substantially decreases cell size.

Cytoskeleton-disrupting agent cytochalasin B reduces oxidative stress caused by high glucose in the human arterial smooth muscle

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2020
The role of cytoskeleton dynamics in the oxidative stress toward human vasculature has been unclear. The current study examined whether the cytoskeleton-disrupting agent cytochalasin B reduces oxidative stress caused by high glucose in the human arterial
