Transformation of actin-encapsulating liposomes induced by cytochalasin D
Liposomes encapsulating actin filaments were prepared by swelling at 0 degrees C lipid film consisting of a mixture of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine and cardiolipin (equal amounts by weight) in 100 microM rabbit skeletal muscle actin and 0.5 mM CaCl2 followed by polymerization of actin at 30 degrees C.

Effects of cytochalasin D and latrunculin B on mechanical properties of cells [PDF]
ABSTRACT Actin microfilaments transmit traction and contraction forces generated within a cell to the extracellular matrix during embryonic development, wound healing and cell motility, and to maintain tissue structure and tone. Therefore, the state of the actin cytoskeleton strongly influences the mechanical properties of cells and ...

Effect of cytochalasin D on Toxoplasma gondii cell entry [PDF]
Cytochalasin D did not prevent attachment but did prevent entry of Toxoplasma gondii into peritoneal macrophages and bladder tumor 4934 cells. Inhibition of entry of T. gondii into peritoneal macrophages by cytochalasin D was dose related and comparable to inhibition of phagocytosis. Prevention of entry of T.

The Effect of Blebbistatin and Cytochalasin D on Force Generation in DRG Lamellipodia [PDF]
We have used optical tweezers to analyse the effect of Blebbistatin and Cytochalasin D on the force exerted by lamellipodia from developing growth cones of isolated Dorsal Root Ganglia neurons. In the presence of 20 μM Blebbistatin, a well known inhibitor of Myosin II, force generation still occurs but with a slower rate and a reduced velocity of the ...

Actin polymerization. The mechanism of action of cytochalasin D. [PDF]
Fluorescence changes using actin covalently labeled with N-(1-pyrenyl)iodoacetamide have been used to determine the effect of cytochalasin D on actin polymerization. A mechanism for the effect of cytochalasin D on actin polymerization is presented, which explains the experimental observation of a cytochalasin D-induced increase in the initial rate of ...

Endometrial apoptosis increases from the proliferative phase through the secretory phase and peaks at menses. However, with the onset of pregnancy, the corpus luteum is rescued and stromal cells, instead of undergoing apoptosis, reorganize the ...
