Example sentences for: actin-dependent
How can you use “actin-dependent” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The functionality of the RhoA of A549 cells is substantiated by a number of previous studies, such as the need for RhoA in bradykinin-mediated activation of NF-kappa B [ 35 ] , and the abrogation of H 2 O 2 -mediated activation of JNK by RhoA antisense oligonucleotide [ 36 ] . Profilin purified from A549 cells is also indistinguishable from HEp-2 cell profilin, in terms its molecular weight, pI, affinity for poly-proline, and ability to stimulate actin-dependent transcription of RSV genome in vitro [ 11 ] . Thus, the inability of A549 cells to elicit actin stress fibers is likely due to an as yet unidentified factor or pathway that may be altered or missing in the A549 cells.
Our results suggest that the effects of BDM on actin-dependent processes such as cell motility and retrograde flow may result from effects on proteins involved in actin polymerization and the leading edge actin itself.
BDM has been used to probe actin-dependent processes on the assumption that it is a specific inhibitor of mysosins.
