  • It is important to point out that H 2 O 2 showed a very steep dose-response curve in primary RPE cultures under our experimental conditions such that an increase of H 2 O 2 concentration from 1 mM to 1.2 mM for one-day treatment caused a decrease in viability from ~100% to ~10% of control (Fig.

  • These agents decrease the metabolic demand of the renal tubular cell, reducing its oxygen requirement and hence increasing its resistance to ischemia [ 46] and perhaps to other toxic insults as well.

  • The expression of C/EBPα-GFP or GFP-C/EBPα resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the amount of cells blocked in G2/M upon nocodazole treatment compared to sham-transfected cells (Fig.

  • Progression of granulation tissue to neodermis requires a decrease in cellularity through apoptosis of endothelial cells, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts [ 28 29 ] . Keloid fibroblasts demonstrate aberrant apoptotic behavior [ 30 31 ] although studies have given variable results [ 5 9 11 30 31 32 33 34 35 ] . Our initial data for serum-starvation-induced apoptosis in monolayer cultures of dermal fibroblasts demonstrated delayed apoptosis of keloid fibroblasts and a negative correlation with α-SMA expression [ 36 ] . Similar correlations were observed in rat lung fibroblasts, where TGFβ1 increased α-SMA content while acting as an antiapoptotic agent [ 37 38 ] . It should be noted however, that many of the myofibroblasts were still able to undergo apoptosis consistent with in vivo data on palatal wound healing [ 39 ] . Thus, TGFβ1 can promote both α-SMA expression in the initial stages of wound healing and apoptosis in later stages of wound healing.

  • Do they include a decrease in alcohol consumption or decreases in negative consequences, such as drinking and driving violations or school and work problems?
