Example sentences for: mitogenic
How can you use “mitogenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Mesangial cells, adult skin fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells from SPARC-null mice proliferate faster than their respective wild-type counterparts in media containing fetal bovine serum (FBS) [ 17 ] . Although embryonic fibroblasts from the SPARC-null mice grow at the same rate as the wild-type cells when they are cultured in FBS, the SPARC-null embryonic fibroblasts exhibit down-regulated proliferation as compared to the wild-type cells when the fibroblasts are cultured in serum-free medium containing insulin as the sole mitogenic factor [ 16 ] . Thus, it appears that the role of SPARC in cell proliferation is cell type and environment dependent.
Based on the observations that TCF factors as well as p35-C/EBPβ: (1) interact with SRF (2) transactivate the SRE and (3) are responsive to Ras-dependent signaling pathways, we tested the possibility that both TCF and p35-C/EBPβ are necessary for maximal induction of the SRE in response to mitogenic stimulation.
The Ras/MAPK pathway is typically thought to be a part of a mitogenic pathway [ 36 ] . However, we and others have shown that prolonged treatment with III1-C can inhibit cell proliferation [ 3 4 ] , and here we show that cell adhesion to III1-C can activate ERK1/2.
The ability of 5-HT to activate the ERK pathway is consistent with 5-HT's role as a mitogenic stimulus and vasoconstrictor.
The effects of PGs on cell proliferation and collagen production have been widely studied in different cell types [ 13 14 15 16 17 26 ] . TXA 2 has been studied extensively because of its apparent role in atherosclerosis, due to its prothrombotic and mitogenic activities on vascular smooth muscle cells [ 15 16 ] . These mitogenic effects are potentiated by growth factors [ 15 16 27 28 ] . In vascular smooth muscle cells TXA 2 stimulates synthesis of bFGF and increases the expression of the proto-oncogenes c-fos , c-myc , and egr-1 , which are associated with entry into the cell growth cycle [ 15 ] . In addition, TXA 2 increases proliferation of fibroblasts [ 13 ] and smooth muscle-like glomerular mesangial cells [ 14 ] .
