Words similar to mitogenic
Example sentences for: mitogenic
How can you use “mitogenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
eIF4E gene transcription is enhanced in response to mitogenic stimulation and may be mediated by c-myc [ 3 ] . Phosphorylation of eIF4E by the protein kinase Mnk1 increases its affinity for the cap, and thus increases cap-dependent initiation of translation [ 4 5 6 ] . An inhibitor of eIF4E, 4E binding protein (4EBP), is also regulated by phosphorylation.
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.
Prior studies in HIV-1 transgenic animals support the model that HIV-1 gene products interact with endogenous mitogenic pathways in infected renal epithelium.
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 ] .
Interestingly, this synergy is only observed in response to mitogenic stimulation by Ras.
