Proliferation and 3H-proline incorporation were studied autoradiographically in cells of Dupuytren's fibromatosis. It was observed that cells in the fibromatous tissue only exhibit a minimal proliferation rate. Increased 3H-thymidine labelling was found in vascular and perivascular cells. The

The aim of the present study was to analyze the MEN1 and gsα gene mutations in a Chinese patient with growth hormone-producing pituitary tumors causing acromegaly, papillary thyroid carcinoma and subcutaneous fibroma. Genomic DNA was isolated from the patient and 10 healthy controls, and prepared

The mechanisms of denture-induced gingival hypertrophy remain to be explored. Since fibroblast proliferation and bone resorption characterize this disorder, the possible involvement of cytokines was investigated. Gingival fibroblasts were obtained from six patients with denture fibromatosis (Den-Fb)

Tissue infiltration is different in desmoid and fibroma tumours. Both produce high levels of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1), which is related to extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation which in turn regulates cell function and cell migration. Interactions between collagen, proteoglycans

The proliferative rate and synthesis of proteins was studied in histiocytofibromas and in nodules of Dupuytren's palmar fibromatosis. Incorporations of tritiated thymidine and tritiated proline were used and revealed by autohistoradiography. In the two diseases, proliferation and protein synthesis

Retroperitoneal fibromatosis herpesvirus (RFHV), the macaque homolog of the human rhadinovirus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), was first identified in retroperitoneal fibromatosis (RF) tumor lesions of macaques with simian AIDS. We cloned and sequenced the ORF73 latency-associated

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare, autosomal dominant form of gingival overgrowth. Affected individuals have a benign, slowly progressive, nonhemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of the oral masticatory mucosa. Genetic loci for autosomal dominant forms of HGF have been localized to

OBJECTIVE The current study sought to investigate the effect of the estrogen metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeOHE(2)) on apoptosis, cell proliferation, and collagen synthesis in human and rat leiomyoma cells. METHODS [(3)H] thymidine and [(3)H] proline incorporation studies were conducted. The

Cementum has been shown to contain unique polypeptides that participate in cell recruitment and differentiation during cementum formation. We report the isolation of a cDNA variant for protein-tyrosine phosphatase-like (proline instead of catalytic arginine) member-a (PTPLA) from cementum. A

The purpose of the present study was to compare protein and matrix molecular (collagen and fibronectin) metabolism among fibroblasts cultured from two types of hyperplastic gingiva and normal tissues. Cell cultures were obtained from tissue explants of normal gingiva, the periodontal ligament (PDL),

The contribution of plasma protein(s) to the stabilization of fibroids formed in rat lungs exposed to acute silica dust inhalation was examined. Antibodies against component proteins of the nodules remaining insoluble in 2% SDS, 10M urea and 40 mM sulfhydryl reagents under prolonged boiling

Multiple cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas is an autosomal dominant condition that results in benign smooth muscle tumours of the skin and, in females, uterine fibroids. This syndrome overlaps with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer syndrome in which affected individuals may develop the
