Madara, J. L. & Stafford, J. Interferon-gamma directly affects barrier function of cultured intestinal epithelial monolayers.
Beattie, G.M., Butler, C. & Hayek, A. Morphology and function of cultured human fetal pancreatic cells transplanted into athymic mice: a longitudinal study.
The results showed that SAPNF exhibited improving effects on viability and function of cultured islets, protecting the one from H/R-induced damage.
Additionally, we also illustrate the disparity between gene expression and protein function in simple 2D culture modes, and that recreation of a physiologically mimetic 3D environment is necessary to induce both expression and function of cultured hepatocytes.
Some reports suggest that GIT cells may be less responsive to nanomaterial toxicity, but it is also clear that nanomaterials may affect the function of cultured GIT epithelial cells in ways that are not detected by standard toxicity assays.
So, the endocrine function of cultured HAECs can be assessed by detecting the above-mentioned factors in the supernatant.
Unfortunately, the effects of electric stimulation on the development and function of cultured muscle cells remain controversial and vary between different muscle cell types and stimulation conditions [9], [10], [11], [12].
We applied transepithelial electric resistance and dextran permeability testing to evaluate the barrier function of cultured airway epithelial cells.
Kränkel et al. (20) demonstrated that high glucose impairs proliferation, survival, and function of cultured EPCs, with concomitant decreased NO production and MMP-9 activity.
Treatment with TSLP rapidly enhanced the barrier function of cultured HNECs together with an increase of tight junction proteins claudin-1, -4, -7, and occludin.
Results demonstrated that the majority of the multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa clinical strains were attenuated in their ability to disrupt the barrier function of cultured intestinal epithelial cells.
