(2) Thus, PacA and PacB are two essential bacteriophage proteins required for recognition and cleavage of the P1 packaging site.
(3) To test this hypothesis, membranes of MIA PaCa-2 cells, a human dedifferentiated pancreatic cancer cell line, were incubated without hormone (control) or with 0.1 microM EGF or somatostatin analogue RC-160 for 1 hr at 4 degrees C to phosphorylate the 60-kDa protein.
(4) Upon analysis of the morphologic characteristics of the protoscoleces derived from the cysts, the sizes of rostellar hooks from the material from the paca were found to be well within the ranges reported in previous studies.
(5) A membrane receptor and a cytosolic receptor for somatostatin were found in a human undifferentiated pancreatic cancer cell line (MIA PaCa-2).
(6) In vitro studies revealed that the relatively resistant cell line, WD PaCa (or well-differentiated pancreatic adenocarcinoma of the Syrian hamster), actually had higher ADR cellular levels than the sensitive cell line, PD PaCa (or poorly differentiated pancreatic adenocarcinoma of the Syrian hamster).
(7) 5,575, 1986]; one transcript predicts an amino acid sequence identical to that predicted by our MIA PaCa-2 cDNA clone; the other transcript predicts a similar protein containing a three amino acid residue insertion.
(8) In this investigation, the human pancreatic undifferentiated cell line, MIA PaCa-2, was compared with PANC-1 cells (a human ductal cell line previously characterized), isolated rat and human ducts, acinar cells, and nonpancreatic cell lines.
(9) Approximately 75% of the amino acids identified in both MIA PaCa CSF-1 and murine CSF-1 were found to be common to both.
(10) The established cell line (MIA PaCa-2) has a doubling time of 40 h. The cells are large with abundant cytoplasm, exhibit a high degree of aneuploidy and have a tendency to grow on top of other cells.
(11) With this assay, androgen receptors were detected in five fresh human pancreatic adenocarcinoma specimens (three male), two pancreatic cancer cell lines (Mia PaCa 2 and Ger), one xenograft tumor which responded to androgens, five specimens of normal adult pancreas (two male), and a pool of fetal pancreatic tissue.
(12) It is suggested that the antileishmanial action of PIHCA and other PACA nanoparticles results from the activation of respiratory burst in macrophages.
(13) Human cell lines resistant to L-asparaginase or albizziin were isolated by multistep selection of HT1080 fibrosarcoma and MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic carcinoma cells.
(14) Maximal response to CCK8 occurred at the 10(-9) M dose for each cell line: MIA PaCa-2, 40% (P less than 0.025); PANC-1, 85% (P less than 0.001); RWP-2, 68% (P less than 0.001) and CAPAN-2, 52% (P less than 0.001).
(15) Two human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines (PANC 1 and MIA PACA 2) were examined for expression of growth factors that could potentially play a role either in growth regulation of the tumor cells, or in cells that comprise the stromal elements of tumors.
(16) The administration of etoposide prior to FP resulted in synergistic cytotoxicity in L1210, HCT-8, Mia PaCa, MCF-7, and T47-D cells while the reverse sequence resulted in additive or antagonistic cytotoxicity in L1210, HCT-8, and Mia PaCa cells.
(17) The production of plasminogen activator by Mia PaCa-2 cells is totally inhibited by actinomycin D and cycloheximide.
