- Effect of hot water extract of Chlorella vulgaris on cytokine expression patterns in mice with murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome after infection with Listeria monocytogenes.
Hasegawa T, Kimura Y, Hiromatsu K, Kobayashi N, Yamada A, Makino M, Okuda M, Sano T, Nomoto K, Yoshikai Y Immunopharmacology 1997 Jan 35:3 273-82 Abstract We have previously reported that oral administration of hot water extract of Chlorella vulgaris (CVE) enhances resistance to Listeria monocytogenes through augmentation of Listeria-specific cell-mediated immunity in normal mice and mice with murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (MAIDS) caused by murine leukemia virus (MuLV) LP-BM5. To elucidate the mechanisms whereby CVE augments the cell-mediated immunity, we examined the expression patterns of mRNA for cytokines in normal and MAIDS mice given CVE orally after L. monocytogenes infection. The expression levels of IL-1 alpha, IL-12, GM-CSF, MIP and TNF alpha genes were significantly augmented in the peritoneal adherent cells by oral administration of CVE for 2 weeks before Listeria infection. The expression levels of gamma IFN and IL-12 mRNA were significantly higher in the spleen after Listeria infection in CVE-treated mice than in normal mice, while the expression of IL-10 mRNA in the spleen was decreased by CVE administration. In MAIDS mice, oral administration of CVE also augmented the expression of gamma IFN and IL-12 mRNA in the spleen after Listeria infection, while it rather reduced the expression of IL-10 mRNA. These results suggest that CVE may preferentially augment THI responses against Listeria via activation of macrophages to produce IL-12 and enhance host defence against Listeria infection both in normal and MAIDS mice.
- Augmentation of antitumor resistance by a strain of unicellular green algae, Chlorella vulgaris.
Tanaka K, Konishi F, Himeno K, Taniguchi K, Nomoto K. Cancer Immunol Immunother 1984 17:2 90-4 Abstract Growth of Meth-A tumor in CDF1 mice was inhibited significantly by injection of a hot water extract of a strain of Chlorella vulgaris (CE) into the tumor or into the subcutaneous tissue near the tumor. The augmentation of resistance by CE may require the participation of T cells and macrophages, since it was abolished or reduced in athymic nude mice or mice treated with carrageenan, a macrophage blocker. Mice treated with CE exhibited antigen-specific augmented resistance against rechallenge with tumor. Moreover, the antitumor effect of CE was comparable with that of Corynebacterium parvum, but its mechanism of effect might be different.
- Immunomodulation by a unicellular green algae (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) in tumor-bearing mice.
Miyazawa Y, Murayama T, Ooya N, Wang LF, Tung YC, Yamaguchi N J Ethnopharmacol 1988 Dec 24:2-3 135-46 Abstract A unicellular algae, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was used as a biological response modifier. In C57BL/6(B6), C3H/He and DDD/1 mice, both intraperitoneal or oral administrations of autoclaved Chlorella cells or heat-extracted substance were carried out every other day for 10 days before mouse mammary carcinoma (MM-2) or Ehrlich ascites cells were transplanted into the peritoneal cavity. In case of mouse leukemia cells (EL-4), subcutaneous transplantation was carried out. All control mice died within 20 days after each tumor cell transplantation, while 73.3-80% of the treated groups survived over 60 days in the combination of MM-2 vs. C3H/He and EL-4 vs. B6, respectively. The cytotoxic activities against tumor cells, that were abolished by treatment with anti-Thyl.2 monoclonal antibody plus complement, were evidenced in the experimental host. Since Chlorella cells and derivatives showed no indication of direct in vitro cytotoxicity to either tumor or mouse spleen cells, the antitumor effects documented may be mediated by host immune response.
- Exploring the Role and Potential of Cell Growth Factor (CGF) in Cellular Regeneration
Abstract : Cell Growth Factor (CGF) has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its crucial role in cellular regeneration and tissue repair. This article delves into the mechanisms, applications, and future prospects of CGF in medical science. Introduction : Cell Growth Factor (CGF) is a protein that stimulates cellular growth and proliferation. It plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, including wound healing, tissue regeneration, and cellular differentiation. The discovery of CGF has opened new avenues for understanding and enhancing the body's natural healing mechanisms. Mechanisms of CGF : CGF exerts its effects by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface, triggering a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways. This activation leads to increased cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, crucial steps in tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, CGF has been shown to modulate the immune response, reducing inflammation and promoting a more favorable healing environment. Applications of CGF : The therapeutic potential of CGF has been explored in various medical fields. In dermatology, CGF has been used to treat chronic wounds, burns, and scars, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of infection. In orthopedics, CGF has demonstrated efficacy in bone and cartilage regeneration, offering hope for patients with degenerative joint diseases. Furthermore, CGF has also found applications in cardiovascular medicine, where it has shown promise in promoting angiogenesis and improving heart function after myocardial infarction. Future Prospects : The ongoing research on CGF holds promise for further advancements in regenerative medicine. With the development of more targeted delivery systems, the efficacy and specificity of CGF-based therapies are expected to improve significantly. Additionally, combining CGF with other growth factors or stem cell therapies may unlock even greater regenerative potential. Conclusion : Cell Growth Factor (CGF) represents a powerful tool in regenerative medicine, with the potential to revolutionize treatment approaches for various medical conditions. Its ability to stimulate cellular growth, promote tissue regeneration, and modulate the immune response makes it a versatile therapeutic agent. As research continues to unveil the full potential of CGF, we can look forward to more effective and targeted regenerative therapies in the future.
