Effect of somatostatin on the proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes in vitro. 1985

M Pawlikowski, and H Stepien, and J Kunert-Radek, and A V Schally

The effect of somatostatin on the spontaneous proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes was investigated in vitro. The rate of 3H-thymidine incorporation was used as an index of lymphocyte proliferation. Somatostatin in a concentration of 10(-7) M enhanced the lymphocyte proliferation and abolished the antiproliferative effect of rat hypothalamic extract. Lower concentrations of somatostatin slightly decreased the lymphocyte DNA synthesis.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.
