[Extracts of regenerating Planarians regulate proliferation of vertebrate cells]. 1987

I M Sheĭman, and Kh P Tiras, and G F Aptikaeva, and S A Pavulsone

The effects of extracts from intact and regenerating planarians on cell behaviour in culture were studied. The extracts were added to the culture of Chinese hamster fibroblasts and to the primary culture of human lymphocytes. Some extracts contained active agents which influenced the proliferation of fibroblasts increasing or decreasing the mitotic index. The extracts exerted no effect on the mitotic index of lymphocytes. When the extracts were added to the lymphocyte culture together with phytohemagglutinin, which induces the proliferation, the mitotic index somewhat increased. The extracts of regenerating planarians contain factors which activate and inhibit cell proliferation in culture. The active factors stimulated, rather than induced proliferation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D010932 Planarians Nonparasitic free-living flatworms of the class Turbellaria. The most common genera are Dugesia, formerly Planaria, which lives in water, and Bipalium, which lives on land. Geoplana occurs in South America and California. Dugesia,Dugesias,Planarian
