We conclude that Sfrp1 and Sfrp2 act to prevent myoblasts from entering the terminal differentiation process.
MIBG reversibly inhibited both proliferation and differentiation of embryonic chick myoblasts grown in culture.
For seven of the best inhibitors , inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in intact C3H1OT1/2 cells was studied as a function of the inhibitor concentration of the culture medium , and the concentration for 50 % inhibition (culture medium IC50) was determined.
Inhibitors of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP , EC 2.4.2.30) are of clinical interest because they have potential for improving radiation therapy and chemotherapy of cancer.
