Increased expression of lymphocyte-derived cytokines in benign hyperplastic prostate tissue, identification of the producing cell types, and effect of differentially expressed cytokines on stromal cell proliferation.
Gero Kramer,Georg E. Steiner,Alessandra Handisurya,Ursula Stix,Andrea Haitel,Birgit Knerer,Alois Gessl,Chung Lee,Michael Marberger +8 more
TL;DR: Expressions and impact of lymphocyte‐derived growth factors on prostatic stromal cell growth were investigated in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Magnetic cell separation for purification of human oral keratinocytes: an effective method for functional studies without prior cell subcultivation.
Michael Formanek,Andreas F. P. Temmel,Birgit Knerer,Martin Willheim,Werner Millesi,J. Kornfehl +5 more
TL;DR: The findings show that MACS appears to be a useful tool for purification of oral keratinocytes and allows for further functional studies without prior subcultivation of cells.

Molecular analysis of p21 promoter activity isolated from squamous carcinoma cell lines of the head and neck under the influence of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 and its analogs.
TL;DR: The ability of vitamin D analogs to act via the same molecular mechanism as the natural hormone but with less hypercalcemic activity may have therapeutic implications for patients with SCCHN malignancy.

Antiproliferative effects of the biologically active metabolite of vitamin D3 (1,25 [OH]2 D3) on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines
TL;DR: A receptor-mediated, dose-dependent inhibition of neoplastic growth by 1,25(OH)2D3 in human SCCHN lines is demonstrated.

IL-1 and TNF-alpha but no IL-2 expression is found in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck by RT-PCR
Birgit Knerer,Wolfgang Hulla,Helga Martinek,Michael Formanek,Andreas F. P. Temmel,J. Kornfehl +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that there is a lack of cytokines typical for a specific, T-cell mediated immune response in SCCHN, a number of cytokine which are required for the initial steps of immune response however are produced.
