Here, we investigated its influence on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of rat peritoneal
mesothelial cells (PMCs) in vitro induced by a high-glucose (HG) culture solution.
Significance of AgNOR count in differentiating malignant cells from reactive
mesothelial cells in serous effusions.
Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura is a rare neoplasm arising from
mesothelial cells.
Pericardial cysts are defined as unilocular, fluid-filled masses that arise from the mediastinal fat, with walls composed of connective tissue and a single layer of
mesothelial cells.
Another theory is metaplasia of
mesothelial cells in peritoneal cavity under certain conditions.
The histopathological findings showed reactive
mesothelial cells with a few benign glandular strips favouring the clinical impression of Catamenial syndrome too.
Pleural fluid cytology demonstrated predominantly lymphocytes with few neutrophils and
mesothelial cells and no malignant cell.
1996) Transforming growth factor-beta synthesis by human peritoneal
mesothelial cells.
The peritoneum consists of serous membranes that line the peritoneal cavity through a network of
mesothelial cells and collagen.
Malignant mesothelioma is a highly invasive tumor arising from
mesothelial cells of pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, or tunica vaginalis of the testis.
Similar effect of TGF-[beta]1 has also been found in fibroblasts [30], epithelial cells [31], and
mesothelial cells [11].
Hence, immunohistological analysis helps differentiating between these endothelial and
mesothelial cells [14].
