Morphological heterogeneity and phenotypical instability versus metastatic stability in the murine tumor model ER 15-P

Summary At clinical presentation, the majority of malignant tumors are composed of multiple clonal subpopulations of tumor cells with different phenotypic characteristics. Using the experimental tumor model ER 15-P, a methylcholanthrene-induced pleomorphic sarcoma of the C57 Bl₆J mouse, we studied a system of long-term in vivo passages of this primary tumor for cell morphological changes, and alterations in the potential for spontaneous lung metastases. Transplants from the primary after the 4th, 20th, 40th and 80th i.m. passage (referred to as T4, T20, T40, and T80 respectively) together with their lung metastases were investigated by light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy. In addition, the potential for metastasis to the lungs in each group was determined and compared with that of the parent T4 tumors. T4 tumors were mainly composed of spindle-shaped tumor cells with the ultrastructural features of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, often arranged in a storiform or fasciculated growth pattern, and intermingled with tumor giant cells. Some small areas contained polygonal or rounded tumor cells, ultrastructurally undifferentiated, and sometimes arranged in a hemangiopericytoma-like growth pattern. Although electron-microscopical findings clearly demonstrated the mesenchymal origin of these tumor cells, immunostaining with a polyclonal antibody to vimentin was unspecific in all tumor cells and normal mouse tissue. Monoclonal antibodies to vimentin from different sources were completely negative in tumor cells and murine stromal components. In contrast, myofibroblast-like tumor cells showed immunohistochemically, a moderate to strong co-expression with monoclonal antibodies to desmin, muscle actin and ER="0">-smooth muscle actin. On the basis of these morphological findings, the primary ER 15-P was classified as a pleomorphic myofibrosarcoma. The lung metastases of T4 tumors were mainly composed of undifferentiated round to polygonal tumor cells, while the number of desmin-positive, muscle- and ER="0">-smooth muscle-actin-positive cells was reduced. The morphological features of T20 tumors and their lung metastases were the same as in T4, indicating a relative stability of the phenotype up to that stage. In contrast, T40 and T80 tumors and their lung metastases were found to contain almost exclusively undifferentiated tumor cells and many tumor giant cells. While fibroblast-like tumor cells were seen only occasionally, myofibroblast-like tumor cells had almost completely disappeared. The potential for lung metastases was nearly constant in all groups, suggesting metastatic stability. Obviously, the undifferentiated tumor cells of this model are associated with a higher metastatic potential.Abbreviations T4, T20, T40, T80 transplants from the primary tumor after the 4th, 20th etc. i.m. passage - MFH malignant fibrous histiocytoma     

Estrogenic activity of estradiol and its metabolites in the ER-CALUX assay with human T47D breast cells

A number of metabolites of 17beta-estradiol were tested for their estrogenic activity using the ER-CA-LUX assay based on the increased expression of luciferase in exposed T47D breast cancer cells. E2beta and estrone showed similar potencies in the test, whereas E2alpha was 100 times less active. Incubation of cells with estrone (0.35 microM) resulted in the formation of E2beta, whereas the reverse reaction was observed for E2beta. The resulting equilibrium may explain the similar estrogenic potency of estrone in the test. The synthetic 17-hydroxy benzoate ester of E2beta was 3 times less active than the parent compound. The 17-hydroxy palmitate and oleate esters of E2beta, were respectively 25 and 200 times less active than the parent compound. The 2-hydroxy metabolites of E2beta and estrone showed a 5,000 to 10,000 fold lower activity. The 4-hydroxy metabolites were more potent than the 2-hydroxy metabolites, showing only a 20-200 times lower activity. The 2- and 4-methoxyesters of estrone were 700 times less active. It is concluded that the estrogenic potency of metabolites formed in cattle after treatment with E2beta, like estrone, E2alpha and especially the esters of E2beta, may be significant with respect to the potential risk of the use of estradiol for growth promotion in domestic animals in certain countries.     

Ectopic T cell receptor expression causes B cell immunodeficiency in transgenic mice

Mice expressing transgenic T cell receptors (TCR) are used to explore important questions in immunity. However, transgene expression may have unexpected effects. We previously reported a B cell immunodeficiency, comprising decreased B cell numbers and diminished antibody responses, in mice that express a transgenic TCR specific for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; the mice were generated using cassette vectors designed specifically for transgenic TCR expression [see Kouskoff et al. J. Immunol. Methods 1995. 180: 273-280]. We now show data suggesting that this defect is due to the expression and accumulation of TCR alpha and beta chains inside B cells and induction of an endoplasmic reticulum stress response, causing apoptosis at the pre B-I and later B cell stage. Thus, inappropriate transgene expression can profoundly affect B cells, leading to a previously undescribed mechanism of immunodeficiency.

目的:对比氨氯地平与非洛地平缓释剂治疗轻中度原发性高血压的疗效和安全性;每日1次服药对24小时动态血压的影响;并对比药物漏服对血压控制的影响。方法:76例轻、中度高血压患者被随机、双盲分成两组,分别每日口服1次氨氯地平5～10mg(Ⅰ组)或非洛地平缓释剂5～10mg(Ⅱ组),治疗12周,并用24小时动态血压监测评价用药前后24小时血压变化情况及漏服48小时的血压变化。结果:氨氯地平治疗组舒张压降低15.1mmHg(治疗末为84.8mmHg),非洛地平缓释剂治疗组舒张压降低15.3mmHg(治疗末为85.0mmHg)。总有效率Ⅰ组病人为83.8％,Ⅱ组为87.9％(P=NS)。在药物的初始剂量下即能达到有效血压控制的病人数Ⅰ组为76％,Ⅱ组为52％(P<0.01)。药物漏服24和48h后,Ⅰ组临床血压仍低于140/90mmHg,24小时动态血压与漏服前相比无显著性差异,而Ⅱ组的临床血压高于140/90mmHg,临床血压和24小时动态血压与漏服前相比具有显著性差异。两治疗组的副作用发生率均较低。结论:氨氯地平与非洛地平缓释剂均能有效降低轻、中度高血压病人的血压,安全、疗效可靠,病人耐受性好,但漏服试验表明漏服24与48h氨氯地平仍能较好的控制血压。Ⅰ组的血压波动明显低于Ⅱ组。
