Validation of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions for evaluation of invasive character of urinary bladder carcinoma in rats and mice

A series of 8 rat and 16 mouse invasive bladder carcinomas were investigated for the presence of silverstained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) to clarify whether this parameter is applicable to the estimation of their invasive character. With regard to number of AgNORs per cell, neither rat nor mouse carcinomas showed any difference between invasive and noninvasive sites within the same tumor. However, the frequency of cancer cells bearing bizarre dots, irregular in size and shape, was significantly higher at sites of actual invasion. Quantitative data generated using an image analyzer revealed significantly lower values for NOR roundness and significantly larger NOR size in invasive sites than in noninvasive sites in all groups. Double staining for the proliferation marker proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and AgNORs was performed on eight rat carcinomas and a close correlation between the two was confirmed. Thus the number of AgNORs in PCNA-positive cells was significantly greater than in PCNA-negative cells. Furthermore, a particularly strong correlation was observed for incidences of PCNA-positive cells and bizarre dots (P<0.01). The quantitative data also demonstrated significant differences in size and shape of dots. It is concluded that AgNORs have diagnostic value for the invasive character of bladder carcinomas.     

细胞荧光素酶报告基因试验受CpG岛甲基化状态影响

Objective To investigate the effects of methylation status of CpG islands of endogenous E-cadherin (CDH1) gene on the promoter activity of corresponding genes in reporter assays. Methods The methylation statuses of CpG island of CDHI in 8 different cell lines were detected by methylation-specific PCR. CDH1 protein was analyzed by Western blotting. Two sets of pGL3 reporter vectors with different genotypes/haplotypes of the CDH1 promoter were constructed [pGI3-A(-73)/-C(-73)pGL3-H1/-H4]and used to transfect these cell lines. The differences between these promoter reporter vectors were analyzed by t-test. Results (1) CDH1 CpG island was unmethylated in AGS, MCF7, MKN74, and PC-3 cell lines,expressed in MCF7, MKN74, and PC-3 ,but not in AGS. Expression of CDH1 was silenced by methylation in HeLa, BGC823, A549, and RKO cell lines. (2) In the four CDH1 -unmethylated MCFT, M KN74, PC-3, and AGS cell lines ,the promoter activities of pGI3-C(-73)(as 0. 78±0. 10,0. 17±0.01,0. 11±0. 01,1.19±0. 18)were significantly higher than those of pGL3-A(-73)(as 0. 30±0. 08,0. 07±0. 01,0. 07±0. 01,0. 39±0. 04) (t values are -6. 298, -12. 349, -8. 128, -7.388, and P<0. 01). However, in the four C DH1 -methylated HeLa, BGC823, A549, and RKO cell lines, the promoter activity of pGL3-C(-73)(as 0. 09±0. 02,0. 13±0. 02,0. 05±0. 01,0. 01±0. 00) was significantly lower than that of pGL3-A(-73)(as 0. 16±0. 01,0.25±0.01,0. 11±0.03,0.03±0.00) (t valued at 5.958,11. 189,3. 661,13. 866,and P<0.05). (3) In the unmethylated MKN74 and methylated RKO cell lines, the promoter activities of pGI3-H1/-H4 were obviously and contrarily different(as 1.57±0. 23/0. 94±0. 06 and 0. 38±0. 02/0. 50±0. 04 ,t values were 4. 577 and -4. 915 ,P values were 0. 010 and 0. 003). Conclusion The methylation status of CpG island of the target gene in the tested cell lines affects the promoter activity in Reporter Assay significantly. The most active one may be the most suppressive one.     

Lindane inhibition of [35S]TBPS binding to the GABAA receptor in rat brain.

The inhibition of [³⁵S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([³⁵S]TBPS) binding to the GABA_A receptor by the insecticide γ-hexachlorocyclohexane, lindane, was studied in several brain regions and using different membrane preparation methods, both in vitro and after dosing the animals with the chemical. In the latter studies, the amount of lindane remaining in the membrane suspensions used for binding assays was determined. In vitro data showed values of IC₅₀ from 150 to 1675 nM, varying in function of the membrane preparation method used. This may account for the discrepancies in IC₅₀ values found in the literature. IC₅₀ values within the range of 150–250 nM were determined using extensively washed membranes from several brain regions, so no evidence arose for brain regional differences in the affinity of lindane for the TBPS binding site. After different schedules of acute treatment with lindane, we found a manifest relationship between the extent of the observable inhibition of [³⁵S]TBPS binding and the lindane amount remaining in the membrane suspensions used for binding assays. This relationship was in good agreement with the in vitro data, so no support for an in vivo acute regulation of the binding site was obtained.     

Morphometric study of nucleolar organizer regions in human oral normal mucosa, papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma

A morphometric study of nucleolar organizer regions (NOR) was performed to analyze their distribution, volume, number and shape in the different strata of human normal oral mucosa epithelium and papilloma and in squamous cell carcinoma employing microphotographs of silver-stained paraffin sections. The different NOR-related parameters evidenced significant differences between normal mucosa, papilloma and squamous cell carcinoma. The functional polarity of normal mucosa epithelium and of papilloma is also evidenced in terms of NOR-related parameters. The discriminative value of certain NOR parameters was demonstrated.
