The effect of serotonin and serotonin antagonists on bladder cancer cell proliferation

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) and its antagonists in the proliferation of high-grade bladder cancer cells (HT1376), as high-grade bladder cancer has a rapid rate of progression, invasion and recurrence, and 5HT antagonists inhibit the growth of the prostate cancer cell line (PC3). MATERIALS AND METHODS: HT1376 (human grade III transitional cell carcinoma) cells were incubated with either 5HT or 5HT antagonists (5HT(1A), 5HT(1B), 5HT(1D), 5HT(2), 5HT(3) and 5HT(4)). After 72 h, cell viability was assessed using the crystal violet assay. The presence of 5HT receptor subtypes on HT1376 cells and sections of human bladder cancer tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. RESULTS: 5HT caused a dose-dependent increase in the proliferation of HT1376 cells. The maximum increase in cell proliferation (12%; 12 samples, P < 0.001) was at 10(-8)m as compared to the control at 72 h. At 10(-4)m, 5HT(1A) antagonist (NAN-190 hydrobromide) and 5HT(1B) antagonist (SB224289 hydrochloride) had a 10% (12 samples, P < 0.001) and 93% (12, P < 0.001) inhibitory effect on HT1376 cell growth, respectively, compared to the control at 72 h. There was immunostaining for 5HT(1A) and 5HT(1B) receptors in HT1376 cells and malignant bladder tissue, confirming the presence of these two receptor subtypes. Western blot analysis showed the presence of 5HT(1A) and 5HT(1B) receptor proteins with bands of 46 kDa and 43 kDa, respectively. CONCLUSION: 5HT(1A) and to a greater extent 5HT(1B) antagonists significantly inhibit bladder cancer cell growth. This effect is probably mediated via the 5HT(1A) and 5HT(1B) receptors. These results highlight the potential use of 5HT(1A) and 5HT(1B) antagonists in the treatment of bladder cancer.     

Lectin-binding sugar chain in bladder tumors

We studied the lectin binding patterns of 40 initial superficial and 10 subsequent invasive bladder tumors by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) method using the following biotin-labeled lectins: PNA, DBA, UEA-I, BS-I, ConA and WGA. We observed the relationship between lectin binding and subsequent course of initial superficial tumors, grade and stage (T). DBA or WGA staining tumors and Con A negative tumors revealed no recurrence or superficial recurrence. Low grade tumors were DBA or BS-I positive and high grade tumors were ConA positive. Low staging tumors possessed DBA or WGA positiveness and high staging tumors had ConA positiveness. From these results we considered that negative staining of WGA or DBA, or positive staining of ConA was a change accompanying the malignant potentiality.     

Lectin affinity of the seminiferous epithelium in healthy and cryptorchid post-pubertal boars

The present study describes the sugar content of the seminiferous epithelium, using lectin histochemistry, in healthy boars and in boars with unilateral and bilateral abdominal cryptorchidism. In healthy boars the apical cytoplasm of Sertoli cells exhibited abundant glucosyl (Con A and WGA lectins), galactosyl (HPA, DBA, SBA and PNA lectins), and fucosyl (AAA lectin) residues. Spermatogonia and spermatocytes contained abundant glucosyl (Con A and WGA lectins) and fucosyl (AAA lectin) residues. In spermatids, galactosyl (SBA and PNA lectins) and glucosyl (Con A and WGA lectins) residues increased progressively throughout spermiogenesis, and fucosyl (AAA lectin) residues decreased. As compared with healthy boars, the scrotal testis of unilateral cryptorchid boars showed decreased amounts of fucosyl (AAA lectin) and galactosyl (HPA and DBA lectins) residues on the Sertoli cell apical cytoplasm; spermatocytes exhibited higher content of glucosyl (Con A lectin) residues and spermatids showed altered nature of glucosyl (Con A and WGA lectins) and galactosyl (SBA and PNA lectins) complexes. In abdominal testes of unilateral and bilateral cryptorchid boars, immature Sertoli cells and spermatogonia showed decreased fucosyl (AAA lectin), and increased glucosyl (Con A and WGA lectins) and galactosyl (SBA and PNA lectins) contents. These results suggest that the seminiferous epithelium of healthy boars has polarized activity with the apical compartment implicated in germ cell-Sertoli cell adhesion and interaction, in transport of ions, substrates and fluids, and in acrosomal differentiation. In scrotal testes, unilateral abdominal cryptorchidism could lead to defective germ cell-Sertoli cell adhesion, impaired acrosomal differentiation and increased ionic transport in the apical compartment of the seminiferous epithelium. Unilateral and bilateral cryptorchidism could induce increased ionic transport and membrane permeability in the seminiferous epithelium of abdominal testes.

Distribution of Lectin Binding in Rat Testis and Epididymis

Summary: Seven lectins (PNA, RCA I, SBA, Con A, WGA, UEA I, DBA) conjugated with rhodamine were employed to analyse the staining pattern of glycoproteins with varying sugar residues in the testis and epididymis of adult Wistar rats. Some lectins (UEA I, SBA, DBA) gave rather specific staining of the mature acrosome, while others (PNA, RCA I) showed affinity for the early stages of acrosome formation or had a wide affinity for germinal and non-germinal cells and structures (Con A, WGA). In the epididymis the sperm mass had a homogenous staining reaction with some lectins (PNA, RCA I, Con A, WGA, DBA) which also showed a rather strong reaction on the epithelial surface. It was concluded that this reaction is at least partially due to the secretory products synthetized by principal, apical, narrow and light cells of the epididymal epithelium. Some differences in the staining pattern of these cells were recorded indicating specialization of the cells for the production of distinct glycoproteins. The staining pattern of the interstitial and intertubular compartment of the testis and epididymis was also recorded. Zusammenfassung: Die Verteilung der Lektin-Bindung im Hoden und Nebenhoden der Ratte Sieben Lektine (PNA, RCA I, SBA, Con A, WGA, UEA I, DBA) wurden verbunden mit Rhodamin verwendet, um das Darstellungsmuster von Glykoproteinen mit verschiedenen Zuckerresten im Hoden und Nebenhoden erwachsener Wistar-Ratten zu analysieren. Einige Lektine (UEA I, SBA, DBA) gaben eine recht spezifische Darstellung des reifen Akrosoms, wohingegen andere (PNA, RCA I) eine Affinität zu den frühen Stadien der Akrosomformation zeigten oder eine breite Affinität zu Germinal- und Nichtgerminalzellen und -strukturen aufwiesen (Con A, WGA). Im Nebenhoden zeigte die Spermatozoenmasse ein homogenes Darstellungsmuster mit einigen Lektinen (PNA, RCA I, Con A, WGA, DBA), welche auf der epithelialen Oberfläche auch eine recht starke Reaktion aufwiesen. Es wurde daraus geschlossen, daβ diese Reaktion zumindest teilweise auf die sekretorischen Produkte, die in den Haupt-, Apikal-, Schmal- und Hellzellen des Nebenhodens synthetisiert werden, zurückzuführen ist. Einige Unterschiede im Darstellungsmuster dieser Zellen wurden aufgezeichnet, die die Spezialisierung der Zellen für die Produktion bestimmter Glykoproteine anzeigen. Das Darstellungsmuster des interstitiellen und intertubulären Anteils des Hodens und Nebenhodens wurde ebenfalls aufgezeichnet.     

Murine hybridoma antibodies against human transitional carcinoma-associated antigens

Spleen cells from mice immunized with the human urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma cell line 647V have been fused with a syngeneic myeloma cell line to produce hybridomas. Screening of supernatants from 40 hybridomas which reacted with the immunizing cell line identified antibodies recognizing a variety of common, shared and tumor-associated antigens as well as newborn calf serum dependent antigens. Three hybridoma antibodies, 9A7 , 2E1 and 2A6 , recognize antigens found on all the human transitional cell carcinoma cell lines and tissue preparations tested, but the antigens were not found on normal human tissue (including urothelium), thus demonstrating the capability of the antibodies to distinguish normal from malignant bladder transitional epithelium. These antibodies, however, otherwise differ in their patterns of reactivity, with 1 recognizing an antigen which is also expressed on highly anaplastic malignant non-transitional cell carcinoma cell lines and tumors, while the other 2 demonstrate reactivities which are far more restricted to transitional cell carcinoma.

Induction of drug-resistant bladder carcinoma cells in vitro: impact on polychemotherapy with cisplatin, methotrexate and vinblastine (CMV)

Residual tumor, tumor progression or relapse after chemotherapy of patients with advanced or metastasized transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCCB) are suggested to reflect intrinsic drug resistance of cancer cells, or the development of chemotherapy-resistant tumor cell populations. The present study aimed to establish drug-resistant subculture cell lines from human TCCB, selected for anticancer drugs, administered in the cisplatin, methotrexate and vinblastine (CMV) polychemotherapy protocol. Tumor cells from chemonaive cell lines of human TCCB (HT1376, TCCSUP) have been exposed to progressively increasing concentrations of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP), methotrexate (MTX), vinblastine (VBL) or etoposide (VP16). The resulting drug-resistant subculture cell lines (HT1376-CDDP, HT1376-MTX, HT1376-VBL, HT1376-VP, TCCSUP-CDDP, TCCSUP-MTX, TCCSUP-VBL, TCCSUP-VP) were analyzed with regard to the achieved resistance factor (RF) for the inductive anticancer agent, the acquisition of cross-resistance, DNA content, cell cycle distribution and cellular morphology. Parental HT1376 cells were intrinsically less sensitive to all anticancer drugs (1.7–50×), compared with TCCSUP cells. Relative resistance against the inductive anticancer agents was similar for the final drug-resistant subculture cell lines of both parental cell lines concerning CDDP and VP-16 (RF: 4–5×), but were reciprocal for MTX and VBL, respectively. MTX led to much stronger resistance (RF > 200) than the other drugs (RF < 10). Pleiotropic cross-resistances were observed in six out of eight (75%) drug-resistant subculture cell lines. Highest RF (50–500×) and frequency of cross-resistance (five of six cell lines) occured for MTX, and the least from exposure to CDDP (one of six cell lines). Overall, the results corroborated the central role of CDDP against urothelial carcinoma whereas repetitive applications of MTX appeared to be a doubtful strategy. Moreover, the experiments provide the largest panel so far of drug-resistant cell lines of human TCCB. They represent an appropriate tool for basic research on drug-resistance mechanisms, for the development and screening of future anticancer drugs or to elaborate strategies to overcome drug resistance for those patients who ultimately fail to respond to standard chemotherapy.

Nitric oxide synthase expression in human bladder cancer and its relation to angiogenesis

Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by the enzyme family of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and plays an important role in tumor growth and angiogenesis. The expression of two of the NOS isoforms, the endothelial and inducible isoforms (eNOS and iNOS, respectively), were evaluated in bladder tissue from patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). The specimens were procured from 58 patients with TCC and 14 cases of normal bladder mucosa were used as a control group. NOS immunohistochemistry was performed and microvessal density (MVD) was determined. iNOS specific proteins were found in 47 of 58 bladder cancer specimens but not in control bladder tissue. The endothelial cells in both normal urothelium and tumor tissue showed a highly positive eNOS immunostaining. The MVD was 39.3+/-19.5 and 29.3+/-10.5 in TCC positive and negative for iNOS, respectively ( P<0.01). A correlation between iNOS immunoreactivity and tumor grade in bladder carcinoma could not be verified. These results indicate that NO generation from iNOS in the malignant epithelium and from eNOS in tumor stroma play a important role in tumor angiogenesis.     

Effect of lectins on KK-47 bladder cancer cell line

The effect of three lectins, Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA II), concanavalin agglutinin (ConA), and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), on KK-47 bladder cancer cell line was studied, RCA II showed effective inhibition of H3-uridine and H3-thymidine uptake by KK-47. ConA showed a stimulatory effect in all three concentrations used. WGA also showed stimulatory effect, but it was less pronounced than ConA.     

Immunohistochemical study of parathyroid hormone-related protein in vesical transitional epithelium of patients with spinal cord injury

INTRODUCTION: Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), in addition to the well-established role in endochrondral bone development, is believed to be an important mediator of cellular growth and differentiation in a number of non-bony tissues. OBJECTIVES: To compare the immunohistochemical staining of vesical transitional epithelium to antibodies raised to synthetic peptides of PTHrP composed of amino acid sequences 43 - 52 and 127 - 138 in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and neuropathic bladder (n=14), and control patients with intact neuraxis and no history of bladder cancer (n=10). SETTING: Male SCI patients registered with Regional Spinal Injuries Centre, Southport, England. INTERVENTION: Endoscopic cold cup biopsy from the trigone of the urinary bladder was taken from patients with SCI while they were undergoing a therapeutic procedure in the urinary bladder. The control samples of bladder biopsies were taken from the archives of the Department of Histopathology, District General Hospital, Southport. Immunohistochemistry was performed using rabbit antibodies raised against synthetic peptides of human PTHrP (43 - 52) and PTHrP (127 - 138). The biopsies were examined for immunostaining of transitional epithelium. RESULTS: Of the 14 biopsies of SCI patients, positive immunostaining using antibodies to both the PTHrP peptides was found in four cases; five biopsies showed positive immunostaining only to anti-PTHrP (43 - 52); and five biopsies showed no immunostaining with either of the PTHrP peptides. In contrast, transitional epithelium in the biopsy specimens of ten control subjects with no history of bladder cancer showed no immunostaining with either of the PTHrP peptides. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the transitional epithelium of neuropathic urinary bladder exhibits increased predilection for positive immunohistochemical staining for PTHrP (43 - 52), and to a lesser extent, to PTHrP (127 - 138), as compared to the vesical transitional epithelium of able bodied individuals with no history of vesical malignancy. The possible role of PTHrP in the cellular differentiation of urothelium of neuropathic bladder, and thereby, in the pathogenesis of cystitis in SCI patients, needs to be explored.

Urine cytology in bladder tumors

A review of experience with urine cytology in the diagnosis and follow up of bladder cancer at Roswell Park Memorial Institute from 1971 to 1981 is reported. All patients had biopsy-proven transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. A total of 677 patients underwent 2,877 cytological evaluations. Of these, 317 patients had concomitant cystoscopy, cytologic evaluations and bladder biopsies. A total of 1,091 evaluations were performed in this group. The overall incidence of positive cytology in the presence of biopsy-proven bladder tumor (all grades included) was 74.4%. A linear correlation is present with grade, stage and positive cytology; high-grade tumors and carcinoma-insitu showed 89.9% and 96.9% incidence of positive cytology, respectively. Grade II tumors showed a 64% incidence of positive cytologies. Regarding correlation with the pathological stage, submucosal involvement of the urothelium was associated with a 62% incidence of positive exfoliative urine cytology, while 80% of tumors invading the bladder muscle were found to have a positive cytology.     

Expression of CD44V2 in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder and in urine

CD44 is the principal cell surface receptor for hyaluronate. Variant forms of the receptor, produced by alternative splicing, have been found to be associated with tumor progression in a variety of cancers. Based on investigations at the RNA level, it has recently been proposed that expression of CD44 variant V2 was present in urothelial cancer but not in normal urothelium. Since a distinctive marker for urothelial cancer would be extremely useful, frozen sections of normal urothelium and urothelial cancer were examined for expression of standard CD44 and CD44V2. Frozen sections of specimens of 35 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, 16 specimens of normal bladder and 5 ureters were examined. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using a polyclonal antibody to CD44V2 (PAB CD44V2), a monoclonal antibody to CD44V2 (MAB CD44V2) and a monoclonal antibody to CD44S (MAB CD44S). CD44V2 and CD44S were also measured in lysates of urine sediments from 21 patients by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). All investigated transitional cell carcinomas expressed CD44V2. There was no differentiation between invasive and noninvasive carcinoma. CD44V2 was also expressed in normal urothelium. Standard CD44 was expressed by the transitional cell carcinoma, normal urothelium, musculature and interstitial tissue. The amount of CD44V2 and CD44S in lysates of urine sediments is not correlated to diagnosis. In contrast to investigations at the RNA level, CD44V2 on the protein level seems not to be a distinctive marker for urothelial cancer. Therefore, CD44V2 will not be a useful diagnostic marker for detection of transitional cell carcinoma.     

Lectin-Binding Sites in Normal Human Testis/Lektinbindungsstellen normaler humaner Hoden

Nine fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled lectins have been used to investigate the distribution of glycoconjugates in unfixed frozen and Bouin-fixed sections of normal human testis. Interstitial cells and lamina propria of seminiferous tubuli were stained by PNA, HPA, RCA II, SBA, ConA, and WGA indicating an abundance of the following glycoconjugates: N-GlcNAc, N-GalNAc, Gal, and Man. The germinative cells were stained cytoplasmatically by ConA (Alpha-D-Man/-Glc). Sertoli cells showed the same pattern with ConA. Early spermatids fixed PNA and RCA II in the acrosomal region. Elongated spermatids fixed WGA on their acrosomes and fainty on the flagellae too indicating abundance of N-GlcNAc residues. The findings argue for differentiation-related modifications of lectin-binding sites on germinative cells and the usefulness of Bouin-fixed samples for lectin histochemistry.

Perilla extract improves frequent urination in spontaneously hypertensive rats with enhancement of the urothelial presence and anti‐inflammatory effects

Objective

To investigate the effects of perilla extract on urinary symptoms in spontaneously hypertensive rats as a model of spontaneous overactive bladder.

Methods

Spontaneously hypertensive rats were randomly divided into two groups and fed either a control diet or a perilla extract‐containing diet. Cystometry, gene expression and histological analyses were carried out to evaluate the effects of perilla extract after 2‐week feeding of either the control or the perilla extract diet. The expression of inflammation‐related genes in the human urothelial cell line HT‐1376 and the normal human bladder epithelial cell was measured after the treatment with perillaldehyde, the main component of perilla extract, or perillic acid, the final metabolite of perillaldehyde.

Results

A significant 27% increase in the micturition interval and decreased expression of nerve growth factor, tumor necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐1β and transient receptor potential V1 were observed in the perilla group compared with the control group. The level of uroplakin 3A was 40% higher in the perilla group than in the control group. The urothelium in the control group was thin or defective, but it was almost completely intact in the perilla group. Perillaldehyde and perillic acid suppressed the induction of nerve growth factor and tumor necrosis factor‐α by interleukin‐1β in HT‐1376 and normal human bladder epithelial cells.

Conclusions

The present findings suggest that perilla extract improves frequent urination, and this improvement seems to be mediated, at least in part, by enhancement of the urothelial presence and by the anti‐inflammatory effects of perilla.
