Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small cell tumor presenting as an acute abdomen after trauma

The intraperitoneal mass most commonly encountered after blunt abdominal truama is a hematoma. However, one must also consider unusual bulky tumors that can have imaging characteristics similar to those of hematoma. The most typical of these neoplasms is lymphoma, but a desmoplastic small cell tumor also may be observed. The presentation and imaging findings of a desmoplastic small tumor are described.     

Peritoneal Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors with Divergent Differentiation: A Review

Peritoneal desmoplastic small round cell tumors with divergent differentiation are recently described highly aggressive neoplasms with characteristic clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical features. This review covers 38 cases that have been reported in the literature. The average age of patients is 18.4 years, and males are affected twice as frequently as females. Tumors generally present as multiple peritoneal nodules without obvious organ involvement. Histology shows islands of small cells set in dense desmoplastic stroma. Immunohistochemical stains are usually positive for cytokeratins, epithelial membrane antigen, desmin, and vimentin. Many cases also stain for neuron-specific enolase but rarely for other neuroepithelial markers. Ultrastructural appearances range from undifferentiated small cells to larger epithelial elements. Paranuclear aggregates of intermediate filaments are characteristic. Dense-core granules and other neuroendocrine features have been described in a minority of cases. Some tumors respond to chemotherapy, but most patients die within months to a few years. The histogenesis of these tumors is uncertain.     

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma coexistent with a hepatocellular carcinoma of common type: Report of a case

A case of small fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) coexistent with a HCC of common type is herein reported. A 56-year-old man was diagnosed as having multi-nodular type HCC with liver cirrhosis. The serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level was slightly increased. The patient underwent a partial caudate lobectomy and lateral segmentectomy. Histologically, both resected tumors were small HCCs measuring less than 2 cm in diameter. One was a fibrolamellar type located in the caudate lobe, while the other was the common type in the lateral segment of the liver. Positive immunohistochemical staining for AFP was observed in the tumor cells of the HCC of common type but was not observed in the fibrolamellar HCC. We also reviewed previously reported cases of fibrolamellar HCC in Japan, and discussed the clinicopathologic implications of this disease.

Human isolated small intestine: motor responses of the longitudinal muscle to field stimulation and exogenous neuropeptides

Summary (1) Longitudinal muscle strips from the human small intestine (jejunum/ileum) responded to electrical field stimulation (1–50 Hz) with frequency-related primary contractions which were largely atropine- (3 M) sensitive. When the tone was raised by addition of galanin (0.3 – 1 M), prostaglandin (PG) E₂ (1–10 M) or neurokinin A (NKA, 0.1 M), a frequency-related relaxation was evident which was potentiated by atropine. All the responses to field stimulation were abolished by tetrodotoxin (1 M), thus indicating their neural origin. (2) The atropine-sensitive primary contraction to field stimulation was virtually abolished by omega conotoxin fraction GVIA (CTX, 0.1–0.3 M) while the relaxations were CTX-resistant. The field stimulation-induced relaxations, which were observed in the presence of atropine and guanethidine (3 M), were also unaffected by apamin (0.1 M). (3) NKA and substance P (SP) produced a concentration- (1 nM–1 M for both peptides) related contraction, NKA being about 53 times more potent than SP. [Pro⁹]SP sulphone and [MePhe⁷]-NKB, selective agonists of the NK-1 and NK-3 receptor, respectively, were barely effective. On the other hand, [\Ala⁸]NKA(4–10), a selective NK-2 receptor agonist, had a potent contractile activity, similar to that of NKA. (4) Galanin (1 nM–1M) produced an atropine- and tetrodotoxin-resistant concentration-related contraction of longitudinal muscle of human isolated small intestine. The response to galanin did not show any sign of fading and was particularly suitable to study the evoked relaxations. (5) Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) (10–100 nM) consistently inhibited the nerve-mediated contractions of strips from the ileum while the effect on the jejunum was less pronounced. Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP, 0.1–1 M) inhibited nerve-mediated contractions both in the ileum and the jejunum. (6) These experiments indicate that both cholinergic excitatory and non-adrenergic non-cholinergic nerves affect motility of the longitudinal muscle of the human small intestine. Furthermore, several neuropeptides produce potent motor effects, the contractile response to tachykinins being apparently mediated by activation of NK-2 receptors.     

Enhancement of immunogenicity of Jeg3 cells by ectopic expression of HLA-A*0201 and CD80

PROBLEM: The choriocarcinoma cell line Jeg3 suppresses immunity in vitro by secretion of soluble factors like leukemia inhibitory factor suppressing leukocyte activation. The cells lack expression of classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B alleles but express some HLA-C, and non-classical HLA-G and -E. Upon binding to killing inhibitory receptor on natural killer (NK) cells, HLA-G prevents activation of cytolytic activity. We investigated whether Jeg3 cells are capable of immune stimulation after complementation with classical HLA and T cell costimulatory signal CD80. METHOD OF STUDY: Jeg3 cells were transduced to express HLA-A*0201 and/or CD80. Parental Jeg3 or transfectants Jeg3-A2, Jeg3-CD80 or Jeg3-CD80-A2 were used to stimulate allogeneic resting and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The different cell lines were loaded with a HLA-A2-restricted Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) recall antigen peptide epitope and antigen presenting ability was examined. T cell lines specific for Jeg3 and transfectants were generated from HLA-A2 matched and nonmatched donors and compared for expansion, phenotypes and cytolytic activity. RESULTS: While all Jeg3 cell lines induced only marginal proliferation of resting T cells, phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-activated T cells were stimulated by CD80 or CD80-A2 expressing Jeg3. Only the transfectant Jeg3-CD80-A2 was capable of specific T cell stimulation by EBV recall antigen presentation. T cell lines of HLA-A2 non-matched donors stimulated with the Jeg3 transfectants showed significant expansion only when HLA-A2 and the costimulus CD80 were present. T cells from HLA-A2 positive donors did not expand significantly or differentially. No NK cells grew under any condition. In Jeg3-CD80-A2 stimulated T cells lines CD8+ cells expanded preferentially. These T cells exerted cytolytic activity toward all Jeg3 cell lines. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that, in spite of immunosuppressive mechanisms, proliferative and cytolytic T cell responses are induced by Jeg3 cells when classical HLA- and/or costimulatory signals are present on the cells.

CD5 (OKT1) augments CD3-mediated intracellular signaling events in human T lymphocytes

CD5 is expressed on thymocytes, all mature T cells, and a subset of mature B cells, and probably contributes to T-cell–B-cell adhesion. We assessed whether CD5-crosslinking by mAb augments T-cell stimulation. Plate-bound anti-CD5 or anti-CD3 mAb alone had no effect on any of the assessed activation parameters of resting T cells. However, concomitant signaling through both CD5 and CD3 by plate-bound antibodies resulted in marked increases in T-cell surface CD69 expression and T-cell metabolism, as assessed by the T cell's ability to reduce 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxylmethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulphophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) to formazen. In addition, simultaneous cross-linking of CD5 and CD3 caused a significant (p < 0.001) increase in phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis in resting T cells compared to stimulation with anti-CD3 mAb alone or anti-CD3 mAb plus anti-CD5 isotype control antibody. These results indicate that CD5 augments signaling through CD3 and consequently functions as a costimulatory molecule for resting T cells.
