Neoglycoprotein binding to colorectal tumour cells: Comparison between primary and secondary lesions

Summary Biotinylated neoglycoproteins are useful to determine the expression of sugar receptors (lectins) histochemically in routinely processed tissue sections. Assessment of the presence of distinct receptor classes with specificity to-galactosides and to- or-N-acetylgalactosamine, selected on the basis of their potential relevance for recognition processes within the metastatic cascade in murine model systems, was performed for a common human tumour type, colorectal cancer. The four different types of neoglycoproteins, derived from covalent attachment of commercially available derivatives of-N-acetylgalactosamine, differed only quantitatively in their capacity to detect specific binding on cultured cells and tissue sections, thus posing no major restriction on the choice of synthetic process for histochemical efficiency of the product. Glycocytological application revealed specific probe binding and a regulation of level of receptor expression for a human colon carcinoma cell line primarily forN-acetylgalactosamine-specific receptors upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation. Monitoring of sections of the 12 cases of primary and secondary colorectal lesions invariably disclosed the presence of the respective receptors, the extent of cell labelling in primary tumours and metastases being similar. Establishment of metastases, even in different target organs, is apparently not followed by a major phenotypic variation in this feature.     

Evaluation of stromal metalloproteinases and vascular endothelial growth factors in a spontaneous metastasis model

This study aims to investigate MMP2 and MT1-MMP protein as well as VEGF-C and VEGF-D mRNA expression in tumor cells and distant organs considered to be targets for metastasis in a tumor spontaneous metastasis model previously described. Cultured tumor cells, able to express pro-MMP2, MMP2, pro-MMP9, and MT1-MMP, develop tumor growth and metastasis, mainly in the liver and spleen, when they are injected in the mammary pad gland of Wistar rats. Immunohistochemical studies of tumor masses showed small groups of tumor cells staining for MT1-MMP but not for MMP2. In the liver, tumor metastatic foci and a stromal positive staining for both MMP2 and MT1-MMP were shown. The spleen and lymph nodes, with only scattered metastatic cells, did not show MMPs immunostaining. Using RT-PCR, a significantly higher VEGF-C and VEGF-D gene expression was shown in the liver of tumor-bearing rats respect to normal rats, whereas spleen and lymph nodes did not show significant differences in mRNA VEGF-C/D levels. Taken together, our results suggest that the stroma microenvironment of target organs for metastasis has the ability to produce MMPs and VEGFs that facilitate the anchorage of tumor cells and promote tumor cell growth and angiogenesis.     

直肠癌转移与癌组织微血管密度的关系

目的:分析直肠癌组织的微血管密度(MVD)变化及其对癌转移的临床诊断价值。方法:采用免疫组织化学法,对72例手术切除直肠癌组织标本进行微血管标记;在光学显微镜下测定其MVD。将所有患者的临床及追踪随访资料与其手术标本的MVD数据进行统计分析。结果:有转移直肠癌组织的MVD高于无转移者(106.12±32.18vs84.26±27.13),差异有非常显著性意义。结论:直肠癌组织的MVD增加对诊断癌转移有一定的临床价值。     

Differential uptake of systemic fluorochrome Hoechst 33342 in lung and liver metastasis of B16 melanoma

Summary The growth and vascularization patterns of B16 melanoma colonies in the liver and lungs were measured and compared by histological techniques and dye diffusion patterns after injection of the fluorochrome Hoechst 33342. In the liver, the fluorescent pattern of dye diffusion revealed that uninodular tumours measuring up to 146 n in diameter were not functionally vascularized. However, when the nodules fused to give rise to multinodular tumours measuring between 256 and 366 n in diameter, a reticular dye diffusion pattern revealed functional tumour vascularization. In the lungs, subpleural, parenchymal and peritubular (i.e. surrounding blood vessels and airways) tumours were observed. The two former classes were vascularized down to thicknesses and diameters of 49 and 24 m respectively. In contrast, dye diffusion was never seen in peritubular tumour cuffs up to 609 m in thickness. The results indicate differences in vascularization patterns in B16 tumours in the liver and lungs, and differences between tumours growing in different sites within the lungs. If these results are applicable to metastases in these two organs, they indicate potential diffusion-mediated resistance to chemotherapy, and potential hypoxia-mediated resistance to radiotherapy of both metastases and micrometastases.

Peritoneal implantation of meningeal melanosis via ventriculoperitoneal shunt: A case report and review of the literature

Systemic spread of primary intracranial neoplasms is rare and may be due to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS). The most common tumors to metastasize via VPS are germinoma of the pineal gland and medulloblastoma. We report a case of 16-yr-old girl with central nervous system malignant melanosis who developed subsequent peritoneal implants via VPS. To the best of our knowledge, this patient represents the third reported case of meningeal melanosis or melanoma which metastasized to the peritoneal cavity via VPS. The VPS should be considered as possible mode of systemic spread in patients with primary cranial malignancy. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of recurrent and metastatic mixed mesodermal tumors

We report the cytological and clinical findings of 16 fine-needle aspirates (FNAs) performed on recurrent (n = 6) and metastatic (n = 10) mixed mesodermal tumors (MMMTs). The median interval between the primary diagnosis and FNA was 16 mo. Primary sites were the endometrium (n = 11), the ovary (n = 3), the cervix (n = 1), and pelvic soft tissue (n = 1). Primary tumors showed carcinoma with homologous mesenchymal components in 13 cases and focal heterologous elements in three (two chondrosarcomas and one rhabdomyosarcoma). The FNAs showed carcinoma in all 16 cases, with adenocarcinoma differentiation in three, Mesenchymal elements were identified in aspirates of three recurrent and two metastatic lesions. They were all homologous. No heterologous mesenchymal elements were identified in the aspirates. We conclude that mesenchymal components in FNAs of MMMTs are less likely to be seen in metastatic lesions, and that heterologous mesenchymal components are rarely seen in these aspirates even in recurrent disease. These findings confirm that the epithelial component is responsible for the malignant behavior of MMMTs, and suggest that these lesions may need to be classified as sarcomatoid carcinomas rather than true carcinosarcomas.
