Studies of effects of anticancer agents in combination with/without hyperthermia on metastasized human bladder cancer cells in chick embryos using the polymerase chain reaction technique

Cultivated T24 cells derived from a human bladder cancer were inoculated into the chorioallantoic membrane vein of chick embryos. Hyperthermic treatment was performed following injection of anticancer agents 3 days after the inoculation of the T24 cells. DNA samples were obtained from the livers of the chick embryos, and the polymerase chain reaction technique was used to amplify a DNA fragment specific to the human -globin gene. The Southern hybridization method was used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of anticancer agents in combination with/without hyperthermia on T24 cells metastasized to the liver. The hyperthermia exerted an inhibitory effect on the growth of the T24 cells in the livers of the chick embryos, and this was dependent on the thermal dose. The antitumor effects of hyperthermia performed at 42.5° C for 20 min and at 43.0° C for 10 min were evidenced by 69.2% an 82.0% inhibition of the growth of the metastasized T24 cells, respectively, as compared with the growth of untreated T24 cell. Hyperthermia performed at 42.5° C for 10 min alone produced 26.7% tumor growth inhibition, and these conditions for hyperthermia were subsequently used as a criterion for evaluating the effects of its combination with various anticancer agents. Adriamycin (20 g/egg) alone, mitomycin C (10 g/egg) alone, carboplatin (10 g/egg) alone, and cisplatin (10 g/egg) alone produced 13.5%, 58.9%, 27.3%, and 29.1% tumor growth inhibition, respectively. Adriamycin and mitomycin C applied in combination with hyperthermia showed additive inhibitory effects on the growth of the metastasized T24 cells in this chick embryo model.

人类白细胞抗原B27亚型基因与急性前葡萄膜炎的相关性研究

目的 探讨人类白细胞抗原B27亚型基因与急性前葡萄膜炎(acute anterior uveitis,AAU)易感性的关系。 方法 对49例临床确诊的AAU患者,通过聚合酶链反应(polymerase chain reaction, PCR)特异性扩增技术检测B27;以B27阳性者的DNA为模板对其人类白细胞抗原HLA-B的第二、三外显子片段扩增。采用DNA测序技术对扩增产物做基因序列分析,经计算机处理获得受检者HLA-B27亚型的信息。 结果 受检者中29例为B27阳性,占59.39%,其中仅发现B2704(13例,占44.00%)和B27052(16例,占56.00%)二种亚型基因携带者。二者间多数临床表现差异不大,但携带B27052基因的AAU患者伴发强直性脊柱炎(ankylosing spondylitis, AS)的人数(7人,占24.24%)显著高于B2704基因携带者(1人,占3.74%)。 结论 B2704和B27052单独的亚型特异性与AAU无易感性关联;但B27052基因可能与并发AS有关。 (中华眼底病杂志, 1999, 15:139-142)     

Experience with the PCR-based HLA-DQα DNA typing system in routine forensic casework

Summary The results of HLA-DQ typing from 42 routine forensic cases using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were analyzed regarding the reliability, discrimination efficiency and informative value of this system in a given case. The cases included stain typing from a variety of different substrates, i.e. blood and semen stains, mixed body fluids, single hairs, cigarette butts, material from fingernail scratches, as well as identification and paternity cases on postmortem and fixed tissue. A total of 125 individual stain and tissue samples were included. PCR amplification was achieved in 70% of these samples. In cases with mixed body fluids, e.g. sperm and vaginal cells from rape cases, DQ typing was always carried out successfully. However, only approx. 42% of all samples that could be typed were relevant regarding the inclusion or exclusion of a suspect. This was mostly due to the limited number of alleles that can be typed at the HLA-DQ locus or to the fact that the stain or hair samples did not originate from the perpetrator, but from the victim or from other persons not related to the crime.     

X-Ray Structure and Crystal Lattice Interactions of the Taxol Side-Chain Methyl Ester

A colorless, parallelepiped crystal of methyl (2R,3S)-N-benzoyl-3-phenylisoserinate belonging to the space group P2_l with a = 5.414(4), b = 7.813(1), c = 17.802(7) , = 90.87(4)°, Z = 2, V = 752.9 ³, D _calc = 1.32 g cm^–3, and µ_calc = 1.02 cm^–1 was selected and the structure solved using direct methods. Refinement led to a final R = 0.079 for 819 [F _o 5(F_o)] reflections. Intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are prevalent in the crystal lattice of this compound.     

Detection of a rare point mutation in Ki-ras of a human bladder cancer xenograft by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing

Summary This paper represents the first report of a codon 59 mutation in Ki-ras from a spontaneous human transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Point mutations have the potential to activate the ras genes if they occur in critical coding regions. These include the sequences of codons 12, 13, 59, 61 and 63. Mutations in codons 12, 13 and 61 have been reported in a wide variety of human cancers, including transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. However mutations in codon 59 have been reported only in retroviral Ki-ras and as a result of in vitro mutagenesis experiments. We have used the polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing to detect mutations of Ki-ras, and allele-specific restriction analysis to detect mutations of N-ras in xenografts and continuous cell lines established from bladder cancer biopsies of ten different patients as well as in direct biopsy specimens from five human bladder tumours. For studies of Ki-ras, a 139 bp fragment which spanned the critical codons 12 and 13 and a 128 bp fragment that spanned the sequences of codon 59, 61 and 63 were enzymatically amplified and then sequenced. No N-ras mutations were detected. A heterozygous mutation of Ki-ras at codon 59 GCA G/ACA was detected in one line. This mutation is being expressed and appears stable as it was detected over several xenograft passages and was present in paraffin-embedded tissue from the primary tumour of the patient. The biological significance of the mutation in bladder cancer is currently under study.
