Role of Sialylglycoconjugate(s) in the Initial Phase of Metastasis of Liver-metastatic RAW117 Lymphoma Cells

To elucidate the early events of blood-borne metastasis under actual blood flow, real-time trafficking of RAW117 large cell lymphoma cells, namely parental RAW117-P and liver-metastatic RAW117-H10 cells, was investigated using positron emission tomography (PET). Both types of cells accumulated in the liver immediately after injection via the portal vein, and were eliminated from the liver time-dependently. The elimination rate of RAW117-H10 cells, however, was slower than that of RAW117-P cells, suggesting that RAW117-H10 cells interact more strongly with hepatic sinusoidal endothelium than the parental cells. This result correlated with the metastatic potential of these cells: RAW117-H10 cells metastasized in the liver to a greater extent than RAW117-P cells after injection via this route. To investigate the role of sialylglycoconjugates in the interaction of RAW117-H10 cells with the hepatic endothelium after injection via the portal vein, the trafficking of RAW117-H10 cells was examined after the cells had been treated with sialidase. The elimination rate of RAW117-H10 cells from liver was observed to be greatly accelerated by sialidase treatment. To elucidate what kind of sialylglycoconjugates is related to this phenomenon, we analyzed the distribution of sialyl Lewis A and sialyl Lewis X antigens of both sublines of RAW117 by using flow cytometry. RAW117-H10 cells were found to express a much higher level of sialyl Lewis A than RAW117-P cells, whereas the amount of sialyl Lewis X did not differ significantly. These findings suggest that some sialylglycoconjugates, perhaps sialyl Lewis A in particular, play an important role in the initial interaction of RAW117-H10 cells with the hepatic endothelium, leading to metastasis.

Differential neuroendocrine responsiveness to morphine in Lewis, Fischer 344, and ACI inbred rats

Preclinical evidence suggests there is a link between the responsiveness to stress and the propensity to self-administer drugs of abuse. Our previous findings, for example, have shown a significant positive correlation between the locomotor response to novelty and the acquisition of morphine self-administration in Lewis (LEW), Fischer 344 (F344) and ACI inbred rat strains. As an extension of this work, we now report on the neuroendocrine responses (i.e., corticosterone and prolactin secretion) evoked by morphine administration in these same inbred strains. Male LEW, F344, and ACI rats were surgically prepared with indwelling jugular catheters 7 days prior to the study. Following a habituation period, rats were treated with i.p. saline or morphine (1, 5 or 10 mg/kg). Repeated blood samples were withdrawn via the catheters immediately before and at 20, 40, 60 and 120 min after injection. Plasma samples were assayed for hormone levels by radioimmunoassay. No differences in baseline corticosterone levels were found across strains. There was a significant effect of genotype on the corticosterone response to saline injection (i.e., mild stress), with F344 rats exhibiting sustained elevations in corticosterone compared to LEW and ACI rats. Morphine-induced stimulation of corticosterone release differed significantly across strains, and in this case LEW rats displayed a reduced sensitivity to morphine. Similar to the corticosterone results, LEW rats also had blunted prolactin responses to morphine when compared to F344 rats. Our data demonstrate that genotype is an important factor modulating the neuroendocrine sensitivity to morphine. It is noteworthy that LEW rats acquire self-administration more rapidly than F344 or ACI rats, yet LEW rats display reduced corticosterone responses to stress and morphine. Taking into account the particular conditions of this study (high i.p. doses used here vs. low i.v. doses in self-administration studies), our results do not suggest that corticosterone response to stress and morphine is related to vulnerability to intravenous opiate self-administration. The data, however, are consistent with the idea of that genetic factors might influence the sensitivity to the morphine-induced effects of glucocorticoids across these inbred strains.

Central neurotensin receptor activation produces differential behavioral responses in Fischer and Lewis rats

Rationale Lewis (LEW) and Fischer (F344) rats exhibit marked differences in appetitive and consummatory responses to numerous drugs, including psychostimulants. Neurotensin (NT) produces psychostimulant-like actions, which sensitize with repeated exposure, and neuroleptic-like actions; effects that are dependent on the site of microinjection. The aim of the present experiments was to assess the behavioral sensitivity of these two strains of rats to NT receptor activation. Methods In expt 1, locomotor activity was assessed on alternate days following an ICV injection of NT, [d-Tyr¹¹]neurotensin (d-NT; 18 nmol/10 μl), or vehicle (days 1, 3, 5, and 7) in independent groups of LEW and F344 rats. On day 14, locomotor activity was assessed in all rats following an injection of d-amphetamine (1 mg/kg, IP). In expt 2, activity was assessed following injection into the ventral tegmental area of NT, or d-NT, (2.5 μg/hemisphere) or into the nucleus accumbens (2.5 and 5.0 μg/hemisphere). Results Repeated ICV injections of NT, or d-NT, produced differential behavioral effects in the two strains of rats on days 1–7; activity was initially suppressed in LEW, but less so in F344 rats, following NT. In F344, but not in LEW rats, d-NT produced a significant increase in activity. Neurotensin and d-NT sensitized LEW rats to amphetamine-induced ambulatory and non-ambulatory activity. Except for vertical activity, this effect was weaker or in the opposite direction in F344 rats. When injected into the ventral tegmental area, NT produced an increase in locomotor activity in both strains, an effect that was greater in F344 than LEW rats with d-NT. In the nucleus accumbens, NT marginally decreased activity in both strains, while d-NT produced a significant increase in F344 but not in LEW rats. Conclusions These results provide empirical evidence that endogenous NT neurotransmission within limbic circuitry differs in F344 and LEW rats.
