横纹肌样瘤的起源研究——高变异率BHK-21细胞致裸鼠产生恶性横纹肌样瘤的实验研究

横纹肌样瘤（ＲＴ）的起源迄今仍是世界上悬而未决的重大难题。第一例ＲＴ发现于肾脏。但迄今发现的ＲＴ均难以复制成功。在纯化３代的肿瘤阴性对照猫肾和犬肾原代细胞皮下接种裸鼠的致癌／致瘤率为０％（０／３２）,肿瘤阳性对照Ｈｅｌａ细胞皮下接种裸鼠产生进行性生长恶性肿瘤的比率为１００％（４０／４０）的前提下,ＢＨＫ－２１细胞皮下接种裸鼠均产生进行性生长的恶性肿瘤（６５／６５）,其中染色体众数为４０±２（比率５８％～６８％）的ＫＡ株致ＲＴ比率为５２．３８％（１１／２１）,具有两个染色体众数４０±２（比率４１％～５３．５）和７２±２（比率３１％～３５％）的ＹＡ株致ＲＴ的比率为８３．３３％（１０／１２）,染色体众数为７３±３（比率４２％～５０％）的成瘤细胞体外再培养ＮＭ２８／ＹＡ株致ＲＴ的比率为７１．４３％（１５／２１）,染色体众数为４２（比率２８％～３０％）的Ｍ株致ＲＴ的比率为０％（０／１０）,致形态类似于分化比较好的平滑肌肉瘤的恶性肿瘤的比率为１００％（１０／１０）,可见ＢＨＫ－２１细胞不能用作病毒活疫苗培养基质,可替代Ｈｅｌａ细胞用作恶性肿瘤阳性对照细胞。高变异率ＢＨＫ－２１细胞株皮下接种无胸腺裸鼠大多产生恶性ＲＴ（２６／４２）,但要求完形活细胞接种量要大（２～９×１０７／鼠）,肿瘤产生迅速,生长快速,血管丰富,供血充分,接种细胞后１０～２０天或２～３周肿瘤长径×短径均值基本达到３０ｍｍ×２０ｍｍ标准。其它高变异率细胞系接种丧失免疫机能的无菌实验动物,如环境条件和生长状况达到上述标准,理当可能产生恶性ＲＴ。ＲＴ在模型动物体内的首次发现和成功复制,为弄清ＲＴ的起源问题提供了机会。可见,肾上皮是恶性ＲＴ的重要起源组织,本研究开辟了ＲＴ起源研究的新阶段。克隆出致ＲＴ的高变异率ＢＨＫ－２１细胞株,建立ＲＴ裸鼠模型,并应用于ＲＴ的临床诊断防治或进一步探索,都具有重大意义。

Assessing the tumorigenic phenotype of VERO cells in adult and newborn nude mice.

VERO cell lines are important substrates for viral vaccine manufacture. The mechanism by which these cells became neoplastically transformed is unknown. During tissue-culture passage, VERO cells can develop the capacity to form tumors. Although at the passage levels (around p140) currently used for vaccine manufacture, VERO cells are non-tumorigenic, questions have been raised about safety issues that might be associated with this capacity to acquire a tumorigenic phenotype. To begin to address these issues, the tumorigenicity of VERO cell lines, derived at different passage levels under different growth conditions, were evaluated in 365-day assays in adult and newborn nude mice. High passage (p>200) VERO cell lines established by random passaging in tissue culture produced tumors in adult (10 out of 27) mice and newborn (21 out of 30) mice, respectively. In contrast, a high passage (p>250) cell line established by passage at sub-confluence produced tumors only in newborn mice (16 out of 30). Progressively growing tumors began forming at 36 days in newborns and at 69 days in adults. Higher tumor incidences and shorter tumor latencies suggest that newborn nude mice may be more sensitive than adults in detecting the expression of a tumorigenic phenotype by some VERO cell lines.     

Evaluation of tumorigenic potential of high yielding cloned MDCK cells for live-attenuated influenza vaccine using in vitro growth characteristics,metastatic gene expression and in vivo nude mice model

Several mammalian cell lines, including Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells have been approved by regulators for manufacturing of human vaccines. A new MDCK 9B9-1E4 cloned cell line has been created which is capable of producing live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) with high yield. This cell line was shown to be non tumorigenic in eight week old adult athymic nude mouse model. This property is desirable for vaccine production and is unique to this cell line and is not known to be shared by other MDCK cell lines that are currently used for vaccine production. This significant difference in tumorigenic phenotype required further characterization of this cell line to ensure its safety for use in vaccine production. This is particularly important for LAIV production where it is not possible to incorporate a virus inactivation and/or removal step during manufacturing. Characterization of this cell line included extensive adventitious agent testing, tumorigenicity and oncogenicity assessment studies. Here, we describe the development of tumorigenic MDCK cell lines for use as positive controls and in vitro methods to aid in the evaluation of the tumorigenicity of MDCK 9B9-1E4 cloned cells. Tumorigenic MDCK cells were successfully generated following Hras and cMyc oncogene transfection of MDCK 9B9-1E4 cloned cells. In this study we demonstrate the lack of tumorigenic potential of the MDCK 9B9-1E4 cloned cell line in adult athymic nude mice model.     

Identification of a human chromosome 11 gene which is differentially regulated in tumorigenic and nontumorigenic somatic cell hybrids of HeLa cells.

The tumorigenicity of HeLa cells in nude mice can be suppressed by the addition of a normal human chromosome 11 in somatic cell hybrids. We have attempted to identify specific genes involved in this phenomenon by transfecting a complementary DNA expression library into a tumorigenic HeLa-fibroblast hybrid. A cell line designated F2 was isolated which displayed morphological features of the nontumorigenic hybrids, demonstrated reduced tumorigenicity in nude mice, and showed an 85% reduction in alkaline phosphatase, a consistent marker of the tumorigenic phenotype in these cells. F2 contained a single exogenous complementary DNA, which was recovered by polymerase chain reaction and designated HTS1 because of its potential association with "HeLa tumor suppression." Northern blot studies suggested differential regulation of the HTS1 gene dependent on the tumorigenicity of the cell. In nontumorigenic hybrids, RNA species of 2.8, 3.1, and 4.6 kilobases were identified. In two tumorigenic hybrid lines, the 2.8-kilobase species was markedly reduced or absent. Similarly, three nontumorigenic human keratinocyte lines expressed all three RNA species, whereas several tumorigenic cervical carcinoma cell lines lacked the 2.8-kilobase species. Chromosome localization studies mapped the HTS1 gene to chromosome 11p15, a region of chromosome 11 that is believed to contain a tumor suppressor gene. These findings indicate that HTS1 represents a novel chromosome 11 gene which may be a target of the tumor suppressor gene active in this system.     

Tumorigenicity of Vero cells

One of the current criteria for evaluating the acceptability of cell lines for use in vaccine production is lack of tumorigenicity. Vero cells represent an example of a class of cells known as continuous cell lines. They were derived from African green monkey kidney, and their growth properties and culture characteristics have many advantages over other cell substrates for use in vaccine production. We have tested Vero cells for tumorigenicity in nude mice and in a human muscle organ culture system, and found a significant increase in their tumorigenic potential with increasing passage numbers. Cells at passage 232 and higher produced nodules in all nude mice inoculated. Histologically the nodules were well defined, anaplastic tumors, which exhibited some of the characteristics of renal adenocarcinomas. In about 6 to 8 days all of the nodules began to regress. Data were obtained that suggested an immune mechanism was the basis for the regression phenomenon.     

Transfer of a normal human chromosome 11 suppresses tumorigenicity of some but not all tumor cell lines

The complete suppression of tumorigenicity of a human cervical cancer cell (HeLa) and a Wilms' tumor cell line (G401) following the introduction via microcell fusion of a single chromosome t(X;11) has been demonstrated by Stanbridge and co-workers. To determine whether other tumor cell lines are suppressed by chromosome 11, we performed chromosome transfer experiments via microcell fusion into various human tumor cell lines, including a uterine cervical carcinoma (SiHa), a rhabdomyosarcoma (A204), a uterine endometrial carcinoma (HHUA), a renal cell carcinoma (YCR-1), and a rat ENU-induced nephroblastoma (ENU-T1). We first isolated a mouse A9 cell containing a single human chromosome 11 with integrated pSV2-neo plasmid DNA. Following microcell fusion of the neo-marked chromosome 11 with the various tumors mentioned above, we isolated clones that were resistant to G418 and performed karyotypic analyses and chromosomal in situ hybridization to ensure the transfer of the marked chromosome. Whereas the parental cells of each cell line were highly tumorigenic, SiHa and A204 microcell hybrid clones at early passages were nontumorigenic in nude mice and HHUA was moderately tumorigenic. On the other hand, YCR-1 and ENU-T1 microcell hybrid clones were still highly tumorigenic following the introduction of chromosome 11. Thus, the introduction of a normal chromosome 11 suppresses the tumorigenicity of some but not all tumors, suggesting that the function of the putative suppressor gene(s) on chromosome 11 is effective only in specific tumors.     

Tumorigenicity testing of primate cell lines in nude mice, muscle organ culture and for colony formation in soft agarose

Primate neoplastic and finite cell lines were tested in one in vivo and two in vitro test systems: adult nude mice, muscle organ culture (MOC) and soft agarose (SA). Comparison of the sensitivity of the systems indicated that nude mice were inferior to either in vitro system: WI-38 VA13 (an SV40 transformed cell line) did not cause tumours in these animals yet it behaved as if it were neoplastic in MOC and formed colonies in SA. There was complete correlation between results obtained in MOC and SA. All cell lines which produced tumors in vivo were positive in both in vitro test systems. None of the lines which showed normal patterns in MOC and in SA was tumorigenic in nude mice. Since testing in vitro is simpler, faster, and is thought to be reliable, we recommend SA followed by MOC as the initial assays for determining tumorigenicity of cells.     

Characterization of chemically and virally transformed variants of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells

Oncogenic derivatives of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells were isolated in the nude mouse, and nononcogenic anchorage-independent transformants were isolated in vitro following chemical mutagenesis in vitro. These transformed cell lines as well as a Moloney sarcoma virus (MSV) transformed line were characterized with respect to their serum and anchorage requirements, growth rates, final saturation densities, and sensitivities to contact inhibition. None of these in vitro growth characteristics were found to correlate with tumorigenicity in nude mice. One tumorigenic clone, MDCK-T1, was characterized with respect to serum-free growth requirements, cAMP production, and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. These cells exhibited a significant reduction in the PGE1 requirement for growth, they produced higher levels of cAMP, and they expressed a reduced level of ODC activity relative to the parental MDCK cells. These findings may reflect changes in growth control mechanisms which accompany kidney epithelial cell tumorigenesis and suggest that the study of transformed lines derived in this manner could lead to the identification of in vitro properties which are associated with malignancy.
