Magnetite Nanoparticles Inhibit Tumor Growth and Upregulate the Expression of P53/P16 in Ehrlich Solid Carcinoma Bearing Mice

Background

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have been widely used as contrast agents and have promising approaches in cancer treatment. In the present study we used Ehrlich solid carcinoma (ESC) bearing mice as a model to investigate MNPs antitumor activity, their effect on expression of p53 and p16 genes as an indicator for apoptotic induction in tumor tissues.

Method

MNPs coated with ascorbic acid (size: 25.0±5.0 nm) were synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized. Ehrlich mice model were treated with MNPs using 60 mg/Kg day by day for 14 injections; intratumorally (IT) or intraperitoneally (IP). Tumor size, pathological changes and iron content in tumor and normal muscle tissues were assessed. We also assessed changes in expression levels of p53 and p16 genes in addition to p53 protein level by immunohistochemistry.

Results

Our results revealed that tumor growth was significantly reduced by IT and IP MNPs injection compared to untreated tumor. A significant increase in p53 and p16 mRNA expression was detected in Ehrlich solid tumors of IT and IP treated groups compared to untreated Ehrlich solid tumor. This increase was accompanied with increase in p53 protein expression. It is worth mentioning that no significant difference in expression of p53 and p16 could be detected between IT ESC and control group.

Conclusion

MNPs might be more effective in breast cancer treatment if injected intratumorally to be directed to the tumor tissues.     

Carcinoma Infection and Immune Systems of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma-Bearing Mice Treated with Structurally Similar Sulfonium Compounds

The effects of intraperitoneal administration of dimethylsulfonioacetate (DMSA), dimethlsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and methylmethionine (MeMet) solutions (10 mM each) on the body weights and the hematological parameters (red and white blood cells) of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing mice were examined for up to 10 d. Body weights significantly increased in the EAC-bearing mice treated with and without MeMet in contrast to those with DMSA and DMSP. This increase was attributed to the increased amounts of ascitic fluid. EAC-bearing mice with and without MeMet both showed abnormal values of hematological parameters, while those with DMSA and DMSP exhibited almost normal levels on the 10th day.     

Conspicuous Growth of Intravenously Inoculated Staphylococcus aureus in Subcutaneously Established Ehrlich Ascites Tumor Tissue of Mice

Intratumoral growth of Staphylococcus aureus was compared with the intrarenal growth, to examine the usefulness of the method as a marker of its pathogenicity. When 5 × 10⁷ CFU/mouse of three derivatives from S. aureus Cowan I with different intrarenal growth were intravenously injected into Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice, they lodged in the tumor tissue at approximately 10³ CFU/0.1 g by 30 min after infection, and grew in the range of 10⁶ CFU/0.1 g to 10⁸ CFU/0.1 g by day 4, regardless of their intrarenal growth capacity. In contrast, S. saprophyticus lodged in both tissues to the same degree as S. aureus, but did not grow at all. The time course of the staphylococcal growth was different between tumor tissue and kidney, suggesting differences in the local responses against S. aureus.

Effects of Radiations on Blue-green Algae: II. Effects in Growth

The unicellular blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans was repeatedlytreated with X-rays and radiophosphate (32P) during successivesubcultures. The strains so obtained were characterized by comparisonwith the untreated control strain, with respect to their resistanceto ultraviolet light, X-rays, streptomycin, and isoniazid. The³²P-treated strain was found to be relatively more resistantto streptomycin than the untreated strain and the X-rayed strainwas found to be relatively rnore sensitive to isoniazid thanthe control. In old cultures, cells of the X-rayed strain weresignificantly smaller than those of the untreated strain. The effects of X-rays on cell- and heterocyst dimensions ofthe nitrogen-fixing alga Chlorogloea fritschii Mitra were studied.In the irradiated material the cell diameter and heterocystbreadth were greater, rather than smaller, than in unirradiatedmaterial.

Effect of Chronic Restraint Stress on Human Colorectal Carcinoma Growth in Mice

Stress alters immunological and neuroendocrinological functions. An increasing number of studies indicate that chronic stress can accelerate tumor growth, but its role in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) progression is not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chronic restraint stress (CRS) on CRC cell growth in nude mice and the possible underlying mechanisms. In this study, we showed that CRS increased the levels of plasma catecholamines including epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE), and stimulated the growth of CRC cell-derived tumors in vivo. Treatment with the adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists phentolamine (PHE, α-AR antagonist) and propranolol (PRO, β-AR antagonist) significantly inhibited the CRS-enhanced CRC cell growth in nude mice. In addition, the stress hormones E and NE remarkably enhanced CRC cell proliferation and viability in culture, as well as tumor growth in vivo. These effects were antagonized by the AR antagonists PHE and PRO, indicating that the stress hormone-induced CRC cell proliferation is AR dependent. We also observed that the β-AR antagonists atenolol (ATE, β1- AR antagonist) and ICI 118,551 (ICI, β2- AR antagonist) inhibited tumor cell proliferation and decreased the stress hormone-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) in vitro and in vivo. The ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126 also blocked the function of the stress hormone, suggesting the involvement of ERK1/2 in the tumor-promoting effect of CRS. We conclude that CRS promotes CRC xenograft tumor growth in nude mice by stimulating CRC cell proliferation through the AR signaling-dependent activation of ERK1/2.     

Immunological Studies on Antisera of Mice Immunized with Dried or DEPC-treated Ehrlich Ascites Tumor Cells

Intracellular arylsulfatases from Klebsiella aerogenes W70 cells grown in methionine medium (M enzyme) and inorganic sulfate medium containing tyramine (T enzyme) were purified respectively by fractionation with (NH₄)₂SO₄, followed by successive chromatographies on DEAE cellulose, hydroxylapatite, Sephadex G-100 and DEAE Sephadex A-25. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the two enzymes gave single bands with the same mobilities. Molecular weights of both, determined by SDS gel electrophoresis and by Sephadex G-100 chromatography, were 47,000 and 45,000, respectively. Their activities were maximal at pH 7.5. The affinities of the enzymes (M and T enzymes) for their substrate (Km) and the maximum velocity of hydrolysis (V_max) were enhanced by addition of electron withdrawing substituents. The enzymes were inhibited by inorganic phosphate, cyanide, hydroxylamine and tyramine. The inhibition by tyramine was competitive (Ki = 1.0 × 10^?4 m). These results show that the two enzymes were identical. This was confirmed by the fact that mutant strains, which were unable to synthesize arylsulfatase when grown with methionine, could also not synthesize the enzyme when grown with tyramine.     

Effects of Monochromatic Radiations on Growth of Pelargonium Callus Tissue

Pith callus tissues were grown under continuous blue (450 mµ),green (545 mµ), red (650 mµ), and ‘white’(full-spectrum) light, and in the dark for 22 days at 27±2°C at energy levels of 15,000 ergs cm^–2 sec^–1. Mean increases in fresh weight of tissues grown under ‘white’and blue light were significantly greater than those of tissuesgrown in green and red light and in the dark. Tissues grownin the dark yielded mean fresh weight increases significantlylower than tissues grown under blue, red, and ‘white’light. No significant differences were shown between blue and‘white’, red and green, and green and dark treatmentsrespectively. Cell differentiation occurred in all treatmentsonly to the extent of vessel element formation. There were nodifferences in degree of differentiation between treatments. It was proposed that the high-energy reaction of photomorphogenesiswas in operation in the Pelargonium callus tissue. The resultsindicated the presence in the tissue of high-energy photoreceptor(s).The use of high-intensity, incandescent illumination for experimentalprocedures approximating natural conditions of irradiation wasindicated as desirable for pith callus tissues of Pelargoniumzonale var.

Effects of glucose, anoxia, and adriamycin on the chemiluminescence of Ehrlich Ascites cells

Glucose and anoxia accelerate the photocount due to luminescence of Ehrlich Ascites cells. Adriamycin also has this effect if glucose is present. Comparison with a chemical standard combined with estimates of cellular and population transmittance yield a photon generation rate of at least 10.s⁻¹.cell⁻¹ in the presence of 10⁻² M glucose, and twice this with anoxic conditions or 10⁻⁵ M adriamycin. Effects of adriamycin on Ehrlich Ascites cell respiration may depend on the presence of glucose.
