Dietary phytoestrogens and cancer: in vitro and in vivo studies

Thirty postmenopausal women (11 omnivores, 10 vegetarians and 9 apparently healthy women with surgically removed breast cancer) were investigated with regard to the association of their urinary excretion of estrogens, lignans and isoflavonoids (all diphenols) with plasma sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). A statistically significant positive correlation between urinary total diphenol excretion and plasma SHBG was found which remained statistically significant after elimination of the confounding effect of body mass determined by body mass index (BMI). Furthermore we found a statistically significant negative correlation between plasma SHBG and urinary excretion of 16α-hydroxyestrone and estriol which also remained significant after eliminating the effect of BMI. Furthermore we observed that enterolactone (Enl) stimulates the synthesis of SHBG by HepG2 liver cancer cells in culture acting synergistically with estradiol and at physiological concentrations. Enl was rapidly conjugated by the liver cells, mainly to its monosulfate. Several lignans and the isoflavonoids daidzein and equol were found to compete with estradiol for binding to the rat uterine type II estrogen binding site (the s.c. bioflavonoid receptor). It is suggested that lignans and isoflavonoids may affect uptake and metabolism of sex hormones by participating in the regulation of plasma SHBG levels and in this way influence their biological activity and that they may inhibit cancer cell growth like some flavonoids by competing with estradiol for the type II estrogen binding sites.

Phagocytosis by carp granulocytes; in vivo and in vitro observations

The phagocytic ability of carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) granulocytes was evaluated in vivo and in vitro. In suspensions of head kidney cells, neutrophil granulocytes incorporated both latex beads and coccidian merozoites.

Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella pseudospiralis induce collagen synthesis by host fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo

Immunoperoxidase staining of muscle infected with Trichinella spiralis for murine collagen types I and IV provided both qualitative and quantitative evidence of extensive synthesis of both types of collagen by fibroblasts in infected muscle compared to that seen uninfected muscle. Moreover, fibroblasts in muscle infected with T. pseudospiralis, a nonencapsulating species, showed significantly less staining for both types of collagen compared to muscle from mice infected with T. spiralis. Analysis of collagen composition of isolated nurse cells using an ELISA specific for either type I or type IV murine collagen suggested that of these 2 types of collagen, only type IV basement membrane collagen is found in Trichinella capsular collagen. Excretory/secretory products of T. spiralis and T. pseudospiralis induced extensive synthesis of exclusively type IV collagen by 3T3 murine fibroblasts in vitro.

A mechanism for heterogeneous endothelial responses to flow in vivo and in vitro

Exposure of endothelium to a nominally uniform flow field in vivo and in vitrofrequently results in a heterogeneous distribution of individual cell responses. Extremes in response levels are often noted in neighboring cells. Such variations are important for the spatial interpretation of vascular responses to flow and for an understanding of mechanotransduction mechanisms at the level of single cells. We propose that variations of local forces defined by the cell surface geometry contribute to these differences. Atomic force microscopy measurements of cell surface topography in living endothelium both in vitro and in situ combined with computational fluid dynamics demonstrated large cell-to-cell variations in the distribution of flow-generated shear stresses at the endothelial luminal surface. The distribution of forces throughout the surface of individual cells of the monolayer was also found to vary considerably and to be defined by the surface geometry. We conclude that the endothelial three-dimensional surface geometry defines the detailed distribution of shear stresses and gradients at the single cell level, and that there are large variations in force magnitude and distribution between neighboring cells. The measurements support a topographic basis for differential endothelial responses to flow observed in vivo and in vitro. Included in these studies are the first preliminary measurements of the living endothelial cell surface in an intact artery.     

Suppressive effects of swainsonine on C6 glioma cell in vitro and in vivo

Swainsonine, an extract from Astragalus membranaceus, is known for its anti-cancer effects and could prevent metastases. In order to investigate the effects and mechanisms of swainsonine in C6 glioma cells, we carry out correlated experiments in vitro and in vivo. After treatment with swainsonine, the effective dose and IC₅₀ value of swainsonine in the C6 glioma cell were examined using the MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rates were analyzed using FCM and [Ca²⁺]_i was measured by LSCM. Expressions of p16 and p53 protein were evaluated by immunocytochemical methods. Simultaneously, glioma-bearing rats were administered swainsonine at doses of 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg body wt. The inhibition rate was calculated and pathological sections were observed. The results indicated that the growth of C6 glioma cells is inhibited by swainsonine in vitro, with an IC₅₀ value within 24 h of 0.05 μg/ml. Increases in swainsonine correlate with S phase percentages of 11.3%, 11.6% and 12.4%, respectively. Moreover, the expression of apoptosis inhibiting p53 and p16 protein decreases gradually. Tumor weight in vivo decreased clearly and HE dyeing of tumor tissue showed gray, its texture was soft, with necrosis and hemorrhagic concentrated inward. Swainsonine could inhibit the proliferation of C6 glioma cells in vitro and the growth of C6 glioma in vivo. The mechanisms of swainsonine-induced apoptosis may relate with the expression of apoptosis-related genes and overloading-[Ca²⁺]_i-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress.
