Expression of messenger RNAs for insulin-like growth factors and their receptors in bovine fetuses at early gestation from embryos produced in vivo or in vitro

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of in vitro embryo production on physical development and levels of expression of mRNAs for insulin-like growth factor (IGF) ligands (IGF1, IGF2), their receptors (IGF1R, IGF2R), and IGF binding protein-2 (IGFBP2) in bovine fetuses during early gestation. In vivo embryos were recovered from superovulated Holstein cows. For production of embryos in vitro, Holstein oocytes were matured, fertilized, and subsequently cultured in M199 with 10% serum to 168 hpi. On Day 70 of gestation, fetuses (in vivo, n = 14; in vitro, n = 13) were recovered, serum samples collected, and physical measurements recorded. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays were used to determine the levels of expression of mRNAs for IGF1, IGF2, IGF1R, and IGF2R in fetal liver and skeletal muscle. Western blots were used to assess levels of IGFBP2 in fetal serum. Fetal body weight did not differ with treatment; however, production of embryos in vitro was associated with decreased crown-nose length and a tendency for increased paired kidney weight, which became significant when expressed on a per bodyweight basis. There was no effect of treatment on levels of IGFBP2 in fetal serum. Levels of IGF1 mRNA in fetal liver were decreased (P < 0.001) in the in vitro group. Levels of IGF2R mRNA in both liver and skeletal muscle were also decreased (P < 0.01) in fetuses from the in vitro group. In summary, fetuses at Day 70 of gestation from embryos produced in vitro had shortened crown-nose length and increased kidney weight on a per bodyweight basis, as well as decreased expression of mRNAs for IGF1 in liver and IGF2R in both liver and skeletal muscle, compared with fetuses from embryos produced in vivo. In conclusion, in vitro embryo culture was associated with subtle changes in fetal development as well as altered expression of both imprinted and non-imprinted genes.

In vitro and in vivo growth and casein gene expression of mouse mammary tumor epithelial cells in response to hormones

Cells from autochthonous mouse mammary carcinomas which display estrogen-independent growth _vivo were studied for their hormonal responses in primary culture. A culture system employing insulin-supplemented, serum-free medium and basement membrane Matrigel as a substratum was used to cultivate tumor cells. The cells did not exhibit in vitro estrogenor prolactin-dependent growth. Primary tumors still displayed a constitutional expression of α-, β-, and γ-casein mRNAs. These messages were dramatically reduced during the culture period. However, seven to eightfold increases in α- and β-casein mRNAs were inducible in the 5-day cultures by treatment with prolactin and hydrocortisone. If the hormones were present through a 2-week culture period, the levels of α-, β-, and γ-casein mRNAs in the cells were maintained and displayed in a time-dependent increase with a peak at 10–14 days. The accumulation of β-casein mRNA in vitro did not require DNA synthesis. Administration of prolactin directly into the growing tumors in vivo could also enhance β-casein mRNA levels in the tumor cells. Morphological studies of the cells cultured in the presence of prolactin and hydrocortisone did not reveal visible changes compared with those without hormonal treatment. Transplantation of tumor cells cultured in the presence or absence of hormones resulted in the development of tumors in mice at approximately the same time. The current studies suggest that the autochthonous mammary tumor cells, independent of estrogen for cell growth, were still inducible for casein gene expression in vitro and in vivo by appropriate hormones. The induction and maintenance of casein messages by a single hormonal treatment did not appear to correlate with morphology and DNA synthesis of cells in vitro or with tumor-producing capacities in vivo.     

Activity identification of chimeric anti-caspase-3 mRNA hammerhead ribozyme in vitro and in vivo

To study the expression activity of various vectors containing anti-caspase-3 ribozyme cassettesin vivo, and to further study the role of caspas-3 in the apoptotic pathway, we constructed anti-caspase-3 hammerhead ribozyme embedded into the human snRNA U6, and detected the activity of the ribozymein vitro andin vivo. Meanwhile we compared it with the self-cleaving hammerhead ribozymes that we previously studied, and with the general ribozyme, cloned into RNA polymerase II expression systems. The results showed that the three ribozymes, p1.5RZ107, pRZ107 and pU6RZ107 had the correct structure, and that they could cleave caspase-3 mRNA exactly to produce two fragments: 143nt/553nt. p1.5RZ107 has the highest cleavage efficiencyin vitro, almost 80%. However, the U6 chimeric ribozyme, pU6RZ107, has the highest cleavage activityin vivo, almost to 65%, though it has lower cleavage activityin vitro. The cleavage results demonstrated that the pU6RZ107, the U6 chimeric ribozyme, could more efficiently express and downregulate the level of caspase-3in vivo, and the ribozyme could provide an alternative approach to the research into the mechanism of apoptosis and human gene therapy also.     

In vivo andin vitro antitumor activity of mitomycin C conjugates at 7-N position through a linker containing thiocarbamate bond with CD10 monoclonal antibody

Through a linker containing thiocarbomate bound to the 7-N position of mitomycin C (MMC), conjugates with a monoclonal antibody to CD10 (NL-1) were prepared, and their antitumor activities were examined. All five conjugates, except one, showedin vitro cytotoxity to two CD10⁺ lymphoid cell lines superior to MMC. The conjugate displaying the highest cytotoxicity was selected and further tested against three CD10⁺ and two CD10 lymphoid cell linesin vitro. The conjugate with NL-1 antibody demonstrated higher cytotoxic activity against CD10+ tumor cells than the control conjugate with normal immunoglobulin, while there was no significant difference, when tested against CD10^– tumors. The cytotoxic activity of the NL-1 conjugate to CD10+ tumors was significantly blocked by NL-1 antibody. In vivo antitumor activity of the NL-1 conjugate was then tested against a CD10⁺ tumor transplanted to nude mice, and side effects were recorded. The NL-1 conjugate (4 mg/kg) showed anin vivo antitumor effect similar to MMC (2 mg/kg), which is at nearly maximal tolerable dose; the latter induced decreases in numbers of leukocytes and platelets, while the former did not, suggesting less side effect by the NL-1 conjugate. Since MMC demonstrates a broad spectrum of antitumor activity, the conjugate, as such, may be applicable for the treatment of cancer patients.     

Antitumor Effect of the Essential Oil from Leaves of Guatteria pogonopus (Annonaceae)

Guatteria pogonopus Martius , a plant belonging to the Annonaceae family, is found in the remaining Brazilian Atlantic Forest. In this study, the chemical composition and antitumor effects of the essential oil isolated from leaves of G. pogonopus was investigated. The chemical composition of the oil was determined by GC‐FID and GC/MS analyses. The in vitro cytotoxicity was evaluated against three different tumor cell lines (OVCAR‐8, NCI‐H358M, and PC‐3M), and the in vivo antitumor activity was tested in mice bearing sarcoma 180 tumor. A total of 29 compounds was identified and quantified in the oil. The major compounds were γ‐patchoulene (13.55%), (E)‐caryophyllene (11.36%), β‐pinene (10.37%), germacrene D (6.72%), bicyclogermacrene (5.97%), α‐pinene (5.33%), and germacrene B (4.69%). The essential oil, but neither (E)‐caryophyllene nor β‐pinene, displayed in vitro cytotoxicity against all three tumor cell lines tested. The obtained average IC₅₀ values ranged from 3.8 to 20.8 μg/ml. The lowest and highest values were obtained against the NCI‐H358M and the OVCAR‐8 cell lines, respectively. The in vivo tumor‐growth‐inhibition rates in the tumor‐bearing mice treated with essential oil (50 and 100 mg/kg/d) were 25.3 and 42.6%, respectively. Hence, the essential oil showed significant in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity.     

Picropodophyllin inhibits tumor growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a mouse model

Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is a cell membrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity and plays important roles in cell transformation, tumor growth, tumor invasion, and metastasis. Picropodophyllin (PPP) is a selective IGF-1R inhibitor and shows promising antitumor effects for several human cancers. However, its antitumor effects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the antitumor activity of PPP in NPC using in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal model. We found that PPP dose-dependently decreased the IGF-induced phosphorylation and activity of IGF-1R and consequently reduced the phosphorylation of Akt, one downstream target of IGF-1R. In addition, PPP inhibited NPC cell proliferation in vitro. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PPP for NPC cell line CNE-2 was ?1 μM at 24 h after treatment and ?0.5 μM at 48 h after treatment, respectively. Moreover, administration of PPP by intraperitoneal injection significantly suppressed the tumor growth of xenografted NPC in nude mice. Taken together, these results suggest targeting IGF-1R by PPP may represent a new strategy for treatment of NPCs with positive IGF-1R expression.     

Antitumor effects of snake venom chemically modified Lys49 phospholipase A2-like BthTX-I and a synthetic peptide derived from its C-terminal region

The present work evaluates both in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of BPB-modified BthTX-I and its cationic synthetic peptide derived from the 115–129 C-terminal region. BPB-BthTX-I presented cytotoxicity of 10–40% on different tumor cell lines, which were also susceptible to the lytic action of the synthetic peptide. Injection of the modified protein or the peptide in mice, 5 days after transplantation of S180 tumor cells, reduced 30 and 36% of the tumor size on day 14th and 76 and 79% on day 60th, respectively, when compared to the untreated control group. Thus, these antitumor properties might be of interest in the development of therapeutic strategies against cancer.
