Cryosurgical ablation (CSA) of tumors induces disruptive necrosis. Necrosis may release tumor gangliosides into circulation and they may augment serum antiganglioside antibodies depending on the nature of gangliosides released. The hypothesis is tested by determining the level of serum total gangliosides (STG) and their antibody titers in the sera of colon cancer patients with cryoablated liver tumors. As controls, we examined the sera of patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and regular surgery (RS), none of which cause disruptive necrosis. The STG level (expressed as lipid-bound sialic acids, LBSA) is higher (p(2)<0.001) in 35 patients (stage IV) than in 38 healthy case-controls (median 23.48 mg/dL, Q-range 7.1 vs 16.04 mg/dL, Q-range 4.5). The mean STG level increased significantly to 31.2+/-6.0mg/dL (p(2)<0.03) after CSA. Concomitantly, the IgM titer against colon cancer-associated gangliosides (GM(2), GD(1a), GT(1b)), increased significantly, but no increase was observed against normal tissue gangliosides (GM(3) or GM(1)). Also after RFA and RS, no such increase was observed either in the level of STG or in IgM titer against tumor gangliosides. The results suggest that CSA-induced necrosis might have acted as an adjuvant, because purified gangliosides without exogenous adjuvants even after repeated immunization failed to elicit antibody response. The post-CSA decline in the STG level correlated with the increase in the antibodies, suggesting a homeostatic role of the antibodies. 相似文献

Immune complexes in the serum of tumor-bearing patients were adsorbed from whole blood or plasma on a protein A-Sepharose column. The adsorbed material was eluted, precipitated and analyzed for gangliosides. All precipitates obtained from eight patients at different treatment occasions contained gangliosides at concentrations varying from 0.1 to 12.2 nmol sialic acid/mg protein. The compositions of gangliosides were similar among the patients, regardless of the type of cancer, and quite different from that of normal serum. Most (75-85% of total sialic acid) belonged to the gangliotetraose series, of which 26-33% was GM1, 26-34% GD1a, 8-17% GD1b, and 5-13% GT1b. However, the dominant ganglioside in normal serum, GM3, was present in only trace amounts, which ruled out a nonspecific adsorption of serum ganglioside by protein A-Sepharose. Similar results were obtained for whole blood and plasma treatments, and these results suggest a specific interaction between gangliosides of the gangliotetraose series and serum immunoglobulins, either by the gangliosides acting as antigens and forming immune complexes or by their binding to already formed complexes. 相似文献

An autoimmune hypothesis for the etiology of Meniere's disease has been proposed. In this study, we focused on gangliosides as potential antigens for autoantibodies in Meniere's disease patients. In an attempt to investigate ganglioside antigens which respond to the serum of patients with Meniere's disease, we analyzed gangliosides of human acoustic neurinomas, and used them as antigens to broadly explore gangliosides that react to serum. All the acoustic neurinoma samples used in the present study showed a similar ganglioside profile on TLC (thin-layer chromatography). For the microscale ganglioside analysis, a newly developed TLC blotting/secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) system together with TLC immunostaining method was employed. Most of the ganglioside bands could be analyzed, and they were identified as GM3, GM2, SPG, GM1a, GD3, S-i (sialyl-i ganglioside) and GD1a. GD1a was the predominant ganglioside and many neolactoseries gangliosides were recognized by immunological analysis. Next, the immune reactivity of serum samples, from patients with Meniere's disease, with the acoustic neurinoma gangliosides was studied by TLC immunostaining. The result showed that five of 11 patients with Meniere's disease and one of eight normal subjects reacted with a specific band, which was identified as S-i by the TLC blotting/SIMS system. The findings of the present study indicate that S-i ganglioside is an autoantigen and possibly involved in the pathogenesis of Meniere's disease. 相似文献

The cellular content of total and individual phospholipids and gangliosides was measured in fibroblasts cultured from four normal subjects, three patients with lysosomal lipid storage diseases, and two subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Measurements were made on cells grown in medium containing fetal calf serum under conditions in which normal cells derive cholesterol for cell growth from low density lipoprotein present in the fetal calf serum, whereas familial hypercholesterolemia homozygote cells, which lack cell surface low density lipoprotein receptors, derive cholesterol from endogenous synthesis. No difference was observed in the cellular content of total or individual phospholipids and gangliosides in the normal and familial hypercholesterolemia homozygote cells. In contrast, cells from a patient with Niemann-Pick disease and a patient with Sandhoff disease showed elevations in the content of sphingomyelin and complex gangliosides, respectively. 相似文献

A2B5 antibody was found to strongly label frozen sections of human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. The low amount of glycolipids (c-series gangliosides and sulfatides) purified from the same tumors and reactive with A2B5 by immunostaining on thin-layer plates could not account for the high level of tissue labeling. Proteins were extracted from both normal tissues and squamous cell carcinomas and analyzed by Western blot with A2B5 antibody on PVDF membranes. The antibody was found to stain a set of glycoproteins with two major bands at 55 and 76 kDa present in normal tissues and overexpressed in carcinomas. Staining was abolished by prior treatment of the PVDF membranes either with Arthrobacter ureafaciens neuraminidase or with a solution of 10 mM periodate that is known to destroy carbohydrates. Our results show that the carbohydrate epitope recognized by A2B5 antibody can be displayed by both glycolipids and glycoproteins. 相似文献

A 77-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a thyroid nodule. The levels of serum tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (CA 50, CA 19-9) and thyroglobulin (HTG) were markedly increased. We performed total thyroidectomy and right neck lymph node dissection. After treatment, the serum CA 50, CA 19-9 and HTG levels were markedly decreased. Histological examination of the thyroid tumor showed papillary adenocarcinoma and the dissected neck lymph nodes contained metastatic adenocarcinoma. The expression of CA 50 and CA 19-9 (defined by the monoclonal antibodies) was studied by immunoperoxidase staining from the normal and carcinomatous thyroid tissues and the dissected neck lymph node. CA 50 was expressed more strongly by the carcinoma cells than CA 19-9. The positive rates for serum CA 50 and CA 19-9 levels in other patients with papillary adenocarcinoma were not significantly higher compared with patients with benign nodules and normal subjects. But a significant positive correlation was found between the diameter of the carcinoma and the serum levels of CA 50 and CA 19-9. These results suggest that the serum levels of CA 50 and CA 19-9 might not become useful markers for diagnosing carcinoma of the thyroid, but might be useful markers for monitoring the growth or recurrence of papillary adenocarcinoma of the thyroid in patients with high serum levels of CA 50 and CA 19-9. 相似文献

In order to determine possible differences in serum gangliosides content and composition before and after surgical removal of tumor, gangliosides isolated from preoperative and postoperative sera of patients with brain tumors were analyzed. Serum samples were collected from patients with glioblastoma, meningioma, acoustic neurinoma, haemangioma, oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma, one week before and one week after surgical removal of the tumor. Serum gangliosides were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography and laser densitometry. Results showed changes of total gangliosides concentrations in analyzed postoperative sera comparing to preoperative sera. There was not a significant difference in ganglioside pattern of preoperative vs. preoperative sera. However, a postoperative decreased proportion of ganglioside GD3 was observed in sera derived from patients with complete tumor removal. The results of this study indicate that comparative quantitative and compositional analysis of both preoperative and postoperative serum gangliosides may provide useful information concerning tumor progression, surgical success and prognosis. 相似文献

The levels of metalloproteinases (MMP-2,-9), their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1,-2) and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) were studied in tumor tissue and blood serum from patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical investigation showed much higher expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in tumor tissue compared with MMP-2 and TIMP-2. There was different distribution of the investigated parameters (except TIMP-1) in cancer cells and stroma. Accumulation of MMP-2, MMP-9, and TIMP-2 was found mainly in cell elements (fibrocytes, leukocytes, etc.) and in stromal extracellular space. Expression of EMMPRIN was significantly higher in tumor cells than in stromal cells. It is possible that carcinoma cells express EMMPRIN, which may increase MMP production by surrounding cells. There was significant decrease of TIMP-1 expression in carcinoma cells with N1 grade of metastasis than in tumors without metastasis. The level of TIMP-1 in blood serum from patients with tumor metastases to regional lymph nodes was lower than in serum from patients without metastases. Thus, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 play an important role in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and the TIMP-1 level in blood serum and cancer tissues is linked to the first grade of regional lymph node metastasis. 相似文献

De novo synthesis and excretion into perfusate and bile fluid of hepatic gangliosides were studied in isolated perfused rat livers. Addition of N-acetyl-[6-3H(n)]D-mannosamine to the perfusate resulted in radioactive synthesis of at least eight gangliosides labeled in their sialic acid residues. About 10% of total de novo synthesized gangliosides were excreted into the perfusate, less than 1% into the bile fluid. Labeled gangliosides were tentatively identified by cochromatography with known standards. All of them are known to occur in rat liver and sera. The results indicate that most, if not all, normal serum gangliosides are synthesized in the liver; excretion with bile fluid is negligible. They explain previous observations, and indicate clinical implications, which are discussed. 相似文献

Objective
To evaluate the changes of serum albumin levels during the peri-operative period, and correlate these changes to surgical outcomes, postoperative morbidity and mortality in head and neck cancer patients with cirrhosis.Methods
57 patients with liver cirrhosis out of 3,022 patients who underwent immediate free flap reconstruction after surgical ablation of head and neck cancer performed over a 9-year period were included in the study. Two sets of groups were arranged based on the preoperative albumin (>3.5 g/dL vs. ≤ 3.5 g/dL) and POD1 albumin (>2.7 g/dL vs. ≤ 2.7 g/dL) levels and were compared with respect to patient-related variables, surgical outcomes, medical and surgical complications, and mortalities.Results
All patients had significant decreases in albumin levels postoperatively. Hypoalbuminemia, both preoperative and postoperative, was associated with the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, the amount of blood loss, the duration of ICU stay and hospital stay, and postoperative medical and surgical complications. In particular, preoperative hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin ≤ 3.5 g/dL) was associated strongly with medical complications and mortality, while postoperative hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin ≤ 2.7 g/dL) with surgical complications.Conclusion
Our study demonstrated the prognostic values of albumin levels in head and neck cancer patient with liver cirrhosis. The perioperative albumin levels can be utilized for risk stratification to potentially improve surgical and postoperative management of these challenging patients. 相似文献13.

Serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg) and protein-bound sialic acid (PBSA) were measured in 43 head and neck cancer patients and 50 controls. SCCAg and PBSA were correlated with clinical stage, histological grade, presence/absence of keratin and disease course. Patients with advanced cancer (stage III and IV) and grade III tumors had higher PBSA levels but no such difference was observed for SCCAg. Head and neck cancer patients were grouped according to the disease status i.e. a) patients who developed recurrence and b) who responded to the adjuvant therapies. There was an excellent correlation between serial serum PBSA changes and the progression of disease or the response to therapy in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. 相似文献

Gangliosides of sea urchin embryos. Their localization and participation in early development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The influence of antibodies to gangliosides of sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius eggs on early embryos of this species was studied. gamma-Globulins were isolated from rabbit anti-ganglioside serum by micropreparative electrophoresis. These gamma-globulins produced anomalies in the development of embryos permeabilized in Triton X-100. The anomalies were not observed when anti-ganglioside gamma-globulins were added to the incubation medium together with gangliosides or when the permeabilized embryos were incubated with gamma-globulins of normal rabbit serum. Pretreatment of S. intermedius embryos with serotonin, tryptamine or some other indole derivatives led to the disappearance of ganglioside determinants from the cell surface and sharply increased immunofluorescence within the cell. Such pretreatment of embryos increased the amount of cell-associated gangliosides more than threefold as compared to untreated embryos. Serotonin was shown to bind specifically to sea urchin gangliosides immobilized on octyl-Sepharose. These observations suggest that cell-surface gangliosides, after binding drugs, are internalized and that serotonin and its antagonists inhibit the transport of newly synthesized gangliosides to the cell-surface membrane. 相似文献

We examine here the delivery of gangliosides from the perfused rat liver into the perfusate. One hour after the administration of [3H]GM1 to recirculating perfused livers, almost 80% of the perfusate radioactive gangliosides were recovered associated to the HDL fraction. This fraction was relatively enriched in radioactive GD1a. The pattern of endogenous gangliosides from perfused livers, rat serum and perfusates were very different: GM3 was the main liver ganglioside, GM1 and GD1a were the most abundant in perfusates being GM3 almost absent; GM3, GM1 and GD1a were present in rat serum in similar proportions. Using a non-recirculating perfusion protocol, radioactive gangliosides were found in the HDL fraction since 15 minutes after the administration of [3H]GM1. These results suggest that rat liver supplies the perfusates with some gangliosides and that they are associated to HDL. These facts arise the possibility that the liver is one of the source of serum gangliosides. 相似文献

Human neural cells in exponential growth phase were transferred to a serum-free medium and maintained for 72 hr without any detectable loss in viability. The two normal fetal cell lines (CHI and CHII) showed a serum-dependent cell proliferation, but the glioblastoma multiforme cells (12–18) were able to continue proliferating in this totally synthetic medium. The incorporation of [3H] thymidine into the acid-precipitable fraction of both normal and neoplastic human neural cells was assayed in the presence and the absence of exogenous gangliosides by a convenient new method. In serum-free medium, gangliosides (50 μM) inhibited the thymidine incorporation into the normal fetal cells within 24 hr and, in serum containing medium, reduced their proliferation within 48 hr. No such effects were detectable in the glioma cells. The inhibition of thymidine incorporation in the normal cells was reversible upon removal of the gangliosides. These results indicate a role of gangliosides in the postmitotic phase of normal human neural cells resulting in the regulation of cell proliferation. 相似文献

Human fibroblasts, cultured in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, responded dramatically to choleragen with an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate content to greater than 48 times basal levels. Analysis of these cells for gangliosides indicated that the major ganglioside was N-acetylneuraminylgalactosylglucosylceramide (GM3) with trace amounts (less than or equal to 100 pmol/mg of protein) of other gangliosides including GM1, the putative choleragen receptor. Although the cells contained three glycosyltransferases required for ganglioside synthesis, the N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity necessary for the conversion of GM3 to more complex gangliosides was not detected. When the cells were grown in medium containing [14C]galactose or N-acety[3H]mannosamine, however, all of the gangliosides became labeled, indicating that the cells can synthesize complex gangliosides. Although fetal calf serum contains gangliosides including GM1, [3H]GM1 was taken up poorly from the growth medium and uptake at the rate observed could have accounted for less than 2% of the GM1 content of the cells. When the cells were incubated in chemically defined medium containing [3H]GM1 at the concentrations present in fetal calf serum, rapid uptake of the ganglioside occurred and the total GM1 content of the cells increased threefold in less than 3 h. Thus, although the cells are capable of binding exogenous gangliosides, the gangliosides in fetal calf serum are in a form not readily available to the cells. 相似文献

The sensitivity and specificity of two influenza C virus assays, solid-phase and overlay assays, were investigated using naturally occurring 9-O-acetylated GD(3), rat serum glycoproteins containing 60% of N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid, and synthetically O-acetylated sialylated compounds. The sensitivity of the solid-phase assay was higher for glycoproteins containing N-acetyl-9-O-acetylneuraminic acid than for gangliosides, and also differed for various 9-O-acetylated gangliosides. The overlay assay was less sensitive for all glycoconjugates tested. For virus recognition the presentation of the sialic acid within the molecule and the structure of the sialic acid are essential. Investigation of gangliosides from human melanomas and normal skin with the influenza C virus assay showed an increase of O-acetylation of sialic acids in most tumour samples and the occurrence of several O-acetylated gangliosides. 相似文献

A novel carbohydrate, differentiation antigen on fucogangliosides of human myeloid cells recognized by monoclonal antibody VIM-2 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

A mouse monoclonal antibody, VIM-2, specific for human blood cells of myelomonocytic lineage, was found to bind to a series of minor gangliosides isolated from the cells of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (Uemura, K., Macher, B.A., DeGregorio, M., Scudder, P., Buehler, J., Knapp, W., and Feizi, T. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 846, 26-36). TLC immunostaining studies with the VIM-2 antibody of gangliosides from normal human neutrophils, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia cells showed that the total amount and the ratio of the VIM-2 gangliosides varies among these different myeloid cells and appears to be related to the level of cellular differentiation. Purification of these gangliosides from chronic myelogenous leukemia cells was aided by a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure used in conjunction with high performance liquid chromatography. Structures for two of the immunoreactive gangliosides (a ceramide decasaccharide, VIII3NeuAcV3-Fuc-nLc8Cer and a ceramide dodecasaccharide X3-NeuAcVII3Fuc-nLc10Cer) are proposed from negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of the native gangliosides, methylation analysis, and the combined use of glycosidase treatment and TLC immunostaining with carbohydrate sequence specific antibodies. The VIM-2 antigen was thus characterized as involving the sialofucooligosaccharide sequence. 相似文献

Use of tumor markers in the management of head and neck cancer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Serologic tumor markers have been evaluated in the diagnosis, management and follow-up of patients with head and neck cancer. However, to the authors' knowledge no tumor marker has yet been shown to be useful for monitoring the response to chemotherapy in this type of disease, in particular for undifferentiated tumors. The pretreatment levels of CEA, TPA, SCC and ferritin were evaluated in 98 patients with advanced head and neck cancer. Of this group 64 patients were studied sequentially every month during planned chemotherapy and three weeks after treatment using standard commercial kits. The results showed the following sensitivity values: TPA 50%, CEA 36%, SCC 34% and ferritin 19%. The incidence and magnitude of the marker elevations were correlated with the extent of disease. In patients with squamous cell cancer SCC and CEA were elevated (by 68% and 54%, respectively) in tumors with good differentiation (G1), but only by 13% (both markers) in tumors classified as poorly differentiated (G3). CEA, SCC and ferritin serum levels were not correlated with response to chemotherapy, while TPA values correlated with the clinical response to treatment in 100% of patients with undifferentiated cancer and in 75% of those with squamous cell cancer. Our data indicate that in patients with head and neck cancer TPA appears to be a sensitive marker, followed in decreasing order of sensitivity by CEA, SCC and ferritin. However, SCC and CEA seem to be the most suitable markers for squamous cell cancer and in particular for more differentiated tumors (G1). Finally, TPA has proved to be a useful marker for monitoring the response to chemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer, in particular for undifferentiated tumors. 相似文献
