Summary Blocks of breast tissue obtained during radical mastectomies from 23 patients with mammary gland carcinomas were used for
cultivation in native-state, gel-supported histocultures. We show that the human mammary gland can be successfully maintained
in this system so that normal epithelial breast structures proliferate and undergo differentiation for several weeks and a
well-developed system of ducts and lobules is formed. Using antibodies to individual keratins 17 and 8 we have shown for the
first time that ducts and alveoles developing in vitro undergo differentiation into the lining epithelium and myoepithelium
in the same way as mammary gland epithelium in vivo. Growth of epithelial structures in vitro is also accompanied by the development
of continuous basal membrane. 相似文献

Positive selection is a general phenomenon in the evolution of abalone sperm lysin 总被引:36,自引:21,他引:15
Lysin is a 16kDa acrosomal protein used by abalone sperm to create a hole
in the egg vitelline envelope (VE). The interaction of lysin with the VE is
species-selective and is one step in the multistep fertilization process
that restricts heterospecific (cross-species) fertilization. For this
reason, the evolution of lysin could play a role in establishing prezygotic
reproductive isolation between species. Previously, we sequenced sperm
lysin cDNAs from seven California abalone species and showed that positive
Darwinian selection promotes their divergence. In this paper an additional
13 lysin sequences are presented representing species from Japan, Taiwan,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Europe. The total of 20 sequences
represents the most extensive analysis of a fertilization protein to date.
The phylogenetic analysis divides the sequences into two major clades, one
composed of species from the northern Pacific (California and Japan) and
the other composed of species from other parts of the world. Analysis of
nucleotide substitution demonstrates that positive selection is a general
process in the evolution of this fertilization protein. Analysis of
nucleotide and codon usage bias shows that neither parameter can account
for the robust data supporting positive selection. The selection pressure
responsible for the positive selection on lysin remains unknown.

The swimming behaviour of the green flagellated protist Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is influenced by several different external stimuli including light and chemical attractants. Common components are involved in both the photo- and chemo-sensory transduction pathways, although the nature and organisation of these pathways are poorly understood. To learn more about the mechanism of chemotaxis in Chlamydomonas, we have generated nonchemotactic strains by insertional mutagenesis. The arginine-requiring strain arg7-8 was transformed with DNA carrying the wild-type ARG7 gene. Of the 8630 arginine-independenttransformants obtained, five are defective in their chemotaxis towards various sugars. Two of the mutants (CTX2 and CTX3) are blocked only in their response to xylose. Mutant CTX1 is blocked in its response to xylose, maltose and mannitol, but displays normal taxis to sucrose. Mutants CTX4 and CTX5 lack chemotactic responses to all sugars tested. CTX1, CTX4 and CTX5 represent novel chemotactic phenotypes not previously obtained using ultra-violet or chemical mutagenesis. Genetic analysis confirms that each mutation maps to a single nuclear locus that is unlinked to the mating-type locus. Further analysis of CTX4 indicates that the mutant allele is tagged by the transforming ARG7 DNA. CTX4 appears to be defective in a component specific for chemotactic signal transduction since it exhibits wild-type photobehavioural responses (phototaxis and photoshock) as well as the wild-type responses of EGTA-induced trans-flagellum inactivation and acid-induced deflagellation. Insertional mutagenesis has thus permitted the generation of novel chemotactic mutants that will be of value in the molecular dissection of the signalling machinery. 相似文献

Allelic deletions along the short arm of human chromosome 3 were mapped in 57 pairs of DNA samples from tumor and normal tissue of renal carcinoma patients in order to locate potential tumor suppressor genes. Twenty highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were used for deletion mapping. Allelic deletions were found in most of the samples (91%). Extended terminal deletions (56%) prevailed over shorter internal and multiple deletions and dominated (65%) in the most aggressive histopathological kidney cancer subtype, clear-cell carcinoma. Frequency analysis of loss of heterozygosity allowed detection of the human chromosome 3 regions most essential for renal carcinomas: the region adjacent to the gene VHL (3p26-p25), the region of homozygous deletions AP20 (3p22-p21.33), and a new region between markers D3S2420 and D3S2409 (3p21.31, 2.2 Mbp). 相似文献

Allelic imbalances (AI) of polymorphic markers at the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) were mapped using DNA samples of renal cell carcinoma (RCC, 80 cases), breast carcinoma (BC, 95 cases), and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC, 50 cases) at the same dense panel of markers (up to 24 loci). Six regions with the increased AI frequency (versus the average values determined for all the analyzed 3p markers) at RCC, BC or EOC were found in 3p chromosome. Four 3p regions presumably contain suppressor genes of tumor growth (TSG) observed in the epithelial tumors of various types. Region between D3S2409 and D3S3667 markers in the 3q21.31 region was identified in this study for the first time. The AI peak in D3S2409-D3S3667 region was statistically significant (P < 0.001, according to Fisher) when representative sample of 95 BC patients was analyzed. The data on increased frequency of polymorphic marker allele amplification suggest that the D3S2409-D3S3667 region contains both putative TSG and protooncogenes. 相似文献

The short arm of chromosome 3 (3p) contains several critical regions that have increased frequencies of allelic deletions and harbor a set of tumor suppressor genes. In particular, the range of functions performed by RASSF1A (LUCA region, 3p21.31) includes those potentially associated with carcinogenesis. Among 3p genes, RASSF1A has the highest methylation frequency in epithelial tumors of various locations. For the first time, two different methods (methylation-specific PCR and methylation-sensitive restriction analysis) independently showed that the methylation level of the CpG island in the RASSF1A promoter region significantly correlated with grade and clinical stage of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). An analysis of 23 3p polymorphic markers in a representative set of 80 RCC cases characterized clinically and histologically revealed that RCC progression significantly correlated with the frequency of allelic imbalances in some critical regions of 3p (LUCA and AP20), but not in 3p as a whole. These data suggest that RCC progression is associated with the methylation of the RASSF1A promoter and, possibly, with structural and functional alterations in other 3p genes. In addition, significant correlation between RASSF1A methylation and allelic losses at the nearby polymorphic marker locus suggests the “two hit” model for the inactivation of this tumor suppressor gene in RCC. 相似文献

Earlier, methylation of a CpG island in the SEMA3B gene (3p21.31) was observed in cell lines of small-cell and non-small-cell lung carcinoma. According to NCBI (Build 36),
that island belonged to intron 1 of the gene. Our study concerns the methylation of two CpG islands, promoter and intronic,
in the SEMA3B gene in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methylation-specific PCR and bisulfite sequencing revealed a
high frequency of methylation in the promoter CpG island (34/61, 56%) and somewhat lower, in the intronic (17/48, 35%). A
significant inverse correlation was found between the SEMA3B mRNA level and methylation of the promoter CpG island in RCC (P < 0.05 according to Fisher’s exact test). The intronic island showed no such correlation. Thus, we suggest that the methylation
of the promoter CpG island contributes to the inactivation of the SEMA3B suppressor gene in RCC tissue. 相似文献
