Abstract. Limiting dilution culture of cell fractions obtained by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation was used to establish six different cell clones from HOC-7 ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (D1-D3, N1-N3). Clones D1-D3 revealed a phenotype similar to that seen in parental cells exposed to differentiation inducers such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 0.8% [v/v]). They were flattened, slowly growing cells (doubling times: 42–46 h). The cells developed long cytoplasmic extensions and adopted a complicated growth pattern. Fixed-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting demonstrated that these cells contained high levels of epidermal growth factor-receptor (EGF-R), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125), fibronectin and desmoplakin, but low levels of myc oncoproteins. However, untreated parental cells and clones N1–N3 were fastgrowing (doubling times: 23–28 h), regularly shaped, polygonal cells ("cobblestone'monolayer) with low levels of EGF-R, CA 125, fibronectin and desmoplakin, but relatively higher amounts of myc oncoproteins. The similarity of the sublines to either untreated or inducertreated parental cells indicated that clones D1–D3 represented spontaneously differentiated HOC-7 cells, whereas clones N1–N3 originated from less-differentiated cells. The features examined in this model cell system proved to be closely related to ovarian cancer cell proliferation and differentiation. The observation of a tumorinherent propensity for spontaneous differentiation suggests that exogenous stimulation of existing differentiation pathways may represent an alternative approach for tackling the problem of growth control and differentiation in malignant tissues. 相似文献

C-erbB and retinoid receptor signaling control mammary epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and morphology. Here, we examined the morphogenetic activities of c-erbB specific ligands such as heregulin and of retinoids on non-malignant (primary, MTSV1-7) and malignant (T47D, SKBR-3) human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) cultivated in 3D collagen type I gels. These cells are positive for both c-erbB and retinoid receptors. Non-malignant primary HMEC spontaneously formed branched structures in collagen, whereas SV40 large T antigen-immortalized non-tumorigenic MTSV1-7 spontaneously formed balls and required heregulin or retinoid X receptor alpha-selective retinoid Ro 25-7386 for branching, which was further stimulated by combination of both types of agents. In malignant cells, heregulin alone induced ball formation and cooperated either with Ro 25-7386 (T47D) or with retinoic acid receptor alpha-selective AM580 (SKBR-3) for branching morphogenesis, which was accompanied by changes in the subcellular distribution of alpha(2)beta(1)-integrin and E-cadherin, and by down-regulation of c-erbB-2, -3, or -4. Heregulin and/or retinoids correspondingly increased the integrin-dependent adhesion of malignant cells to type I collagen. Our data demonstrate cooperative signaling of c-erbB and retinoid receptor pathways at the levels of morphogenesis and immunophenotypic differentiation. 相似文献

Tumor-associated antigens resulting from aberrant glycosylation, such as the SialylTn carbohydrate antigen, are frequently
over-expressed on cancer cells and provide potential targets for cancer vaccination. Immunization of Rhesus monkeys with SialylTn
coupled to a highly immunogenic carrier molecule and formulated on aluminum hydroxide induced a strong immune response against
the carrier protein but only a moderate IgM immune response against the SialylTn carbohydrate antigen. Co-formulation with
QS-21 adjuvant dramatically enhanced the anti-SialylTn immune response and resulted in a SialylTn-specific IgG switch. The
kinetics of the carbohydrate-specific IgG response correlated with a temporary release of cytokines such as IFNγ, IL-2, IL-1β,
TNFα and GM-CSF which was measurable in the immune serum by xMAP Multiplex technology. Furthermore, tumor cell killing by
activated natural killer cells was induced. These data demonstrate that immunization with a tumor-associated carbohydrate
antigen in a highly immunogenic formulation results in a temporary release of type 1 cytokines which may be required for the
induction of a specific IgG immune response against the carbohydrate antigen as well as for activation of effector cells against
tumor cells. 相似文献

Bone tissue has an exceptional quality to regenerate to native tissue in response to injury. However, the fracture repair process requires mechanical stability or a viable biological microenvironment or both to ensure successful healing to native tissue. An improved understanding of the molecular and cellular events that occur during bone repair and remodeling has led to the development of biologic agents that can augment the biological microenvironment and enhance bone repair. Orthobiologics, including stem cells, osteoinductive growth factors, osteoconductive matrices, and anabolic agents, are available clinically for accelerating fracture repair and treatment of compromised bone repair situations like delayed unions and nonunions. Preclinical and clinical studies using biologic agents like recombinant bone morphogenetic proteins have demonstrated an efficacy similar or better than that of autologous bone graft in acute fracture healing. A lack of standardized outcome measures for comparison of biologic agents in clinical fracture repair trials, frequent off-label use, and a limited understanding of the biological activity of these agents at the bone repair site have limited their efficacy in clinical applications. 相似文献

Expression of c-erbB-4/HER4 is regulated in T47D breast carcinoma cells by retinoids and vitamin D3.

Nuclear steroid/retinoid and memgbrane c-erbB receptor tyrosine kinase signaling control proliferation and differentiation of mammary epithelial cells. Recently, we reported that retinoic acids are efficient repressors of c-erbB-2 and -3, but not of c-erbB-1 gene expresson. Here we demonstrate that retinoid acid- mediated growth inhibition is accompanied with reduced expression of c-erbB-4/HER4 in T47D breast cancer cells as determined by FACS, Western, and RT-PCR. All-trans and 9-cis retinoic acid reduce c-erbB-4 expression to 30%-60% of control, depending on the concentration. Dexamethasone (Dex) is inactive on D3 (D3), in contrast, acts as a strong inducer, elevation more that twofold at the mRNA, but does not significantly affect cell growth. We concolude that retinoic acids are efficient growth inhibitors and repressors of cell growth and c-erbB-4, whereas D3 represents a highly efficient inducer of c-erbB-4 expression with affecting cell proliferation. 相似文献
