Nude mice were inoculated with BMA1 cells. These are cells which produce granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF); They are derived from mouse bone marrow stromal cells transfected with adenovirus 5 DNA. Progressive neutrophilia developed as the tumor grew, but disappeared quickly after local tumor excision. Media conditioned with tumor cells had GM-CSF but neither erythropoietin nor burst-promoting activity. In all the tumors which developed, focal areas of bone formation were found among fibrosarcomatous tissues. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DC) are specialized antigen-presenting cells. Bone marrow monocytes have been widely used to generate murine
myeloid DC. We found that mouse macrophages derived from bone marrow CD11b+ monocytes influenced the differentiation of these precursors into DC. Modulation of differentiation was demonstrated by the
down-regulation of CD11c, CD40, and CD86 expression and by IL-12 production. DC differentiated in the presence of conditioned
medium from bone marrow-derived macrophage culture (MCM) had impaired ability to stimulate proliferation of, and IFN- γ production
by, allogeneic CD4+ T cells. This inhibition of DC differentiation was mainly mediated by secretory products from macrophages but not by cell-cell
contact. MCM contained higher concentrations of macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), IL-10, and TGF- β1, whereas
IL-6 remained unchanged compared with conditioned medium from fresh monocytes. M-CSF may be the major mediator in MCM inhibiting
DC differentiation. This study demonstrates an important influence of bone marrow-derived macrophages on DC precursors during
DC differentiation.

Genes involved in breast cancer metastasis to bone 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Metastasis to bone occurs frequently in advanced breast cancer and is accompanied by debilitating skeletal complications.
Current treatments are palliative and new therapies that specifically prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone are urgently
required. While our understanding of interactions between breast cancer cells and bone cells has greatly improved, we still
know little about the molecular determinants that regulate specific homing of breast cancer cells to the bone. In this review,
we focus on genes that have been implicated in migration and adhesion of breast cancer cells to bone, as well as genes that
promote tumor cell proliferation in the bone microenvironment. In addition, the review discusses new technologies, including
better animal models, that will further assist with the identification of the molecular determinants of bone metastasis and
will guide the development of new therapies.

Bone marrow stroma produces positive and negative growth regulators which constitute the hematopoietic microenvironment. As many tumors metastasize to the bones, these regulators may also influence tumor growth. Hematopoietic cytokines may indeed exert both positive and negative effect on tumor growth. We report that, when mixed with tumor cells. adherent bone marrow cells inhibit primary tumor growth and metastases formation in mice transplanted with Lewis lung carcinoma or B16 melanoma. Peritoneal macrophages or lymph node cells did not exert any influence. The tumor inhibition was apparently due to soluble factor(s) released by marrow stromal cells. In cocultures with B16 melanoma cells, adherent bone marrow cells exerted a significant antiproliferative effect which was increased by previous culture of the bone marrow cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor but not with macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Neither neutralizing antibodies against tumor necrosis factor-alpha, transforming growth factor-beta or interferon alpha/beta nor addition of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide to generate inflammatory cytokines could affect the antiproliferative effect of bone marrow stromal cells. The bone marrow stroma factor(s) which inhibit tumor growth might, therefore, be a novel growth regulator. 相似文献

1997 saw the identification of a novel set of proteins within the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)/TNF receptor families that are
required for the control of bone remodeling. Therefore, these receptors, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK),
osteoprotegerin (OPG) and their ligand RANK ligand (RANKL) became the critical molecular triad controlling osteoclastogenesis
and pathophysiologic bone remodeling. However, the establishment of the corresponding knock-out and transgenic mice revealed
unexpected results, most particularly, the involvement of these factors in the vascular system and immunity. Thus, the OPG/RANK/RANKL
molecular triad appears to be associated with vascular calcifications and plays a pivotal function in the development of the
immune system through dendritic cells. OPG/RANK/RANKL thus constitute a molecular bridge spanning bone metabolism, vascular
biology and immunity. This review summarizes recent knowledge of OPG/RANK/RANKL interactions and activities as well as the
current evidence for their participation in osteoimmunology and vascular diseases. In fine, the targeting of the OPG/RANK/RANKL
axis as novel therapeutic approaches will be discussed.

Sickle cell anemia (SS) patients can be divided into two sub-populations according to peripheral HbF levels. Patients with low (<9%) HbF levels (LFSS) are characterized by an increased number of circulating BFU-E in active DNA synthesis, and release of burst promoting activity (BPA) by unstimulated low density (LD) adherent cells. In contrast, circulating BFU-E from SS patients with high (>9%) HbF levels (HFSS) are normal in number, largely in resting phase, and their LD cells do not release BPA-like activity.More recently further heterogeneity has been found among these two groups. In LFSS patients GM-CSF is constitutively produced by unstimulated monocytes. In contrast, HFSS patients' adherent cell depletion increases cycling of BFU-E in culture. CM from HFSS patients inhibits BFU-E expression in culture. Hence, LD adherent cells from HFSS patients may release an inhibitory factor(s). The nature of this factor has to be determined.In addition, there are distinct subpopulations of BFU-E responsiveness to growth factor (GM-CSF, IL-3): a) LFSS patients have a homogeneous BFU-E population, equally responsive to GM-CSF and IL-3; b) HFSS patients, in addition to this subpopulation, have a subset of BFU-E dependent exclusively on IL-3 which is 20 to 40% of the total number of circulating BFU-E. This is similar to BFU-E from normal individuals. Hence, LFSS BFU-E represent an actively proliferating population, equally responsive to GM-CSF and IL-3, controlled by at least constitutively produced GM-CSF and possibly other factors.These observations suggest a significant modification in BFU-E behavior in the subset of SS patients with low HbF levels and high hemopoietic stress. The heterogenous regulation of BFU-E in SS disease seems to be an epiphenomenon of HbF levels, and not vice-versa. 相似文献

Summary Under the influence of demineralized bone pieces L6 cells differentiate into chondrocytes. The cartilage formed is identifiable histologically. The results demonstrate that these myoblastic cells, which are committed to produce muscle, may still be influenced to express another potentiality of their genome. 相似文献

Summary A gelatin sponge model system for tumor cell inoculation and retrieval of tumor-associated leukocytes is described. Gelatin sponges pre-implanted in nude mice harboring tumorigenic Chinese hamster ovary cells (line CHO) were examined at 2 and 11 days after injection of tumor cells for tumor cell content and leukocyte accumulation after digesting the sponge matrix in collagenase solution.The data indicate a progressive influx of host cells consisting primarily of macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes. The total number of viable tumor cells as well as the fraction of surviving tumor cells with clonogenic potential also increased with tumor age. Blank sponges not harboring tumor cells elicited an inflammatory response in the animals which did not change appreciably with length of sponge residence. However, when the sponges were harboring tumor cells, the accumulation of host leukocytes far exceeded that which occurred in blank sponges. This observation suggests a host response directed toward the tumor which is absent in animals bearing blank sponges. Apart from providing anchorage for injected cells, the gelatin sponge, by virtue of its digestibility in collagenase, makes possible the easy retrieval and precise quantitation of tumor-associated host cells.Supported by the United States Department of Energy and National Institutes of Health Grant P41-RR01315. 相似文献

Surface receptors and functional interactions of human natural killer cells: from bench to the clinic 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The past 10years have witnessed dramatic progress in our understanding of how natural killer (NK) cells function and their role in innate immunity. Thanks to an array of inhibitory receptors specific for different HLA class I molecules, human NK cells can sense the decrease or loss of even single alleles at the cell surface. This represents a typical condition of a potential danger, i.e. the presence of tumor or virally infected cells. NK cell triggering and lysis of these cells is mediated by several activating receptors and coreceptors that have recently been identified and cloned. While normal cells are usually resistant to NK-mediated attack, a remarkable exception is represented by dendritic cells (DCs). In their immature form they are susceptible to NK-mediated lysis because of the expression of low levels of surface HLA class I molecules. The process of DC maturation (mDCs) is characterized by the surface expression of high levels of HLA class I molecules. Accordingly, mDCs become resistant to NK cells. A recent major breakthrough highlighted the role played by donor NK cells in allogenic bone marrow transplantation to cure acute myeloid leukemias. Alloreactive NK cells derived from donor hematopoietic precursors not only prevented leukemic relapses, but also prevented graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease.Received 12 March 2003; received after revision 18 April 2003; accepted 30 April 2003 相似文献

Tumor microenvironment consists of tumor cells, stromal cells, extracellular matrix and a plethora of soluble components. The complex array of interactions between tumor cells and their surrounding tumor microenvironments contribute to the determination of the fate of tumor cells during tumorigenesis and metastasis. Matricellular protein periostin is generally absent in most adult tissues but is highly expressed in tumor microenvironments. Current evidence reveals that periostin plays a critical role in establishing and remodeling tumor microenvironments such as the metastatic niche, cancer stem cell niche, perivascular niche, pre-metastatic niche, fibrotic microenvironment and bone marrow microenvironment. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of the multifaceted role of periostin in the tumor microenvironments. 相似文献

OCT4 is considered a main regulator of embryonic stem cell pluripotency and self renewal capacity. It was shown that relevant
OCT4 expression only occurs in cells of embryonic pluripotent nature. However, several recent publications claimed to have
demonstrated OCT4 expression in human somatic tumor cells, human adult stem or progenitor cells and differentiated cells.We
analysed 42 human tumor cell lines from 13 entities and human bone marrowderived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). To validate
OCT4 expression we used germ cell tumor (GCT) cell lines, derived xenografts and GCT samples. Analysis by RT-PCR, western
blotting, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry was performed. With exception of typical embryonal carcinoma cells,
we did not observe reliable OCT4 expression in somatic tumor cell lines and MSC. We suggest that a high level of expression
of the OCT4 protein together with its nuclear localization still remains a reliable and definitive feature of cells with embryonic
pluripotent nature.

Role of full-length osteoprotegerin in tumor cell biology 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor family member, which potently inhibits RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis.
Numerous constructs have been created for therapeutic purposes in which the heparin-binding and death homology domains of
OPG were removed and the remaining peptide (amino acids 22–194) was fused to the Fc domain of human IgG1 (OPG-Fc). The administration
of OPG-Fc efficiently counteracted bone loss in a variety of preclinical models of cancers. However, several in vitro studies have shown that native or recombinant full-length OPG not only neuralizes RANKL, but also the death-inducing ligand
TRAIL, suggesting that OPG might potentially counteract the anti-tumor activity of TRAIL. Additional evidence suggests that
full-length OPG possesses RANKL- and TRAIL-independent biological properties, mainly related to the promotion of endothelial
cell survival and angiogenesis. Finally, breast tumor cells overexpressing OPG have shown increased bone metastatic potential
in vivo. The relevance of these apparently conflicting findings in tumor cell biology is highlighted.

Hyaluronan synthesis and degradation in cartilage and bone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Hyaluronan (HA) is a large but simple glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating D-glucuronic acid, β1–3 linked to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine β1–4, found in body fluids and tissues, in both intra- and extracellular compartments. Despite its structural
simplicity, HA has diverse functions in skeletal biology. In development, HA-rich matrices facilitate migration and condensation
of mesenchymal cells, and HA participates in joint cavity formation and longitudinal bone growth. In adult cartilage, HA binding
to aggrecan immobilises aggrecan, retaining it at the high concentrations required for compressive resilience. HA also appears
to regulate bone remodelling by controlling osteoclast, osteoblast and osteocyte behaviour. The functions of HA depend on
its intrinsic properties, which in turn rely on the degree of polymerisation by HA synthases, depolymerisation by hyaluronidases,
and interactions with HA-binding proteins. HA synthesis and degradation are closely regulated in skeletal tissues and aberrant
synthetic or degradative activity causes disease. The role and regulation of HA synthesis and degradation in cartilage, bone
and skeletal development is discussed.

Thrombospondin (TSP) is a multifunctional glycoprotein which is synthesised by several cell types including osteoblasts, and incorporated into the extracellular matrix (ECM) of these cells. The function and regulation of TSP in bone is not clear. In this study, using a long term culture model of human osteoblast-like cells, we examined the distribution of TSP in the ECM and its modulation by added estradiol. In this model the osteoblast-like cells form a regular multilayer which continues to increase in depth up to 50 days post confluence. In the ECM of these cultures and in 19-week fetal bone, the bone markers osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase were diffusely distributed in the matrix. In contrast, labelling for TSP was concentrated, confined to the banded collagen and its immediately adjacent ECM. This pattern of labelling resembled that of the growth factors transforming growth factor-I (TGF), and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), with which TSP label co-localised. Labelling intensities were comparable between fetal bone and the in vitro material for TSP, TGF and IGF-I. TSP label was present by 10 days post confluence, reached a maximum by 20 days, and declined slowly thereafter, a time course which was similar to that of IGF-I. Incubation of osteoblast-like cell cultures with 17 estradiol resulted in an increase in multilayer depth and a maximal 3-fold increase in TSP labeling at 30 days as well as approximately 2-fold increases for TGF and IGF-I. The dose-response relationship for these responses to estradiol treatment was biphasic with maximal increases at 10–10 M–10–11 M of added estradiol. Treatment with 17 estradiol produced labelling intensities that were not significantly different from controls. Studies with other cell types have suggested that TSP may be involved in modulation of growth factor activity. The similarities between TSP, TGF and IGF-I, in terms of their distribution and regulation by 17 estradiol treatment, may indicate a role for TSP in modulating bone cell proliferation and function through interaction with local growth factors. 相似文献

During 21 days of indomethacin treatment, erythroid cells in the spleens of both young adult and older mice, and in the bone marrow of young adult mice, were increased significantly early, in treatment, relative to age-matched control organs, and remained high throughout treatment. During drug exposure, the numbers of myeloid cells in young adult bone marrow, but not spleen, were reduced, but in older mice these cells were elevated in both organs. Lymphoid cells in the young adult and older mouse spleens decreased and increased, respectively, during treatment, but were unchanged and decreased, respectively, in the bone marrow of young adult and older mice. Monocytemacrophage cells in the spleen were elevated but unchanged in the bone marrow of both age groups. During 14 days of indomethacin treatment of houng adult mice, the proportions of precursor cells in DNA synthesis of only the splenic erythroid lineage were increased. Thus, the major hemopoietic lineages in both the bone marrow and spleen are affected by exposure to indomethacin in a time-dependent and age-dependent manner. For all lineages studied, those of the bone marrow were least disturbed, and/or were first to recover, even during continued drug exposure. 相似文献

Four novel proteins (phoratoxins C–F) have been isolated from the North American mistletoe Phoradendron tomentosum. The amino acid sequences of these phoratoxins were determined unambiguously using a combination of Edman degradation and
trypsin enzymatic digestion, and by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry sequencing. Phoratoxins C, E and F consist
of 46 amino acid residues; and phoratoxin D of 41. All proteins had six cysteines, similar to the earlier described phoratoxins
A and B, which are thionins. The cytotoxicity of each protein was evaluated in a human cell line panel that represented several
cytotoxic drug-resistance mechanisms. For the half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50 values) of the different cell lines in the panel, correlation with those of standard drugs was low. The most potent cytotoxic
phoratoxin C was further tested on primary cultures of human tumor cells from patients. The solid tumor samples from breast
cancer cells were 18 times more sensitive to phoratoxin C than the tested hematological tumor samples.
