In Vitro Assay to Study Tumor-macrophage Interaction
Published on: August 1, 2019
Resumen
Los fibrosarcomas murinos son a menudo pleoclonales, lo que significa que contienen múltiples clones celulares. Su composición clonal cambia durante el cultivo de tejidos y el trasplante, lo que sugiere cambios en la cinética de crecimiento de la subpoblación.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Oncología Oncología.
- Biología del cáncer Biología del cáncer.
- Genética La genética.
Sus antecedentes:
- El desarrollo del cáncer se basa en clones de células transformadas.
- La inactivación del cromosoma X en las hembras crea mosaicismo, un marcador para los tumores monoclonales.
- Estudios previos sobre fibrosarcomas murinos utilizaron evidencia morfológica para evaluar la composición clonal.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la composición clonal de las fibrosarcomas murinas.
- Para determinar si la composición clonal del tumor cambia durante las manipulaciones experimentales.
- Comprender las implicaciones de la heterogeneidad clonal en el desarrollo de tumores.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron subestirpes de ratón histocompatibles homocigotas para las alloenzimas de la fosfoglicerato quinasa (PGK-1).
- Fibrosarcomas inducidos químicamente en híbridos de ratón.
- Evalúa la composición clonal del tumor a través del análisis del fenotipo enzimático y los experimentos de trasplante.
- Cultivó sublíneas tumorales y las trasplantó a huéspedes congénitos.
Principales resultados:
- Se ha confirmado que los fibrosarcomas murinos son frecuentemente pleoclonales.
- Se demostraron cambios significativos en la composición clonal durante el cultivo de tejidos.
- Se observaron marcadas alteraciones en la composición clonal tras el trasplante a huéspedes congénitos.
- Se encontró que las sublíneas clonadas exhibían una transplantabilidad variable, lo que sugiere mecanismos de selección o supervivencia cooperativa.
Conclusiones:
- La composición clonal del fibrosarcoma murino es dinámica y puede cambiar significativamente.
- Es probable que estos cambios sean impulsados por la cinética diferencial de crecimiento de las subpoblaciones tumorales.
- La heterogeneidad clonal puede desempeñar un papel crucial en la progresión tumoral, la metástasis y la recurrencia.

02:18Cancer
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
02:17The Tumor Microenvironment
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...
02:30Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

01:22T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.

01:27Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Cytotoxic T cells are a vital component of the immune system. They have the remarkable ability to identify and target antigens on infected or abnormal cells. These antigens often originate from intracellular pathogens such as viruses or abnormal proteins cancer cells produce.
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...

01:27Tumor Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
