Cytokinetics of tumour and endothelial cells and vascularization of lung metastases in C3H/He mice

Cell and Tissue Kinetics
N Gunduz

Abstract

A model of lung metastases was developed using intravenous injection of tumour cell aggregates of spontaneous C3H/He mammary tumours in syngeneic mice. The growth rate of lung tumours decreased with increasing tumour volume with mean host survival of 46 days. The cytokinetics of individual tumours ranging between 0.004 and 4.2 mm3 in volume were studied. The labelling index (LI) ranged between 12 and 17%, the DNA synthesis time (Ts) being 9-10 hr. The growth fraction (GF) ranged between 26 and 38%. The cell cycle time (Tc) was found to be 18-19 hr. The LI and the GF decreased with increasing tumour volume doubling time (Td). No correlation was found between the tumour volume and Tc. The LI of endothelial cells within these tumours, ranging between 0.004 and 4.2 mm3 in volume was 14-15% and endothelial cell proliferation was not affected by tumour growth. Vascular parameters were also determined for these tumours as a function of tumour volume. Vascular volume increased with increasing tumour size while the percentage of capillary vessels decreased. The cellular volume to capillary volume ratio increased with increasing tumour volume. Necrosis was observed in 0.27 mm3 tumours and increased with increasing tumour size. The result...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
