ABSTRACT

La línea celular TC-1 se ha utilizado en la evaluación de la inmunoterapia antitumoral. No existen reportes sobre el efecto de las células TC-1 en tejidos adyacentes cuando se implantan en ratones C57BL/6. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la interacción entre las células TC-1 implantadas y las fibras musculares adyacentes. Se emplearon 8 ratones con células TC-1 implantadas y 3 ratones sin células. Se colectó el sitio del implante de las células tumorales a 10 días, las muestras se procesaron para microscopia de luz y electrónica de transmisión. Se realizaron tinciones con HyE y tricrómico de Masson, histoquímica con PAS, e inmunohistoquímica para identificar citoqueratinas, actina específica de músculo y metaloproteinasa de la matriz-9 (MMP-9). También se comparó el diámetro de las fibras musculares en ambos grupos de estudio. En el análisis histológico se observaron masas de células TC-1 que infiltran el tejido muscular y separan a las fibras entre sí. Las fibras musculares mostraron variaciones en la intensidad de la tinción y disminución de su diámetro. Se observaron masas de células tumorales TC-1 que invaden la fibra hacia el interior y logran atravesar la lámina externa y el sarcolema que las rodea. Se observó positividad a MMP-9 en el citoplasma de las células TC-1, y en el espacio entre las células tumorales y las fibras musculares. En el análisis ultraestructural se observó fragmentación y variaciones en el grosor de la lámina externa y vesículas subsarcolemales en el sitio en donde las células TC-1 invaden las fibras.Ahí, las células TC1 emiten proyecciones de membrana similares a pseudópodos....


TC-1 cells implanted in C57BL/6 mice are a model for evaluation of anti-tumor immunotherapy. To date there are no reports on the effect of implanted TC-1 cells upon neighboring striated muscle cells. The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphology of the interaction established among the implanted cells and the striated muscle cells. The study was carried out as follows: 8 adult C57BL/6 mice received 5x104 cells IP. As a control, 3 mice received no cells. 10 days after cells injection, no signs of tumor are present yet, and the site of cells injection was collected for morphological studies. Samples were processed for light and transmission electron microscopy. Histological sections were stained with H & E, Masson trichromic method, PAS histochemistry and immunohistochemistry for cytocheratins AE1/AE3, muscle specific actin and for matrix metalloproteinase-9. Cross section diameter of muscle sections was compared among experimental and control groups. The histological evaluation showed groups of tumor cells, infiltrating the spaces among muscle fibers. Muscle fibers showed variations in the cross section diameter as well as in the staining pattern. TC-1 cells were seen very close to muscle cells, invading the lamina externa and sarcolema to finally form groups of cells located within the sarcoplasm. This finding was demonstrated by the specific immunolabel for each kind of cell. Reactivity for metalloproteinase-9 was observed within the tumor cells and in the space mediating between the tumor cells and the muscle fiber. At the ultrastructural level, variations of the thickness of lamina externa were observed, as well as interruptions of this structure. Sarcolema also showed fragmentation, and close to these sites a number of subsarcolemmal vesicles were seen. In the vicinity of the muscle fiber, TC-1 cells formed membrane projections directed towards muscle membrane...

ABSTRACT

Peroxisomicine A1 (PA1), one of the toxins isolated from seeds of plants of the Karwinskia genus, whose targets organs are the liver, kidney, and lungs. There is a selective toxicity in vitro to cancer-cell lines derived from the lungs, liver, and colon, compared to normal cell lines. PA1 caused apoptosis in several cancer-cell lines in culture. In toxic doses to rodents, it causes extensive apoptosis in the liver, kidney, and lungs. In our study we were interested in evaluating, for the first time, the morphological effects of administration of PA1 to implanted TC-1 cells and in the target organs in vivo. The TC-1 cells were cultured and injected into the hind limb of C57BL-6 mice. The animals were divided into 3 groups; those treated with four doses of 1 mg/kg each of PA1, the untreated control, and the vehicle-control groups. All mice were killed 10 days after cell implantation. Samples were obtained from TC-1 cells at the implantation site and from the liver, kidney, and lungs. The samples were processed for examination under light and electron microscopy. In the PA1-treated group, the TC-1 cells had necrosis, whereas in the control groups the tumor cells were undamaged. The target organs did not show any lesions. We demonstrated for the first time that there is a selective toxic effect of PA1 on the TC-1 cells in vivo.


Peroxisomicina A1 (PA1), una de las toxinas aisladas de las semillas de plantas del género Karwinskia, cuyos órganos blanco son hígado, riñón y pulmón. Hay una toxicidad selectiva in vitro contra líneas celulares cancerosas derivadas de pulmón, hígado y colon, comparadas con líneas celulares normales. PA1 causa apoptosis en varias líneas celulares malignas en cultivo. En dosis tóxicas a roedores, causa extensa apoptosis en hígado, riñón y pulmón. En nuestro estudio, estuvimos interesados en evaluar por primera vez los efectos morfológicos de la administración temprana de PA1 sobre células TC-1 implantadas y los órganos blanco in vivo. Las células TC-1 fueron cultivadas e implantadas en la extremidad posterior de ratones C57BL-6. Los animales fueron divididos en tres grupos: tratado con cuatro dosis de 1 mg/kg de peso de PA1, control sin tratamiento y control vehículo. Todos los animales fueron sacrificados 10 días posterior al implante de las células. Se colectaron muestras del sitio del implante de las células TC-1 y de hígado, riñón y pulmón. Las muestras fueron procesadas para su análisis a microscopía de luz y microscopia electrónica de transmisión. En el grupo tratado con PA1, las células TC-1 presentaron necrosis, mientras que en los grupos control las células tumorales se observaron sin daño. Los órganos blanco no mostraron lesión alguna. Demostramos por primera vez que existe un efecto tóxico selectivo de PA1 sobre las células TC-1 in vivo.
