RESUMO

Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pathogenesis of gastric malignancies is well known. Many human tumours have shown significant changes in the activity and expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), which might be correlated with clinical-pathological parameters for the prognosis of human carcinoma. The aim of this study is the detection of MnSOD and CuZnSOD activity and their expression in gastric adenocarcinoma and healthy tissues. Gastric samples (adenocarcinoma and healthy tissues) harvested during endoscopy or resected during surgery were used to determine MnSOD and CuZnSOD activity and expression by spectrophotometric and Western blotting assays. The total SOD activity was significantly higher (p<0.05) in healthy mucosa with respect to gastric adenocarcinomas. No differences were found in MnSOD activity and, on the contrary, CuZnSOD activity was significantly lower (p<0.001) in cancer samples with respect to normal mucosa. The rate of MnSOD/CuZnSOD activity in adenocarcinoma was over ninefold higher than that registered in healthy tissues (p<0.05). Moreover, in adenocarcinoma MnSOD activity represented the 83% of total SOD with respect to healthy tissues where the ratio was 52% (p<0.001). On the contrary, in cancer tissues, CuZnSOD activity accounted for only 17% of the total SOD (p<0.001 if compared with the values recorded in normal mucosa). After immunoblotting, MnSOD was more expressed in adenocarcinoma with respect to normal mucosa (p<0.001), while CuZnSOD was similarly expressed in adenocarcinoma and healthy tissues. The SOD activity assay might provide a specific and sensitive method of analysis that allows the differentiation of healthy tissue from tumour tissue. The MnSOD to CuZnSOD activity ratio, and the ratio between these two isoforms and total SOD, presented in this preliminary study might be considered in the identification of cancerous from healthy control tissue.

RESUMO

The present study reports the characteristics of the biochemical profile of human gastric adenocarcinoma in comparison with that of healthy gastric mucosa, using ex vivo HR-MAS Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Healthy human mucosa is mainly characterized by the presence of small metabolites (more than 50 identified) and macromolecules, whereas the adenocarcinoma spectra are dominated by the presence of signals due to triglycerides, whose content on the contrary is very low in healthy gastric mucosa. The use of spin-echo experiments enable us to detect some metabolites in the unhealthy tissues and to determine their variation with respect to the healthy ones. We have observed that the Cho:ChoCC ratio changes from 20:80 in the healthy tissues to 80:20 in the neoplastic gastric mucosa.

RESUMO

The present case report was aimed at identifying the molecular profile characteristic of a primitive neuro-ectodermal tumor (PNET) in a 3-year-old child affected by a lesion localized in the cerebellar region. The histological diagnosis was medulloblastoma. In vivo single voxel 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) shows high specificity in detecting the main metabolic alterations in the primitive cerebellar lesion; a very high amount of the choline-containing compounds and very low level of creatine derivatives and N-acetylaspartate. Ex vivo high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy, performed at 9.4 Tesla on the neoplastic specimen collected during surgery, allows for the unambiguous identification of several metabolites giving a more in-depth evaluation of the metabolic pattern of the lesion. The ex vivo HR-MAS MR spectra show that the spectral detail is much higher than that obtained in vivo and that, for example, myo-inositol, taurine and phosphorylethanolamine contribute to the in vivo signal at 3.2 ppm, usually attributed to choline-containing compounds. In addition, the spectroscopic data appear to correlate with some morphological features of the medulloblastoma. Consequently, the present study shows that ex vivo HR-MAS 1H MRS is able to strongly improve the clinical possibility of in vivo MRS and can be used in conjunction with in vivo spectroscopy for clinical purposes.

RESUMO

The present study was aimed at identifying the molecular profile characteristic of the healthy human gastric mucosa. Ex vivo HR-MAS magnetic resonance spectroscopy performed at 9.4 Tesla (400.13 MHz for (1)H) on gastric specimens collected during endoscopy, permits the identification of more than forty species giving a detailed picture of the biochemical pattern of the gastric tissues. These preliminary data will be used for a comparison with gastric preneoplastic and neoplastic situations. Moreover, the full knowledge of the biochemical pattern of the healthy gastric tissues is the necessary presupposition for the application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy directly in vivo.

RESUMO

This study presents a multinuclear (1H, 13C and 31P) magnetic resonance spectroscopy characterization of the total lipid fraction extracted from different regions of a human kidney affected by a clear cell renal carcinoma. It was thus possible to demonstrate that cholesteryl esters and phosphatidylcholine are markers of the tumor infiltration, histologically confirmed, in the kidney medulla. The tumor tissue contains twice the amount of phosphatidylcholine compared to normal cortex. The results appear relevant in light of new clinical applications based on the biochemical composition of human tissues.

RESUMO

We report on the characterization of the lipid obtained from cortical and medullary normal human kidney tissue, benign renal neoplasms (oncocytoma) and 2 different types of malignant renal neoplasms (chromophobic cell carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma). The total lipid fractions were analyzed by 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy and thin-layer chromatography, whereas the composition of the total fatty acids and the content of total cholesterol were determined by gas chromatography. alpha-Tocopherol was detected and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. The spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis revealed significant differences in the renal tissues examined. It was confirmed that cholesteryl esters (mainly oleate) are typical of clear cell renal carcinomas. Their potential role as prognostic and diagnostic factors is discussed, with particular emphasis on its capability to indicate the tumor diffusion in healthy renal parenchyma. alpha-Tocopherol is prevalent in clear cell carcinoma and it is present in nearly the same low amounts in cortex, medulla and chromophobic cell renal carcinoma. Q10 coenzyme and dolichols were detected by thin-layer chromatography and they are present in significant amounts in the cortex and the benign oncocytoma. Great variations were found in the distribution of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, especially in the docosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic and arachidonic acids and the corresponding omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids ratio.

RESUMO

Lipids extracted from three human renal neoplasms have been characterized by means of 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The presence of free cholesterol, high levels of unsatured fatty acids, and phosphatidylcholine, and a very high fatty acids/cholesterol ratio makes the lipid profile of a rare chromophobe cell carcinoma very similar to that of an oncocytoma. On the contrary, clear cell carcinomas are mainly characterized by the presence of almost fully esterified cholesterol and by a markedly lower level of unsatured fatty acids. Since chromophobic cell carcinomas have a more favourable prognosis than clear cell carcinomas, their analogy in the lipid composition with a benign renal neoplasm could have a clinical significance. In particular, our report suggests that cholesteryl esters and high levels of unsatured fatty acids could be a marker of a poor (clear cell carcinomas) or a good (chromophobic cell carcinomas) prognosis, respectively. More in depth studies are required of the molecular composition of the neoplastic pathologies that add new knowledge, with potential clinical implications.

RESUMO

Lipids from human renal tissues are studied by means of (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy. The total lipid fractions obtained from healthy kidneys, malignant renal cell carcinomas, and benign oncocytomas are characterized and analyzed to elucidate the main differences between the functional and neoplastic tissues. In all cases the lipid components are well identified. The healthy kidney is characterized by high amounts of triglycerides and the presence of cholesterol in its free form. On the contrary, renal cell carcinomas contain high amounts of cholesterol that are almost completely esterified as oleate, suggesting an intracellular localization of the cholesteryl esters synthesis. Cholesteryl esters are considered markers of renal cell carcinomas, thus supporting recent theories that these compounds play a leading role in cell proliferation. Oncocytomas are particularly rich in phosphatidylcholine and, analogous to the healthy kidney, are completely lacking in cholesteryl esters. Healthy kidneys and oncocytomas appear to have other similarities if compared with renal cell carcinomas: a very high fatty acyl/cholesterol ratio, the presence of dolichols, and a higher grade of unsaturation. The (13)C data suggest a new method for the direct evaluation of the saturated/unsaturated fatty acyl ratio.

RESUMO

Cholesteryl esters (CholE) were detected in human malignant neoplasms by means of in vitro nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Spectroscopic analysis of the total lipid extracts obtained from cerebral tumors revealed appreciable amount of esterified cholesterol in high grade gliomas such as glioblastomas and anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, characterized by prominent neovascularity. The finding that no CholE were detected in the healthy brain and in low grade and benign tumors supports a possible correlation between this class of lipids and histological vascular proliferation. Compared with high grade gliomas, renal cell carcinomas show higher levels of CholE, absent in the healthy renal parenchyma and in benign oncocytomas. In nefro-carcinomas, cytoplasmic lipid inclusions and prominent vascularization contribute to the increased levels of CholE present mainly as oleate. CholE are discussed as potential biochemical markers of cancer and as a target for new therapeutic strategies.

RESUMO

The clinical impact of (1)H NMR spectroscopy in the study of human organs, brain and kidney in particular, is well demonstrated. The in vitro (1)H NMR technique is a powerful tool for monitoring changes in intracellular metabolites of human normal and neoplastic cerebral and renal tissues. Healthy and tumoral tissues of different histologic types have been fully characterized from a biochemical standpoint. Molecular characterization is performed on both the aqueous and lipid extracts of surgically removed tissue biopsies yielding a full picture of tissue biochemistry. These analyses have disclosed markers of healthy brain and kidney and of their respective neoplastic lesions. Moreover, some biochemical features can differentiate neoplasms within the same histological type. In particular, lipidic components, like cholesteryl esters (namely oleate), detected in highest grade tumors, warrant further investigation. A better understanding of the biochemistry of diseased human tissues could open the way to new diagnostic and treatment strategies.

RESUMO

This study shows how 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) can help to elucidate a clinical case when MR images suggest a diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm. The in vivo MRS metabolic profile in our cases did not correspond to literature reports of brain tumors, but reflected the histopathological response of hematoma and the in vitro 1H MR spectra of the biopsy obtained at surgery. The in vitro spectrum of the aqueous extracts of the examined lesion were compared with those of two common CNS tumors. The lipid fraction spectrum of the lesion agreed with both the spectrum of the aqueous extracts and the histological diagnosis.

RESUMO

Multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, and (31)P) magnetic resonance spectroscopy are applied to the biochemical characterization of the total lipid fraction of healthy and neoplastic human brain tissues. Lipid extracts from normal brains, glioblastomas, anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, oligodendrogliomas, and meningiomas are examined. Moreover, the unknown liquid content of a cyst adjacent to a meningioma is analyzed. Two biopsies from glioblastomas are directly studied by (1)H-NMR without any treatment (ex vivo NMR). The (1)H- and (13)C-NMR analysis allows full characterization of the lipid component of the cerebral tissues. In particular, the presence of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in the extracts of high grade tumors is correlated to the vascular proliferation degree, which is different from normal brain tissue and low grade neoplasms. The (31)P spectra show that phosphatidylcholine is the prominent phospholipid and its relative amount, which is higher in gliomas, is correlated to the low grade of differentiation of tumor cells and an altered membrane turnover. The ex vivo (1)H-NMR data on the glioblastoma samples show the presence of mobile lipids that are correlated to cell necrotic phenomena. Our data allow a direct correlation between biochemical results obtained by NMR and the histopathological factors (vascular and cell proliferations, differentiation, and necrosis) that are prominent in determining brain tumor grading.

RESUMO

Samples from ten patients with renal cell carcinomas (RCC) were examined by 1H MRS and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurements. Twenty samples, ten from the tumor and ten from the surrounding healthy renal region were obtained. MRS yielded information on renal osmolytes which can be considered markers of physiological kidney function. The marked decrease of these osmolytes is a hallmark of cancer. Moreover, HPLC measurements disclosed the amino acid pattern of both healthy and neoplastic tissues. The Glu and Ea content had statistical significance. GSH was present in tumor tissues only.

RESUMO

In this study we report an in vitro 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) characterization of water soluble metabolites obtained from 17 low grade extra and intracerebral human tumors (8 meningiomas, 5 oligodendrogliomas, 2 subependimomas and 2 ependimomas). In addition, the in vivo localized 1H MRS results for 4 of the meningiomas are reported. The main metabolic features characterizing low grade tumors were investigated. Meningiomas are characterized by high Cho/Cr and Ala/Cr ratios; in many cases both in the in vitro and the in vivo spectra these ratios cannot be evaluated, due to the absence of the Cr metabolite. Low grade oligodendrogliomas are characterized by low Cho/Cr ratios. High amounts of myo-inositol are found in the spectra of ependimomas and subependimomas which are distinguished by different Cho/Cr ratio values and by a different Ala content.

RESUMO

Eighteen patients affected by glial brain tumors were examined by localized single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS). For all patients histological diagnosis was obtained after stereotactic biopsy or surgical removal of the tumor. Histological nuclear atypia, tumor cellularity, necrosis, vascular proliferation and percentage of Ki-67 positive cells in the total cell populations were evaluated. It was found that some of the in vivo 1H MRS parameters were related to the histological features of the tumor. In particular, the Choi/Cri metabolite ratio obtained from the neoplastic tissues paralleled the Ki-67 cell proliferation index. For some of the patients 1H and 13C in vitro high resolution magnetic spectroscopy of surgical specimens was also carried out. 1H MRS of aqueous extracts from different biopsy specimens of the same tumor furnished fine biochemical information on intratumor heterogeneity. The degree of histological vascular proliferation of the tumor was correlated to the presence of cholesteryl esters in the 13C spectrum of the lipid fraction of surgical specimens.

RESUMO

Localized in vivo 1H MR spectra of four patients with brain tumors and in vitro multinuclear (1H, 13C and 31P) MR characterization of water soluble and lipid components of the same tumors after surgical removal are reported herein. The in vivo spectra of the neoplastic regions of all patients showed N-Acetyl-Aspartate/Choline (NAA/Cho), Choline/Creatine (Cho/Cr) and N-Acetyl-Aspartate/Creatine (NAA/Cr) metabolite ratios markedly different from those of the controlateral healthy tissue. In vitro 1H MR measurements allowed for the identification of a much larger number of metabolites than those measured in vivo. Indeed, well resolved 1H, 13C and 31P MR spectra were obtained for water soluble and lipid components in all cases. Our data confirm that some metabolites observed in vitro could be specific markers of brain tumors.

RESUMO

This review deals with the application of Raman spectroscopy to the study of the biocompatibility of orthopaedic and ophthalmological materials and includes an introduction, a brief theory on the fundamental concepts of the technique, a description of the method and of the traditional and non-traditional instrumentation and a brief treatment of the surface properties of the different classes of materials. In the orthopaedic field, Raman studies on the structures of glasses, ceramic materials, carbon fibres and polymers before and after implantation are reviewed, particularly as far as structural modifications at the biomaterial-tissues interface are concerned. In the ophthalmological field, the chemical biocompatibility of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers for intraocular and intrastromal implants and for soft contact lenses is considered with respect to the presence of monomeric reactive centres in hydrophobic materials and the water amount in hydrophilic ones. The progress of the multichannel Raman technique for 'in-vivo' measurements is also described.

RESUMO

Decomposition of dimethylnitrosoamine (DMNA) by chemical and physical agents was further investigated. Both photoirradiation with sunlight or ultraviolet ray and reductive reactions under acid conditions (likely occurring in the stomach) led to the formation of formaldehyde, formic acid, and N-methydrazine, in addition to denitrosated compounds such as methylamine, dimethylamine, and N-methylhydroxylamine. N-Methylhydrazine was the only compound which was not detected by photoirradiation under neutral conditions. The agreement between physiochemical and metabolic degradation products and the possible biological meaning are discussed together with the problem of environmental contamination by the nitroso compound.
