Establishment of a murine model of malignant mesothelioma.

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumour of the serosal cavities which is associated with previous asbestos exposure and is generally found to be resistant to conventional forms of therapy. Adequate scientific and clinical assessment of this disease has been severely limited by the relatively low incidence of mesothelioma and the lack of representative cell lines and animal models. The purpose of this study was to develop an asbestos-induced murine model of MM both as an in vivo-passaged malignancy and as in vitro-established cell lines. Such a model system would be invaluable for use in the study of various cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of the disease, and for the pre-clinical evaluation of potential therapeutic agents. BALB/c and CBA mice were injected intraperitoneally with crocidolite asbestos. Seven to 25 months after exposure, 35% of the mice developed mesothelioma (5 BALB/c, 9 CBA), as determined by standard cytological and histological parameters. From these primary tumours, 12 continuously growing cell lines (5 BALB/c, 7 CBA) were established in culture. All have been confirmed as mesothelioma by cytological and ultrastructural (electron microscopy) analyses. These lines have been in culture for 7 to 24 months and have achieved passages above 32 (range 32 to 106). As in the human disease, the murine mesothelioma lines vary in their morphology and growth rates (doubling times ranging from 14 to 30 hr). All cell lines produced tumours when injected into syngeneic mice.

Correlation of epidermal growth factor receptor and c-erbB2 oncogene product to known prognostic indicators of colorectal cancer.

Both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) and the oncogene product of c-erbB2 have been shown to be expressed by human malignancies, and in some cases to relate to clinical outcomes. This study investigates the correlation between the presence of these receptor proteins and known prognostic indicators of colorectal cancer. Indirect immunoperoxidase staining of 32 freshly frozen surgical specimens revealed an overall expression of EGFr and c-erbB2 of 43% and 38%, respectively. A significantly higher rate of EGFr expression was found in tumours of more advanced stage (Dukes C and D), poor differentiation and those exhibiting vascular and lymphatic invasion. The presence of the c-erbB2 protein did not correlate with any of these variables. Expression of these molecules appeared to be independent and positive staining for both receptors occurred in only 19% of cases. EGFr may play a future role as a prognostic tool in colorectal cancer.

Genetic 'risk' for atopy is associated with delayed postnatal maturation of T-cell competence.

Recent in vitro studies suggest that IgE production in adults is co-ordinately regulated by negative signals from gamma IFN-producing CD4+ T-helper-1 (TH-1) and positive signals from IL-4 producing (TH-2) T-cells. Additionally, seroepidemiological evidence has pinpointed infancy as the period of maximum lifetime risk for T-cell sensitization to ubiquitous environmental antigens. The present study sought to elucidate the relationship between these observations, by examination of CD4+ T-cell function in normal children and those genetically at 'high risk' for atopy, spanning the age range (up to 4 years) in which IgE responses to environmental allergens is typically manifest. Immunocompetent T-cell precursor frequencies (determined by cloning at limiting dilution) were markedly reduced in 'high risk' children relative to normals (0.53 +/- 0.29 vs 0.26 +/- 0.19; P = 0.0025). Consistent with reports from other laboratories employing bulk T-cell culture techniques, the gamma IFN producing capacity of CD4+ T-cell clones from both groups of children were markedly reduced relative to adults, and was lowest in the high risk group (P < 0.02). IL-4 production by CD4+ T-cell clones from the normal children was within the adult range, but again was significantly lower in the high risk group (P < 0.00005). This indicates that initial immune responses to environmental allergens in early childhood occur against a background of maturational 'deficiency' in CD4+ T-cell function, and suggests the possibility that variations in the rate of postnatal maturation of T-cell competence may be a contributing factor in the development of differing patterns of immunological responsiveness to environmental allergens.

A clonal analysis of lung T cells derived by bronchoalveolar lavage of healthy individuals.

The characteristics of the T-cell population in the healthy human lung have been investigated by analysing the properties of T-cell clones derived from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples and comparing them with T cells cloned from the blood of the same individuals. The proportions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the starting populations from BAL and blood were similar although only 14% of BAL T cells were CD45RA+ compared to 70% of blood T cells. The precursor frequency of T-cell clones derived from BAL was less than from blood. The cytokine profiles [after phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation] of the clones derived from both sources were markedly different and these differences lay in the CD4+ population. BAL-derived CD4+ clones produced interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) more frequently than did those from blood while blood-derived clones were more likely to produce interleukin-2 (IL-2) than those from BAL. IL-4 was produced by the majority of BAL- or blood-derived clones (93% and 88% respectively) either along with IFN-gamma (BAL) or IL-2 (blood). The cytokine profiles of BAL-derived T-cell clones are consistent with those derived from lung interstitium and suggest that the BAL T-cell populations reflect those in the lung wall. Whether the unique properties of lung T cells are acquired after leaving the blood or whether there is selective entry of T-cell subpopulations into the lung remains to be determined.

Interaction between dactinomycin and tumor necrosis factor in mesothelioma. Cachexia without oncolysis.

There is no effective therapy for human malignant mesothelioma, and its susceptibility to recombinant cytokines has not been studied extensively. Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (rHuTNF alpha) was evaluated for its in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity using a human malignant mesothelioma cell line [DeH128(m)], both in culture and heterotransplanted in nude mice. In vitro, rHuTNF alone had no direct antimesothelioma activity assessed using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay, but in combination with the transcription inhibitor, dactinomycin (AD), mesothelioma cell metabolic activity was inhibited (80% of control). The effects of this combination of agents were studied on DeH128(m) cells heterotransplanted as subcutaneous tumors in nude mice. In vivo there was no significant inhibition of tumor growth by combined rHuTNF alpha and AD therapy, but the combination produced marked cachexia in doses at which each component (rHuTNF alone or AD alone) was well tolerated. The authors conclude that the well-described in vitro interaction between AD and rHuTNF also operates in vivo to produce cachexia and that the combination of these two agents is likely to have a low therapeutic index in malignant mesothelioma.

Establishment and characterization of five human malignant mesothelioma cell lines derived from pleural effusions.

Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive tumour of the serosal cavities which is associated with exposure to asbestos. Studies of this tumour have been limited by a paucity of well-characterized human MM cell lines. In this study, 5 human MM cell lines were established from pleural effusions of patients with this malignancy. All 5 patients were males with known crocidolite asbestos exposure, who had received no treatment for their disease and in whom the diagnosis was confirmed by cytology, histology and electron microscopy (EM). These lines have been in culture from 11 to 25 months, and all of them for more than 18 passages. The appearance of the cells in culture was extremely varied; in 3 of the lines they were spindle-shaped with few vacuoles (JU77, LO68 and ONE58); in 1 line they had a thick, stellate shape with vacuoles (NO36) and in 1 they were very pleomorphic in both shape and size with irregular membranes and numerous vacuoles [DeH128 (M)]. Upon reaching confluence, cells in 3 of the 5 lines assumed the cobblestone-like pattern characteristic of epithelial-type cells, whereas in the other 2 (LO68 and ONE58) they remained spindle-shaped. All 5 lines demonstrated a loss of contact inhibition (i.e., piling) at confluence. Minimum doubling times varied significantly from 18 hr (JU77) to more than 30 hr [DeH128 (M)]. Cytological examination showed characteristic mesothelial/mesothelioma morphology, and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and cytokeratin were demonstrated in cells from all 5 lines. These cells lacked CEA and epithelial mucin. The presence of cell junctions, glycogen and numerous long, thin, branching microvilli was readily demonstrable by EM. All lines had abnormal karyotypes, with the modal chromosome number varying from 40 to 80. Variable chromosome numbers, numerous structural rearrangements and unrecognizable marker chromosomes were readily observed; however, the only consistent change seen was del 6q21 in 4 of the 5 lines. The establishment of these 5 cultured human MM cell lines now provides an opportunity for comparative study of several aspects of the biology of MM in vitro as well as screening new treatment modalities.

Chemosensitivity and cytokine sensitivity of malignant mesothelioma.

Malignant mesothelioma arises in serosal tissues, is locally invasive, and is usually resistant to chemotherapeutic agents used clinically. To determine whether resistance to cytotoxic drugs was an inherent characteristic of mesothelioma cells, we performed in vitro chemosensitivity testing on five fully characterised human malignant mesothelioma cell lines and, for comparison, on three lines representative of clinically drug-resistant solid-tissue carcinomas using the MTT (tetrazolium bromide) assay system. Mesothelioma cell lines were intrinsically resistant to eight common antineoplastic drugs, with concentrations that produced a 50% reduction in optical density (IC50 values) for all drugs being equivalent, if not higher, for mesothelioma cell lines as compared with lung and colon carcinoma cell lines. We then investigated the direct anti-mesothelioma activity of recombinant human cytokines with their antineoplastic properties. All five mesothelioma cell lines were resistant to tumour necrosis factor, but they displayed varying degrees of sensitivity to interferons (IFNs). IFN gamma directly inhibited the growth of two of five mesothelioma lines. IFN alpha displayed little activity against four of five mesothelioma lines. The mesothelioma cells that were sensitive to IFN alpha were resistant to IFN gamma, indicating that sensitivity to IFNs is not a genetic characteristic of malignant mesothelioma cells. Significant interactions between cytokines in combination were not observed.

Capacity of tumor necrosis factor to augment lymphocyte-mediated tumor cell lysis of malignant mesothelioma.

Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rHuTNF) was evaluated both for direct anti-tumor action against human malignant mesothelioma and for its capacity to augment the generation and lytic phases of lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity against this tumor. rHuTNF was directly toxic by MTT assay to one of two mesothelioma cell lines evaluated, but had no effect on susceptibility to subsequent lymphocyte-mediated lysis of either line. TNF alone was incapable of generating anti-mesothelioma lymphokine-activated killer cell (LAK) activity. Furthermore, it did not augment the degree or LAK activity produced by submaximal interleukin-2 (IL-2) concentrations nor did it augment lysis of mesothelioma cells by natural killer (NK) or LAK effector cells during the 4-hr 51chromium release cytolytic reaction. The studies also suggest that mesothelioma targets are less responsive to TNF plus submaximal IL-2 concentrations than the standard LAK sensitive target Daudi, raising the possibility that intermediate LAK sensitive tumors such as mesothelioma may require separate and specific evaluation in immunomodulation studies. This in vitro study indicates that use of low-dose rHuTNF and IL-2 is unlikely to be an effective substitute for high-dose IL-2 in generation and maintenance of LAK activity in adoptive immunotherapy for mesothelioma.

Asbestos fibres inhibit the in vitro activity of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells from healthy individuals and patients with malignant mesothelioma.

Asbestos exposure is associated with an increased incidence of several malignancies, including malignant mesothelioma (MM). This study evaluates the relationship between asbestos exposure and the in vitro generation and function of LAK cells, an immune effector cell population with powerful lytic activity against MM cells. Both serpentine (chrysotile) and amphibole (amosite and crocidolite) forms of asbestos fibres suppress LAK cell generation, viability (by 5-11%, P less than 0.02) and cell recovery (by 13-15%, P less than 0.02). However, the LAK cells generated in the presence of the amphiboles were as effective as unexposed cells in lysing both standard tumour cell targets (K562, 56.4% lysis versus 61.5%, respectively, P greater than 0.5; NS; Daudi, 60.5% lysis versus 64.5% P greater than 0.5; NS), and MM tumour cell targets (mean of three MM cell lines 48.3% versus 46.3%, P greater than 0.5; NS), whereas the function of LAK cells generated in the presence of chrysotile was significantly reduced against three out of the five tumour cell targets tested (P less than 0.03). In the presence of asbestos fibres, LAK cell function was reduced against all five tumour cell targets (P less than 0.01), irrespective of whether the cell donors were healthy individuals or patients with MM. NK cell activity was also suppressed (P less than 0.01). The serpentine form of asbestos, chrysotile, was significantly more suppressive of both effector cell functions than either of the amphiboles (P less than 0.01). These findings suggest that asbestos exposure may suppress the function and in some instances the generation of immune effector cell mechanisms, thereby increasing the risk of disease and malignancy.

HLA antigen expression and malignant mesothelioma.

The expression of HLA antigens by a tumor may determine its progression and metastatic potential by influencing the immune response to that tumor. The upregulation of HLA antigen expression on some cell types by interferons (IFNs) may contribute to their antitumor activity. Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a tumor that has a poor prognosis and is unaffected by conventional therapy, although immunotherapy has not been adequately assessed. In this study, we have examined the constitutive and IFN-inducible expression of class I and class II HLA antigens on MM cell lines using indirect immunofluorescence and Northern blotting. All MM cell lines constitutively expressed class I, but not class II, surface antigen, and all three class I loci (HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C) were expressed. The MM cell lines were heterogeneous in their response to the IFNs. Treatment with IFN-alpha marginally increased class I surface expression, but not class II. Class I mRNA was, however, clearly increased in all cell lines after IFN-alpha treatment, suggesting that class I surface antigen was already maximally expressed. IFN-gamma increased class I mRNA expression in all but one cell line and induced DR expression on three of the cell lines. DQ-beta, but not DQ-alpha, mRNA was inducible in the same three cell lines, but DQ surface antigen was never demonstrable.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Allergens as proteases: an Aspergillus fumigatus proteinase directly induces human epithelial cell detachment.

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is characterized by pulmonary and systemic allergic and inflammatory processes triggered by fungal antigens. Airway damage is a feature of this disorder, and although Aspergillus-derived proteinases have been described, the capacity of Aspergillus, however, to directly induce damage to human epithelium has not previously been studied. We therefore cultured Aspergillus fumigatus from two patients with ABPA, extracted mycelial products by sonication and filtration, and then evaluated their capacity to induce epithelial cell (EC) desquamation from basement membrane using an in vitro model that uses intact human amniotic EC and native basement membrane. A. fumigatus extracts induced detachment of EC in a dose-dependent fashion, producing up to 34% +/- 6% detachment (p less than 0.05 compared to medium alone). Enzyme analysis of A. Fumigatus extract using synthetic substrates revealed the presence of a number of different enzymes; therefore, studies with specific proteinase inhibitors were undertaken to identify the proteinase(s) responsible for detachment. A. Fumigatus-induced desquamation was partially inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride and substantially inhibited by glutathione and N-acetylcysteine, but not by alpha 1-antitrypsin, 1,10 phenanthroline, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, aprotinin, or soybean trypsin inhibitor at concentrations that inhibit other serine- or metalloproteinases. Gel filtration of the extract with a Sepharose 6B column revealed that the major epithelium-detaching activity appeared in the 20 to 35 kd fraction. Comparison with proteinase standards suggested a role for a chymotrypsin-like proteinase. Thus, A. fumigatus releases a proteinase that is directly able to induce EC detachment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Study of human epithelial cell detachment and damage: effects of proteases and oxidants.

Polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) accumulation is associated with damage to airways epithelial cells in bronchitis, bronchiectasis and some forms of asthma. PMNs release several molecules which may mediate this damage, particularly proteases and oxidants. Using an in vitro model of intact human amnionic epithelial cells (EC) attached to native basement membrane (BM), we evaluated the capacity of several proteases and oxidants to induce detachment of EC from the BM. Maximum desquamation was observed with collagenase, elastase and trypsin, with minimum effective concentrations required to produce 50% EC-desquamation (MEC50) for highly purified collagenase, pancreatic elastase, human leucocyte elastase, human leucocyte cathepsin-G (Cath-G), trypsin, and kallikrein being 3616 +/- 989 U/mL, 32.3 +/- 14.7 U/mL, 85.8 +/- 26.7 U/mL, 360 +/- 20 U/mL, 340 +/- 49 BAEE U/mL and 300 +/- 23 U/mL, respectively. Urokinase (20 U/mL) and plasmin (500 U/mL) produced no desquamation in this system. Relatively high concentrations of oxidants also produced detachment (MEC50 for H2O2 and HOCl being 0.59 +/- 0.006 mol/L and 0.015 +/- 0.009 mol/L, respectively) and pretreatment of EC membranes with non-detaching concentrations of H2O2 rendered them 10-fold more susceptible to protease-induced desquamation, suggesting synergism. Reduced glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) and 1,10 phenanthroline ablated collagenase induced EC-detachment. Elastase induced detachment was sensitive to inhibition by phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and alpha 1-anti-proteinase (alpha 1-AP) and, to a lesser extent by aprotinin; trypsin-induced detachment was ablated by PMSF, alpha 1-AP and soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) but not by 1,10 phenanthroline or EDTA. Cath-G induced detachment was profoundly inhibited by SBTI, GSH and NAC. These data demonstrate that human EC can be detached from intact BM by several PMN products, including collagenase, Cath-G and elastase, and that PMN-mediated detachment can be prevented by Cath-G and collagenase inhibitors. The data suggest a role for proteases, particularly Cath-G and collagenase, plus oxidants in synergism with proteases, in mediating PMN-induced EC detachment.

In vivo boosting of lung natural killer and lymphokine-activated killer cell activity by interleukin-2: comparison of systemic, intrapleural and inhalation routes.

Natural killer (NK) cells are thought to play a role in host defence against malignancy and infection, in immunoregulation and as precursor cells in a generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells which can lyse NK-resistant tumour cells. As the lung is a major site for malignancy and infection and as there are large numbers of lymphoid cells including NK cells in the interstitial compartment of the lung, we evaluated the capacity of interleukin-2 (IL-2), a lymphokine capable of augmenting NK activity in vitro, to augment lung NK cell activity in vivo, using different routes of IL-2 administration. We compared both systemic (i.v. and i.p.) and local (intrapleural and inhalation) routes of IL-2 administration (50,000 U/daily for 5 days) using CBA mice, assessing NK and LAK cell activity in the spleen (systemic) and in the lung. The target cells used for these studies were the YAC-1 (NK-sensitive) and P815, NO36 and HA56 (NK-resistant, LAK-sensitive) cell lines. Splenic NK activity was increased by 1.4-1.9-fold for i.v./i.p., respectively, compared with controls with both systemic routes of administration, and lung NK activity was increased 3.2-fold and 3.8-fold (i.v./i.p, respectively, P less than 0.05), to levels which were comparable to systemic (splenic) NK activity following the same therapy. Intrapleural IL-2 administration similarly enhanced lung NK activity (3.3-fold) and splenic NK activity (1.3-fold; P less than 0.05 versus controls for both). Surprisingly, inhaled IL-2 suppressed both splenic and lung NK cell activity (84 +/- 8% and 78 +/- 10% suppression, respectively, P less than 0.05). LAK cell activity was also enhanced in the lung by 1.8-8-fold in response to i.v., i.p. and intrapleural IL-2, whereas inhaled IL-2 was ineffective in generating LAK cell activity. These results suggest that the systemic and intrapleural administration of IL-2 effectively boost pulmonary NK and LAK activity whereas inhalation of IL-2 does not. Thus, in clinical situations where boosting of local lung NK or LAK cell activity is desired, these routes of IL-2 administration may be effective.

Pulmonary gamma interferon production in patients with fibrosing alveolitis.

Patients with fibrosing alveolitis have active inflammation within their lung interstitium. Previous studies have focused on the humoral (immune complex) driven processes. In this study increased pulmonary gamma interferon production has been evaluated. Bronchoalveolar lavage cells were obtained from 40 patients with fibrosing alveolitis, 22 with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, and 18 with connective tissue disease associated (CTD) fibrosing alveolitis. Increased gamma interferon production was seen in 12 (30%) patients and was similar in the two study groups. Up to 512 units/10(6) cells were released over 24 hours, showing that the amounts of gamma interferon released could be as large as those seen in other pulmonary diseases associated with active cellular immune processes, such as sarcoidosis. Spontaneous gamma interferon production was related to increased serum concentrations of IgG and IgM but not to serum IgA, antinuclear antibody, or rheumatoid factor titres. There was no relation between gamma interferon production and pulmonary uptake of gallium-67 citrate. The ratio of helper-inducer (Leu-3) to suppressor-cytotoxic (Leu-2) cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was similar in the two study groups and was similar in patients whose cells produced gamma interferon and those whose cells did not. These data suggest that gamma interferon is released in the lungs of a proportion of individuals with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and CTD-fibrosing alveolitis, suggesting a role for this cytokine in mediating these diseases.

The dentino-enamel junction: a structural and microanalytical study of early mineralization.

The spatial localization of enamel and dentin apatite crystals of the rat tooth has been studied by electron microscopic methods--bright field, selected-area dark field, and electron spectroscopic imaging. The sequential events of dentin calcification followed by the formation and growth of enamel crystals were determined and compared to previous studies. In dentin, initial sites of mineral deposition occur in areas subjacent to the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ). The subsequent expansion of these deposits progresses towards the DEJ to the terminal ends of dentin collagen fibrils. Concomitantly, an electron-dense enamel matrix is released by ameloblasts; with the presence of this matrix, the growth of enamel crystals occurs from the underlying calcified dentin. Enamel crystal growth continues to within close proximity of the plasma membrane of ameloblasts. A close spatial relationship between enamel and the crystals of calcified dentin collagen fibrils was observed by selected-area dark field imaging. Such areas of crystal intimacy show a co-localization of calcium and phosphorus extending from calcified collagen fibrils to enamel sheaths which encase enamel crystals. A working model of the spatial relationship between crystals of dentin and enamel is presented and discussed in light of mechanisms by which calcified dentin may promote the formation of enamel crystals.

Indomethacin augments lymphokine-activated killer cell generation by patients with malignant mesothelioma.

Human malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells are resistant to natural killer (NK) cell lysis but susceptible to lysis by lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells from control individuals. The present study was performed to determine the capacity of patients with MM (n = 22) and individuals occupationally exposed to asbestos (the major population at risk of developing this disease, n = 52) to generate LAK cells capable of effectively lysing human mesothelioma cells. Compared to controls (n = 20), both patient groups demonstrated significantly depressed LAK cell activity against mesothelioma tumor cell targets (55 +/- 3% lysis by controls vs 34 +/- 3% lysis by patients with MM, P less than 0.005; and 45 +/- 3% lysis by asbestos-exposed individuals, P less than 0.025). Addition of 10 micrograms/ml indomethacin during LAK cell generation restored normal LAK cell activity for patients with MM (52 +/- 6% lysis of cultured human MM cells, P = NS compared to controls), suggesting that the defective cytolytic cell function observed in some patients with MM is a result of prostaglandin-induced immunosuppression. The ability of indomethacin to restore suppressed LAK cell activity in patients with MM suggests that the concomitant use of this agent in ex vivo LAK cell generation and in patients undergoing interleukin/LAK cell therapy may be beneficial.
