[Complications of arterial infusion of CDDP in the treatment of malignant neoplasms].

Arterial infusion of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) is an effective therapy for malignant neoplasms. Severe complications after this therapy in 298 patients with malignant tumors were reviewed in our institute from March 1982 to August 1989. Arteries infused with CDDP and the number of infusions were as follows: bronchial artery (a.) 277, hepatic a. 153, internal iliac a. 51, femoral or popliteal a. 15, lumbar a. 6, pulmonary a. 5, esophageal a. 3 and intercostal a. 3. Eight cases of severe complications were encountered: 3 of esophageal ulcer, 3 of spinal paralysis, and one each of mediastinitis and toe necrosis. The arteries responsible for complications were the bronchial a. in 3 cases of esophageal ulcer and 2 of spinal paralysis, intercostal a. in one of spinal paralysis, esophageal a. in one of mediastinitis and popliteal a. in toe necrosis. Complication rates were 2.7% (8/298 cases) and 1.5% (8/518 infusions). Angiotensin II was infused in 6 of 8 of the cases with complications. The complication rate was 2.9% (6/209 infusions) in the group with CDDP and angiotensin II and 0.6% (2/309 infusions) in the group with CDDP only. Arterial infusion of CDDP, especially combined with angiotensin II, should be done in consideration of the arteries responsible for such complications.

Metal-inducible activities of metallothionein promoters in fish cells and fry.

Activities of trout metallothionein-A promoter and mouse metallothionein-I promoter in fish cells and fry were examined using the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene as a reporter. Transfection and transient CAT assays on a trout liver cell line indicated that both promoters were inducible by metals, including zinc. In vivo activities of both promoters were examined using microinjection system into medaka eggs. Some of the hatched fry were exposed to zinc and their CAT activities were assayed. Both promoters revealed considerable activities after exposure to zinc while only weak activities were detected in unexposed fry.

[Liver abscess formation after treatment of liver cancer by arterial injection using adriamycin/mitomycin C oil suspension (ADMOS)].

Of 210 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 135), metastatic liver cancer (n = 71) and cholangiocarcinoma (n = 4) who underwent intra-arterial infusion of adriamycin and/or mitomycin C oil suspension (ADMOS) and cisplatin, and both regimens, pyogenic liver abscess occurred in seven (3.3%). The percentages of abscess formation in the respective types of liver cancer were 0.8, 7.0 and 25%. These differences among the three types of liver cancer were attributed to the volume of the tumor vascular beds to be embolized, which might determine the relative amount or regional Lipiodol retention in the tumor and normal liver tissue. Four of seven patients with hepatic abscess had received the intra-arterial infusion of ADMOS, and their angiographic findings showed sequential decreases in the vascular beds of the tumor in comparison with those of previous infusion procedures; all had hypovascular liver tumors angiographically. We have never experienced this complication in other treatments such as embolization of the hepatic arteries and intra-arterial infusion of water-soluble anticancer drugs alone. These results suggest that the most important factor leading to abscess formation is the ischemic destruction of the intrahepatic ducts secondary to occlusion of the peribiliary arterial plexus by Lipiodol and/or the direct effects of anticancer drugs on these vessels. To avoid this complication, the volume of Lipiodol used for intraarterial infusion therapy should be carefully determined, especially when the patient has hypovascular tumors of the liver and a history of multiple previous intraarterial infusion procedures of anticancer drug. The use of ADMOS should be avoided in patients with hypovascular tumors of the liver such as secondary deposits and cholangiocarcinoma.

Characterization of two novel pyruvylated glycosphingolipids containing 2'-aminoethylphosphoryl(-->6)-galactose from the nervous system of Aplysia kurodai.

Two novel acidic glycosphingolipids containing pyruvylated galactose were purified from the nervous tissue of Aplysia kurodai by successive Iatrobeads column chromatographies. By component analysis, sugar analysis, permethylation studies, fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry, and proton magnetic resonance spectrometry, the structures of these acidic glycosphingolipids, named F-9 and FGL-I, were determined to be: [3,4-O-(S-1-carboxyethylidene)]Gal beta 1-->3 GalNAc alpha 1-->3[6'-O-(2-aminoethylphosphonyl)Gal alpha 1-->2] (2-aminoethylphosphoryl 1-->6)Gal beta 1-->4Glc beta 1-->1ceramide and [3,4-O-(S-1-carboxyethylidene)] Gal beta 1-->3GalNAc alpha 1-->3(Fuc alpha 1-->2)(2-aminoethylphosphonyl-->6 Gal beta 1-->4Glc beta 1-->1ceramide, octadeca-4-sphingenine and anteisononadeca-4-sphingenine. Thus, pyruvylated glycosphingolipids containing phosphoethanolamine in addition to or in place of 2-aminoethylphosphonate are present in the nervous system of Aplysia.

Differential expression of subspecies of polyomavirus and murine leukemia virus enhancer core binding protein, PEBP2, in various hematopoietic cells.

The core sequence of the enhancer of murine leukemia virus (MuLV) long terminal repeat is highly conserved in a large number of MuLV strains and appears to play an essential role when SL3-3 or Moloney strains induce T cell lymphoma in mice. We found by using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay that a polyomavirus enhancer core-binding protein, PEBP2, bound to this core motif of MuLV. We also noted that PEBP2 in several hematopoietic cell lines derived from B lymphocyte, macrophage and myelocyte lineages migrated significantly faster than the authentic PEBP2 detected in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Interestingly, PEBP2 detected in the cell lines of T lymphocyte lineage appeared to contain both types, which were indistinguishable in electrophoretic mobility from those of NIH3T3 and of B lymphocyte, macrophage and myelocyte lineages. The treatment of the nuclear extract containing PEBP2 with phosphatase generated PEBP3, which is a subcomponent of PEBP2 and retained the same DNA-binding specificity as PEBP2. The altered mobility of hematopoietic cell-derived or T lymphocyte-derived PEBP2 was found to be due to the alteration of the mobility of PEBP3. Based on the distinct mobility of PEBP2/3 of T lymphocytes from those of other hematopoietic cells, we discuss the implication of PEBP2 in MuLV-induced T cell leukemia and T cell-specific gene expression.

Detection of p53 gene mutations in human ovarian and endometrial cancers by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis.

The presence of mutations in the p53 gene was examined in ovarian cancers by a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. The primers were designed to amplify exons 5 through 9 that contain phylogenetically conserved domains of the p53 gene. Mutations were detected in 5 out of 10 cases, one of which contained a deletion in the second allele. A single base substitution was detected in 4 cases at codons 162, 175, 205 and 273 and a single base insertion in one case within codon 315. A high frequency of p53 mutations in ovarian cancers and lack of mutation in 6 benign ovarian tumors and 2 normal ovaries suggested that the mutation of the p53 gene was associated with the genesis and/or progression of ovarian cancer. In 1 of 7 endometrial cancers, two mutations at codons 239 and 254 were detected.

Properties of nine continuous B-cell lines established from enzootic bovine leukosis tumors.

We established 9 cell lines from 63 tumor cases of enzootic bovine leukosis and studied their properties. Cells of all lines formed small clumps and floated in culture medium, indicating growth. Four of the 9 cell lines were surface immunoglobulin (SIg)-positive, but the remaining 5 line cells were negative for SIg or, if SIg was detected, the percentage of SIg-positive cells was very low. Tests for the properties of the cells with monoclonal antibodies to lymphocytes revealed that the established line cells are B-lymphocytes. Morphological observation also revealed that they had the morphology of B-lymphoblastic cell. The results of E and EAC rosette assay were negative, but 6 of 8 cell lines were positive for EA rosetting. All the 9 cell lines reacted with MoAb C-143, which recognizes the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) of the EBL tumor cell. All 9 cell lines produced bovine leukosis virus (BLV). These results suggest that the 9 cell lines are tumor cells derived from B-lymphocytes of EBL.

[Brain-gut interactions in irritable bowel syndrome: physiological and psychological aspect].

Recent advances in the investigation of brain-gut interaction in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were reviewed. Brain is suggested to play an important role in the pathophysiology of IBS on the basis of the following evidence. (1) Stress often induces major symptoms of IBS patients (Drossman et al., 1982), simultaneously with colonic hypermotility (Fukudo et al., 1987) or dysmotility of the small intestine (Kumar et al., 1985). (2) IBS patients rarely express symptoms or small intestinal dysmotility during sleep (Kellow et al., 1990). (3) IBS patients complain of more pain with balloon distension of the colon or rectum than normal controls; visceral perception is enhanced in IBS (Whitehead et al., 1990). (4) IBS patients often show psychoneurotic symptoms and extra-colonic somatic symptoms (Young et al., 1976). (5) There are some animal (Williams et al, 1987) or human (Dinan et al, 1990) experiments which indicate the possible involvement of brain peptide or brain monoamine in IBS. (6) Dysrhythmia or increased beta power in electroencephalogram is observed more often in IBS patients than in the normal controls (Fukudo et al, 1991) in addition to abnormal REM sleep in IBS patients (Kumar et al., 1992). These observations support our hypothesis that not only the gut but also the brain show dysfunction and exaggerated responsivity to the stimuli in IBS. Further research on brain-gut interaction in IBS is warranted.

[Anticancer effect and side effect of arterial chemoembolization using cis-diamine-dichloroplatinum (II)/4-0-tetrahydropyranyl-adriamycin-lipiodol (CTL) suspension on hepatocellular carcinoma].

Seventeen patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were treated by intraarterial injection of CTL suspension. The doses of CTL suspension, CDDP and THP(mean +/- SD)/injection were 4.1 +/- 1.6 ml, 81.9 +/- 31.6 mg and 13.5 +/- 5.2 mg, respectively. The therapy was given once in 10 patients, twice in 6 and 4 times in one. Over 50 per cent reduction in tumor size was obtained in 5 patients (30%). Fifty or more % decrease in serum alpha-feto-protein (AFP) levels was observed in 3 of 7 patients (43%) with the initial serum AFP level of more than 200 ng/ml, Fever, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting were noted in most cases. However, they disappeared within 2 weeks after therapy was completed. No severe complications were encountered except one case of a liver abscess which healed by administration of antibiotics. No severe changes in laboratory data were observed. This study suggests that a new method of intraarterial injection must be developed to enhance the therapeutic effect even more, in addition to an increased injection dose of CDDP/THP-LPD and higher concentration of CDDP and THP in LPD.

The nuclear protooncogenes c-jun and c-fos as regulators of DNA replication.

Polyomavirus (Py) DNA replication is regulated by its enhancer, which contains an AP1 site, c-Jun and c-Fos, the products of nuclear protooncogenes c-jun and c-fos, form the heterodimeric transcriptional activating factor AP1. Overexpression of c-fos and c-jun genes strongly stimulated Py DNA replication from the Py origin of replication as well as transcription from the Py early promoter through the AP1 binding site. The cAMP response element (CRE)-binding protein CREB stimulated only transcription, not DNA replication, through the CRE under similar conditions. The results indicate that AP1 functions as a regulator of DNA replication and that the mechanism of activation of Py DNA replication by AP1 is distinct from that of activation of transcription from the Py early promoter.

[Kinetic estimation of infused Lipiodol within a hepatoma using a CT dynamic study].

Distribution of Lipiodol within hepatic tumor was evaluated using serial computed tomography. Imagistic Lipiodol transition into the tumor via hepatic artery was slower than that of water soluble contrast medium, spreading to central part first and turn to peripheral part of the tumor. This method was thought to be useful to clarify Lipiodol distribution in hepatic tumor and to decide the method or necessity of additional trans-arterial therapy.

A monoclonal antibody to scopolamine and its use for competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

A hybridoma clone producing a monoclonal antibody (SC78.H81) against scopolamine was established. The monoclonal antibody was an IgG1 (k) antibody with high affinity (1.6 x 10(9) M-1 for methylscopolamine). The monoclonal antibody was cross-reactive with methylscopolamine and butylscopolamine, and showed weak cross-reactivity with 6 beta- and 7 beta-hydroxyhyoscyamine. The cross-reaction with L-hyoscyamine, atropine, scopine and DL-tropic acid was very weak. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using SC78.H81 was established to quantify scopolamine. The sensitivity of the assay allowed detection of 20 pg assay-1 (0.2 ng ml-1) of scopolamine. The assay was applied to the estimation of scopolamine content in hairy root cultures of a Duboisia hybrid.

Effect of neocarzinostatin on microtubules.

Effect of Neocarzinostatin (NCS) on microtubules was examined both in vitro and in vivo. Although NCS had no effect on microtubule assembly in vitro nor dissociated cytoplasmic microtubular network in vivo, microtubular network appeared to be changed to coarse form in NCS-treated 3T3 and HeLa cells. Effect of NCS on microtubules was discussed in comparison with colchicine.
