DNA-measurements were performed with a scanning-microspectrophotometer on tumor tissue imprints and tumor cell suspensions and were also carried out with a flow-through cytophotometer ICP on suspensions. DNA-histograms were plotted on days 4, 7, 12, 18, 20, 22, 26 and 29 after the transplantation. These revealed a constant position of the maxima at 2C for normal cells and at 4C and 8C for the tumor cells. In particular, by measuring a large total number of 4,968,000 nuclei with the ICP, distinct changes were found in the proportion of the single nuclei classes during growth and spontaneous regression. This technique also enables a quantitative measurement to be made of the DNA of cell debris from necrosis. With growing tumos, the proportion of the tumor cells increased to a maximum of 65% on day 18 and decreased to 37% on day 29. The DNA of cell debris grew from 8% to 47%. The proportion of normal cells was only 10% to 15% in the final phases. In tumors with a spontaneous regression the proportion of the tumor cell nuclei was 20% on day 18 and 11% on day 29. The proportion of the DNA of cell debris was again about 45%. The proportion of normal nuclei was greatly increased to 45%. Histological and cytological evidence together with measurements of the areas of nuclei and incorporation of 3H-TdR confirmed that the normal cells, the number of which increased during spontaneous regression were cells of a fibrovascular granulation tissue.

In the epidermis, two such tissue-specific factors (which also have cell-cycle specificity) have been found. These factors act specifically on different phases of the cell cycle (epidermal G1 and G2 chalones, respectively). This paper concerns a study of the effect of 20-methylcholanthrene on the epidermal G1 chalone. The variations in epidermal G2 inhibitor after such treatment were described in a previous paper. Hairless mice received a single topical application of 0.2 ml 0.5% solution of the carcinogen. The short time effect of the carcinogen application on epidermal DNA synthesis was first studied. Other groups of carcinogen-treated mice were then killed at similar time intervals, and the treated area of skin was homogenized and extracted with water. The inhibitory effect of these extracts on normal epidermal G1 cells was assayed in normal hairless mice. The obtained inhibition was registered as an expression of G1 inhibitor concentration in the skin extracts. The first experiment confirmed that a single carcinogen application provokes a short block in epidermal DNA synthesis, followed by a high, biomodal peak of increased activity with the first and maximum peak on day 2, and a smaller peak on day 8 after treatment. The second experiment showed that the content of G1 chalone in the skins of treated animals varied inversely to the alterations in epidermal DNA synthesis, revealing almost no chalone activity on day 2, and reduced chalone activity on day 8.</p>","PeriodicalId":75583,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Pathologie","volume":"158 2","pages":"145-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11355171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten of the patients were female, two were male. The mean age of the patients was 65 years, and the mean lifetime after operation was as short as five months. The purpose of this study was to obtain further information on the significance of metaplastic mucosal islands in the histogenesis of gallbladder carcinomas by investigating incipient carcinomas and the conditions of the adjacent mucosa. The investigation revealed goblet cells and enterochromaffin cells outside the tumour in four specimens, antral-type glands in ten specimens, gastric-type superficial epithelial islands in all twelve specimens. In eight cases there was an antral-type mucosal island outside the tumour. In six specimens the tumour was found to border on antral-type mucosa. The structure of the tumour was papillary in ten cases, and mucinous in two. The tumorous epithelium showed in all specimens focal intestinal-type areas. Six tumours displayed goblet cells, and enterochromaffin cells were present in four tumours. The two mucinous tumours seemed to have originated in the glands of the antral-type mucosa extending toward the serosal surface of the gallbladder wall.

One of the earliest observable cell changes is a so-called \"Kernwandhyperchromatosis\" and chromatin condensation within the nuclei, whereby the Kernwandhyperchromatosis is seen to be a direct consequence of the increase in lactate and decrease of pH. ATP-sufficiency causes a disturbed function of mitochondrial membranes. The microchondria are swollen, the number of mitochondrial grana is clearly reduced. An enlargement of the mitochondrial outer membrane takes place by folding while the surface of mitochondrial cristae remains unchanged. As a consequence of the altered membrane activities also the peroxisomes swell at reduced numerial density. At unchanged total volume of RER the surface of the granulated membranes of the RER decrease by 50%. This decrease caused by ribosome detachment of the granulated membranes corresponds to the enlargement of the degranulated membrane parts of the nedoplasmic reticulum. The vesiculation is caused by an unspecific damage of cytoplasm. While the density of its volume and the membrane surface remain unaltered, the SER also shows a tendency to small vesiculation caused by an unspecific damage of cytoplasm. The increase in number and volume of the lysosomes and vacuoles of unknown origin speaks for a lysosomal activity. The cell compartment responsible for protein synthesis shows the most impressive morphometric and morphologic changes, which eventually can be explained by a decrease of protein synthesis which is needed to obtain enough energy for a well operating physiological equilibrium.</p>","PeriodicalId":75583,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Pathologie","volume":"157 4","pages":"391-411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12145193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
