Opis:
A pilot study on relationships of selected molecular factors (c-myc oncogene average gene copy numbers (AGCN); serum CEA and CA 15.3 antigen levels; tumor cells' DNA values), to the ex vivo chemosensitivity of primary female human breast cancer in a modified adenosine triphosphate cell viability chemosensitivity assay (ATP-CVA), was performed. Four drug combinations were tested. A group of 75 cases of female primary breast cancer was assessed. Numerous correlations were found among molecular factors tested but none, with the exception of tumor grading, of these reflected ex vivo chemosensitivity of tumors tested. The results suggest that the parameters tested may not be important factors related to adjuvant chemoresponsiveness of primary human breast cancer to tested drug combinations.

A pilot study on relationships of selected molecular factors [erbB-1, erbB-2, erbB-3, and c-myc oncogene average gene copy numbers (AGCN); steroid receptors and pS2 gene expression; tumor cells' DNA values] to the ex vivo chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer in a modified adenosine triphosphate cell viability chemosensitivity assay (ATP-CVA), was performed. Despite the relatively small number of patients, numerous correlations among the factors tested were found. Nevertheless, only c-myc gene dosage positively affected ex vivo chemosensitivity of tumors tested.

Opis:
This article reviews the evidence for the danger model in the context of immune response to tumors and the insufficiency of the immune system to eliminate tumor growth. Despite their potential immunogenicity tumors do not induce significant immune responses which could destroy malignant cells. According to the danger model, the immune surveillance system fails to detect tumor antigens because transformed cells do not send any danger signals which could activate dendritic cells and initiate an immune response. Instead, tumor cells or antigen presenting cells turn off the responding T cells and induce tolerance. The studies reviewed herein based on model tumor antigens, recombinant viral vectors and detection of tumor specific T cells by MHC/peptide tetramers underscore the critical role of tumor antigen presentation and the context in which it occurs. They indicate that antigen presentation only by activated but not by cancer or resting dendritic cells is necessary for the induction of immune responses to tumor antigens. It becomes apparent that the inability of dendritic cells to become activated provides a biological niche for tumor escape from immune destruction and seems to be a principal mechanism for the failure of tumor immune surveillance.

Opis:
The ability of various cytokines to hamper tumor growth or to induce anti-tumor immune response has resulted in their study as antitumor agents in gene therapy approaches. In this review we will concentrate on the costimulation of antitumor immune responses using modification of various cell types by cytokine genes. Several strategies have emerged such as (i) modification of tumor cells with cytokine genes ex vivo (whole tumor cell vaccines), (ii) ex vivo modification of other cell types for cytokine gene delivery, (iii) delivery of cytokine genes into tumor microenvironment in vivo, (iv) modification of dendritic cells with cytokine genes ex vivo. Originally single cytokine genes were used. Subsequently, multiple cytokine genes were applied simultaneously, or in combination with other factors such as chemokines, membrane bound co-stimulatory molecules, or tumor associated antigens. In this review we discuss these strategies and their use in cancer treatment as well as the promises and limitations of cytokine based cancer gene therapy. Clinical trials, including our own experience, employing the above strategies are discussed.

Opis:
The effect of sulforaphane on human lymphoblastoid cells originating from a patient of a high cancer risk was studied. Sulforaphane (SFN) is a naturally occurring substance of chemopreventive activity. In our study, changes in cell growth, induction of apoptosis and phase 2 enzymes as well as glutathione level were examined. Apoptosis was tested by confocal microscopy at three stages: change in mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase activation and phosphatidylserine externalization. We show that SFN increases the activity of the detoxification system: it increases quinone reductase activity at low concentration (0.5-1 μM) and raises glutathione level in a dose-dependent manner. At higher doses (2.5-10 μM) sulforaphane is a cell growth modulator, as it caused cell growth cessation (IC50 = 3.875 μM), and apoptosis inducer. The results obtained suggest that sulforaphane acts as a chemopreventive agent in human lymphoblastoid cells.

Opis:
Purpose. Topotecan, a semisynthetic water-soluble derivative of camptothecin exerts its cytotoxic effect by inhibiting topoisomerase I and causes double-strand DNA breaks which inhibit DNA function and ultimately lead to cell death. In previous studies it was shown that camptothecin causes ROS formation. The aim of this study was to investigate if Topotecan like camptotecin causes oxidative stress in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line. Determining the oxidant effect of Topotecan may elucidate a possible alternative mechanism for its cytotoxicity. Experimental design. MCF-7 cells were cultured and exposed to Topotecan for 24 h at 37°C. The viability of the cells (% of control) was measured using the colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Lipid peroxidation (TBARS), protein oxidation (carbonyl content), sulfhydryl, glutathione (GSH) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities were determined in MCF-7 cells with and without Topotecan incubation. Results. We found the IC50 concentration of Topotecan as 0.218 µM in MCF-7 cells. This concentration of Topotecan was used in the incubations of the cells. Our data indicated increased oxidative status, as revealed by increased lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, and decreased GSH and sulfhydryl levels in MCF-7 cells exposed to Topotecan compared to control cells. In contrast, there was a slight increase in SOD and a significant increase in GPx and catalase activity in MCF-7 cells incubated with Topotecan compared to the control. Conclusions. These results support our hypothesis that Topotecan increases oxidative stress in MCF-7 cells.

Opis:
Although approved for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, the chemotherapeutic agent ifosfamide is not an effective therapy for this type of tumour. Ifosfamide must be activated by cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in the liver, initially to a short lived intermediate and then to toxic metabolites that are subsequently distributed by the circulatory system. Particularly for pancreatic cancer, this liver-mediated conversion results in relatively high systemic toxicities and poor therapeutic concentrations at the liver-distant site of the tumour. Activation of ifosfamide at the site of the tumour may allow lower doses to be used, while increasing the therapeutic index due to the resultant active concentrations generated locally. A cell-based therapy has been conceived where encapsulated, 293-derived cells genetically modified to overexpress a cytochrome P450 enzyme, are implanted near solid tumours. The cells are encapsulated in polymers of cellulose sulphate in order to provide a means of immunoprotection in vivo as well as to physically constrain them to the vicinity of the tumour. A major advantage of this strategy is that it allows one standard cell line to be applied to all patients and this approach can be extended to the treatment of other tumour types. After proof of principle studies in animal models, a phase I/II clinical trial was initiated in patients with stage III/IV nonresectable pancreatic cancer. Encapsulated cells were angiographically placed into the tumour vasculature of 14 patients and followed by systemic low dose ifosfamide treatment. Angiographic delivery of encapsulated cells proved feasible in all but one patient, and was well tolerated with no capsule or ifosfamide treatment-related adverse events. Four of the treated patients showed tumour regressions after capsule delivery and ifosfamide treatment in computer-tomography scans. The other 10 patients showed no further tumour growth (i.e. stable disease) during 20 weeks observation period. The median life expectancy of the patient collective was extended two fold as compared to age and status matched historical controls, with a 3-fold improvement in one year survival being attained. Evidence for a clinical benefit of the treatment was also obtained on the basis of standard parameters for quality of life. This approach has been evaluated by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) and orphan drug status has been granted. A pivotal clinical trial is now being planned with the help of the EMEA. Taken together, the data from this clinical trial suggest that encapsulated cytochrome P450-expressing cells combined with chemotherapy may be useful for the local treatment of a number of solid tumours and support the performance of further clinical studies of this new treatment.

Opis:
Cancer stem cells are a small subset of cancer cells constituting a reservoir of self-sustaining cells with the exclusive ability to self-renew and maintain the tumor. These cells are identified by specific stem cell markers: antigens, molecules and signaling pathways. Transcription factors and molecules associated with oncogenesis, such as NF-κB, Bmi-1, Notch, WNT beta-catenin, Sonic hedgehog and their biochemical pathways, active only in a small minority of cancer cells might play key roles in determining the biology and the overall long-term behavior of a tumor. The molecules and pathways specific for cancer stem cells, which contribute to their drug resistance, are potential targets for new therapeutic strategies.

Opis:
In this study we evaluated efficiency of DNAzymes to modulate motility of cancer cells, an important factor in the progression and metastasis of cancers. For this purpose we targeted β1 integrins that are predominant adhesive receptors in various carcinoma cell lines (CX1.1, HT29, LOVO, LS180, PC-3). To evaluate invasiveness of cancer cells, we used a transwell migration assay that allowed analyzing chemotactic migration of colon carcinoma cell lines across an ECM-coated membrane. Their adhesive properties were also characterized by the analysis of adhesion to fibronectin, laminin and collagen. In addition, the expression of major integrin subunits, selected intact β1 integrins, and other adhesive receptors (ICAM, E-selectin, uPAR) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Inhibition of β1 integrin expression by DNAzyme to β1 mRNA almost abolished the invasiveness of the CX1.1, HT29, LS180, LOVO and PC-3 cells in vitro. These data show that DNAzymes to β1 integrin subunit can be used to inhibit invasiveness of carcinoma cells.

Opis:
Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in women, mostly due to high metastatic capacity of mammary carcinoma cells. It has been revealed recently that metastases of breast cancer comprise a fraction of specific stem-like cells, denoted as cancer stem cells (CSCs). Breast CSCs, expressing specific surface markers CD44+CD24-/lowESA+ usually disseminate in the bone marrow, being able to spread further and cause late metastases. The fundamental factor influencing the growth of CSCs is the microenvironment, especially the interaction of CSCs with extracellular matrix (ECM). The structure and function of ECM proteins, such as the dominating ECM protein collagen, is influenced not only by cancer cells but also by various cancer treatments. Since surgery, radio and chemotherapy are associated with oxidative stress we analyzed the growth of breast cancer CD44+CD24-/lowESA+ cell line SUM159 cultured on collagen matrix in vitro, using either native collagen or the one modified by hydroxyl radical. While native collagen supported the growth of CSCs, oxidatively modified one was not supportive. The SUM159 cell cultures were further exposed to a supraphysiological (35 µM) dose of the major bioactive lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), a well known as 'second messenger of free radicals', which has a strong affinity to bind to proteins and acts as a cytotoxic or as growth regulating signaling molecule. Native collagen, but not oxidised, abolished cytotoxicity of HNE, while oxidized collagen did not reduce cytotoxicity of HNE at all. These preliminary findings indicate that beside direct cytotoxic effects of anticancer therapies consequential oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation modify the microenvironment of CSCs influencing oxidative homeostasis that could additionally act against cancer.

Opis:
Selection of optimal treatment modality in a patient with cervical cancer depends on FIGO clinical stage. At stages IB2-IVA, the cornerstone of treatment is radiochemotherapy. As first step, patients undergo irradiation from external fields combined with chemotherapy (cisplatin, 40 mg/m2, QW). Brachytherapy is used as second-line treatment – an essential component thereof – enabling delivery of high dose of radiation to both genital organs and tumor. Quality of this treatment directly correlates with local control of the disease, long-term overall survival and quality of life of patients after completion of therapy. The paper presents current principles of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy in cervical cancer patients. Discussed are principles of two-dimensional (2D) planning, used to date in about 50% of brachytherapy centers worldwide, as well as three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR)-based planning. As availability of MR in ours and many other oncology centers is limited, a computed tomography-based modification of gynecologic recommendations GIN GEC ESTRO has been suggested. Therapeutic areas are defined: high-risk clinical target volume (HR CTV) and intermediate risk clinical target volume (IR CTV) which may be safely contoured based on clinical exam and CT study, when no MRI is available. Acceptable doses for critical organs are listed. Based on own experience, indications and limitations for use of intraparenchymal (interstitial) and intracavitary applications were developed.
Wybór metody leczenia chorych na raka szyjki macicy jest uzależniony od stopnia zaawansowania, ocenionego według klasyfikacji FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics). Zasadniczą metodą leczenia chorych na raka szyjki macicy w stopniach zaawansowania IB2-IVA jest radiochemioterapia. W pierwszym etapie przeprowadzane jest napromienianie z pól zewnętrznych wraz z chemioterapią z zastosowaniem cisplatyny w dawce 40 mg/m2, raz w tygodniu. W kolejnym etapie leczenia stosuje się brachyterapię. Brachyterapia jest istotną częścią leczenia, umożliwiającą podanie wysokiej dawki na narząd rodny wraz z guzem, a jakość tego leczenia ma wpływ na kontrolę miejscową nowotworu (LC), przeżycia odległe (OS), jak również na jakość życia chorych po zakończeniu terapii. W pracy przedstawiono zasady obowiązujące współcześnie podczas leczenia brachyterapią o wysokiej mocy dawki (high dose rate brachytherapy, HDR) u chorych na raka szyjki macicy. Opisano zasady planowania w systemie dwuwymiarowym (2D), stosowanym do dzisiaj mniej więcej w połowie ośrodków brachyterapii na świecie, oraz planowania w systemie trójwymiarowym (3D) na podstawie rezonansu magnetycznego (MR). Ponieważ dostępność MR w naszym i wielu ośrodkach onkologicznych jest utrudniona, zaproponowano modyfikację rekomendacji GIN (Gynaecological) GEC ESTRO dla potrzeb planowania, opierając się na tomografii komputerowej. Zdefiniowano obszary terapeutyczne: HR CTV (high-risk clinical target volume), IR CTV (intermediate risk clinical target volume), jakie można bezpiecznie konturować, opierając się na badaniu klinicznym i TK, przy braku MR. Opisano dopuszczalne dawki dla narządów krytycznych. Na podstawie własnych doświadczeń opracowano wskazania i ograniczenia w zastosowaniu aplikacji śródtkankowych i śródjamowych.

We solve the model using spectrally accurate approximations and compare its numerical solutions with laboratory data. The spectral accuracy allows to use low-dimensional matrices and vectors, which speeds up the computations of the numerical solutions and thus to estimate the parameter values for the model equations. Our numerical results demonstrate correlations between numerical data computed from the mathematical model and in vivo tumour growth rates from prostate cell lines.

Opis:
Pilocytic astrocytoma and glioblastoma are both primary glial tumours of the central nervous system with entirely different histological malignancy grades. One of their features is vascular proliferation, which in the case of glioblastoma is a hallmark of malignancy but not in the case of pilocytic astrocytoma. While vascular proliferations in both tumours usually differ in microscopic appearance, they may be quite difficult to discriminate in a sparse biopsy material and also in a pilocytic astrocytoma with increased proliferation index. Independent studies of glioblastoma have shed some light on the role of non-endothelial cells in tumour neoangiogenesis. These cells originate from neoplastic, nestin immunoreactive stem cells. Expression of this protein has been noticed in grade II-IV astrocytic tumours and in primary grade I glial tumours (e.g. pilocytic astrocytoma). The aim of this study was to assess nestin expression in tumour cells and in blood vessels of tumours at differing grades of malignancy, using immunohistochemical staining and confocal laser microscopy. In our material, nestin was expressed in the cytoplasm of most glioblastoma cells and isolated cells of pilocytic astocytoma.Cytoplasmic immunoexpression of nestin was also detected in cells lining single blood vessels and vascular proliferations. Results of this study suggest that nestin should not be used as the only marker used to differentiate malignant from benign vascular proliferation in CNS tumours.
Gwiaździak włosowatokomórkowy oraz glioblastoma są pierwotnymi nowotworami glejowymi o skrajnych stopniach złośliwości. Charakteryzują się występowaniem proliferacji naczyniowych, które w przypadku glioblastoma są oznaką złośliwości, ale nie stanowią złośliwości gwiaździaka pilocytarnego. Chociaż rozrosty naczyniowe w obu nowotworach różnią się zwykle obrazem mikroskopowym, to niekiedy trudno je od siebie odróżnić, szczególnie w skąpym materiale biopsyjnym, a także w przypadku gwiaździaków włosowatokomórkowych o podwyższonym indeksie proliferacyjnym. Niezależne badania glioblastoma wykazały udział nieendotelialnych komórek w tworzeniu nowych naczyń krwionośnych. Źródłem tychże komórek okazały się nowotworowe komórki macierzyste, których markerem jest nestyna. Ekspresję tego białka odnotowano w nowotworach astrocytarnych od II do IV stopnia złośliwości oraz w pierwotnych nowotworach glejowych o I stopniu złośliwości, gwiaździakach włosowatokomórkowych. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie obecności markera nestyny w komórkach i naczyniach krwionośnych nowotworów o skrajnych stopniach złośliwości, z wykorzystaniem barwień immunohistochemicznych i laserowej mikroskopii konfokalnej. W analizowanych przypadkach nestyna ulegała ekspresji w cytoplazmie większości komórek nowotworowych glioblastoma oraz w pojedynczych komórkach gwiaździaków włosowatokomórkowych. Cytoplazmatyczny odczyn nestyny stwierdzono również w komórkach wyściełających pojedyncze naczynia i rozrosty naczyniowe badanych nowotworów. Wyniki uzyskanych badań sugerują, że nestyna nie może być stosowana jako jedyny marker, wystarczający do określenia złośliwych lub łagodnych rozrostów naczyniowych w nowotworach OUN.

Opis:
Dendritic cells are heterogeneous population of the leukocytes and most potent APC in activation of naive T lymphocytes. Therefore the DCs generated in vitro are under research for their application in anti-tumor immunotherapy. The aim of the study was generation of the immature dendritic cells from peripheral blood monocytes collected from colorectal cancer patients and comparison of their ability to endocytosis, cytokine production and immunophenotype to DCs generated from healthy donors. Material and methods. 16 adenocarcinoma stage II patients were included in the study. Dendritic cells were generated in the presence of rhGM-CSF and IL-4. PBMC were isolated from the blood of patients and 16 healthy donors - control group. Immunophenotype, ability of endocytosis of Dextran- FITC as well as intracellular IL-12 expression of the generated dendritic cells was measured using flow cytometry. The cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IFN-γ) concentration in the supernatants of DCs culture was measured by ELISA. Results. The percentage of the immature dendritic cells and expression of CD206 and CD209 antigens was significantly higher in patients group (p <0.05 and p <0.001 respectively). Significantly (p <0.001) higher expression of the antigens which initiate the Th2 immune response (CD80-/CD86 + and B7-H2 + / CD209 +) was in the patients group. There were no differences in endocytosis ability and the cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IFN-γ) concentration between investigated groups. Conclusions. High immature markers expression on the generated dendritic cells together with identical endocytosis ability in patients group is advantageous in antitumor autologous cells immunotherapy planning. However there is one troubling fact - high expression of markers, which may induce tolerance to particular antigen. It seems to be more reasonable to use the autologous DCs in the antitumor immunotherapy, especially due to the incompatibility in allogenic cells in the context of HLA complex.

Opis:
Glioblastoma (GBM, WHO grade IV) is the most lethal type of brain tumours. Despite advances in radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgical techniques, this tumour is still associated with a median overall survival of approximately 1 year. Histopathological features of GBM include nuclear atypia, foci of palisading necrosis, microvascular proliferation and robust mitotic activity. Glioblastoma is one of the best vascularized tumours in humans and its proliferation is hallmarked by a distinct proliferative vascular component. Studies of glioblastoma’s vascularization have cast some light on the role of non-endothelial cells in tumour neoangiogenesis. A characteristic feature of protein CD133 is its rapid down-regulation during cell differentiation, which makes it a unique cell surface marker for identification of stem cells in brain tissue. CD133+ tumour cells are located mainly in perivascular niches. CD133 positive cells were also found in blood vessels wall. The aim of this study was to optimize immunohistochemical staining method to facilitate identification of cells recognized by anti-CD133 antibody in paraffin-embedded glioblastoma tissue sections. In this study, several pretreatments, detection systems, dilution of antibody and time incubation were used. Immunohistochemical staining method in which autoclave, a buffer pH 9.0 and LSAB+System-HRP were used gave the best result.
Najczęstszym i jednocześnie najgorzej rokującym nowotworem pochodzenia astrocytarnego jest glioblastoma (IV stopień złośliwości według Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia). Obraz mikroskopowy glioblastoma charakteryzuje się atypią komórkową, obecnością ognisk martwicy palisadowej oraz proliferacją drobnych naczyń. Wyróżniamy dwa typy glioblastoma: pierwotny i wtórny. Jedną z podstawowych cech histopatologicznych tego nowotworu jest obecność proliferacji naczyniowych. Proliferacje naczyń glioblastoma rozpoznawane są jako wielowarstwowe kłębki rozrośniętych i mitotycznie aktywnych komórek endotelialnych. Komórki macierzyste odgrywają znaczącą rolę w tworzeniu sieci naczyń krwionośnych nowotworu za sprawą różnicowania w kierunku komórek endotelialnych. Za marker nowotworowych komórek macierzystych uważa się antygen CD133. Komórki nowotworu wykazujące ekspresję tego białka rozpoznawanego przez odpowiednie przeciwciała zlokalizowane są w niszach otaczających naczynia krwionośne występujące w masie nowotworu. Komórki CD133+ występują również w ścianach naczyń krwionośnych. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było opracowanie optymalnej immunohistochemicznej metody barwienia, z wykorzystaniem przeciwciała przeciw CD133, która ułatwi identyfikację komórek macierzystych. Materiał do badań stanowiły preparaty histopatologiczne pobrane do rutynowych badań histopatologicznych w czasie zabiegu operacyjnego z wcześniej rozpoznanymi przypadkami glioblastoma. Badania obejmowały różne metody barwień immunohistochemicznych z wykorzystaniem zróżnicowanych sposobów odmaskowywania antygenów, z zastosowaniem odmiennych buforów, systemów detekcyjnych oraz rozcieńczeń przeciwciała i czasów inkubacji preparatów z przeciwciałem. Najlepsze wyniki barwienia immunohistochemicznego otrzymano w preparatach, w których w celu odmaskowywania antygenu zastosowano autoklaw, bufor o pH 9,0 i system detekcyjny LSAB+System-HRP.
