CA 125 secretion by peritoneal mesothelial cells.
AIMS To investigate the secretion of the tumour marker CA 125 by cultured human mesothelial cells; to determine if secretion of CA 125 could be observed by activating the mesothelial monolayers with different cytokines. METHODS Mesothelial cells were isolated from human omentum and cultured to confluent monolayers on perforated polycarbonate membranes (pore size 0.4 micron). The mesothelial m...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of dying tumor cells by human peritoneal mesothelial cells.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is an advanced form of metastatic disease characterized by cancer cell dissemination onto the peritoneum. It is commonly observed in ovarian and colorectal cancers and is associated with poor patient survival. Novel therapies consist of cytoreductive surgery in combination with intraperitoneal chemotherapy, aiming at tumor cell death induction. The resulting dying tumo...
متن کاملSerum and Peritoneal Fluid CA 125 Levels Infertile Women with Pelvic Endometriosis in Urummia
SUMMARY Infertility has a special importance in gynecology in causing social, psychological and somatic prohlems. Endometriosis is a benign but progressive disorder in reproductive life and is more common in infertile women. CA 125 is a cell membrane glycoprotein. The endometrium is one the known source of this antigen and seems to be elevated in the pelvic endometriosis. In this study, from...
متن کاملHuman peritoneal mesothelial cells produce nitric oxide: induction by cytokines.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the induction of nitric oxide synthase type II (iNOS) in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) using cytokines and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). DESIGN Confluent monolayers of HPMC were exposed to cytokines [tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), interferon gamma (IFNgamma)] or LPS, individually or in various double and triple...
متن کاملIs plasticizer toxic to peritoneal mesothelial cells?
The plasticizer di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) used in peritoneal dialysate bags is known to dissolve into the solution, even though the quantity is small. Long-term exposure of the peritoneum to DEHP could be a cause of peritoneal deterioration. Although some papers have been published about DEHP toxicity to the peritoneum, acute DEHP toxicity is not fully understood to date. We therefore co...
