Tracking prostate carcinoma micrometastasis to multiple organs using histochemical marker genes and novel cell systems.
Studies of human prostate carcinoma (PCA) have been hampered by only a few cell systems from already-metastatic human disease. We have developed a novel cell system by using tissue cultured CWR22R cells from a xenograft of a primary tumor from a human patient. These cells were transfected with the bacterial lacZ gene to maximize their detection during progression and metastasis in nude mice. LZ...
متن کاملDetection of hematogenous micrometastasis in patients with prostate cancer.
The goal of this study was to determine if patients with stage D0-3 prostatic adenocarcinoma have detectable hematogenous micrometastasis. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of prostate-specific antigen mRNA, which is exclusively expressed by prostatic epithelial cells, was used to detect circulating prostatic cells. Peripheral venous blood was obtained from 17 control and 12 prostate canc...
متن کاملGFP-tagged E. coli shows bacterial distribution in mouse organs: pathogen tracking using fluorescence signal
PURPOSE In vaccine efficacy evaluation, visualization of pathogens in whole organism at each time point would be able to reduce the consuming animals and provide the in vivo information within consistent background with identical organism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using IVIS spectrum whole live-animal imaging system, fluorescent intensity was optimized and visualized proportionately by concentra...
متن کاملMast Cell Leukemia with Ascites and Multiple Organs Damage
Mast Cell Leukemia (MCL), a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis is defined by bone marrow involvement as atypical and aleukemic mast cells, if more than 20% and less than 10% of peripheral WBCs are mast cells, respectively. We met a case of aleukemic MCL presenting with anemia and ascites for 2 years, referred for BM evaluation, suspicious of leukemia. Our findings included BM involveme...
متن کاملIntraglomerular micrometastasis of squamous cell carcinoma
Intraglomerular metastasis is a rare manifestation of disseminated malignancies. We present here a case of intraglomerular metastatic carcinoma diagnosed as an incidental finding on a kidney biopsy in a 62-year-old male presenting with acute renal failure and metastatic penile squamous cell carcinoma. A proliferative lesion composed of highly atypical epithelial cells was found within a capilla...
