Haloacetonitriles: metabolism, genotoxicity, and tumor-initiating activity.
Haloacetonitriles (HAN) are drinking water contaminants produced during chlorine disinfection. This paper evaluates metabolism, genotoxicity, and tumor-initiating activity of these chemicals. The alkylating potential of the HAN to react with the electrophile-trapping agent, 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine, followed the order dibromoacetonitrile (DBAN) greater than bromochloroacetonitrile (BCAN) great...
متن کاملMelanoma: Genetic Abnormalities, Tumor Progression, Clonal Evolution and Tumor Initiating Cells
Melanoma is an aggressive neoplasia issued from the malignant transformation of melanocytes, the pigment-generating cells of the skin. It is responsible for about 75% of deaths due to skin cancers. Melanoma is a phenotypically and molecularly heterogeneous disease: cutaneous, uveal, acral, and mucosal melanomas have different clinical courses, are associated with different mutational profiles, ...
متن کاملEscape of metastasizing clonal tumor cell variants from tumor-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes
A metastasizing variant of a chemically induced lymphoma from a DBA/2 mouse is shown to carry a distinct tumor-associated transplantation antigen (TATA), which can be recognized by syngeneic secondary anti-tumor cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). During metastasis of twice-cloned cell lines of this tumor, variants develop that are specifically immunoresistant to lysis by anti-tumor CTL. The variant...
متن کاملAnalysis of Marker-Defined HNSCC Subpopulations Reveals a Dynamic Regulation of Tumor Initiating Properties
Head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors carry dismal long-term prognosis and the role of tumor initiating cells (TICs) in this cancer is unclear. We investigated in HNSCC xenografts whether specific tumor subpopulations contributed to tumor growth. We used a CFSE-based label retentions assay, CD49f (α6-integrin) surface levels and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity to profile HNSCC ...
متن کاملMutagenicity, tumor-initiating activity, and metabolism of methylphenanthrenes.
The mutagenicity, in vitro metabolism, and tumor-initiating activity of methylphenanthrenes were evaluated. The only monomethyl isomers which were mutagenic toward Salmonella typhimurium were 1- and 9-methylphenanthrenes. Among the disubstituted phenanthrenes assayed for mutagenicity, only 1,4-dimethylphenanthrene was active in the presence of metabolic activation. Studies on the in vitro metab...
