Cellular heterogeneity in normal and neoplastic human urothelium.
Cell suspensions derived from 2 specimens of normal human urothelium and 13 human transitional cell carcinomas were studied by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation. The histochemical and proliferative properties of the fractions were evaluated. In normal urothelium, DNA synthesis was restricted to a subpopulation of small round cells which could be partly separated from the more numero...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of uroplakin localization in human normal urothelium, papilloma and papillary carcinoma
BACKGROUND Uroplakins are differentiation-related membrane proteins of urothelium. We compared uroplakin expression and ultrastructural localization in human normal urothelium, papilloma and papillary carcinoma. Because of high recurrence rate of these tumours, treated by transurethral resection, we investigated urothelial tumour, resection border and uninvolved urothelium. PATIENTS AND METHO...
متن کاملInterleukin 6 gene expression in normal and neoplastic B cells.
In the present report we demonstrate that the IL-6 gene is expressed in anti-Ig-activated and neoplastic B cells. After activation with anti-Ig, splenic B cells rapidly expressed IL-6 mRNA with peak expression occurring at 4 h and declining rapidly thereafter. In an attempt to exclude that the IL-6 mRNA expression was in non-B cells, T cells and monocytes were extensively depleted. In this high...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of mucin gene expression in normal and neoplastic tissues.
To determine the relative expression of distinct mucin genes in normal and neoplastic tissue, antibodies and cDNA probes that recognize the core tandem repeat sequences of membrane-bound (MUC1) and secreted (MUC2 and MUC3) mucins were used for immunohistochemical and RNA Northern and slot-blot analysis. MUC1 mRNA was detected in all epithelial tissues tested. MUC1 core peptide, recognized by mo...
متن کاملGSTA1 expression in normal, preneoplastic, and neoplastic human prostate tissue.
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), inducible enzymes that catalyze the detoxification of reactive electrophiles and oxidants, protect against neoplastic transformation. Prostatic adenocarcinoma and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) fail to express GSTP1, a major class of GST. This failure of expression is associated with methlyation of the GSTP1 promoter, a somat...
