Role of natural killer cells in intraocular melanoma metastasis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors studied the role of natural killer (NK) cells in spontaneous metastasis of murine intraocular melanoma by transplanting murine B16 melanoma cells into the anterior chamber of the eye in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice and determining the number of metastatic lung tumor colonies after 40 days. Depletion of NK activity by anti-asialo GM1 serum dramatically enhanced metastasis and augmentation of NK activity by interferon inhibited it. The strong correlation between host NK activity and intraocular melanoma metastasis indicated that NK cells have an important role in spontaneous metastasis of intraocular melanoma.

Relationship between natural killer cell susceptibility and metastasis of human uveal melanoma cells in a murine model.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the susceptibility of human uveal melanoma cells to in vitro and in vivo natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytolysis and to determine if NK cells influence metastasis from the eye. METHODS Four human uveal melanoma cell lines and one melanoma cell line derived from a metastatic lesion from a patient with uveal melanoma were tested for in vitr...
متن کاملGrowth and Metastasis of Intraocular Tumors in Aged Mice
PURPOSE Since deterioration of the immune apparatus is closely associated with cancer, we examined the effect of aging on the growth and metastasis of intraocular melanomas in mice. METHODS Murine B16LS9 melanoma cells were transplanted into the posterior compartment of the eye (vitreous chamber) and intraocular tumor growth and development of liver metastases were evaluated in young (8-10 we...

Among immune system components natural killer (NK) cells are the first line of defence against tumor cells. The decreasing activity of these cells can be associated with carcinogenesis, in situ tumor growth and metastasis of different cancers, viral infections, immunodeficiency syndroms and autoimmune diseases. In this study natural killer activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (Effecto...
متن کاملThe role of microRNA-30a and downstream snail1 on the growth and metastasis of melanoma tumor
Objective(s): Growing evidences have indicated microRNAs as modulators of tumor development and aggression. On the other hand, a phenomenon known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that indicates a transient phase from epithelial-like features to mesenchymal phenotype is a key player in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to assess the potential impacts...
متن کاملEnucleation in consort with immunologic impairment promotes metastasis of intraocular melanomas in mice.
A series of investigations was employed to determine if metastases of intraocular melanomas could be induced by experimental manipulations. Syngeneic B16F10 melanoma cells transplanted intracamerally into C57BL/6 mice produced progressively growing intraocular tumors, yet formed only occasional pulmonary metastases. Neither enucleation nor mechanical manipulation of the melanoma-containing eye ...
