Correlation of Growth Morphology and Clonability with Malignancy of WEHI-7 T-Cell Lymphoma Sublines1

چکیده
This study examined the development of subclones of different proliferative capacity and malignancy in the WEHI-7 tumor. The mouse T-cell lymphoma WEHI-7 can be cloned in agar with a cloning efficiency of 40 to 50%. On the basis of growth mor phology, two types of colonies were distinguished. Most colonies were compact, but a few, no more than 5%, were diffuse. Sublines of the two colony types were established. The cloning efficiency in agar was 40 to 50% for the compact and 15 to 25% for the diffuse sublines. The recloning efficiency did not change for compact colonies. In contrast, the cloning efficiency of diffuse colonies decreased with repeated reclonings. The mice died within 24 to 34 days of i.v. injection of 10" WEHI-7 cells. The same number of cells of the individual sublines administered to mice resulted in improved survival. Injection of compact subline cells resulted in death in 24 to 48 days, while diffuse subline cells resulted in death in 30 to 75 days. The sublines were indistinguishable by light and electron microscopy. Both subline types were negative for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and positive for Thy 1.2. Most cells from the two types of sublines were Lyt-1 and Lyt-2 positive. The doubling time was 10 hr for compact and 14 hr for diffuse sublines. Colony morphology was conserved after passage in vivo and after more than 10 transfers in vitro in liquid and agar media. In conclusion, the different growth morphology in vitro distinguished the succiones of differ ent malignancy in the WEHI-7 tumor cell line.

Although aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are separate entities with different management, distinction between the two can be difficult on morphological basis due to hypocellularity of bone marrow. MDS is one of the serious complications of AA. Karyotyping is definitive in the diagnosis of MDS. Better and robust investigations like 18F-Fluoro-deoxy-Glucose Posi...

Background: Lymphoma is a malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells. External T-cell lymphoma is very rare. Lymphomas are neoplastic growth of lymphocytes caused by organisms like EBV, HIV, etc. This malignancy is classified as Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Oral lymphomas account for a small percentage of head and neck malignancies, and intraoral lymphoma is rare and mostly see...
