Induction of Tumors in the Syrian Hamster with
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumors of the liver, kidneys, and lungs have been induced in rats by the feeding of dimethyl nitrosamine (DMN) and diethylnitrosamine (DENA) (1, 11, 12, 18). Dontenwill et al. (3, 4) reported that squamous-cell carcinoma of the trachea and lung of Syrian hamsters followed ad ministration of DENA by each of three ap proaches—tube feeding, inhalation, and subcu taneous injection. They observed cirrhosis of the liver but no hepatic cancer. The tumors of the trachea described by Don tenwill and Mohr histologically resemble the squamous-cell papillomas of the trachea and bronchi induced by us following the intratracheal instillation of benzo[a]pyrene suspended in Tween 60 (9). The experiments reported in the present study were designed to compare tumors of the respiratory system that were induced by DENA with similar tumors induced by benzo[a}pyrene in our earlier experiment.

A 2-year-old male hamster was presented because of left facial swelling and salivation. Necropsy wasperformed and affected cheek pouch with tissue samples of regional and internal organs were submitted forhistopathological study. In histopathological examination it was found that the tumor consisted of cords andislands of tumoric epithelial cells which were diffused in the dermis. Vacoulation o...
متن کاملThe Induction of Melanotic Tumors Resembling Cellular Blue Nevi in the Syrian White Hamster by Cutaneous Application of 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene*
Melanotic tumors resembling cellular blue nevi of man were induced in the Syrian white hamster by single and multiple applications of 7,1~-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Histologically they resembled the melanotic tumors produced under similar experimental conditions in the Syrian golden hamster. They showed great variations in pigment content from almost nonpigmented to heavily pigmented tu...

The present paper records the availability of a new transplantable melanotic tumor in the Syrian golden hamster. A previous report (1) described the induction of multiple pigmented tumors in the Syrian golden hamster following the application to the skin of a single dose of the carcinogen 9,10dimethyl-l,2-benzanthracene. These tumors were sharply demarcated and located in the dermis and subcuta...

The carcinogens 9,10-dime thy 1-1,2-benzanthracene, 20-methylcholanthrene, 3,4benzpyrene, 1,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene, 1,2-benzanthracene, and 2-anthramine have been tested topically in the Syrian golden hamster. The mouse skin tumor-promoting agents, croton oil and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60), have been tested on hamster skin following a single applica tion of 9,10-dimethyl-l...

Syrian hamster as a permissive immunocompetent animal model for the study of oncolytic adenovirus vectors.
Oncolytic adenoviruses represent an innovative approach to cancer therapy. These vectors are typically evaluated in immunodeficient mice with human xenograft tumors. However, in addition to being immunodeficient, this model is limited because normal and cancerous mouse tissues are poorly permissive for human adenovirus replication. This prompted us to search for a model that more accurately ref...
