Carcinogenesis in the Hamster Cheek Pouch
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pouches from three experimental and one control animal were excised for analysis at various times during the first week and thereafter each week of carcinogen application (9,10-dimethyl-l ,~-benzanthracene) until the 131h week, at which time large tumors were present in all remaining aninmls. IIistologic progression from normal through inflanmmtion, uniform hyperplasia, localized premalignant hyperplasia, to small tumors (7 weeks) and then large squamous-cell carcinomas, was observed). Sulfhydryl group concentration, determined by amperomelric t i trat ion of acid-soluble fractions of cell-free extracts of the whole pouches of males, showed a biphasic curve with an increase in -SH at 36 hours, followed by a decrease at 60 hours. Pouches from females did not exhibit the early rise, and the decrease was more profound. -SH concentrations remained low until the period of tumor production and then rose slowly in the whole pouches. Tumor tissue contained about 40 per cent of the concentration of soluble SII exhibited by the nontumor-bearing tissue from which it was removed. The latter fell within the range of control tissue.

The studies demonstrated that the use of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a vehicle for dimethylbenzanthracene in the produc tion of experimental tumors in the hamster cheek pouch, sig nificantly reduced the latent period for tumor production when compared to the usual mineral oil vehicle. No systemic or local changes could be attributed to the DMSO itself, and the mor phology of induced tumors was...

متن کاملDetection of Ki-ras messenger RNA in normal and chemically transformed hamster oral keratinocytes.
The cheek pouch of the Syrian hamster is an excellent model for the experimental study of oral carcinogenesis. The carcinogenic chemical 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene consistently produces epidermoid carcinomas in the cheek pouch of the Syrian hamster, giving rise to characteristic histopathological lesions in a time-dependent manner. We now present experimental evidence that c-Ki-ras mRNA can...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)/optical Doppler tomography (ODT) provides real-time in vivo high-resolution (10-microm) imaging of tissues and real-time spatially resolved blood flow in microvasculature. Hamster cheek pouches with induced dysplasia and malignancies were imaged with OCT/ODT to assess the potential for application to airway malignancy. In 22 Golden Syrian hamsters, 0.5% 9,10-d...
