چکیده

The plasma of dogs afflicted with mammary carcinoma was perfused through chambers bearing Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain I in an attempt to remove tumor-promoting, immunosuppressive immune complexes from the peripheral blood of these animals. In this canine model of spontaneous mammary carcinoma, reduction of breast and/or soft-tissue tumor (posttreatment size equal to 0 to 50% of pretreatment tumor size) was observed in five of the ten animals so treated. Immune complexes capable of blocking lymphocytotoxicity were measured pre- and postimmunoadsorption; removal was more efficient in the five responders (four of six complexes) than in nonresponders (one of ten complexes), although statistical significance was not attained. The reduction of tumor size seen in soft-tissue sites was not always accompanied by a similar reduction of tumor size in visceral sites, and surgical resection of residual soft-tissue tumor nodules remaining after immunoadsorption treatment was required to achieve a complete response in two responding animals. No significant decrease in tumor size was observed in the control group, perfused without immunoadsorbent, nor in five additional tumor-bearing animals infused with normal dog plasma which had been passed through S. aureus Cowan strain I-containing chambers. These data indicate that immunoadsorption of tumor-bearing host plasma can result in reduction in size of canine mammary adenocarcinoma but that the response is dependent on the site of the tumor (s.c. versus visceral) and may require utilization of other modalities to achieve a complete disappearance of the tumor.

Classification and grading of canine malignant mammary tumors

Histological grading is a good parameter to stratify tumors according to their biological aggressiveness. The Elston and Ellis grading method in humans, invasive ductal breast carcinomas and other invasive tumors are routinely used. The aims of this study were classification of mammary gland tumors and also application of a human grading method in canine mammary carcinoma. The samples included ...

Canine Mammary Gland Cancer Stem Cell and its Potential Role in Malignant Biologic Behavior

BACKGROUND:Canine mammary gland cancers are the most prevalent malignancies in dogs. There are different challenges regarding management of these cancers in dogs and human, one hypothesis is related to small cellular subset of tumor mass called cancer stem cell. These cells are therapy resistant and cause metastasis and relapse even after primary successful treatment. The well-identified phenot...

Significant Growth Inhibition of Canine Mammary Carcinoma Xenografts following Treatment with Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus GLV-1h68

Canine mammary carcinoma is a highly metastatic tumor that is poorly responsive to available treatment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify novel agents for therapy of this disease. Recently, we reported that the oncolytic vaccinia virus GLV-1h68 could be a useful tool for therapy of canine mammary adenoma in vivo. In this study we analyzed the therapeutic effect of GLV-1h68 against ...

The antiprogestins mifepristone and onapristone reduce cell proliferation in the canine mammary carcinoma cell line CMT-U27.

Canine mammary tumours (CMTs) represent nearly half of all tumours in female dogs and some 50% have malignant behaviour. Simple epithelial carcinomas have shorter disease free periods after surgery and a higher reduction of the proliferation index reduction after antiprogestin aglepristone treatment in vivo related to the expression of progesterone receptors (PR). These findings make simple car...

Dichloroacetate affects proliferation but not apoptosis in canine mammary cell lines

Targeting mitochondrial energy metabolism is a novel approach in cancer research and can be traced back to the description of the Warburg effect. Dichloroacetate, a controversially discussed subject of many studies in cancer research, is a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase inhibitor. Dichloroacetate causes metabolic changes in cancerous glycolysis towards oxidative phosphorylation via indirect acti...
