Protein S-100 immunostaining as a diagnostic tool for DMBA-induced melanotic lesions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study we demonstrate immunohistochemically the presence of S-100 protein in numerous melanotic and amelanotic lesions (benign, premalignant and malignant) induced in albino guinea-pigs on topical application of the carcinogen. Positive staining was also present in all their amelanotic metastases. We reiterate the value of this stain in the diagnosis of melanomas, in particular amelanotic melanomas.

The 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...

Objective- Breast cancer is one of the most serious problems in oncology. Alkaloids pyrrolizidine are widely found in nature and exhibited versatile biological activities. The aim of the present study was to assess anti-tumor activity of methyl 1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2'-carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary ...
متن کاملMelanotic oncocytic metaplasia of the nasopharynx: a case report with a focus on immunohistochemical analyses and literature review.
Melanotic oncocytic metaplasia (MOM) of the nasopharynx is an extremely rare lesion, with only 21 cases reported in English literature to date. MOM typically occurs near the Eustachian tube opening in Asian men in their 60 s to 70 s. Here, we present a case of MOM in a 57-year-old Japanese man who is a heavy smoker. The patient did not have complaints; MOM was diagnosed incidentally as 4 flat e...
متن کاملPregnancy-dependent growth of mammary tumors is associated with overexpression of insulin-like growth factor II.
We demonstrate that although IGF-II gene expression is approximately 3-fold higher in 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracine (DMBA)-induced rat mammary tumors (MTs) than in nonneoplastic breast tissue, IGF-II mRNA abundance in DMBA-induced MTs is approximately 130-fold higher in pregnant as compared to nonpregnant hosts. This correlated with accelerated tumor growth in pregnant hosts. Immunohistochem...
متن کاملVitamin D(3) receptor ablation sensitizes skin to chemically induced tumorigenesis.
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25D(3)) is the biologically active form of vitamin D(3) that interacts with the nuclear vitamin D(3) receptor (VDR) to modulate gene expression in a tissue-specific fashion. 1,25D(3) is a potent regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in a variety of cell types, including keratinocytes. In these studies, we assessed the sensitivity of mice ho...
