Elevation of Peptidylproline Hydroxylase Activity and Collagen Synthesis in Spontaneous Primary Mammary Cancers of Inbred Mice1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parameters of collagen biosynthesis were determined in mammary cancer tissue. Peptidylproline hydroxylase (PPH) activity was determined in spontaneous primary mammary cancer tissue and normal mammary gland in fat pad. The enzyme was located in the 105,000 X g supernatant of whole-tissue homogenates. Ascorbate, a-ketoglutarate, and ferrous ion were required for enzyme activity of cancerous and control tissues. The activity of PPH of cancer tissue from five high-mammary-cancer strains of inbred mice was 3to 5-fold higher than the level of enzyme activity in normal mammary gland in fat pad of animals of comparable age. As a second parameter of collagen-biosynthetic rate of cancer tissue and specifically the PPH step, the rate of formation of hydroxyproline-14C from uniformly labeled proline-14C was

متن کاملCollagen synthesis by cloned mouse mammary tumor cells.
Neoplasms require stroma to support their growth. Col lagen is the major protein of stroma, and its biosynthesis is an important event in the development and growth of tumors. Collagen synthesis is generally considered to be a property of fibroblasts. However, the cell type responsi ble for collagenous stroma formation in neoplastic tissue has not been fully identified. In an attempt to answer ...

متن کاملCanine 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...
متن کاملPrimary Stromal Sarcoma of Breast with Nodal Recurrence
Although most breast cancers are adenocarcinomas of the mammary gland, primary breast sarcomas may also arise from mammary gland mesenchymal tissue. Sarcomas represent less than 1% of primary breast neoplasms. These tumors are at high risk of recurrence and are known to have poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for these lesions and axillary lymph node dissection is no...
