Transplantable ductal adenocarcinoma of the Syrian hamster pancreas.

چکیده
A well-differentiated ductal adenocarcinoma of the Syrian golden hamster induced by N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine was transplantable to both nude mice and inbred Syrian hamsters. The tumor grew rapidly in the nude mouse (12-fold increase in size at 45 days) in contrast to its growth in hamster (3-fold increase in size at 45 days). A curious finding associated with the slow-growing tumor in the hamster was an intense infiltration of the neoplasm by polymorphonuclear leukocytes unattended by either necrosis or infection. The neoplasm produced mucin and rapidly and specifically bound 125I-labeled secretin, although the degree of nonspecific binding (40.5%) was higher than that of control hamster pancreas (23%). Unstimulated adenyl cyclase activity (pmol cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate per mg protein) of the neoplasm was significantly higher [3.76 +/- 0.55 (S.E.)] than that of unstimulated normal hamster pancreas (1.03 +/- 0.44). Secretin did not significantly change the level of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (3.3 +/- 0.56) from the unstimulated level in the neoplasm, in contrast to its effect on normal pancreas where the level was increased 3-fold (3.1 +/- 0.75).

Chemotherapy of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: initial report on two transplantable models in the Syrian hamster.
Experimental evaluation of chemotherapy of pancreatic cancer has been limited by the lack of suitable animal models, which have only recently become available. The present study is the first report on the chemosensitivity of two transplantable animal models of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The single-agent antitumor activity of 5-fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, mitomycin C (MMC), methotrexate, act...

This study investigates possible alterations in exons 5 through 8 of the p53 gene and altered p53 protein expression in the Syrian golden hamster model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In the Syrian hamster p5.3 sequence, 1469 base pairs are presented for the genomic regions surround ing exons 5 through 8, along with the primer sequences specific for the enzymatic amplification of the indiv...

Pancreatic carcinogenesis in the Syrian hamster, induced by beta-oxidized derivatives of N-nitroso-di-n-propylamine, constitutes a valuable model of human cancer of the exocrine pancreas. In both species the majority of tumors are adenocarcinomas: superficially, on the basis of their histological appearance, these appear to be ductal in origin. However, sequential analysis, by electron microsco...
متن کاملRetinoic acid binding protein in human and experimental pancreatic carcinomas in hamsters.
Cytoplasmic retinoic acid binding protein (cRABP) is present in human fetal pancreas and becomes nondetectable in the normal adult pancreas. The binding protein for retinoic acid becomes apparent again in pancreatic cancer. Similar fluctuations in the content of cRABP occur in the hamster. The binding protein is undetectable in the normal adult hamster pancreas, while it was detected in several...
