    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Summary The relationsship between the growth of tumors and the expression of the protooncogen Bcl-2 could be shown in epithelial tumors. A bcl-2 expression leads to a prolonged cell survival due to an inhibition of apoptosis. The potential meaning of bcl-2 expression in mesenchymal tumors remains still unknown. The fact, that the heterogenous group of osteosarkoma is not sufficiently characterized at present, suggested to investigate the bcl-2 expression in osteosarcoma. Thus, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze 47 specimens of different osteosarcomas of 36 patients. Sixteen cases (46 %) showed a strong expression of bcl-2 and 13 cases (35 %) were moderately positiv for bcl-2. Seven cases (19 %) were negative for bcl-2. The heterogenous, negative up to strong expression of bcl-2 yield clues, that the Bcl-2 controlled regulation of programmed cell death could be an important factor of cellular kinetics. Additionally the cellular proliferationrate was determined with the monoklonal antibody MIB 1, directed against the Ki-67 epitop. The data of bcl-2 expression and cellular proliferationrate lead to a classification correlating with the histological classification. To verify the importance of apoptosis in the genesis of mesenchymal tumors and whether Bcl-2 may play an important role as a predictive factor for the prognosis of osteosarcoma, further investigations will be needed.
    Notizen: Zusammenfassung Bei zahlreichen epithelialen Geweben konnte ein Zusammenhang zwischen Tumorwachstum und der Expression des Protoonkogens Bcl-2 nachgewiesen werden. Eine bcl-2-Expression ist verbunden mit verlängertem Zellüberleben infolge einer Apoptoseinhibition. Hingegen ist über die bcl-2-Expression und deren mögliche Bedeutung in mesenchymalen Tumoren wenig bekannt. Da die heterogene Gruppe der Osteosarkome mit den derzeitigen methodischen Mitteln nicht hinreichend charakterisierbar ist, wurde die bcl-2-Expression untersucht. Immunhistologisch wurden 47 Osteosarkompräparate von 36 Patienten unterschiedlicher Subtypen analysiert. Von den 36 Fällen zeigten in der Biopsie 16 Fälle (46 %) eine stark positive und 13 Fälle (35 %) eine mittelgradig positive bcl-2 Expression. Sieben Fälle (19 %) waren bcl-2-negativ. Die heterogene, fehlende bis starke bcl-2-Expression deutet darauf hin, daß in Osteosarkomen die Bcl-2-gesteuerte Regulation des programmierten Zelltodes einen Faktor in der zellulären Wachstumskinetik darstellt. Zusätzlich wurde die Proliferationsrate, anhand des gegen das Ki-67-Antigen gerichteten monoklonalen Antikörper MIB-1 bestimmt. Aus den Daten zur bcl-2-Expression und Proliferationsrate ergibt sich eine Einteilung, die eine Übereinstimmung mit der histologischen Klassifikation aufweist. Welche Bedeutung die Apoptose in der Genese mesenchymaler Tumoren hat und ob die bcl-2-Expression einen prädiktiven Wert für die Prognose von Osteosarkomen besitzt, bedarf weiterer Untersuchungen.

    Notizen: Abstract We have raised antisera against extracts of the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula L. Brains of 2900 specimens were collected in acetone, and the region containing the SCO and posterior commissure was removed and extracted in three different media. Antisera against these crude extracts were raised in rats and rabbits. Sequential absorptions of the antisera with extracts from different regions of the dogfish brain were performed to eliminate unwanted antibodies. When used to immunostain sections of the whole central nervous system of the dogfish, these purified antisera reacted selectively with the SCO-Reissner's fiber complex. An antiserum against bovine Reissner's fiber was also used. The antisera against the dogfish SCO and bovine Reissner's fiber showed the same staining pattern in the SCO and the Reissner's fiber of the dogfish. For comparative purposes, the brains of 15 vertebrate species from all vertebrate classes were immunostained with both antisera. The anti-dogfish SCO serum reacted with the SCO of the dogfish and that of other phylogenetically related elasmobranch species. Neither the SCO of a primitive elasmobranch species, Heptranchias perlo, nor the SCO of the other classes of vertebrates reacted with the anti-dogfish SCO serum. However, the antiserum against bovine Reissner's fiber reacted with the SCO of all the investigated species. It is concluded that some epitopes (or compounds) in the secretory material of the SCO are class-specific, whereas others are conserved and are synthesized by the SCO in most vertebrate species.

    Notizen: Summary The rat subcommissural organ (SCO), principally composed of modified ependymocytes (a type of glial cell), is a suitable model for the in vivo study of glial differentiation. An immunohistochemical study of the ontogenesis of rat SCO-ependymocytes from embryonic day 13 to postnatal day 10 shows that these cells express transitory glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) from embryonic day 19 until postnatal day 3. However, S100 protein (S100) is never expressed in the SCO-cells, contrasting with the ventricle-lining cells of the third ventricle, which contain S100 as early as embryonic day 17. Environmental factors could be responsible for the repression of GFAP and S100 in adult rats, because GFAP and S100 are observed in ependymocytes of SCO 3 months after being grafted from newborn rat into the fourth ventricle of an adult rat. Neuronal factors might be involved in the control of the expression of S100, since after the destruction of serotonin innervation by neurotoxin at birth, S100 can be observed in some SCO-ependymocytes of adult rats. On the other hand, GFAP expression is apparently not affected by serotomin denervation, suggesting the existence of several factors involved in the differentiation of SCO-cells.

    Notizen: Abstract Nosological classification of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML; Rosai-Dorfman disease) is difficult, and the normal cellular counterpart of Rosai-Dorfman (RD) cells is uncharacterised. The peculiar S-100+ phenotype of RD cells suggests a relationship with the dendritic cell family. Recent investigations have revealed cathepsin E to be selectively concentrated in antigen-presenting cells, whereas cathepsin D was found to be expressed in cells of macrophage lineage. Cathepsin D and E distribution was investigated by immunohistochemistry in a series of SHML biopsies and in two types of dendritic cell proliferative lesions: dermatopathic lymphadenitis (DL) and Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH). In SHML biopsies, RD cells and monocyte-related elements of the sinuses and pulp coexpressed cathepsin D and E. LCH cells also stained for both these aspartic proteinases. Conversely, in DL cathepsin E and D were localised to separate cells that resembled Langerhans' cells (LC) or macrophages, respectively, in morphology and distribution. Our data outline the peculiar immunophenotype of RD and LCH cells and suggest that caution should be exercised in the identification of their normal cellular counterpart. The common expression of cathepsin D and E and of S-100 protein suggests some phenotypic overlap between SHML and LCH cells, despite their striking morphological divergence.

    Notizen: Abstract Metallothioneins (MTs) are ubiquitous low-molecular-weight proteins with a high affinity for heavy metal ions such as zinc, copper and cadmium. MT over-expression has been associated with resistance against anticancer drugs. In the present study we investigated 86 cases (45 cases of tumour category pT1 and 41 of category pT2) of routinely fixed and paraffin-embedded primary breast carcinomas immunohistochemically with a monoclonal antibody to an epitope of MT shared by its I and II isoforms. Immunohistochemically demonstrated MT over-expression was found in the invasive components of 7 of 32 pT1 and 17 of 28 pT2 invasive ductal carcinomas, whereas all 26 invasive lobular carcinomas gave weak or negative results. Fourteen of 17 pT2 and 2 of 7 pT1 invasive ductal carcinomas with MT over-expression developed metastases during follow-up with poor prognostic outcome. In contrast only 3 of 11 pT2 and none of the 25 pT1 cases without MT over-expression had a poor clinical course (P 〈 0.001). It is concluded that MT over-expression is associated with significantly poor prognosis particularly in pT2 invasive ductal breast carcinomas.

    Notizen: Abstract The observation that v-src-induced tumors contain tumor cells of differing morphology, notably fibroblastoid or polygonal, raised the question as to whether the tumor cells are also heterogeneous with respect to expression of markers of cellular differentiation. Of the markers tested here, consistent reactivity for tumor tissue was noted only for antibody probes reactive to muscle actin (HHF35, αsm-1) or to procollagen type I (SP1. D8); for any given tumor, whether induced by v-src DNA or by Rous sarcoma virus, each of these markers was found only in a subpopulation of tumor cells. The observation of marker heterogeneity in the one v-src DNA-induced tumor examined here that typed as monoclonal suggests that v-src-induced transformation is consonant with a degree of plasticity in the phenotypes of the clonal progeny of a single transformant.

    Notizen: Summary Two cases of well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with focal biliary differentiation are presented. The distinct histological features of these neoplasms and the unusually protracted clinical course of 8 and 10 years distinguish them from previously described pathological categories of primary hepatic tumors. Electron microscopic and immunohistochemical findings support a dual hepatic and bile duct differentiation of the tumor cells. If additional examples of this tumor are found to be associated with a similarly prolonged symptom-free survival, the distinction of this entity from traditional, rapidly fatal HCC becomes important. Less aggressive therapeutic options may be entertained.

    Notizen: Summary Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) was studied with monoclonal antibody 2E9 on 50 ovarian tumors of various histological types and 10 non-tumorous ovarian tissues by immunohistochemistry. Enhanced expression was observed in 26/50 (52%) of the tumors. Only 25 out of 46 epithelial tumors (54%) showed positivity in epithelial tumor cells. Staining was cytoplasmic in all cases. No correlation was established between EGF-R expression and the histological type of the epithelial tumor. Apart from EGF-R expression in tumor cells, low immunoreactivity was also observed in stromal and endothelial cells in both normal and tumorous ovarian tissues. Furthermore in 8/9 specimens containing necrotic areas, EGF-R was noticed in these areas as well. Both of the latter observations may have impact on the evaluation of the prognostic value of EGF-R activity in tumors, when based on EGF-R measurements using biochemical binding studies. We therefore recommend that EGF-R is measured with both methods in studies regarding its clinical value.
