    Apoptosis in human gastric mucosa, chronic gastritis, dysplasia and carcinoma: analysis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (1996)

    Notes: Abstract We examined the existence and distribution of apoptotic cells in human gastric mucosa, chronic gastritis, adenomatous dysplasias and carcinomas in 15 surgically removed stomachs in which dysplasia and carcinoma were found simultaneously. Serial sections were cut for immunohistochemistry for p53 oncoprotein and Ki-67 antigen, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL). TUNEL signal-positive apoptotic cells were rare in normal mucosa, while a few apoptotic cells were noted in gastritic mucosa and intestinal metaplasia, intermingled with Ki-67 antigen-positive cells forming a generative cell zone. This suggests the cell-cycle-dependent apoptosis of gastric mucosa. The frequency of apoptotic cells per crypt was higher in incomplete than in complete metaplasia, implying greater underlying DNA damage in the former. TUNEL indices (TI; percentage of TUNEL-positive cells in tumour cells) were slightly higher in adenomatous dysplasias (4.9±2.1) than in carcinoma (3.9±1.1), but there was no no statistical difference. Ki-67 indices (KI; percentage of Ki-67 antigen-positive cells in tumour cells) were significantly (P〈0.05) higher in carcinomas than in dysplasias. Thus, gastric adenomatous dysplasias were characterized by relatively higher TI and lower KI, which might reflect a more static growth potential. The expression of p53 oncoprotein in cancer cells is thought to be an apoptosis-suppressing event, although its precise role remains to be elucidated. Overall, these results indicate that apoptosis plays a crucial part in the morphogenesis of gastritic mucosa including intestinal metaplasia, and that the process is correlated both with tumourigenesis and with proliferative activity.

    Notes: Abstract The cell surface Fas antigen transducts an apoptotic signal by its crosslinking with Fas ligand or anti-Fas antibody in a variety of human cultured cells. In this study, we examined the expression of Fas antigen and its mediation of apoptosis in six human colorectal carcinoma cell lines. A flow cytometric analysis revealed that LoVo, DLD-1, WiDr and SW837 cell lines showed higher expression levels of Fas antigen, in contrast to lower expression in COLO201 and COLO320DM. Interferon-γ enhanced the expression of Fas antigen in all of the cell lines examined. Both Fas ligand and Fas-associated phosphatase-1 (FAP-1) were expressed only in COLO320DM. Anti-Fas antibody induced apoptosis in LoVo carrying wild-type p53 gene, but not in the other five cell lines carrying mutated p53 gene. The transfection of wild-type p53 gene using an adenovirous vector upregulated P53 protein in WiDr and SW837 cells, both of which showed, however, no increase in apoptotic cells by anti-Fas antibody treatment. These results indicated that (1) Fas antigen was variably expressed, regardless of the p53 gene status and (2) the susceptibility to anti-Fas antibody-mediated apoptosis did not correlate to Fas, Fas ligand or FAP-1 expression levels. Therefore, we conclude that wild-type P53 expression might not necessarily be essential for Fas-mediated apoptosis in human colorectal carcinoma cell lines.

    Role of the bcl-2/bax pathway in hepatocyte apoptosis during acute rejection after rat liver transplantation (1998)

    Notes: Abstract It is well established that hepatocytes undergo apoptotic cell death in the course of rejection of liver grafts. The present study was designed to investigate the role of the bcl-2/bax pathway in liver allograft tissue. Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed in three groups of rats: group 1, a syngeneic combination (Lewis to Lewis), group 2, an allogeneic combination (ACI to Lewis), and group 3, an allogeneic combination (ACI to Lewis) treated with 15-deoxyspergualin. The number of apoptotic cells identified by the TUNEL method in the grafted liver reflected the severity of acute rejection. In group 1, both bcl-2 mRNA and bax mRNA were expressed in trace amounts. In group 2, bcl-2 mRNA was slightly expressed while the expression of bax mRNA rose steadily. In group 3, bcl-2 mRNA expression levels remained similar to group 1, while bax expression levels exceeded those in group 1, but were less than in group 2. Expression of bcl-2 mRNA was stationary in comparison with expression of bax mRNA. Significantly higher levels of bax mRNA were expressed from day 4 in group 2 than in group 1 (on postoperative days 4, 6, and 8, P 〈 0.05, group 2 vs group 1). We also investigated bax protein and results consistent with the mRNA analysis data were obtained. These findings suggest that apoptotic cell death in liver allograft rejection is regulated, at least in part, by bax.

    Expression of bcl-2 homologue mRNAs in rat liver allograft: rejection-induced cell apoptosis is associated with upregulation of bax and bcl-xs expression (1998)

    Notes: Abstract Apoptosis is considered to play an important role in rejection of organ transplants, although the precise mechanism has not been elucidated. In this study, we screened for the expression of bcl-2 homologues (bcl-2, bax, bcl-xl, and bcl-xs) and Fas ligand (FasL) by RT–PCR method in grafts during acute rejection in rats following liver transplantation. Both bax and bcl-xs (inducers of apoptosis) mRNA levels increased steadily in the allografted group from postoperative day (POD) 2 to 8, while no remarkable changes of bcl-2 and bcl-xl expression (inhibitors of apoptosis) were recognized. Significant induction of FasL gene expression was observed in the allografted group on POD 4 and expression gradually decreased thereafter, although minimal FasL mRNA expression was seen in isografts. Our results indicated, for the first time, that rejection-induced cell apoptosis is closely associated with upregulation of bax and bcl-xs expression besides FasL, but not with down-regulation of bcl-xl.
