| Research Abstract |
Cell kinetics of brain tumors Double-labeling studies with BUdR and iododeoxyuridine, performed to analyze the cell cycle progression in over 50 gliomas, revealed that S-phase duration (Ts) was fairly uniform (mean +- SD : 8.9 +- 2.0 hours) regardless of the differences in the LIs. Nevertheless, the potential doubling time (the time for a tumor cell population to double in the absence of cell lose) varied from 2 days to over a month, begin very short for tumors with a high LI, and correlated withthe BUdR LIs (Tp=17.8/LI^<0.77> ; r=0.95). The cell cycle time calculated for gliomas with LIs of 1-20% was 1-2 days. These paramaters are useful in determining the dose, duration, and interval of chemotherapy and in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment. In addition, novel methods for evaluating proliferating activities of brain tumors were developed.
1) In situ hybridization for Histone 3 mRNA
2) Probuction of nucleolin antibody and its characterization
3) Clinical application of MIB-1 antibody immunohistochemistry
A tumor suppressor gene P-53 was analyzed, using a polymerase chain reaction-RFLP method. The loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was demonstrated in 48% of brain tumors.
The expression of facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) isoforms in human astrocytic tumors was examined. GLUT1 was observed in the luminal surface of capillaries in all cases, whereas tumor cells were positive for GLUT1 in only two of 14 cases. these of 14 cases expressed the GLUT4 protein, which was localized in the cytoplasm of tumor cells.
C-CAM and K3 protein closely related to the formation of blood brain barrier function in the central nervous system.
