Cell surface carbohydrates in healthy oral mucosa (n = 15), leukoplakias without (n = 48) and with (n = 62) dysplasia, oral papillomas (n = 6) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) (n = 40) were examined using the lectins peanut agglutinin (PNA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA I), soybean agglutinin
OBJECTIVE
Biliary papillomatosis is characterized by papillary proliferations of biliary lining cells without invasion or metastasis. The neoplastic character and biological behaviour of this disease remain still speculative. These issues were examined in this study.
RESULTS
Mucin core protein MUC1,
BACKGROUND
Infection with high-risk type human papilloma viruses (HPVs) is associated with cervical carcinomas and with a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Viral E6 and E7 oncogenes cooperate to achieve cell immortalization by a mechanism that is not yet fully understood. Here, human
Tumor initiating potential was tested for eight pyrolysates of carbohydrates in a two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model using 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) as the promoter. The pyrolysates were levoglucosan (LG-I), levoglucosenone (LG-II), furfural (FF), 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfural
Laryngeal papillomas were removed from two patients with the argon laser and examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and stereoscanning electron microscopy (SSEM). Two techniques, lipid-carbohydrate retention for TEM specimens and sonication for SEM,
BACKGROUND
Biliary papillomatosis (BP) is a rare disease entity with a strong malignant potential. It is characterized by multiple papillary adenomas involving both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree. BP was considered in the past to be a disease with low malignant potential. However, a
The purpose of this research was to compare the influence of calorie restriction by removal of fat with calorie restriction by removal of carbohydrate on the promotion of skin tumorigenesis in mice. Female SENCAR mice were initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (10 nmol, single topical
Breast diseases in 792 women were studied by biopsy and histological evaluation. In all subjects glucose tolerance was examined by OGTT (100 g glucose). The diabetes frequency of 22% in 326 women with breast cancer was compared with the frequency in women with fibroadenoma (n = 101), papilloma (n =
Alteration in cell surface carbohydrates, and in particular cell surface sialylation, have been known to occur during oncogenic transformation. To examine the basis for such changes, we have transformed the rat fibroblast cell line FR3T3 with the oncogenes c-Ha-ras EJ, v-mycOK10, v-src, polyoma
The present study used a postinitiation protocol to investigate molecular mechanisms by which black raspberries (BRBs) influence the late stages of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine (NMBA)-induced esophageal tumorigenesis in rats. F344 rats were injected with NMBA and then fed either control diet or a diet
Mouse C127 epithelioid cells were genetically engineered to produce biologically active gamma-carboxylated human protein S. A full length human protein S cDNA was cloned into a bovine papilloma virus (BPV) based shuttle vector under the transcriptional control of the Moloney murine sarcoma virus
Human anticoagulant vitamin-K-dependent protein S was expressed in mouse C127 cells using a bovine papilloma virus vector system. A full-length cDNA construct was introduced into the vector in the 5' untranslated region of the mouse metallothionein-I gene. Transfected cells expressed approximately
The ABO and Lewis blood group antigens are cell surface carbohydrate determinants formed by the sequential addition of saccharides to precursor backbone structures of membrane lipids and proteins. Suppression of normally active glycosyltransferases results in the absence of antigens that are
In order to develop a simple, efficient system for the high-level expression of human insulin receptors in eukaryotic cells, a full-length human kidney insulin receptor cDNA was inserted into a bovine papilloma virus vector under the control of the mouse metallothionein promoter. After transfection
