The behavior of mast cells was studied during tumor growth. Sarcoma 13, and normal syngeneic kidney, as control, were implanted subcutaneously in BALBc mice. The number of mast cells in the hypodermis and peritumoral tissue increased 3-fold, 20 days after implantation. In the peritumoral tissue, mast cell degranulation increased together with tumor growth, while in the dermis and hypodermis, it first decreased and only became evident on day 20. Mitosis and mast cell degranulation, more conspicuous in tissues near the tumor, seem to indicate the existence of tumoral factors which spread slowly from the tumor to distant zones. The role of mast cells in peritumoral tissues will be evaluated in the near future.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008407 Mast Cells Granulated cells that are found in almost all tissues, most abundantly in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. Like the BASOPHILS, mast cells contain large amounts of HISTAMINE and HEPARIN. Unlike basophils, mast cells normally remain in the tissues and do not circulate in the blood. Mast cells, derived from the bone marrow stem cells, are regulated by the STEM CELL FACTOR. Basophils, Tissue,Basophil, Tissue,Cell, Mast,Cells, Mast,Mast Cell,Tissue Basophil,Tissue Basophils
