Heat sensitivity and membrane properties of metastasizing and non-metastasizing rat mammary tumors. 1987

M B Yatvin, and J W Vorpahl, and S K Ghosh, and U Kim, and C E Elson

Paired lines of metastasizing and non-metastasizing transplantable rat mammary tumors were studied for their sensitivity to hyperthermia. The metastasizing TMT-081 and SMT-2A tumors were markedly more sensitive to heat injury as measured by tumor growth delay than were their non-metastatic counterparts MT-100 and MT-W9B. The metastasizing MT-081 tumor was also significantly more sensitive than the SMT-2A tumor. The differences in heat sensitivity were not the result of differences in intra-tumor temperatures attained during water bath heating. A more likely explanation for the variable response obtained with these tumors after heat treatment may be the inherent differences in stability and composition of their cellular membranes, particularly the plasma membrane.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

It is most often induced by radiation (heat waves, infra-red), ultrasound, or drugs. Fever Therapy,Hyperthermia, Local,Hyperthermia, Therapeutic,Thermotherapy,Induced Hyperthermia,Therapeutic Hyperthermia,Therapy, Fever,Local Hyperthermia
D007425 Intracellular Membranes Thin structures that encapsulate subcellular structures or ORGANELLES in EUKARYOTIC CELLS. They include a variety of membranes associated with the CELL NUCLEUS; the MITOCHONDRIA; the GOLGI APPARATUS; the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM; LYSOSOMES; PLASTIDS; and VACUOLES. Membranes, Intracellular,Intracellular Membrane,Membrane, Intracellular
D007866 Leg The inferior part of the lower extremity between the KNEE and the ANKLE. Legs
D008325 Mammary Neoplasms, Experimental Experimentally induced mammary neoplasms in animals to provide a model for studying human BREAST NEOPLASMS. Experimental Mammary Neoplasms,Neoplasms, Experimental Mammary,Experimental Mammary Neoplasm,Mammary Neoplasm, Experimental,Neoplasm, Experimental Mammary
D008560 Membrane Fluidity The motion of phospholipid molecules within the lipid bilayer, dependent on the classes of phospholipids present, their fatty acid composition and degree of unsaturation of the acyl chains, the cholesterol concentration, and temperature. Bilayer Fluidity,Bilayer Fluidities,Fluidities, Bilayer,Fluidities, Membrane,Fluidity, Bilayer,Fluidity, Membrane,Membrane Fluidities
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation. Cell Membrane Lipid,Cell Membrane Lipids,Membrane Lipid,Lipid, Cell Membrane,Lipid, Membrane,Lipids, Cell Membrane,Lipids, Membrane,Membrane Lipid, Cell,Membrane Lipids, Cell
D009362 Neoplasm Metastasis The transfer of a neoplasm from one organ or part of the body to another remote from the primary site. Metastase,Metastasis,Metastases, Neoplasm,Metastasis, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Metastases,Metastases
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm
D009368 Neoplasm Transplantation Experimental transplantation of neoplasms in laboratory animals for research purposes. Transplantation, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Transplantations,Transplantations, Neoplasm
