[DNA levels in the cell nuclei of nervous system tumors induced by ethylnitrosourea]. 1984

A S Khalanskiĭ, and L Ia Iablonovskaia, and L I Kondakova, and Iu E Morozov

Distribution of DNA in cells of 28 primary ethylnitrosourea-induced tumours of the rat nervous system was studied by the Feulgen cytophotometry method. Out of them 20 had paradiploid DNA quantity, 3 tumours--hypodiploid and 4--hyperdiploid content of DNA. A high heterogeneity of the DNA quantity and the absence of expressed modal class were found only in one case. No correlation is found between the DNA distribution in gliomas and the stage of their malignancy.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009423	Nervous System Neoplasms	Benign and malignant neoplastic processes arising from or involving components of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, cranial nerves, and meninges. Included in this category are primary and metastatic nervous system neoplasms.

D011003	Ploidies	The degree of replication of the chromosome set in the karyotype.	Ploidy
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D011297	Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects	The consequences of exposing the FETUS in utero to certain factors, such as NUTRITION PHYSIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA; PHYSIOLOGICAL STRESS; DRUGS; RADIATION; and other physical or chemical factors. These consequences are observed later in the offspring after BIRTH.	Delayed Effects, Prenatal Exposure,Late Effects, Prenatal Exposure
D004273	DNA, Neoplasm	DNA present in neoplastic tissue.	Neoplasm DNA
D005038	Ethylnitrosourea	A nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties.	Nitrosoethylurea,N-Ethyl-N-nitrosourea,N Ethyl N nitrosourea
D005260	Female		Females
D005910	Glioma	Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014278	Trigeminal Nuclei	Nuclei of the trigeminal nerve situated in the brain stem. They include the nucleus of the spinal trigeminal tract (TRIGEMINAL NUCLEUS, SPINAL), the principal sensory nucleus, the mesencephalic nucleus, and the motor nucleus.
