Enhancement of clonal proliferation of mouse mast cells by a tumor-promoting phorbol ester. 1984

H Saito, and Y Sanai, and H Nakamura, and N Watanabe, and T Ito, and Y Nagai

Mast cell colonies grew in methylcellulose when mouse spleen cells were cultured for 14 days in the presence of medium conditioned by concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and phorbol-12,13-didecanoate, enhanced the concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cell-conditioned medium-induced colony growth of mast cell progenitors. The effect of TPA on this colony growth was blocked by the addition of two antipromoters of experimental skin carcinogenesis, i.e., retinoic acid and dexamethasone. These results show that TPA has the ability to enhance the clonal proliferation of mouse mast cells and that this effect of TPA is closely related to tumor-promoting activity.

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
