Suppression of tumorigenicity in interspecific reconstituted cells and cybrids. 1982

M Koura, and H Isaka, and M C Yoshida, and M Tosu, and T Sekiguchi

The effect of cytoplasms on the expression of tumorigenicity was examined in interspecific reconstituted cells and cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) formed by fusions between karyoplasts (or intact cells) from highly tumorigenic mouse melanoma B16 cells and cytoplasts from non-tumorigenic, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (HGPRT)-deficient and chloramphenicol (CAP)-resistant rat myoblastic cells, L6TG X CAPr. The reconstituted clones and cybrid clones isolated in the double selection medium, HAT and CAP, acquired CAP-resistance, and each showed unique morphology and cellular arrangement. Tumorigenicity was suppressed in all the reconstituted clones and cybrid clones examined at an early stage after their isolation, but re-appeared in some clones after prolonged cultivation of the cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
