Ultrastruct and biochemical chantes in cultured human malignant melanoma cells after heterotransplantation into nude mice. 1976

C Aubert, and E Chirieceanu, and C Foa, and H Rorsman, and E Rosengren, and F Rougé

Cells from three lines of cultured human malignant melanomas were heterotransplanted into nude mice and then recultered. The shape of the cells, the aspect of the melanosomes, and the content of 5-S-cyteinyldopa showed pronounced changes induced by the transplantation. Such results indicate that this experimental model should be used with great caution. A relationship was found between the shape of the melanosomes and the content of 5-S-cysteinyldopa in 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.

D002875 Chromosomes In a prokaryotic cell or in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a structure consisting of or containing DNA which carries the genetic information essential to the cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Chromosome
D003548 Cysteinyldopa Found in large amounts in the plasma and urine of patients with malignant melanoma. It is therefore used in the diagnosis of melanoma and for the detection of postoperative metastases. Cysteinyldopa is believed to be formed by the rapid enzymatic hydrolysis of 5-S-glutathionedopa found in melanin-producing cells. 5-S-Cysteinyldopa,5 S Cysteinyldopa

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.
