Abstract

A hyaluronectin (HN)-like antigen was found in rat O-2A progenitors and oligodendrocytes, as well as in Schwann cells and in their culture medium. The HN-like antigen secreted in culture supernatants had a higher molecular mass than HN extracted from rat brain at acidic pH. In vitro the secreted HN-like antigen was spontaneously and slowly degraded into species whose Mr was close to that of HN found in acidic brain extract. In brain or nerve neutral pH extracts, both HN-like antigen and HN were present. The high Mr of the secreted antigen, the homology in amino acid sequences between HN and N-terminal domain of PG-M/versican, in addition to a positive hybridization between Schwann cell RNAs and a probe obtained with primers derived from HN sequences also found in versican suggested that HN is closely related to the large proteoglycan PG-M/versican. The presence in Schwann cell extract of a HN mRNA whose Mr was compatible with the size expected for HN showed that HN may be directly secreted by cells and not only the consequence of a proteolytic cleavage. The similarity of HN with PG-M (V3) suggested that HN found in vivo could be the result of an alternative splicing of a single gene. We conclude that HN as other members of the PG-M/versican family is a marker of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells in culture.

Abstract

Hyaluronan (HYA) plays a particular role in cancer cell microenvironment. A component of the desmoplasia. HYA is associated to other macromolecules and contributes to the net structure of the matrix. Cancer cells exhibit binding sites (CD44, RHAMM) for HYA. The cell adhesion to HYA can influence the cell motility and different factors could interplay to facilitate cell detachment from HYA. HYA protects cancer cells against immune cell attack. Serum HYA is often increased in metastatic patients.

Abstract

Boronated antibodies have already been evaluated as agents in neutron capture therapy. Because the boronation procedure may alter the properties of the antibody it is important to study the immunoreactivity of the conjugated antibody before in vivo use. In our studies of two dextran-boronated monoclonal antibodies, anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody, and anti-hyaluronectin antibody, we have used ELISA and immunohistological methods to determine antibody activity and specificity. A ten-fold decrease in activity was observed for both antibodies in ELISA, and non-specific interactions were seen in both immunohistological and ELISA procedures. The boron compound used was shown to be at least partly responsible for these non-specific interactions.

Abstract

To approach the question of hyaluronan catabolism in tumours, we have selected the cancer cell line H460M, a highly metastatic cell line in the nude mouse. H460M cells release hyaluronidase in culture media at a high rate of 57 pU/cell/h, without producing hyaluronan. Hyaluronidase was measured in the H460M cell culture medium at the optimum pH 3.8, and was not found above pH 4.5, with the enzyme-linked sorbent assay technique and zymography. Tritiated hyaluronan was digested at pH 3.8 by cells or cell membranes as shown by gel permeation chromatography, but no activity was recorded at pH 7 with this technique. Hyaluronan was digested in culture medium by tumour slices, prepared from tumours developed in nude mice grafted with H460M cells, showing that hyaluronan could be digested in complex tissue at physiological pH. Culture of tumour slices with tritiated acetate resulted in the accumulation within 2 days of radioactive macromolecules in the culture medium. The radioactive macromolecular material was mostly digested by Streptomyces hyaluronidase, showing that hyaluronan was its main component and that hyaluronan synthesis occurred together with its digestion. These results demonstrate that the membrane-associated hyaluronidase of H460M cells can act in vivo, and that hyaluronan, which is synthesised by the tumour stroma, can be made soluble and reduced to a smaller size by tumour cells before being internalised and further digested.

Abstract

Hyaluronectin (HN), a glycoprotein which shows a strong specific affinity for Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a very high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan expressed in the stroma reaction of all tumours, was used to radiolocalize grafted autologous carcinomas (CB33 and CB03) in mice. After conjugation to DTPA (0.5-3.7 DTPA/HN) and radiolabelling with 111In (5 microCi/micrograms HN) HN retained 93% of its affinity for HA. Different preparations of HN purified from lamb brain were assayed. The best results were obtained when the HN molecules reactive with HA were selected by gel permeation to discard unreactive molecules which were unable to complex with HA. At 48 hours the tumour to blood ratio was 7.7 with a localization index of 2.2 in CB33; there was 2.8% uptake of the injected dose (ID) into CB33 and 1.6% into CB03. 111In-HN uptake per gram of tumour was tumour-size dependent: the smaller masses had the higher uptake. Tumours were visualized and either early images of 111In-HN distribution or simultaneous distribution images of 99mTc-phytate or 201Tl-DTPA were used for the subtraction treatments.

Abstract

A 55 year-old woman was admitted to hospital in January 1981 with transient expressive dysphasia. Past personal history was unremarkable except for a six-month history of renal colic and thrombophlebitis in the veins of the right leg. Computed tomographic scan of the head and carotid angiogram revealed a left calcified temporoparietal tumor. Because of pulmonary embolism it was decided to refute a cerebral biopsy. The patient also declined radiotherapy. In May 1983, a thorough workup revealed an incomplete fracture of the first lumbar vertebra and a diffuse demineralization of the rachis and pelvis. Four weeks later she developed temporal epilepsy and pulmonary embolism. A whole brain irradiation (60 Gy) was performed in August 1983. The patient's condition remained clinically stable until December 1984 when she was readmitted to hospital with a severe weight loss, diffuse osseous pain and pancytopenia. A bone marrow biopsy from the iliac crest showed a diffuse tumor involvement. Peroxidase-antiperoxidase staining using monoclonal antiserum to glial fibrillary acidic protein was strongly positive in numerous tumors cells. The pathological diagnosis was bone marrow metastasis by glioma. She died in March 1985, 4 years and 3 months after the first admission to hospital. Autopsy was not performed. A literature search reveals only 9 cases of extraneural spreading of astrocytomas and glioblastomas in the absence of previous craniotomy with post-mortem examination. The authors also comment on the clinical, pathological and histogenic aspects of extraneural metastasis of gliomas.

Abstract

The presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) was tested in biopsy or autopsy specimens of 207 human central nervous system tumors. Samples were fixed, paraffin-embedded and GFA was detected using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. The second part of this study dealt mainly with medulloblastomas and hemangioblastomas. Of the 17 cerebellar medulloblastomas, 15 contained less than 5% GFA positive cells. These were classified according to the Mannoji et al., 1981, criteria. Ten medulloblastomas contained type 1, 2 and 3 cells; 1 was composed of only type 1 cells, and 4 were composed of only type 3 cells. Of the 8 cerebellar or medullary hemangioblastomas, 3 contained only a few GFA positive cells which were, in two cases stroma cells and in another, astrocytes. GFA positive cells were found in 7 oligoastrocytomas, 3 gangliogliomas and 1 hamartoma of the hypothalamus. Similarly, a GFA positive astrocytic differentiation was found in a pineocytoma. In a case of tuberous sclerosis no GFA was found in the giant cells of cortical tubers. Nor was GFA observed in one intracerebral tumor of tuberous sclerosis. GFA was not found in 5 meningiomas, 4 oligodendrogliomas, 4 pituitary adenomas, 3 neurinomas of the VIII cranial nerve, 1 primary cerebellar malignant lymphoma, 1 familial lymphohistiocytosis with cerebellar involvement and 4 brain metastases. The authors also include diagnostic, histogenetic and nosological comments -about neuroglial tumors. The findings in the two parts of this study fail to establish a correlation between GFA positivity and histological grade of astrocytomas and glioblastomas.

Abstract

Splenic Mice cells immunized with glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were fused with SP 2/0 myeloma cells. After screening and cloning we obtained two types of hybridomas. Some of them secrete IgG class antibodies, the others IgM class antibodies. The specificity of these antibodies has been tested by three immunoenzymatic methods. The results are that IgG monoclonal antibodies identify an astrocyte-GFAP specific epitope and IgM monoclonal antibodies cross-react with a common epitope to GFAP and vimentin.

Abstract

G.F.A. (gliofibrillary acid protein) and hyaluronectin studied here are two antigens defined by the heteroantibodies which appear in the serum of the immunised animal. G.F.A. is associated with gliofilaments and is considered as an astrocyte marker, either normal or tumoral. Hyaluronectin, is found in the Ranvier nodes and at the periphery of neurones. It is not specific to the nervous system. It is found in all tissues and tumors, and in particular marks the intercellular spaces of gliomas, where it is associated with hyaluronic acid for which it has a great affinity. Serum estimation of these Proteins is being undertaken with the view to a clinical application.

Abstract

The presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) was tested in biopsy or autopsy specimens of 207 human central tumors. Samples were fixed, paraffin-embedded and GFA was detected using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technic. The first part of this study dealt mainly with glioblastomas (36 cases) and astrocytomas (87 cases). Tumors were classified in three categories according to their histological grade: 24 astrocytomas grade I and II, 63 astrocytomas grade III and IV and 36 glioblastomas (grade IV). For each of these tumors GFA positive cells were counted in 5 different fields using objectives of 2,5, 10 and 25. The results were as follows: less than 50% GFA positive cells were found in 22 out of 24 low grade astrocytomas, 49 out of 63 high grade astrocytomas and 32 out of 36 glioblastomas. Conversely, over 50% GFA positivity was found in 2 benign astrocytomas, 14 malignant astrocytomas and 4 glioblastomas. In 3 high grade tumors (2 astrocytomas, 1 glioblastoma) GFA positivity was found to be over 75%. Of the 17 ependymomas, 14 were GFA positive; however, no correlation could be established between the degree of GFA positivity and histological grade. The three papillomas of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles found in children were GFA negative. In adults, a GFA positive focus of ependymal differentiation was found in a papilloma of the choroid plexus in the posterior cerebral fossa.
