Abstract

A differential effect of pregnancy on the growth of subcutaneous implants of four murine tumors has been observed. Two tumors lacking receptors for progesterone and estrogen [methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (MC-C) and spontaneous lymphoid leukemia (LB)] exhibited slow kinetics throughout the course of pregnancy, although inhibition was stronger beyond day 10. On the other hand, one of two tumors bearing receptors for progesterone and estrogen [medroxyprogesterone (MPA)-induced mammary adenocarcinoma (C7HI)] exhibited three phases: up to days 8-10 of gestation the tumor grew faster than in virgins, between days 8-10 and 15 it reached a plateau, and beyond day 15 a sharp reduction in tumor mass was observed. The other tumor [mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-induced mammary carcinoma(T2280)] behaved as a typical pregnancy-dependent tumor (i.e., it grew in pregnant but not in virgin mice, regressed soon after delivery, and reassumed its growth at the middle of a second round of pregnancy). Neither MPA nor estrogen affected MC-C and LB tumor growth. On the other hand, MPA-treated mice enhanced C7HI tumor and reciprocally C7HI tumor-bearing mice treated with estrogen strongly inhibited tumor growth. As for T2280, neither MPA nor estrogen alone could promote tumor growth and, in consequence, no tumor developed. However, when MPA plus estrogen was administered in a schedule simulating the successive appearance of these hormones in pregnancy, T2280 grew even faster than in pregnant mice. When the four tumors were implanted in mice bearing grafts of embryonal tissues (teratomas), all of them were inhibited. This antitumor effect was similar to that observed in pregnancy when tumors unresponsive to progesterone and estrogen were tested. On the other hand, with tumors bearing progesterone and estrogen receptors, differences in tumor growth were detected in pregnant and teratoma-bearing mice. This suggested the existence during pregnancy of two factors potentially acting on tumor growth. First, a progesterone and estrogen-mediated hormonal component, which would exert either inhibitory or stimulatory effects only evidenced with tumors bearing hormonal receptors. Secondly, an antitumor effect proportional to the growing embryonal mass, inhibiting all tumors independently of their origin or hormone responsiveness. This antitumor effect could be attributed to a beat-resistant serum factor (1,000-1,200 Da molecular weight) presumably associated with the pathway of the arachidonic acid metabolism. The interplay between the hormonal component and the serum factor associated with embryonal mass could account for some of the largely heterogeneous and otherwise unexplained effects of pregnancy on tumor growth reported in the literature and illustrated by the four tumors studied here.

32. Macrophages and Tumor Growth. II. Cell Kinetics at the Site of Allogeneic Tumor Growth

Abstract

The sponge matrix allograft model made possible the growth of an AKR lymphoma in a certain percentage of BALB/c mice making progressors (tumor-bearing) and regressors (tumor-rejecting) simultaneously available. Mice bearing either an AKR kidney allograft or a sponge alone were used as controls. The cell population infiltrating the sponge was evaluated 2, 5, 10, 15, and 21 days after subcutaneous implantation. It consisted of macrophages, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. There was no difference between groups on Day 2 and Day 5. From Day 10 onwards, tumor growth was evident with a clear cut separation between progressors and regressors. The latter behaved like the two control groups except for a significant increase in lymphocytes on Day 21. The progressors showed a striking increase in total cell count from Day 10 onwards. Macrophages were the major population with a maximum value of 201 X 106 as compared to 8 X 106 in the regressors; their phagocytic and lysosomal activity remained similar in all groups. The lymphocytes showed no variation in absolute numbers but, because of the high cell count in progressors, their ratio to macrophages reached 1:50 on Day 10, making up only 2% of the cell population. Neutrophils were significantly increased in progressors as compared with the other groups. It can be concluded that in the presence of a foreign body reaction a marked influx of macrophages accompanies allogeneic tumor growth.

33. STERILITY DUE TO RADIOACTIVE PHOSPHORUS IN MICE: A STUDY OF OVARIAN COMPENSATORY HYPERTROPHY

Author

Holmberg, E. A. D., Pasqualini, Christiane Dosne, and Rabasa, S. L.

Abstract

The administration of 60 μCi of 32P to pregnant BALB mice induced sterility in the offspring due to destruction of the gonads. The testes presented aspermatogenesis, trophic Leydig cells and normal secondary sex characteristics. The ovaries showed re-absorption of the primary and secondary follicles, absence of ovulation and progressive luteinization of the stroma, as well as atrophy of the uterus and dioestrus. Apart from the alteration in the pituitary feedback mechanism as a result of these gonadal lesions, a direct effect of 32P on the hypothalamic-hypophyseal axis was observed. In these animals the uptake of 32P by the hypothalamus was significantly lower than in normal or castrated controls. The compensatory hypertrophy of the ovary, 1 month after hemi-castration was significantly decreased. The intrarenal grafting of a normal ovary in a 32P-treated host led to lower compensatory hypertrophies than in normal hosts, as determined both 1 and 3 months after grafting. These results were obtained in female and male hosts of 1, 3 and 6 months of age, with transplanted ovaries aged 1, 3 and 6 months respectively. In all the groups, ovarian compensatory hypertrophy was higher in the male than in the female hosts, but the differences between 32P treated and normal hosts were more significant in the females. This difference persisted even when castration of the host was carried out 1 month before grafting of the ovary and when 32P was administered 1 day after removal of the gonads, thus eliminating any secondary effect. It can be concluded that the administration of 32P during foetal life, apart from causing lesions in the gonads, has a direct effect on the hypothalamus with subsequent alteration in the output of gonadotrophins.
