Development of a xenograft glioma model in mouse brain.
Xenograft intracerebral glioma models have been developed in normal mice by growing the rat C6 glioma in either adult or neonatal mouse brains. Using this tumor line it was possible to grow discrete intracerebral gliomas in either CBA or AKR adult mice or neonatal mice. The size of the tumor mass and length of survival was directly related to the number of tumor cells injected and the time afte...
متن کاملIL-6 is required for the development of Th1 cell-mediated murine colitis.
Proinflammatory cytokines have been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. Among those cytokines, strong expression of IL-6 has been repeatedly demonstrated. To examine the role for IL-6 in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, we introduced anti-IL-6R mAb to a murine model of colitis. Colitis was induced in C.B-17-scid mice transferred with CD45RBhigh CD4+ T...
متن کاملIL-6 transgenic mouse model for extraosseous plasmacytoma.
Plasma cell neoplasms in humans comprise plasma cell myeloma, otherwise known as multiple myeloma, Ig deposition and heavy chain diseases, and plasmacytoma (PCT). A subset of PCT, designated extramedullary PCT, is distinguished from multiple myeloma and solitary PCT of bone by its distribution among various tissue sites but not the bone marrow. Extramedullary (extraosseus) PCT are rare spontane...
متن کاملSustained IL-12 signaling is required for Th1 development.
STAT4 is an essential transcription factor for Th1 cell development. IL-12 and IFN-alpha both activate STAT4, but with different kinetics. In this study we compared their capacities to drive differentiation of human naive Th cells toward the Th1 phenotype. The Th1-polarizing activity of IFN-alpha was much weaker than that of IL-12, correlating with a marked difference in the kinetics of STAT4 a...
متن کاملOncogene interactions are required for glioma development and progression as revealed by a tissue specific transgenic mouse model
The aggressive and invasive nature of brain tumors has hampered progress in the design and implementation of efficacious therapies. The recent success of targeted therapies in other tumor types makes this an attractive area for research yet complicating matters is the ability of brain tumors to circumvent the targeted pathways to develop drug resistance. Effective therapies will likely need to ...
