Organ culture of normal and carcinogen-treated rat bladder.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system for organ culture of rat bladder in defined medium, without serum, is described. Transitional epithelial morphology of normal bladder was well maintained in Waymouth's Medium MB 752/1, while Ham's Medium F12 caused marked epithelial hyperplasia. Hyperplastic epithelial states induced by in vivo administration of the carcinogen, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, were well maintained in vitro during organ culture in Medium MB 752/1. The combination of hydrocortisone and insulin markedly inhibited the proliferative response of normal bladder epithelium grown in Medium F12.

Carcinogen-induced Drug Resistance in Rat Hepatocytes1
The relative resistance of liver cells in primary monolayer cell culture to the cytocidal effects of methotrexate, Adriamycin, cycloheximide, or aflatoxin Bi was studied using cells derived from normal rats, rats subjected to two-thirds hepatectomy, or rats fed dietary carcinogen. Normal rat liver cells were highly sensitive to the toxic effects of methotrexate, Adriamycin, cycloheximide, and a...
متن کاملOrgan specificity of the bladder carcinogen 4-aminobiphenyl in inducing DNA damage and mutation in mice.
Aromatic amines are a widespread class of environmental contaminants present in various occupational settings and tobacco smoke. Exposure to aromatic amines is a major risk factor for bladder cancer development. The etiologic involvement of aromatic amines in the genesis of bladder cancer is attributable to their ability to form DNA adducts, which upon eluding repair and causing mispairing duri...
متن کاملMetabolism and Binding of Benzo(a)pyrene and 2-Acetylaminofluorene by Short-Term Organ Cultures of Human and Rat Bladder1
The ability of organ cultures of normal human and rat bladder to metabolize the polycyclic hydrocarbon, benzo(a)pyrene (BP), and the arylamine, 2-acetylaminofluorene, has been stud ied. Cultures were maintained for 0 to 6 days in a chemically defined medium before incubation with [3H]BP (0.3 to 0.5 ¿IM) or 2-pC]acetylaminofluorene (18 to 25 ¡ÕM) for 24 hr. Ethyl acetate-soluble and water-sol...
متن کاملEnhancement of rat urinary bladder tumorigenesis by lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation.
Chronic inflammation of the urinary tract is a significant risk factor for the development of urinary bladder cancer in humans. We previously demonstrated that weekly treatment with killed Escherichia coli enhanced rat urinary bladder tumorigenesis initiated by the carcinogen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea. We conducted the present study to determine whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major cell wall ...
متن کاملEffect of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Pycnocycla spinosa on Rat Isolated Bladder Contraction
Hydroalcoholic extract of Pycnocycla spinosa is a relaxant of rat ileum and inhibits diarrhea in mice. As P. spinosa extract has spasmolytic activity on ileum, it could also affect other smooth muscles like bladder. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of P. spinosa extract on rat bladder contraction. In an in vitro study, the effects of P. spinosa extract, nifedipine ...
