Secretion granules of transplantable pancreatic acinar carcinoma of rat.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Secretion granules of the rat transplantable pancreatic acinar carcinoma and of normal rat pancreas were isolated by differential centrifugation. Analysis of the granule content by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing procedures combined with specific enzyme assays indicated essential qualitative similarities between normal and neoplastic secretory proteins, suggesting retention of enzymic differentiation in this pancreatic acinar carcinoma. Accordingly, this epithelial tumor should serve as an important model for examination of regulatory mechanisms in cell differentiation and neoplasia.

Duct-like morphogenesis of Longnecker pancreatic acinar carcinoma cells maintained in vitro on seminiferous tubular basement membranes.
We have investigated the behavior of dissociated cells of a moderately differentiated Longnecker transplantable pancreatic acinar carcinoma (Longnecker et al., Cancer Lett., 7: 197-202, 1979) maintained in vitro on acellular seminiferous tubular basement membranes of rat testis. The tumor cells, which grow as solid masses in vivo with little organization, undergo organogenesis in vitro into dis...

The rates of [35S]sulfate incorporation in highly differentiated acinar cells from normal pancreas, moderately differentiated cells of nafenopin-induced transplantable pancreatic carcinoma, and poorly differentiated cells from azaserine-induced transplantable pancreatic carcinoma were examined in an attempt to determine if sulfation is a property of acinar cells with well-developed secretory gr...

An acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas, which was induced in a male Wistar rat by repeated injections of azaserine, was propagated in cell culture. Sheets of epithelial-like cells grew within 2 weeks and were subcultured serially. Initially acinar cell carcinoma in the culture medium produced a high level of amylase, but the secretion ceased rapidly as cells began to proliferate. Only neglig...
متن کاملDifferentiation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in acinar carcinoma of rat pancreas.
Analysis of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in pancreatic acinar carcinoma of rat by measurement of N-[methyl-3H]scopolamine binding has revealed a single homogenous population of muscarinic receptors in the tumor. The plasmalemma density (approximately 25 receptors/micron 2 of cell membrane surface) and dissociation constant (approximately 0.4 nM) of muscarinic receptors in acinar carcinoma c...
متن کاملSeparation and characterization of neoplastic cell subpopulations of a transplantable rat pancreatic acinar carcinoma.
The transplantable pancreatic acinar carcinoma established in F344 rats demonstrates heterogeneity of cytodifferentiation with cell types ranging from those containing no zymogen granules to cells with mature zymogen differentiation. Two relatively homogeneous subpopulations of cells have been isolated by isopyknic Percoli gradient centrifugation from the heterogeneous cell population of this t...
