Cultural characteristics of a cell line derived from an equine sarcoid.

چکیده
A cell line, derived from a spontaneous equine connective tissue tumor (equine sarcoid), has been established. The morphological and growth characteristics indicative of malignant transformation of the cells include a disoriented, rapid growth and loss of contact inhibition. Further evidence of transformation is the agglutination of these cells by concanavalin A and their ability to divide in semisolid media.

Detection of tumor-specific antigens in an equine sarcoid cell line.
Indirect immunofluorescence and lymphocyte cytotoxicity experiments demonstrated the presence of a tumor-specific antigen(s) on the surface of cells from an equine sarcoid cell line (Mc1). Autologous serum (taken from the horse from which the Mc1 cells were derived) and sera from three other sarcoid-bearing horses revealed a similar membrane immunofluorescence when reacted with Mc1 cells, indic...
متن کاملO6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in equine sarcoids: molecular and epigenetic analysis
BACKGROUND Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) types 1 and 2 are the only known papillomaviruses able to jump the species. In fact, BPVs 1/2 induce neoplasia in their natural bovine host but infection is also associated to neoplastic skin lesions in equids termed sarcoids. The equine sarcoid is considered to be the most common equine cutaneous tumour worldwide for which no effective therapy is avail...
متن کاملEquine marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells: isolation, differentiation and culture optimization
Most studies regarding the marrow-derived equine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have mainly focusedon the cell transplantation without considering the capacity of differentiation and in vitro requirements of thecells. These concerns were investigated in the present study. Equine MSCs were isolated from the sternalmarrow aspirates and expanded through two successive subcultures. Passage-2 equine ...

متن کاملBAG3 protects Bovine Papillomavirus type 1-transformed equine fibroblasts against pro-death signals
In human cancer cells, BAG3 protein is known to sustain cell survival. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the expression of BAG3 protein both in equine sarcoids in vivo and in EqS04b cells, a sarcoid-derived fully transformed cell line harbouring bovine papilloma virus (BPV)-1 genome. Evidence of a possible involvement of BAG3 in equine sarcoid carcinogenesis was obtained by immunohistoch...
