Augmentation of mammary tumors in castrated obese C3H mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimentally obese virgin female C3H mice showed a more marked increase and an earlier incidence of mammary tumors than did normal (weight) controls. When castrated, such animals showed a decrease in tumorigenesis, below that of unoperated obese animals or mice of normal weight. However, such obese castrated animals demonstrated a tumor incidence significantly greater than normal weight, castrated mice which were totally devoid of tumors.

The relationship of the inherited hormonal influence to the production of adrenal cortical tumors by castration.
The work of Loeb (21, 22), Cori (6, 9) and Murray (23, 24) demonstrated that ovariectomy of mice in certain stocks at an early age was associated with a reduction in incidence of spontaneous mammary tumors. Hyperplasia and/or adenoma of the adrenal cortical cells in castrated male and female mice was later described in several inbred stocks (dba, ce, C3H, CBA, NH, Balb) (13, 14, 27, 29). The al...
متن کاملIncorporation of 32P into nucleic acids in mammary tissue of mice susceptible and resistant to breast cancer.
Incorporation of 32p into RNA and DNA fractions of mammary and tumor tissue was studied in virgin C3H mice, which are susceptible to the development of breast cancer. Virgin C57BL mice, which are resistant to the development of breast cancer, were the controls. Virgin C3H and C57BL mice, 4 and a months old, and tumor-bearing C3H mice were used as the experimental groups. The incorporation of 32...
متن کاملVirus oncogenesis and tumor immunogenicity in the mouse mammary tumor system.
Mammary tumorigenesis and mammary tumor trans plantation immunogenicity were examined in breeding fe males of 2 syngeneic sublines of the C3H strain: in mammary tumor virus (MTV) plus nodule-inducing virusinfected C3H/Sed mice; and in MTV-free, nodule-inducing virus-infected C3Hf/Sed mice. Ninety-seven % of the C3H mice (29 of 30) developed mammary tumors at an average age of 280 days. Of 43 di...
متن کاملMammary tumorigenesis and tumor morphology in four C3H sublines with or without exogenous mammary tumor virus.
Mammary tumorigenesis was surveyed in retired breeding females in four sublines of the C3H strain: in standard milk-transmitted early oncogenic mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-infected C3H/He and C3H/Ki mice, and in standard milk-transmitted early oncogenic MMTV free C3Hf/He and C3Hf/Ki mice. All of 58 C3H/Ki mice and 98% (306 of 309) of the C3H/He mice developed palpable mammary tumors at ave...
متن کاملGenetics of mouse mammary tumor virus-induced mammary tumors: linkage of tumor induction to the gag gene.
Retroviruses are believed to induce tumors by acting as insertional mutagens that activate expression of cellular protooncogenes. Indeed, almost 90% of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-induced mammary tumors in C3H/He mice show upregulation of Int protooncogenes. We have analyzed three different MMTV variants [MMTV(C3H), MMTV(HeJ), and a genetically engineered MMTV hybrid provirus (HP)] for tum...
