CHARACTERIZATION OF A NEW RAT CELL LINE ESTABLISHED FROM 2′AAF-INDUCED COMBINED HEPATOCELLULAR CHOLANGIOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
2001
A rat cell line-nominated CC-62 derived from a combined hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinoma obtained by administration of 2-acetylaminofluorene to male Wistar rats, has been established. Using light and electron microscopy it was determined that morphologically the tumor consisted of a mixed population of hepatocytes and cholangiolar neoplastic cells, intermingled with small, undifferentiated oval-like cells. The CC-62 line has been maintained through 90 passages in culture adopting a paving stone arrangement. Doubling time at the 12th passage was 23 h. Immunostaining with a panel of antisera was performed to identify the cytological profiles of the cell line. There was no k-ras …
Cytogenetic analysis of three primary Bellini duct carcinomas.
1996
Three Bellini duct carcinomas (BDC) of the kidney were cytogenetically analyzed after short-term culture. All three had clonal chromosome abnormalities: 91-92,XXY,-Y, +12, +12, -15, -16, -18, +mar (case 1); 53,XY, +2,t(2;7)(p22;q11), +der (2)t (2;7)(p22;q11), +3, +r(3),add(5)(p15), +7, -8, +12, +17, +r(17), +20, -21 (case 2); and 44-47,X,-Y, +9, +16, -21/46,XY. Some of the numerical abnormalities are shared with papillary renal cell carcinomas (PRCC)(+7, +12, +16, +17, and +20) but not with transitional renal cell carcinomas. The present findings support the previous notion that BDC are different from other types of RCC.
A singular case of near-haploid stemline karyotype in a renal oncocytoma.
1996
Cytogenetic analysis of a human renal oncocytoma revealed a near-haploid chromosome number of 36 with the loss of chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 15, 17, 21, and 22. Review of the literature disclosed that this cytogenetic configuration is extremely rare in solid human tumors and that no renal oncocytomas with near-haploid stemline karyotype have been described. These results are compared with the other published cases of oncocytoma.
Renal Oncocytomas (Typical and Atypical Variants): A Pathologic, Immunohistochemical, Morphometric, and Flow Cytometric Differential Study of 14 Case…
1996
Eight conventional and six atypical oncocytomas in a series of 147 renal neoplasms were studied. Histopathologic findings revealed exclusively oncocytic cells, but cellular polymorphism was higher in the atypical tumors. Atypical oncocytomas presented focal necrosis, transcapsular invasion, or both. Electron microscopy showed similar findings in all cases. Immunohistochemistry of atypical oncocytomas had higher expression against proliferating cell nuclear antigen and more discontinuous immunostaining against laminin than typical ones. Flow cytometry revealed one or two aneuploid peaks in five typical and two atypical cases, although the latter had a higher proliferative fraction than typi…
