Enhanced expression of ELAM-1 on endothelium of renal cell carcinoma compared to the corresponding normal renal tissue

1999

Abstract Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been shown to respond to an immunological therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), which accumulate in RCC at a higher density than in normal renal tissue, suggesting that there is selective tumor invasion. Since invasion of TIL into the malignant tissue is mediated by adhesion molecules, we examined the different expression of the adhesion molecule endothelial-leukocyte-adhesion-molecule-1 (ELAM-1) on endothelial cells of RCC versus normal renal tissue. For a specific quantification, the level of ELAM-1 mRNA was investigated by both semi-quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) and Northern blot analysis and ref…

Differential inhibition of renal cancer cell invasion mediated by fibronectin, collagen IV and laminin.

2000

Invasion of tumor cells into the extracellular matrix is an essential step in the formation of metastases in renal cancer. Cell adhesion molecules such as beta(1)-integrins, which bind to the RGD sequence (arginine-glycine-asparagine) and CD44 are involved in this process. We examined the invasion of a renal carcinoma cell line (CCF-RC1) into the extracellular matrix compounds fibronectin, collagen IV and laminin and the effect of TGFbeta and IFNgamma on this process. The inhibitory effect of an antibody against the beta(1)-subunit of integrins (CD29), as well as a pentapeptide including the RGD sequence, was also evaluated. A micro-chemotaxis chamber, including a polycarbonate membrane wit…

Sigma-rectum pouch (Mainz pouch II).

1993

A substantial modification of the classic technique of ureterosigmoidostomy is introduced in this article. To date, this procedure has been used in 47 patients. This article reviews the surgical technique of the antemesenterial splitting of the intestine at the recto-sigmoid junction which creates a pouch by subsequent side-to-side anastomosis.
