[Osteosarcoma: biochemical and endocrinological studies as a basis for its pathogenetic treatments].

The paper considers data of the long-term studies of androgen metabolism, baseline serum levels of reproductive steroid hormones and their receptors in the tumor, in the blood concentrations of sex steroid-binding globulin and pituitary hormones, the expression of epidermal growth factor, its receptors and ligands, soluble Fas-antigen, vascular endothelial growth factor, angiogenin, and the content of calmodulin, cAMP in the osteosarcoma in 300 patients aged 14 to 56 years, which were made at the N. N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Analyzing the findings identified some lines in the study of new pathogenetic treatments for osteosarcoma, aimed at regulating androgen metabolism, correcting the cyclooxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid, the expression of receptors of epidermal growth factor and its ligands, the processes of neoangiogenesis in the tumor. A role of the above parameters in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma is discussed.

[Expression of the apoptosis inhibitor soluble Fas antigen in patients with malignant and benign bone neoplasms].

This paper presents results of comparative enzyme immunoassay of soluble serum Fas antigen (sFas) in 98 patients with benign and malignant bone tumors, 15 patients with mechanical bone traumas, and 60 normal individuals of compatible age. The prevalence and concentration of sFas were significantly greater in patients with bone tumors than in normal donors and patients with mechanical bone traumas. The association of sFas with the pathogenesis of primary bone tumors is discussed in the paper.

[Cranial bone neoplasm in early triassic amphibia].

A neoplasm in cranial bone of an early Triassic amphibian has been investigated. Although no tissue has survived, the cranial flat bone is similar to that in living animals of the same class. Evidence is presented in support of a hypothesis that the neoplasm is a skeletal tumor which consists of non-functional bone and looks like an atypical tumorous bone of skeletal origin. It was identified as a parostotic osteosarcoma on the basis of macro- and microscopic and X-ray examination.

[Epidermal growth factor receptors in malignant and benign tumors in children].

The radioligand technique was used to study the amount of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) in malignant and benign tumors in 32 children aged 8 months to 17 years. The membranous fraction of 11 of the 32 tumors studied showed EGFR equal to 10.1 to 1327 fmol/mg (163.0 +/- 117.5 fmol/mg, median 38.0 fmol/mg). The greatest amount of EGFR was found in breast fibroadenomas. There was no clear relationship of the frequency and level of EGFR expression to a nosological tumor entity in children. A possible role of the EGFR system in tumors in children is discussed.

[Sex and pituitary hormone secretion in normal-height and tall adolescents with primary osteogenic sarcoma].

The paper deals with a comparison of basal levels of secretion of total testosterone (T) and estradiol-17 beta (E2), their free and albumin and sex-steroid-binding globulin fractions as well as LH, FSH, prolactin and STH in blood serum of 60 normal height and 60 tall healthy adolescents and those with primary osteogenic sarcoma of bones at different stages of puberty. The study established a significantly higher level of testosterone and free androgen index and a lowered concentration of sex-steroid-binding globulin in blood serum of both normal and tall adolescent patients with osteogenic sarcoma at different stages of puberty. No significant differences were found in said indexes of estrogens between sarcoma patients and a specific group chosen for comparison, as far as physical status is concerned. The role of sex steroid hormones and, particularly, that of androgens in the pathogenetical mechanisms of osteogenic sarcoma growth is discussed.

[The characteristics of eicosanoid synthesis in osteogenic sarcoma in children at puberty].

Levels of prostaglandin E (PGE), prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostacyclin A2, thromboxan B2 and leucotriene B4 assayed radioimmunologically were compared in 42 samples of osteogenic sarcoma and 22 samples of benign tumors and tumor-like lesions from children at the pubertal period. In osteogenic sarcoma samples, PGE and prostaglandin F2 alpha levels were higher than those of thromboxan B2, prostacyclin A2 and leucotriene B4. Osteogenic sarcoma revealed higher levels of the eicosanoids as compared to benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the bone. An inverse correlation was established between PGE level and time of dissemination of osteogenic sarcoma. The role of eicosanoids in the pathogenesis of growth and dissemination of osteogenic sarcoma is discussed. The use of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs in complex treatment of osteogenic sarcoma of children at the pubertal period is suggested.

[Induction of stromal cell transformation in xenografts of human colonic cancer].

Two transformed stromal cell lines FM-7 and FR-7 were obtained from human xenografts of colon tumor (HCT-7), propagated in nude mice and nude rats, respectively. These two cell lines were confirmed to be murine and rat's by a cytogenetic study and were tumourigenic in BALB/c nude mice with the morphology of fibrosarcoma. Human DNA sequences were not detected by hybridization with pBlur8 probe in DNA of FR-7 cell line grown in vitro. These results indicate that human cancer cells from xenograft HCT-7 can induce malignancy in adjacent normal cells of nude mice and nude rats in the absence of DNA transfer.
