[A comparative study of the action of liver extracts from C57Bl and CBA mice on hepatocyte adhesion].

The adhesiometric methods were used for the investigation of influence of the preparations extracted from liver of CBA mice, predisposed to spontaneous blastomogenesis, and stable C57BL mice on cell adhesion. The extraction was carried out at 4 degrees C or 20 degrees C under condition of Ca2(+)-deficiency, so four preparations were investigated. The differences in adhesive activity between these liver preparations of two mouse lines were determined. The influence of the liver extracts (20 degrees C) from C57BL and CBA mice on cell adhesion was different. These preparations from C57BL mice contained the cell surface and membrane connected adhesion factors. The liver extracts (4 degrees C) from C57BL mice contained the cell surface adhesion factors influenced adhesive properties of hepatocytes under condition of cell surface preservation, and acted only on hepatocytes of C57BL mice. Our results concluded that, first, there were different adhesion factors extracted at 4 degrees C and 20 degrees C in liver preparations from C57BL mice; second, there was the strong change in cell surface of CBA mouse hepatocytes.

Effect of mercurascan and tetracycline on ischaemia-altered immunogenicity of liver extract alloantigens in mice.

The action of Mercurascan and Tetracycline on ischaemic liver in mice was investigated. The effect was reflected in different immunogenicity (in allotrasplantation reaction) of liver extracts 1 mg. membrane fraction) derived from treated and normal organs in the donor--recipient strain combination B10--B10.LP. In the recipients treated with a single administration of extract from ischaemic liver the survival time of skin grafts was shortened as compared to the untreated control group and the control group given normal liver extract. Immunogenicity of the liver extracts from Mercurascan- or Tetracycline-treated mice was diminished.

[Inhibition of the incorporation of tritiated thymidine in fetal rat liver in cell culture by a fractioned liver extract].

A dialyzed rat liver extract has been chromatographed on "Sephadex G 25" and then on "Sephadex G 50". Thus we found a fraction which inhibits the incorporation of tritiated thymidine and stimulates the incorporation of labelled orotic acid into foetal rat liver cells in culture, but has no effect on DNA synthesis in cell lines derived from lymphocytes and fibroblasts.

Haptotactic migration of pancreatic cancer cells induced by bioactive components in bovine liver extract.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Migration into subendothelial tissue in remote organ by cancer cells are crucial events for organ-specific metastasis, including liver metastasis. This study aims to investigate the chemoattractive ingredients in liver extract, which induce migration of liver metastatic cancer cells. METHODS: Cell migrations of SU.86.86 cells, human pancreatic cancer cells raised from liver metastasis, toward the bovine liver extract were studied by chemotaxis or haptotaxis assay. Bovine liver extract was partially purified by chromatographic or gel elutriation method. RESULTS: The soluble fraction of the liver extract did not induce chemotactic migration of SU.86.86 cells. However, the insoluble fraction induced a remarkable haptotactic migratory response. C18 column unbound insoluble fractions eluted from SDS-PAGE induced chemotactic migration of SU.86.86 cells. CONCLUSION: Such bioactive components in liver extract may play an important role in the development of liver metastasis.
