    Notes: Abstract Background: Expression of individual oncogenes may predict outcome in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). We studied the oncogene profile in the tumors of patients with CRC and assessed their value as predictors of liver metastases. Methods: The oncoproteins c-myc, c-erbB-2/neu (c-neu), PCNA and p53, were measured by immunohistochemistry in sections of metastasizing human CRC (n=34) and their liver secondaries as well as in sections of nonmetastasizing CRC (n=25). Results: The metastasizing primary CRC expressed proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), c-neu, and c-myc at significantly higher levels than the nonmetastasizing primary cancer. p53 was also overexpressed in the metastatic group compared with the nonmetastasizing CRC, but this difference was not significant. The frequency of expression of all these markers was similar in the metastasizing primary CRC and the liver secondaries from the same patients. There was no correlation between the expression of the individual markers and histological grade, DNA ploidy, and subsequent local recurrence and lung metastasis and survival. However, when both groups were assessed together, positive expression of c-myc was more likely to occur in poorly differentiated tumors, whereas PCNA expression increased with more advanced Dukes stages. Conclusion: These results suggest that the overexpression of c-myc, c-neu, PCNA, and p53 may occur in CRC that are likely to metastasise to the liver.

    Notes: Abstract. The function and prognostic significance of the nm23 gene is controversial in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to determine if nm23 protein expression correlated with the subsequent development of liver metastasis. Paraffin-embedded sections of 30 metastasizing CRC primaries and their subsequently resected liver secondaries were compared with those of 28 nonmetastasizing CRCs, 20 adenomas, and 20 cases of normal colonic mucosa. Expression of nm23 protein, assayed by immunohistochemistry, was measured using a standard semiquantitative scaling system and compared with a microcomputer-based color video image analysis (VIA). There was good correlation between color VIA and semiquantitative evaluation of nm23 immunoreactivity, confirming the validity of quantitative analysis (Pearson’s r = 0.88; p 〈 0.001). Metastasizing CRC primaries and secondaries overexpressed nm23 protein when compared with the other clinical groups, particularly nonmetastasizing CRC (Student’s t -test, p 〈 0.001). Furthermore, more nm23 immunoreactivity was associated with a higher risk of death from CRC (log-rank test, p = 0.002). These results suggest that overexpression of nm23 is highly associated with liver metastases from CRC and reduced survival.

    Notes: Abstract A monoclonal antibody, BLCA-8, was raised against the human bladder cancer cell line, UCRU-BL-17CL. By flow cytometry and immunoperoxidase staining, this antibody was found to possess high specificity for bladder tumours, some reactivity with fetal tissues, and no reactivity with normal bladder, or any normal or malignant tissue. This high specificity and the stability of the antigen to the urinary environment suggest that BLCA-8 may have potential for use as an anti-bladder-cancer therapeutic agent. By thin-layer chromatography and autoradiography, BLCA-8 was found to bind four components within the neutral lipid fraction of a bladder cancer cell line, UCRU-BL-17/23α. These components hadR F values of 0.22, 0.16/0.15 (doublet), 0.12 and 0.08, and migrated below globoside, indicating the presence of more than four sugars. By enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay and thin-layer chromatography it was found that the binding of BLCA-8 to the lipid extract was increased by both mild alkaline hydrolysis and enzymatic treatments, indicating that adjacent phospholipids and glycolipids interfere with the accessibility of the antibody-binding site. Full biochemical characterisation of the BLCA-8 antigen is currently underway.

    Notes: Abstract. Using assays based on the inhibition of restriction enzyme cleavage of plasmid and synthetic DNA, the complex (2-amino-2-methyl-3-butanone oxime)dichloroplatinum(II), [PtCl2(ambo)], has been shown to have an increased tendency for binding to adenine-rich sequences when compared to cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] (cisplatin). [PtCl2(ambo)] was found to form substantially fewer interstrand adducts than does cisplatin. The in vitro cytotoxicity of [PtCl2(ambo)] against a human bladder cancer cell line was determined and found to be more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of cisplatin, yet it was also found to be equally effective at passing into cells and binding to isolated DNA.
