| Abstract |
Basically, dendritic cell-derived sarcomas are characterized by expression of major histocompatibility complex class-II molecules, but the biological properties of the tumor cells remain to be elucidated. Recently, we established a novel transplantable cell line (KB-D8) from a dendritic cell sarcoma found in an F344 rat. In the present study, we investigated immunophenotypical changes of KB-D8 tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) appearing in relation to tumor development in syngeneic F344 rats. A number of neoplastic cells in 0.5-cm-diameter KB-D8 tumors showed immunoreactions to OX6 (specific for rat antigen-presenting cells), ED1 (for rat exudate macrophages), and ED2 (for rat resident macrophages), and 72% and 11% of the OX6+ cells were double-immunostained with ED1 and ED2, respectively. Interestingly, the immunoreactions to these antibodies were gradually reduced with increasing size of KB-D8 tumors of 1-, 2-, and 3-cm diameter. These findings indicated that immunophenotypes of dendritic cell-derived sarcomas may be changeable depending on microenvironmental conditions in vivo. Many TAMs seen outside KB-D8 tumors reacted to OX6, ED1, and ED2; the numbers of TAMs immunopositive for these antibodies also decreased as the tumor grew. Similarly, the earlier temporary increase and subsequent gradual decrease in ED2+ and OX6+ cell numbers were observed in the spleen and liver of KB-D8-bearing rats. The reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction showed mRNA expressions of granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor, monocyte-chemoattractant protein-1, and osteopontin in KB-D8 tumor tissues. Although the functional roles (biphasic roles: suppressing or promoting) of these factors should be investigated further in relation to tumor development, the factors might be partially responsible for the TAM reactions. KB-D8 would be a useful experimental model to investigate the biological characteristics of dendritic cell sarcomas and tumor immunology in the host. |
