- W2405967570 abstract "Although the morphology of neural tumors induced in rats by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (NEU) and related alkylating agents has been extensively investigated, their histogenesis and the molecular basis of malignant transformation are still largely unknown. This review gives an account of the interaction of neurocarcinogenic agents with cellular DNA, the possible role of promutagenic O6-alkyldcoxyguanines and their deficient repair by the cerebral O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase. A new experimental model is described in which neural tumors are induced in fetal brain transplants. Pregnant rats received a single iv dose of NEU (50 mg/kg) on the 14th day of gestation. One day later, suspensions were prepared from the fetal forebrain and stereotactically injected into the caudoputamen of adult rats. After additional exposure to NEU of the host animals 8 days and 9 weeks post transplantation, all rats developed brain tumors within the neural graft. Histopathologically, all neoplasms were classified as oligodendrogliomas. Other neoplasms typically induced by NEU transplacentally (astrocytomas, mixed gliomas, ependymomas) were absent. The selective induction of oligodendrogliomas indicates that neoplastic transformation in the nervous system can occur in a differentiated glial cell or a precursor cell committed to oligodendrocytic differentiation, and that transformation of a pluripotential stem cell is not necessary. Transplacental exposure of the donor fetuses to NEU alone, i.e., without additional postgrafting exposure, did not produce brain tumors in any of the experimental animals indicating that in the microenvironment of fetal brain transplants the multistep development of gliomas requires additional mutational events. Malignant schwannomas perinatally induced by NEU carry a point mutation in the transmembrane domain of the neu gene. The mode of oncogene activation in NEU-induced CNS gliomas has not yet been elucidated. We have used cerebral grafting techniques to study the effects of known oncogenes on the developing nervous system, taking advantage of efficient gene transfer by replication-defective retroviral vectors and of the extraordinary capacity of fetal CNS to differentiate in and fully integrate with the host brain. Rats carrying transplants exposed in vitro to the polyoma medium T-antigen developed endothelial hemangiomas in the graft which of ten led to fatal cerebral hemorrhage within 13-50 days after transplantation. Introduction of the viral src gene caused astrocytic and mesenchymal tumors after latency periods of 2-6 months. Following infection of fetal donor cells with a vector encoding the v-myc oncogene, only a single embryonal CNS tumor was observed whereas exposure to v-H-ras produced a low incidence of gliomas. The combined expression of the oncogenes v-H-ras and v-myc resulted in the rapid induction of multiple malignant neoplasms, indicating a potent complementing effect of these genes in the brain. These results demonstrate that oncogene transfer into fetal brain cells constitutes a challenging new model to identify the effects of transforming genes on the various cellular conponents of the CNS." @default.
