| Abstract | Given a role for the deregulation of p21 WAF1 in the progression of bladder tumors, we examined the growth of cultured urothelial cells from wild-type and p21WAF1 null bladders. Bladders were excised, minced from euthanized p21 WAF1 and wild-type mice, treated overnight with dispase, and then placed into flasks coated with collagen type I in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium with 10% fetal calf serum. After an overnight incubation, the media was replaced with a serumfree media and a portion of explants were treated with 12-O-tetrade-canoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on day 7 and continued for either 4 or 9 wk. The urothelial origin of any surviving epithelial cells was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using uroplakin II-specific primers, and the expression of the cell cycle-related proteins, p16INK4 and p19ARF, was examined by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting. Isolated wild-type and serially passaged p21WAF1 null epithelial-like cells were then injected subcutaneously into nude mice. We found that phorbol ester treatment at two different concentrations significantly significantly enhanced uroepithelial colony formation from isolated wild-type mouse bladder tissue. On the other hand, significantly fewer urothelial colonies were derived from p21WAF1 null bladder cells treated with phorbol ester. Although there was apparent senescence and cell death of epithelial foci and stromal cells in phorbol ester-treated and-untreated p21WAF1 null cultures, after 3 mo there was an apparent subpopulation of epitheloid cells that overgrew each flask. There was a significant decrease in the number of these serially passaged cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle when compared with initial explant wild-type or p21 WAF1 null cells. This subpopulation of epitheloid cells expressed the mouse uroplakin II gene, indicating a urothelial phenotype, but did also a high level of expression of the p53 protein and a significant decrease in the expression of the p19ARF transcript in both p21WAF1 null bladder and p21WAF1 null cells. These p21WAF1 null cells could be easily passaged and when injected subcutaneously into nude mice, large tumors developed. Therefore, it appears that a subpopulation of urothelial cells from the p21WAF1 null bladder can develop a tumorigenic phenotype in vitro. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
