Abstract
Ultrastructural studies were done on cells from original tumors and from short time cultures of mouse thymic lymphomas experimentally induced by chronic exposure to diphenyl-hydantoin. The tumors appeared in mouse strains with low (C57Bl) and high (SJL/J) susceptibility to spontaneous lymphoma development and were not observed in a resistant strain (C3Hf). Thymic lymphoma development was usually preceded by increasing lymphoreticular atrophy followed by progressive reticulohistiocytic hyperplasia, and subsequently spread to other tissues. Morphologically the tumor was characterized as a lymphoblastic lymphoma. Abnormal cell changes in the original tumors and cultured cells, and the presence of murine C-type particles in the cultured cells but not in the original tumors, are discused in relation with the disturbance of immune system and the lymphoma enhancement produced by diphenyl-hydantoin. Ultrastrukturelle Zellveränderungen werden beschrieben am Original-Tumorgewebe und an Tumorzellen aus der Kurzzeitkultur von malignen Lymphomen, induziert durch chronische Diphenylhydantoin-Exposition. Diese Tumoren entstanden in Mäuse-Inzuchtlinien mit niedriger (C57Bl) und hoher (SJL/J) spontaner Lymphomrate im fortgeschrittenen Alter, waren jedoch nicht induzierbar in einer Lymphom-resistenten Linie (C3Hf). Frühveränderungen des lymphoretikulären Gewebes bestanden in einer zunehmenden Atrophie des Thymus und der thymusabhängigen Partien, begleitet von einer diffusen retikulo-histiozytären Hyperplasie. Lymphome vom lymphoblastischen Typ entstanden im Thymus nach einer Latenzzeit von 4–8 Monaten mit nachfolgender Generalisation. Verschiedene atypische Veränderungen wurden an Tumorzellen beobachtet sowie das Auftreten von C-Typ-Partikeln in den Tumorzellkulturen und hinsichtlich der Pathogenese der Lymphome diskutiert.Keywords
