Studies on the tumor‐promoting activity of biomaterials: Inhibition of metabolic cooperation by polyetherurethane and silicone

Abstract: When V79 metabolic cooperation (MC) assay was performed to detect tumor-promoting activities, inhibitory activities on the gap-junctional intercellular communication were first detected in both extracts prepared from polyetherurethane (PEU) and silicone. The former inhibited more strongly than the latter. Furthermore, the lowest effective concentrations in MC assay correlated well with the values of the total active incidences obtained by histologic evaluation of the 2-year implantation test in rats.

“…Tsuchiya et al reported that the tumorigenic potentials of these PEUs were correlated with their inhibitory potentials on GJIC using V79 metabolic cooperation assay, and hypothesized that cell-material interaction may play a major role in tumor promotion. 3,4 However, it is probable that not only GJIC but other factors may play a role in tumor formation, especially in tumor initiation, induced by implantation of tumorigenic materials. It has been known from the observation by Brand et al that preneoplastic cells already exist in a foreign bodyreactive tissue within 4-8 weeks postimplantation, although the role of the implant on the initiation stage is still unclear.…”

“…4 Five grams of each PEU dissolved in 20 mL of THF was dropped into 200 mL of methanol to precipitate the PEU, and left for 3 days. After filtration of the mixture, the precipitate was left in another 200 mL of methanol for a further 3 days, followed by filtration.…”

“…10,11 In addition, GJIC plays an essential role in homeostasis maintenance by keeping many growth control signals at equilibrium among GJIC-connected cells and tissues. 13 Therefore, it is important to clarify the inhibitory activity of the materials on GJIC to estimate both their biocompatibility and their undesirable effects in vivo.…”

“…With both degradable and nondegradable materials, this can induce chronic inflammatory reactions which may result in implant failures 1 and even in tumor-promoting activity. 2,3 Recent studies have shown that tissue reactions which are important for the biocompatibility of biomaterials mainly concern (varieties of) a (sterile) inflammatory reaction. Cellular and humoral factors, such as platelets, granulocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, giant cells, 4 adhesion molecules, 5 the coagulation cascade (e.g., bradykinin), 6 complement, 7,8 and cytokines [9][10][11] can be involved in the mentioned unwanted tissue reaction.…”
