    Summary The aim of the present study was to evaluate the putative photoreceptor differentiation found in certain cerebellar medulloblastomas. The analyses were focussed on S-antigen, rod-opsin (the apoprotein of the visual pigment rhodopsin) and 11-cis retinal (the prosthetic group of rhodopsin). Fresh frozen and paraffinembedded biopsy specimens of three medulloblastomas were investigated by means of immunocytochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), and immunoblotting. As shown in paraffin sections, one out of the three tumors (tumor A) contained S-antigen- and rod-opsin-immunoreactive tumor cells. The immunoblotting technique revealed in this tumor a single protein band of approximately 48–50 kDa that reacted with the S-antigen antibody and three protein bands of approximately 40, 75 and 110 kDa recognized by the rod-opsin antibody. These bands could not be detected in the two remaining tumors (tumor B and C). The rod-opsin content of tumor A was quantified by the ELISA; 11.7 pmol rod-opsin were calculated for the biopsy. The HPLC demonstrated the presence of 11-cis- and all-trans-retinal in tumor A, but not in tumors B and C. Furthermore, it was shown that 11-cis-retinal was converted to all-trans-retinal upon illumination of the tumor extract. The ratio between 11-cis-and all-trans-retinal was approximately 1:1 before illumination and 3:5 after illumination. A total of 2–3 pmol of retinal was found in the biopsy of tumor A. In addition all-trans-retinol was present in this tumor. The results indicate that certain medulloblastomas express a functional photopigment and S-antigen, another protein of the phototransduction cascade. They strongly support the concept that medulloblastoma cells may differentiate along the photoreceptor cell lineage.

    Abstract Background:An update of results from the High Risk Protocol ofthe Meta-EICESS Study, conducted at the Pediatric Stem-Cell Transplant Centersof Düsseldorf and Vienna. In order to evaluate a possible therapeuticbenefit after allogeneic SCT in patients with advanced Ewing tumors (AET), wecompared outcome after autologous and allogeneic stem-cell transplantation(SCT). Patients and methods:We analyzed 36 patients treated with themyeloablative Hyper-ME protocol (hyperfractionated total body irradiation,melphalan, etoposide ± carboplatin) between November 1986 and December1994. Minimal follow-up for all patients was five years. All patientsunderwent remission induction chemotherapy and local treatment beforemyeloablative therapy. Seventeen of thirty-six patients had multifocal primaryEwing's tumor, eighteen of thirty-six had early, multiple or multifocalrelapse, one of thirty-six patients had unifocal late relapse. Twenty-six ofthirty-six were treated with autologous and ten of thirty-six with allogeneichematopoetic stem cells. We analyzed the following risk factors, that couldpossibly influence the event-free survival (EFS): number of involved bones,degree of remission at time of SCT, type of graft, indication for SCT, bonemarrow infiltration, bone with concomitant lung disease, age at time ofdiagnosis, pelvic involvement, involved compartment radiation,histopathological diagnosis. Results:EFS for the 36 patients was 0.24 (0.21) ± 0.07.Eighteen of thirty-six patients suffered relapse or died of disease, nine ofthirty-six died of treatment related toxicity (DOC). Nine of thirty-sixpatients are alive in CR. Age ≥ 17 years at initial diagnosis (P〈 0.005) significantly deteriorated outcome. According to the type ofgraft, EFS was 0.25 ± 0.08 after autologous and 0.20 ± 0.13after allogeneic SCT. Incidence of DOC was more than twice as high afterallogeneic (40%) compared to autologous (19%) SCT, even thoughthe difference did not reach significance (P = 0.08, Fisher's exacttest). Conclusions:Because of the rather short observation period,secondary malignant neoplasm (SMN) may complicate the future clinical courseof some of our patients who are currently viewed as event-free survivors. EFSin AET is not improved by allogeneic SCT due to a higher complication rate.The patient group was to small to analyze for a possiblegraft-versus-tumor effect.

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to characterize the rod-opsin immunoreaction in the mammalian pineal organ. Pigmented mice (strain C57BL) were selected as the animal model. Immunocytochemical investigations involving the use of highly specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against bovine rod-opsin (the apoprotein of the photopigment rhodopsin) showed that approximately 25% of all pinealocytes were rod-opsin immunoreactive. Immunoblotting techniques revealed three protein bands of approximately 40, 75, and 110 kDa; these were detected by the monoclonal antibody and the polyclonal antiserum in retinal and pineal extracts. These protein bands presumably represented the monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms of rod-opsin. The amount of rod-opsin in retina and pineal organ was quantified by means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This yielded 570±30 pmoles rod-opsin per eye and 0.3±0.05 pmoles rod-opsin per pineal organ. High pressure liquid chromatography analysis of whole eye extracts demonstrated the chromophoric group of the photopigment rhodopsin, 11-cis retinal, and its isomer, all-trans-retinal. A shift from 11-cis retinal to all-trans-retinal was found upon light adaptation. No retinals were detected in the pineal organ. Autoradiographic investigations showed that 3H-retinol, intraperitoneally injected into the animals, was incorporated into the outer and inner segments of retinal photoreceptors, but not into the pineal organ. It is concluded that the mouse pineal organ contains the authentic apoprotein of rhodopsin but that it lacks retinal derivatives as essential components of all known vertebrate photopigments. Consequently, the “photoreceptor-specific” proteins of the mammalian pineal organ are not involved in photoreception and phototransduction, but may serve other functions to be explored in future studies.
