RESUMO

Background: Cell therapy could be an alternative for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. Therefore efforts have been made to establish a cell line of parathyroid cells. Aim: To establish a continuous functional and non-tumorigenic human parathyroid cell line. Material and Methods: Nineteen tissue samples from 15 patients subjected to parathyroidectomy due to primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism were obtained. Functional, morphological and tumorigenic properties of the obtained cells were analyzed. Results: After two months of culture in conditions of immortalization, cells had an exponential growth without experiencing senescence. Therefore, more than 200 sub cultures have been performed. The cell line was denominated RCPTH. Morphological characterization showed monolayer growth with contact inhibition and a duplication time of 30 hours. On light microscopy, pleomorphism and low number of mitoses were observed. Cells accumulated glycogen, expressed calcium sensing receptor and had positive PTH cytoplasmic clusters. The line secreted PTH initially but subsequently, PTH production became undetectable. The cell line did not have tumor or metastatic growth. Conclusions: A parathyroid cell line has been established. The lack of PTH production is a problem that will require the search for mechanisms to activate it.

RESUMO

The fusion of a murine B cell and a myeloma cell generates a hybridoma that produces monoclonal antibody (mAb). These murine mAb induce the HAMA (human anti-mouse antibodies) response. Murine mAb have been modified by genetic engineering, producing molecules with a higher proportion of human protein. At present, chimeric, humanized and fully human mAb are available. mAb block interactions between target molecules and their ligands or trigger the lyses of mAb-coated tumor cells. Numerous mAb have been developed using the recombinant DNA technology and several are available in the market. Trastuzumab, against HER2/neu, is useful in breast cancer; rituximab, against CD20 in B lymphocytes is useful in lymphoma; alemtuzumab, against CD52 is used in lymphoma and leukemia; daclizumab and basiliximab block the IL-2 receptor interaction and reduce acute rejection in kidney transplantion; abciximab, an antagonist of GPIIb/IIIa platelet receptor, is used in patients undergoing acute coronary syndromes. In autoimmunity diseases, blocking tumor necrosis factor by infliximab and adalimumab has demonstrated excellent results. Thus, infliximab is useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis while adalimumab is the first fully human mAb available for RA. Infliximab and adalimumab reduce signs and symptoms in RA and they also interfere with progression of joint damage. Finally, the direct benefits of antagonist treatment can occur at the expense of a major adverse effect in some other biological function (Rev Méd Chile 2003; 131: 1445-53).
