J Toxicol Pathol 2022; 35:25-36. [PMID: 35221493 PMCID: PMC8828615 DOI: 10.1293/tox.2021-0022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Lymphoma is the third most common cancer diagnosed in children, and T-cell lymphoma has
the worst prognosis based on clinical observations. To date, a lymphoma model with uniform
penetrance has not yet been developed. In this study, we generated a p53
deficient mouse model by targeting embryonic stem cells derived from a C57BL/6J mouse
strain. Homozygous p53 deficient mice exhibited a higher rate of
spontaneous tumorigenesis, with a high spontaneous occurrence rate (93.3%) of malignant
lymphoma. Because tumor models with high phenotypic consistency are currently needed, we
generated a lymphoma model by a single intraperitoneal injection of 37.5 or 75 mg/kg
N-methyl-N-nitrosourea to p53 deficient mice. Lymphoma and retinal
degeneration occurred in 100% of p53+/− mice administered with
higher concentrations of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, a much greater response than those of
previously reported models. The main anatomic sites of lymphoma were the thymus, spleen,
bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Both induced and spontaneous lymphomas in the thymus and
spleen stained positive for CD3 antigen, and flow cytometry detected positive CD4 and/or
CD8 cells. Based on our observations and previous data, we hypothesize that mice with a B6
background are prone to lymphomagenesis.

Abstract
Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) have been used for various applications, including as hardening agents in rubber manufacturing, as fungicide in agriculture, and as medications to treat alcohol misuse disorder. The multi-faceted effects of DTCs rely mainly on metal binding abilities and a high reactivity with thiol groups. Therefore, the list of potential applications is still increasing, exemplified by the US Food and Drug Administration approval of disulfiram (Antabuse) and its metabolite diethyldithiocarbamate in clinical trials against cancer, human immunodeficiency virus, and Lyme disease, as well as new DTC-related compounds that have been synthesized to target diseases with unmet therapeutic needs. In this review, we will discuss the latest progress of DTCs as anti-cancer agents and provide a summary of the mechanisms of action. We will explain the expansion of DTCs' activity in the fields of microbiology, neurology, cardiology, and ophthalmology, thereby providing evidence for the important role and therapeutic potential of DTCs as innovative medical treatments.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative malignancy with a very poor prognosis. Despite several recent advances, new therapeutic approaches are critical, and this will require successful preclinical studies, including studies in ATL cell culture systems, and mouse models. Identification of accurate, reproducible biomarkers will be a crucial component of preclinical and clinical studies. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art in each of these fields, and provides recommendations for future approaches. This problem is an important unmet need in HTLV research.

Abstract
Adult T cell Leukemia (ATL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative malignancy secondary to infection by the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) and is associated with a dismal prognosis. ATL leukemogenesis remains enigmatic. In the era of precision medicine in oncology, mouse models offer one of the most efficient in vivo tools for the understanding of the disease biology and developing novel targeted therapies. This review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of mouse models developed in the context of ATL and HTLV-I infection. Murine ATL models include transgenic animals for the viral proteins Tax and HBZ, knock-outs for key cellular regulators, xenografts and humanized immune-deficient mice. The first two groups provide a key understanding of the role of viral and host genes in the development of ATL, as well as their relationship with the immunopathogenic processes. The third group represents a valuable platform to test new targeted therapies against ATL.
