MAMMARY AND EXTRAMAMMARY PAGET‘S DISEASE: AN IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL STUDY USINO ANTI-TUMOR ANTIBODIES. Zxkw Tsuii and Naokl Otake, Depatmenr of Dermatology, Nagoya City University Medical School, Nagoya. Japan The parhogenesls of mammary (MPD) and extramammary (EMPD) Paget’s disease has remained controversial; and debate has intensified in recent years as data has accumulated from immunocy~ochem~cal investigations. In the present study. we used monoclonal anfibodles to three different tumor antigens (Ca 15-3, Ca 19-9 and SLX) which had not teen used 10 Pa&s disease and cornoared with each olher and CEA. Surgically removed and‘formahn-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from seven mammary, five vulvar. two scrotal, and two axillar Paget’s disease were studied for mxouno.zvtochemical anneens. Page; cells sramed wzh the anti-r2 15-3 anohody. The mtensity of the stammg was strong. Staining with this antibody was also observed in the duccal and secretory portions of the eccrine and apocrine glands, and in sebaceous gland cells. Staining with antiCa 19-9 antibody was mainly observed in the eccnne duc1, but not in other skin components. The Paget cells stained with anti-SLX antibody strongly. Staining wtb this antibody was also observed in the apocrine secretory coils, lacriferous ducts. epidennal dendritic cells, dennal iibroblasts and inflammatory infiltrates. lmmonoreactivity with anti0 15-3 antibody was more reproducible and reliable than that wth antibody against CBA because a positive reacdon for CEA was weaker than that of Ca 15.3 and was not always found I” all Paget cells. When compared with antibody to Ca 15.3, that to SLX was less useful because the latter had immonoreaclivi~y with epidermal dendmic cells and many infilualing cells m the denis. Thus, antibody 10 Ca 1S-3 seems most useful among four wmor markers 10 stain Paget cells. Depending on the staining pattern of the antibodies 11IS suggested that Lhe origin of Paget cells is secretory cells of apocrine sweat glands m EMPD. and luminal lactiferous ducts in MPD.

A NEW MODEL FOR CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE-INDUCED ALOPECIA AND ITS MANIPULATION BY CYCLQSPORlNE A ANDTOPICAL DEXAh4EWASONE. &Stefan Eicvaod M.Caas&& Dermatology, Bori Handiis Universitv Hosoilal R. &bow. Freie UnivetiULt Be& D-1000 Berlin 65 Aiopec& as a side-effect of chemorherapy rem&s a major problem in clinical oncology. Reliable scrceniog systems for the detection of effativc means to block ibe devclopmeoc of rbis alopecia am required. Here, we introduce cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced alopecia io the C 57 BM rnoux as one ~atticolarly attractive model. It assesses the effects of P single intrapritooeal injection of CYP (Im 150 mgikg) o(1 the growrh. pigmentation and recovery of malure. dcpilafion-induced aoagen VI hair follicles in adolescent animals. This was followed over time and analyzed by assessing hair cycle-dependent changes in skin color, by bislological morphomerry and by electron microscopy. CYP-treated mice display macroscopic and histological phenomena that strikingly resemble the characteristic hair follicle pathology seen with CYP-induced alopcia in man: patchy alopecia of rapid onset. melanin clumping and incontinence, dental papilla swelling, and distension of the follicular canal. Also, the pattern of follicle recovery and repigmentatioo follows that occunng under clinical conditions. Anagen VI follicles respond to CYP by the induction of dySb@ic anagen and catagen, and there are regional diierences in the follieular vulncmbili~y to CYP. Ulfrastmcturally, cell damage to hair matrix temtinocytes and dennal papillafibmblasts and extraccllularly localed. abnormal mclanosorncs were seen in CYP-treated mice. CYP-induced alaoccia could be attenuated by intraoeritosesl application of cyclmporiae A (3 x.5 mgtmousc) sad enhsooed by &p&l &xmxtethaso~%(O.l%). Due to its similaritv with CYP-induced alooecia in man. this is the clinically rnoft relevanl animal model &ailabls @date for studying the pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and for snecaing for drugs that modulate this alvia.
