Abstract:
:Macroscopic morphology, histology and ultrastructure of BK virus (BKV)-induced hamster and mouse tumors were investigated. Groups of animals were immunosuppressed to study the relationship between immune system and BKV oncogenesis. Ependymomas had the highest incidence, followed by tumors of pancreatic islets, osteosarcomas, lymphomas and sarcomas, sometimes associated in the same animal. All the tumors were found to be BKV specific. Ependymomas showed the shortest latency, infiltrated surrounding tissues but did not metastasize. Pseudo-rosettes were common and basal bodies were observed. Atypia and necrosis were more often present in immunosuppressed animals both for the ependymomas and for the other oncotypes. Pancreatic insulomas were frequently multinodular, possibly because of multifocal origin and metastasized to the liver. Hormone secretory granules were often found on electron microscopy. Osteosarcomas metastasized to lungs and peritoneum and showed the presence of osteoid, chondroblastoid and mixoid areas. Characteristic giant cells were present. Immunosuppression did not enhance tumor incidence and did not influence the latency period. However, neoplastic growth appeared to be more rapid and with more aggressive behavior in immunodepressed animals. These findings suggest an influence of the immune system in tumor development, whereas the virus oncogenic process seems unaffected.
