RESUMO

Cisplatin is an antineoplastic agent used to treat solid malignancies, such as testicular, ovarian and bladder tumors. However, both in vitro and in vivo, cisplatin has been shown to be mutagenic, genotoxic and tumorigenic. Maintained in culture, Vero cells presented behavioral and morphological alterations associated with cellular transformation in vitro, after treatment with 50 µg/ml of cisplatin during 24 h. The morphological alterations were investigated using immunocytochemistry (fibronectin), scanning electron microscopy and the actin cytoskeleton was labeling with fluorescein isothiocyanate-phalloidin. The study of proliferation was obtained from the growth curve and the adhesion pattern was obtained from the adhesion assay. In Vero and V79 cells treated with cisplatin, cytogenetical characteristics were obtained by modal chromosome numbers, polyploidy frequencies and mitotic index determinations. Control Vero cells presented growth in a monolayer, while the transformed cells grew in multilayers forming cellular aggregates. The cellular proliferation, adhesion pattern and morphological characteristics of the transformed Vero cells were very different from the control ones. Transformed Vero cells and cisplatin-treated V79 cells presented altered chromosome numbers. Polyploidy frequencies and mitotic indexes were also enhanced in these cells. The results indicate that morphological, growth and adhesion changes observed in Vero cells and cytogenetical alterations, observed in Vero and V79 cells, probably resulted from cellular transformation in vitro induced by cisplatin treatment. These transformed Vero cells presented characteristics associated with neoplastic growth, and can be used as a model for tumor cells studies in vitro
