The effect of environmental temperature on the cell proliferation and degree of necrosis of mice mammary adenocarcinoma

This research focuses on identifying the effect of environmental temperature exposure on cell proliferation & degree of necrosis of adenocarcinoma mammae. True experimental design (parallel) research was conducted in which the subjects (mice that have been transplanted with adenocarcinoma mammae) were divided into 4 groups with each group was exposed for 2 weeks (6 hours/day) to a environmental temperature of certain range; 20-220C, 25-270C, 32-340C, & 37-390C. In the process, the last group was excluded since all of the subjects in this group died. Sample analysis based on AgNOR & HE method was then done. From the AgNOR study, it was found that there is a significant difference in cell proliferation response between the remaining three temperature groups (ANOVA: p mAgNOR = 0.000; p pAgNOR = 0.000). The high temperature group (32-340C) shows greater cell proliferation compared to the low temperature group (20-220C). However, HE study failed to show significance in the necrosis response between the three temperature groups (Mann Whitney Test: Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value between low & control group = 0.241; Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value between control & high temp group = 0.575). In summary, AgNOR study shows that cell proliferation response in adenocarcinoma mammae shows a positive correlation with the temperature ranges. In contrast, HE study shows that temperature of any range has no effect on the degree of necrosis in mice with adenocarcinoma mammae.
Key words: mice, adenocarcinoma mammae, cells proliferation, temperature, necrosis.
