Epithelial glandular differentiation in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma has not been described. Our patient was a 64-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer status post-radiation and hormonal therapy. On screening bone scan, he was found to have increased uptake in his right femoral shaft.
Production of nitric oxide by solid tumors may have important ramifications regarding tumor growth and potential metastasis. This study demonstrated that the chondrosarcoma of the Swarm rat has upregulated mRNA for inducible nitric oxide synthase and produces nitric oxide. These results were
Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is identified as an oncogene implicated in various types of human cancers, while Yes-associated protein (YAP) as a key transcriptional coactivator of the Hippo signaling plays a vital role in tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. To date, the underlying
Overexpression and point mutation of the p53 protein/gene was investigated in a series of chondrosarcoma by an immunohistochemical approach, and direct sequencing of the genomic DNA, respectively. In 2 of the 16 cases studied, both of which were high grade chondrosarcomas (grade III),
A recent research of cancer has indicated that the mutant of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and 2) genes will induce various cancers, including chondrosarcoma, cholangiocarcinomas, and acute myelogenous leukemia due to the effect of point mutations in the active-site arginine residues of
BACKGROUND
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been implicated in the growth and/or metastasis of osteosarcoma (OS) and chondrosarcoma based on in vitro and experimental animal studies.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the degree of growth hormone (GH), IGF-1 axis blockade, toxicities, and antitumor
TAF15 (formerly TAF(II)68) is a nuclear RNA-binding protein that is associated with a distinct population of TFIID and RNA polymerase II complexes. TAF15 harbours an N-terminal activation domain, an RNA recognition motif (RRM) and many Arg-Gly-Gly (RGG) repeats at its C-terminal end. The N-terminus
Over the last decade, comprehensive genome-wide sequencing studies have enabled us to find out unexpected genetic alterations of metabolism in cancer. An example is the identification of arginine missense mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenases-1 and -2 (IDH1/2) in glioma, acute myeloid leukemia
Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the formation of cartilage-capped prominences that develop from the growth centers of the long bones. EXT is genetically heterogeneous, with three loci, currently identified on chromosomes 8q24.1, 11p13, and 19q.
Hypothalamus-pituitary tumours and their treatments (neurosurgery and/or radiotherapy) are major causes of acquired hypopituitarism. Scientific and clinical evidences show the positive effect of GH replacement therapy in severe adult GH deficiency (GHD) pointed toward the need of diagnostic
The biosynthesis of type XI and type II collagens was examined using a stable rat chondrocyte cell line established by W. E. Horton et al. (1988, Exp. Cell Res. 178, 457-468.). These cells (IRC; immortalized rat chondrocytes) were created by transformation with a murine retrovirus carrying the v-myc
H3F3A mutations and the expression of glycine 34 to tryptophan (G34W) mutants in giant cell tumors of bone (GCTBs) and other bone tumors were detected to compare H3F3A mutation types and the expression of G34W-mutant protein in order to provide a theoretical basis for using H3F3A mutations as a
We have determined the primary structure of a connective tissue matrix protein from the nucleotide sequence of a clone isolated from a human articular chondrocyte cDNA library. The major part of the amino acid sequence has also been determined by direct protein sequencing. The translated primary
Heterozygous mutations in catalytic arginine residues of isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) are common in glioma, acute myeloid leukemia, chondrosarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. The mutant enzymes acquire a neomorphic activity that converts
