Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) are the most common soft tissue sarcomas of childhood and adolescence. To date, there are no effective treatments that target the genetic abnormalities in RMS, and current treatment options for high-risk groups are not adequate. Over the past two decades, research into the
Novel efficacious treatment of Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) with less toxicity has yet to emerge. Genomic analysis of RMS has reported that the receptor tyrosine kinase FGFR4 is highly expressed and frequently mutated in the tumor tissue. The V550E/L and N535D/K mutations of FGFR4 in RMS can lead to
The aim of this study was the comparison of the tumour uptake and the long-term retention of [(123)I]-2-I-L-phenylalanine and [(123)I]-2-I-D-phenylalanine with those of [(123)I]-2-I-L-tyrosine and [(123)I]-2-I-D-tyrosine in R1M rhabdomyosarcoma tumour-bearing rats. The biodistribution of the
The receptor tyrosine kinase MET and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), have been implicated in the genesis of the paediatric tumour rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Addition of exogenous HGF to RH30 RMS cells enhanced non-chemotactic migration. Stable transfection of dominant negative MET into RH30
We have isolated a new marker (cos11-5TH) that detects an MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism in the 5' region of the human tyrosine hydroxylase gene (TH) on chromosome band 11p15.5. This region of human chromosome 11 contains several important loci for disease phenotypes including
Growth of Kym-1 rhabdomyosarcoma cells depends on endogenous receptor tyrosine kinase signals activated by insulin and insulin-like growth factors (IGF), as revealed from enhancement of proliferation by insulin and IGF-1 and cytostatic action of inhibitors of IR/IGFR kinases. Depending on the
BACKGROUND
Recently, promising results concerning uptake in vivo in tumors of D-amino acids have been published. Therefore, we decided to evaluate the tumor uptake of the D-analogue of [(123)I]-2-iodo-L-tyrosine, a tracer recently introduced by our group into clinical trials. The uptake of
BACKGROUND
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMSs) can harbour MET and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) alterations. We prospectively assessed crizotinib in patients with advanced/metastatic ARMS.
METHODS
Eligible patients with a central diagnosis of ARMS received oral crizotinib 250 mg twice daily.
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare mesenchymal tumor with few treatment options after the failure of first-line therapy. Understanding the expression of kinases and apoptotic molecules in RMS tumors may lead to elucidation of mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy and development of new
Five human rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines were used to investigate the surface expression of HER/erbB receptors, particularly of HER-2, HER-3 and HER-4, by flow cytometry. HER-2 was expressed in 3/5 rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. HER-3 was expressed in all rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. None of the
Aberrant activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase-mediated RAS signaling cascade is the primary driver of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS), a pediatric cancer characterized by a block in myogenic differentiation. To investigate the cellular function of activated RAS signaling in regulating the
The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) has surfaced as a significant target in multiple solid cancers due to its fundamental roles in pro-survival and anti-apoptotic signaling. However, development of resistance to IGF-1R blockade represents a significant hindrance and limits treatment
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-binding protein (IGFBP)-6 decreases cancer cell proliferation and survival by inhibiting the effects of IGF-II. More recently, IGFBP-6 was found to promote the migration of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells in an IGF-independent manner, and MAPK pathways were involved in
Rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood malignancy, accounting for more than 50% of all soft-tissue sarcomas in children. Even with extensive therapy, the survival rate among alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma patients with advanced disease is only 20%. The receptor tyrosine kinase Epidermal Growth
Objective: To investigation the diagnostic utility of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemically as a marker of peripheral neuroblastic tumors(pNT). Methods: The study included 1 024 cases, 643 primary and metastatic pNT cases, 381 non-pNT cases, including small round cell tumors such as
