osteochondroma/phosphatase

BACKGROUND The autosomal dominant condition multiple osteochondromas, formerly called multiple hereditary exostoses, is associated with a risk of malignant progression of osteochondroma into secondary peripheral chondrosarcoma. Most patients with multiple osteochondromas have exostosin-1 or

The expression of the two catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase (PP) type 1 PP1 gamma 1 and PP1 delta was examined in 4 cases of osteochondroma and 4 cases of enchondroma as a benign cartilaginous tumor, and 4 cases of chondrosarcoma as a malignant cartilaginous tumor using immunohistochemical

Metachondromatosis is a rare disorder of autosomal inheritance with incomplete penetrance, which is characterized by formation of osteochondroma and enchondroma, caused by loss of function of the protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 11 (PTPN11) gene. Diagnosis is made based on the

The expression of the three catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase (PP) type 1 and 2A, PP1 alpha, PP1 gamma 1, and PP2AC, was examined in osteogenic tumors and soft tissue tumors by immunohistochemical analysis. The percentage of cells stained positively with antiserum against PP1 catalytic

BACKGROUND Osteosarcomas are the most common primary malignant bone tumors in children and young adults; these tumors often affect the metaphyses of long bones such as the proximal humerus, proximal tibia, and distal femur. In contrast, osteosarcoma of the coracoid process is extremely

BACKGROUND Metachondromatosis (MC) is a very rare genetic disease, which is infrequently reported worldwide, which leads to osteochondroma and enchondromatosis. The disease has been shown to be associated with loss of function of the tumor suppressor gene "protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor

Our study explored the effects of SOST gene silencing on the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of human osteosarcoma cells through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Fresh tissues were obtained from 108 patients with osteosarcoma and 46 patients with osteochondroma. Human osteosarcoma

Recently, loss-of-function mutations in PTPN11 were linked to the cartilage tumor syndrome metachondromatosis (MC), a rare inherited disorder featuring osteochondromas, endochondromas and skeletal deformation. However, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanism for MC remained incompletely
