Fibulin-3 as a blood and effusion biomarker for pleural mesothelioma.
BACKGROUND New biomarkers are needed to detect pleural mesothelioma at an earlier stage and to individualize treatment strategies. We investigated whether fibulin-3 in plasma and pleural effusions could meet sensitivity and specificity criteria for a robust biomarker. METHODS We measured fibulin-3 levels in plasma (from 92 patients with mesothelioma, 136 asbestos-exposed persons without cance...
متن کاملA cytokeratin- and calretinin-negative staining sarcomatoid malignant mesothelioma.
Malignant Mesothelioma, or mesothelioma, is a mesothelial-based malignancy that may occur in the pleura, pericardium and peritoneum. Mesothelioma is a very aggressive cancer with limited treatment, and a median survival of about 1 year. At times, the diagnosis of mesothelioma may be problematic. The final diagnosis of mesothelioma relies on histology and often is dependent upon immunohistochemi...
متن کاملCalretinin as a Diagnostic Adjunct for Ameloblastoma
Background. Calretinin is a 29 kDa calcium-binding protein of the EF-hand family which is expressed in a variety of normal and tumorigenic tissues. Its expression in odontogenic epithelium during odontogenesis and in neoplastic odontogenic tissues has been demonstrated. Unicystic ameloblastoma poses a diagnostic challenge, as its histologic presentation can be sometimes mistaken for keratocysti...
متن کاملN1,N12-Diacetylspermine as a Blood Based Lung Cancer Biomarker
It is becoming well recognized that metabolic perturbations are inherent hallmarks of tumorigenesis [1,2]. Metabolites represent the functional products of cellular processes, which are highly responsive to both pathological and environmental stimuli. As such, metabolites are the closest representation of an individual’s current physiological state. Therefore, exploration of metabolic alteratio...
متن کاملPosttranscriptional Regulation Controls Calretinin Expression in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
Calretinin (CALB2) is a diagnostic and prognostic marker in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We previously reported that calretinin expression is regulated at the mRNA level. The presence of a medium-sized (573 nucleotide) 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) predicted to contain binding sites for miR-30a/b/c/d/e and miR-9 as well as an adenine/uridine-rich element (ARE) in all three transcripts...
