Detection of SYT-SSX rearrangements in synovial sarcomas by real-time one-step RT-PCR.
Synovial sarcomas are aggressive tumors of adolescent and young adults that account for up to 10% of soft tissue sarcomas. Cytogenetically, they are characterized by translocation t(X;18), which is found in more than 95% of tumors. In most cases, it results in fusion of the SYT gene with the SSX1 or SSX2 gene, thus creating SYT-SSX1 or SYT-SSX2 rearrangement. The 2 types of gene fusion have bee...
متن کاملNuclear localization of SYT, SSX and the synovial sarcoma-associated SYT-SSX fusion proteins.
Synovial sarcoma is characterized by a prevalent chromosomal translocation, t(X;18)(p11;q11). As a result of this translocation the SYT gene on chromosome 18 fuses to either the SSX1 or the SSX2 gene on the X chromosome. In this study, we generated polyclonal antibodies against the SYT and SSX2 proteins. These antibodies specifically detected both these proteins and the SYT-SSX fusion proteins ...
متن کاملDetection of SYT-SSX fusion transcripts in both epithelial and spindle cell areas of biphasic synovial sarcoma using laser capture microdissection.
To investigate the distribution of tumour cells expressing the SYT-SSX fusion gene in biphasic synovial sarcoma, modified reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed using microdissected specimens from haematoxylin and eosin stained sections of archival paraffin wax embedded tissues. This modified RT-PCR included a stage with degenerate oligonucleotide primed...
متن کاملDirect quantitation of RNA transcripts by competitive single-tube RT-PCR and capillary electrophoresis.
Attempts are frequently made to semiquantitate mRNA as a means of circumventing the laborious and time-consuming process of quantitation that is inherent in the use of competitor templates. However, semiquantitative approaches present the risk of generating non-reproducible data due to tube-to-tube variability and/or misinterpretation of quantities of product being generated during the plateau ...
متن کاملMultiplex fluorescent RT-PCR to quantify leukemic fusion transcripts.
The detection of chimeric transcripts derived from aberrant chromosomal fusion events provides an exceptionally valuable toolfor the diagnosis of leukemia. We have developed a simple, inexpensive, reproducible, and automated method to quantify RT-PCR products. Our approach utilizesfluorescent PCRfor the co-ampification of the specific fusion transcript with an internal control (HPRT). We have a...
