Immunohistochemical Characterization of FacioscapulohumeralMuscular Dystrophy Muscle Biopsies
BACKGROUND Posited pathological mechanisms in Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) include activation in somatic tissue of normally silenced genes, increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, and induction of apoptosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the histopathological changes in FSHD muscle biopsies and compare to possible pathological mechanisms of disease. METHODS We performed a cr...
متن کاملCharacterization of aquaporin-4 in muscle and muscular dystrophy.
Aquaporins are a growing family of transmembrane proteins that transport water and, in some cases, glycerol and urea across cellular membranes. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is enriched at the sarcolemma of skeletal muscle and may play a role in accommodating the rapid changes in cell volume and hydrostatic forces that occur during contraction in order to prevent damage to the sarcolemma. Recent evidence ...
متن کاملGene expression comparison of biopsies from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and normal skeletal muscle.
The primary cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a mutation in the dystrophin gene leading to the absence of the corresponding RNA transcript and protein. Absence of dystrophin leads to disruption of the dystrophin-associated protein complex and substantial changes in skeletal muscle pathology. Although the histological pathology of dystrophic tissue has been well documented, the under...
متن کاملComputer{Aided Immunohistochemical Analysis of Breast Cancer Biopsies
To date many problems remain in the eld of quantitative tissue analysis. One area where quantitation is particularly important and clinically useful is the immunohistochemical analysis of breast cancer biopsies. A survey of the literature on automated quantitative analysis tools reveals the existence of several key problems, particularly in the area of tissue analysis. Many of these factors pre...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical characterization of sebaceous epithelioma in two dogs
This report describes two cases of sebaceous epithelioma and its immunohistochemical characterization with CK 14, CK18, p63, Ki67 and Bcl-2 immunostaining. Case 1 was a 12-year-old, intact English Cocker spaniel female presenting with multiple skin nodules over one year. Case 2 was a 7-year-old, spayed poodle female with a five-month history of solitary mass. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stainin...
