Prognostic Significance of Melanoma Differentiation and Trans-Differentiation
Cutaneous malignant melanomas share a number of molecular attributes such as limitless replicative potential that define capabilities acquired by most malignancies. Accordingly, much effort has been focused on evaluating and validating protein markers related to these capabilities to function as melanoma prognostic markers. However, a few studies have also highlighted the prognostic value of ma...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine differentiation in primary Merkel cell carcinoma--possible prognostic significance.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the level of neuroendocrine differentiation to determine its association with clinicopathological parameters. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five primary MCC samples were evaluated for neuroendocrine differentiation profiles by immunohistochemistry using antibodies to chromogranin-A, microtubule associated protein-2 and synaptophysin. The data were...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation enables trans-differentiation Epigenetic modifications and canonical WNT signaling enable trans-differentiation of non-osteogenic cells into osteoblasts
Mesenchymal cells alter and retain their phenotype during skeletal development through activation or suppression of signaling pathways. For example, we have shown that Wnt3a only stimulates osteoblast differentiation in cells with intrinsic osteogenic potential (e.g., MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts) and not in fat cell precursors or fibroblasts (respectively, 3T3-L1 preadipocytes or NIH3T3 fibroblasts...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of paneth cell-like neuroendocrine differentiation in adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
The prognostic significance of Paneth cell-like neuroendocrine differentiation in adenocarcinoma of the prostate has not yet been established. We studied 36 cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostate showing Paneth cell-like neuroendocrine differentiation, including needle biopsy specimens (n = 27), radical prostatectomies (n = 8), and transurethral resection specimens (n = 1). Paneth cell-like ne...
