detection of survivin gene expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of human osteosarcoma: its potential usefulness in diagnosis and prognosis of bone tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
osteosarcoma is a relatively uncommon malignancy however, it is the most common form of primary malignant bone tumors in human. diagnosis and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma is limited to clinico-radiopathological parameters, whereas molecular markers of tumor aggression have been poorly identified. survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis (iap), is unique for its expression in human tumors and fetal tissues but not in non-dividing normal adult cells. it mediates suppression of apoptosis in many cancers including bone tumors, and plays a role in tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. in the present study, the expression of survivin was evaluated by heminested rt-pcr for amplifiable mrna extracted from 23 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (ffpe) specimens of high-grade osteosarcoma as well as 8 non-tumoral bone tissues. ß2-microglobulin (ß2m) gene expression was also evaluated, and used as an internal control. survivin gene expression was detected in 82.6% (19/23) of high-grade osteosarcomas. in contrast, there was no gene expression in non-tumoral bone samples as well as the normal tissues obtained from the margin of some osteosarcoma samples. in conclusion, our data revealed that the expression of survivin is limited to osteosarcoma cells and associated with high-grade malignancies. therefore, evaluating surviving gene expression might have a potential usefulness in diagnosis and prognosis of bone tumors.

Osteosarcoma is the most frequent malignant bone tumor with a peak incidence in the second and third decades of life. Diagnosis of patients with osteosarcoma is limited to clinico-pathological parameters whereas molecular markers of tumor initiation and promotion have not yet been identified. We aimed to study the expression of the anti-apoptotic survivin gene in osteosarcoma specimens. A total...

A molecular test performed using fresh-frozen tissue was proposed for use in the prognosis of patients with pleural mesothelioma. The accuracy of the test and its properties was assessed under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-approved guidelines using FFPE tissue from an independent multicenter patient cohort. Concordance studies were performed using matched frozen and FFPE mesothelio...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
15 صفحه اولDirect quantification of gene expression in homogenates of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues represent an important source of archival materials for gene expression profiling. We report here the development of a modified branch DNA assay that allows direct quantification of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts in homogenates from FFPE tissue sections without the need for RNA isolation and reverse transcription into cDNA. Formalin fixation es...
متن کاملImmunostaining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues for malignant lymphomas.
With the advent of new monoclonal antibodies that are applicable to formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded sections, immunophenotyping is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis and classification of lymphomas. However, multiple factors such as fixation, trypsinization and even type of antibodies used have certain effects on the final outcome of the staining procedure. In this paper we repo...
