Continued presence of nucleoli in human germ cell tumors during mitosis.

چکیده
A series of human germ cell-derived tumors were examined for the presence of nucleoli which persist through mitosis. Embryonal carcinomas, seminomas, and the cytotrophoblasts of choriocarcinomas had persistent nucleoli in more than 70% of mitoses. The differentiated cells derived from embryonal carcinomas, endodermal sinus tumors, and the more differentiated elements of choriocarcinomas only rarely had persistent nucleoli. These nucleoli appeared to remain transcriptionally active.

Sharing of mitotic pre-ribosomal particles between daughter cells.
Ribosome biogenesis is a fundamental multistep process initiated by the synthesis of 90S pre-ribosomal particles in the nucleoli of higher eukaryotes. Even though synthesis of ribosomes stops during mitosis while nucleoli disappear, mitotic pre-ribosomal particles persist as observed in pre-nucleolar bodies (PNBs) during telophase. To further understand the relationship between the nucleolus an...
متن کاملMale germ-like cell differentiation potential of human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells in co-culture with human placenta cells in presence of BMP4 and retinoic acid
Objective(s):Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. Hence, WJ-MSCs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. Materials and Methods: MSCs were isolated from human Wharton’s jelly and treated with BMP4, retinoic acid (RA) or co-cultured on huma...
متن کاملفراوانی بروز مارکر گلیپیکان 3 (GPC3) در تومورهای سلول زایای بیضه
Background and purpose: Germ cell tumor is the most common malignancy of men between 15-34 years of age. Proper treatment is highly dependent on accurate histologic diagnosis, and different markers such as cytokeratin, CD3, GPC3 and etc. were proposed. It was reported that GPC3 is over expressed in testicular germ cell tumors by micro array assay. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expre...
متن کاملSurvival of Children with Germ Cell Tumors in Ali Asghar Hospital since 1990 to 2003
Background and Objective: Germ cell tumor (GCT) accounts for approximately 2-3% of all malignancies in children. In this respect, about 20% of patients with GCT are still resistant to therapy. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional strategy of this survey was undertaken on 57 patients with germ cell ...
متن کاملEffect of 4-octylphenol on germ cell number in cultured human fetal gonads.
This study evaluates whether a hormone disruptor found in environment, 4-octylphenol, affects the rate of proliferation of germ cells from human fetal gonads during a 3 week culture period. Five testis and five ovaries were obtained from fetuses of women undergoing legal abortions between the 6th and 9th week of fetal life, representing the period where early gonadal differentiation takes place...
