Evidence on the neural crest origin of PEComas.
نویسنده
چکیده
The perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) has been proposed to be the proliferating cell type in a group of tumors known as PEComas. The histogenesis of PEComas is one of the most mysterious aspects of pathology. Hypothesis on its precursor are many, including a cell from blood vessel walls or the myoblast. In the current report, we review many morphologic, clinical, ultrastructural, molecular and genetic aspects that support the hypothesis of an origin of PEComas from the neural crest.

Evaluation of Enamel Matrix Derivative (EMD) Teratogenicity on the Rat Embryo Neural Crest Culture
Enamel matrix derivative Emdogain (EMD) is widely used in periodontal treatment in spite of the fact that its effect on the developing embryo has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the teratogenic effect of EMD on the rat embryo neural crest cells. The neural crest is a unique population of cells that migrates from the dorsal neural tube along defined pathways and pro...

Here, we provide evidence for the neural crest origin of mammalian Merkel cells. Together with nerve terminals, Merkel cells form slowly adapting cutaneous mechanoreceptors that transduce steady indentation in hairy and glabrous skin. We have determined the ontogenetic origin of Merkel cells in Wnt1-cre/R26R compound transgenic mice, in which neural crest cells are marked indelibly. Merkel cell...
متن کاملTelocytes are the common cell of origin of both PEComas and GISTs: an evidence-supported hypothesis
We advance the hypothesis that the telocyte might be the cell of origin of both PEComas (perivascular epithelioid cell tumours) and GISTs (gastro-intestinal and extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumours). The hypothesis is supported by data from the literature reporting that both PEComas and GISTs, as well as telocytes, share the expression of several markers. These data were supplemented by origi...
متن کاملThe adult mammalian pancreas contains separate precursors of pancreatic and neural crest developmental origins.
The developmental origin of a pancreatic precursor cell could provide clues to properties that may be crucial to its molecular regulation and therapeutic potential. Previously, lineage tracing experiments showed that multipotent precursors in mouse islets had a pancreatic and not a neural crest developmental origin. However, a different Cre reporter system reveals that there is, in fact, a rare...
