Differential methylation of the OCT3/4 upstream region in primary human testicular germ cell tumors.
Germ cell tumors show many similarities to normal embryogenesis. This is, for example, illustrated by the expression of the marker of pluripotency, OCT3/4, known to play a pivotal role in the early stages of normal development. Interestingly, it is found to be the most informative diagnostic marker for the early developmental stages of malignant germ cell tumors. Expression regulation of OCT3/4...
متن کاملChromosomal changes in human primary testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors.
A cytogenetic analysis of 14 primary testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors has been carried out after short term tissue culture. The modal chromosome numbers ranged from 53 to 113, in agreement with flow cytometric determination of the DNA content of the tumors. At least one copy of an i(12p) was present in 12 tumors. Two tumors, however, lacked that marker. Some chromosomes are apparentl...
متن کاملgenetics of testicular germ cell tumors
testicular germ cell tumor (tgct) is the most solid tumor in 20-40 years old man. tgct account for 95% of testicular tumors and represent a unique type of human cancer from several different perspectives. tgct arise by transformation of germ cells. the transformed germ cells exhibit ploripotentially to differentiate into embryonic. extra-embryonic, and somatic tissue types, and are highly sensi...
متن کاملDifferential Akt signalling in non-seminomatous testicular germ cell tumors.
AIM To investigate the protein kinase B (Akt) signalling proteins phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27(Kip1)) in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NST) with a view to future investigative approaches. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expressions of PTEN, p-Akt and p27(Kip1) were immunohistochemically assessed in 17 teratomas,...
متن کاملBilateral testicular germ cell tumors.
Testicular cancer represents 1% to 1.5% of neoplasias in males and 5% of urologic tumors in general. The incidence of bilateral testicular tumors is 1-5%. Approximately one third of the cases are diagnosed as synchronous, while the other two thirds are diagnosed as metachronous tumors. Additionally, 5% of all patients diagnosed with testicular cancer may have contralateral intratubular germ cel...
