Establishment and characterization of a primary human chordoma xenograft model.
OBJECT Chordomas are rare tumors arising from remnants of the notochord. Because of the challenges in achieving a complete resection, the radioresistant nature of these tumors, and the lack of effective chemotherapeutics, the median survival for patients with chordomas is approximately 6 years. Reproducible preclinical model systems that closely mimic the original patient's tumor are essential ...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of human medulloblastoma xenograft line.
A new xenotransplantable tumor line, MED-FU, was derived from a 6-year-old female patient with cerebellar medulloblastoma. This tumor was grown in nude mice as serially transplantable subcutaneous xenografts composed of small round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm. Many rosettes and mitoses were observed. Immunohistochemically, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S-100 p...
متن کاملEstablishment and characterization of a novel xenograft model of human gastrointestinal stromal tumor in mice.
BACKGROUND The clinical outcome of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has been improved by the introduction of molecular-targeting drugs. However, resistance to these drugs appears during the course of treatment. The aim of this study was to establish and characterize a human xenograft model of GIST. MATERIALS AND METHODS GIST tissue from a patient with esophageal GIST was implanted under ...
متن کاملEstablishment of a xenograft model of human myelodysplastic syndromes.
BACKGROUND To understand how myelodysplastic syndrome cells evolve from normal stem cells and gain competitive advantages over normal hematopoiesis, we established a murine xenograft model harboring bone marrow cells from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes. DESIGN AND METHODS Bone marrow CD34(+) cells obtained from patients we...
متن کاملEstablishment of a rhabdomyosarcoma xenograft model in human-adapted mice.
The outcome of patients with advanced stage rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is still sobering. This outcome has not improved through conservative treatments. Therefore, novel treatment approaches such as immunotherapy need to be evaluated in human-adapted animal models. The aim of this study was to develop a humanized mouse model of childhood RMS as a basis for the study of immunotherapeutic approaches....
