Differential expression of opioid peptide genes by testicular germ cells and somatic cells.
Spermatogenic cells have been previously shown to be a major site of testicular proenkephalin gene expression. Using RNA gel-blot analysis of purified mouse and hamster germ cells and of testes from prepuberal and germ cell-deficient mutant mice, we now have demonstrated that, in addition to its previously described expression by somatic (Leydig) cells, the gene for a second opioid peptide prec...
متن کاملFamilial testicular germ cell tumor: no associated syndromic pattern identified
BACKGROUND Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is the most common malignancy in young men. Familial clustering, epidemiologic evidence of increased risk with family or personal history, and the association of TGCT with genitourinary (GU) tract anomalies have suggested an underlying genetic predisposition. Linkage data have not identified a rare, highly-penetrant, single gene in familial TGCT (FTG...
متن کاملAltered gene expression in a clonal epidermal cell model of carcinogenesis identified by RNA differential display.
We have developed a multistage model system in which a normal mouse keratinocyte clone has been initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and variant clones derived with benign or malignant phenotypes. To identify specific genes altered during mouse skin carcinogenesis, the gene expression patterns of the normal parental epidermal cell, an initiated cell, a benign papilloma, and a poorly di...
متن کاملDifferential expression of COUP-TFI, CHL1, and two novel genes in developing neocortex identified by differential display PCR.
Genes that control the specification and differentiation of the functionally specialized areas of the mammalian neocortex are likely expressed across the developing neocortex in graded or restricted patterns. To search for such genes we have performed a PCR-based differential display screen using RNAs from rostral neocortex, which included the primary motor area, and caudal neocortex, which inc...
متن کاملIdentification of Novel Fusion Genes in Testicular Germ Cell Tumors.
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most frequently diagnosed solid tumors in young men ages 15 to 44 years. Embryonal carcinomas (EC) comprise a subset of TGCTs that exhibit pluripotent characteristics similar to embryonic stem (ES) cells, but the genetic drivers underlying malignant transformation of ECs are unknown. To elucidate the abnormal genetic events potentially contributing to ...
