Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Susceptible Stages in Schwann Cells for NF1-Associated Plexiform Neurofibroma Development
Stem cells are under strict regulation by both intrinsic factors and the microenvironment. There is increasing evidence that many cancers initiate through acquisition of genetic mutations (loss of intrinsic control) in stem cells or their progenitors, followed by alterations of the surrounding microenvironment (loss of extrinsic control). In neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), deregulation of Ras s...

متن کاملExpression of melanoma-associated antigens by normal and neurofibroma Schwann cells.
The cell surface antigen distribution on traumatic neuroma Schwann cells and neurofibroma Schwann-like cells was characterized using monoclonal antibodies that define melanoma-associated antigens. Immunofluorescence staining of cultured cells, immunoprecipitation of radioiodinated antigens from cells placed in short-term cultures, and immunoperoxidase staining of frozen tissue sections revealed...
متن کاملAngiogenic and invasive properties of neurofibroma Schwann cells
Neurofibromas are benign tumors from patients with von Recklinghausen Neurofibromatosis (NF1) that are comprised primarily of Schwann cells. These Schwann cells are found both in association with axons and in the extracellular matrix that is prevalent in neurofibromas, and in which fibroblasts are also abundant. An unresolved question has been whether cells in neurofibromas are normal cells or ...
متن کاملImmortalization of normal human kidney epithelial cells by nickel(II).
The occupational and environmental hazards of nickel exposure are of great concern in environmental medicine. Nickel workers have increased risk of cancer of the nose, lung, larynx, and possibly the kidney. In the present investigation we have studied the effects of nickel ions on fetal human kidney cortex explants. The explants were continuously exposed to 5 micrograms/ml NiSO4. After 70-100 d...
