Isolation and Characterization of CD133 Positive Stem Cell from Human Kidney with Renal Cell Carcinoma

Microarray profile of human kidney from diabetes, renal cell carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma with diabetes

Recent study from our laboratory showed that patients with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing kidney cancer. In the current study, we have screened whole human DNA genome from healthy control, patients with diabetes or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) or RCC+diabetes. We found that 883 genes gain/163 genes loss of copy number in RCC+diabetes group, 669 genes gain/307 genes loss in RCC group ...

Identification and characterization of CD133+CD44+ cancer stem cells from human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines

Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma ranks second among head and neck squamous-cell carcinomas. Cancer stem cells can support cancer growth and malignant behavior. Therefore, cancer stem cells isolated from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue could be used to investigate the initiation, progression, and treatment strategies of this cancer. Methods: We isolated CD133-CD44-, CD133-C...

Duodenal Metastases From Renal Cell Carcinoma Presented With Melena: Review and Case Report

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to duodenum is very rare and only a few case reports are available in the literature. We here reported a patient with solitary duodenal metastasis presented with melena six years after right nephrectomy. The patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showing ulcerative mass at the second portion of duodenum and biopsy of this mass was consistent wit...

Kidney: Renal cell carcinoma

Classification The major morphological classifications (WHO/ AFIP; modified Mainz classification, and the Heidelberg classification) discriminate eight sub-types of renal cell tumors related to the basic cell types of the nephron from which they are derived, and in line with the genetic facts as presently understood: 1) metanephric adenoma and metanephric adenofibroma, 2) papillary adenoma, 3) ...
