Gene amplification in PNETs/medulloblastomas: mapping of a novel amplified gene within the MYCN amplicon.
OBJECTIVES The pathological entity of primitive neuroectodermal tumour/medulloblastoma (PNET/MB) comprises a very heterogeneous group of neoplasms on a clinical as well as on a molecular level. We evaluated the importance of DNA amplification in medulloblastomas and other primitive neuroectodermal tumours (PNETs) of the CNS. METHOD Restriction landmark genomic scanning (RLGS), a method that a...
متن کاملRapid detection of MYCN gene amplification and telomerase expression in neuroblastoma.
Amplification of the MYCN gene and high telomerase activity predict a poor prognosis for the patients with neuroblastoma. We used PCR techniques for rapid detection of MYCN gene amplification and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression in neuroblastoma specimens. The detection of MYCN gene amplification is based on differential PCR in which three primer pairs were used to coam...
متن کاملMechanisms of embryonal tumor initiation: distinct roles for MycN expression and MYCN amplification.
The mechanisms causing persistence of embryonal cells that later give rise to tumors is unknown. One tumorigenic factor in the embryonal childhood tumor neuroblastoma is the MYCN protooncogene. Here we show that normal mice developed neuroblast hyperplasia in paravertebral ganglia at birth that completely regressed by 2 weeks of age. In contrast, ganglia from MYCN transgenic (TH-MYCN) mice demo...
متن کاملHedgehog Pathway as the Target in Rhabdomyosarcoma with Gli1 Gene Amplification
INTRODUCTION: Hedgehog (Hh) pathway inhibition is being actively investigated in clinical trials for metastatic colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, medulloblastoma and other solid tumors. One such inhibitor, GDC-0449 (Vismodegib), has shown positive results in phase II clinical trial on advanced basal cell carcinoma. Response to Hh pathway inhibition has been shown for both GDC-0449 and GANT61 f...
متن کاملRole for amplification and expression of glypican-5 in rhabdomyosarcoma.
Overexpression of genes, through genomic amplification and other mechanisms, can critically affect the behavior of tumor cells. Genomic amplification of the 13q31-32 region is reported in many tumors, including rhabdomyosarcomas that are primarily pediatric sarcomas resembling developing skeletal muscle. The minimum overlapping region of amplification at 13q31-32 in rhabdomyosarcomas was define...
