Patterns of BAP1 protein expression provide insights into prognostic significance and the biology of uveal melanoma
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare aggressive intraocular tumour with a propensity for liver metastases, occurring in ∼50% of patients. The tumour suppressor BAP1 is considered to be key in UM progression. Herein, we present the largest study to date investigating cellular expression patterns of BAP1 protein in 165 UMs, correlating these patterns to prognosis. Full clinical, histological, genetic, a...
متن کاملEvaluation of CD133 and CD56/NCAM expression in Wilms tumor and their association with prognostic factors
Objective(s): To validate certain markers for cancer stem cell populations and their clinical importance in Wilms tumor (WT)Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemical study for CD133 and CD56/NCAM was performed on forty-six cases of WT that were diagnosed between 1999 and 2015, and the association of these markers with survival and progn...
متن کاملPrognostic factors in Uveal Melanoma
Purpose: To investigate the effects of split dose irradiation on primary and metastatic uveal melanoma cell lines using a clonogenic survival assay. Methods: Appropriate cell concentrations of four primary and four metastatic human uveal melanoma cell lines were cultured for irradiation with single doses and with two equal fractions separated by 5 h. After irradiation colony formation was allow...
متن کاملJARID1B protein expression and prognostic implications in uveal melanoma.
PURPOSE It has been suggested recently that stem cell marker expression of jumonji AT-rich interactive domain 1B (JARID1B) is required for continuous tumor growth and maintenance in human cutaneous melanoma cells. The aim of this study is to determine whether JARID1B is also expressed in uveal melanoma (UM) and whether JARID1B marks an expanded cancer stem cell pool in poor prognosis UM. Based ...
متن کاملNBS1 expression as a prognostic marker in uveal melanoma.
PURPOSE Up to half of uveal melanoma patients die of metastatic disease. Treatment of the primary eye tumor does not improve survival in high-risk patients due to occult micrometastatic disease, which is present at the time of eye tumor diagnosis but is not detected and treated until months to years later. Here, we use microarray gene expression data to identify a new prognostic marker. EXPER...
