HDAC1, a novel marker for benign teratomas.

چکیده
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are non-redundant chromatin-modifying enzymes that are critical cellular regulators and are often overexpressed in cancers. Targeting them by HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) can induce growth arrest, differentiation or apoptosis, making HDACi agents promising anti-cancer drugs, and these are currently being tested in clinical trials. Specific roles of the individual HDAC isoforms are only poorly understood. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, the group of Christian Seiser publishes an unexpected and novel functional role for HDAC1 in tumourigenesis that is distinct from the role of HDAC2. Using an experimental teratoma model to study the role of HDAC1 in tumour formation, they show that loss of HDAC1 is linked to enhanced tumour malignancy; this is contrary to previous reports linking HDAC1 to unrestricted tumour growth. Correlating with this, they suggest that the presence of HDAC1 could provide a biomarker for benign teratomas.

Crucial function of histone deacetylase 1 for differentiation of teratomas in mice and humans
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors induce cell cycle arrest, differentiation or apoptosis in tumour cells and are, therefore, promising anti-cancer reagents. However, the specific HDAC isoforms that mediate these effects are not yet identified. To explore the role of HDAC1 in tumourigenesis and tumour proliferation, we established an experimental teratoma model using wild-type and HDAC1-defi...
متن کاملSacrococcygeal Teratoma: A Case Report
Background: Neonatal tumors are usually prenatally diagnosed or within the irst 30 days of life. The true incidence ofneonatal tumors is unknown as a great number of pregnancies with a prenatally diagnosed mass result in stillbirth ormiscarriage. Most solid neonatal tumors are benign whereas less than 50% of neonatal neoplasms are malignant;however, some tumors with malignant ...

Background: Teratomas are tumors consisting of tissues derived from more than one germ cell line. Teratomas arise, most commonly in anterior mediastinum. Intrapulmonary Teratoma are among the rarest tumors encountered in pathology, in other words they are exceedingly uncommon, with only less than 100 cases documented by 1939. Case presentation: We describe a 19-year-old woman with a short his...

INTRODUCTION Teratoma refers to a neoplasm that recapitulates all three germ layers. Teratomas may be histologically mature and oncologically benign. Teratomas may also be histologically immature while being oncologically benign, or they may harbor malignant components and have the potential to exhibit an aggressive biological behavior. Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare and usua...
