Genetic Signature of Histiocytic Sarcoma Revealed by a Sleeping Beauty Transposon Genetic Screen in Mice
Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare, aggressive neoplasm that responds poorly to therapy. Histiocytic sarcoma is thought to arise from macrophage precursor cells via genetic changes that are largely undefined. To improve our understanding of the etiology of histiocytic sarcoma we conducted a forward genetic screen in mice using the Sleeping Beauty transposon as a mutagen to identify genetic drivers o...
متن کاملPulmonary Histiocytic Sarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
Pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma is a rare, but highly malignant disease. Its low incidence imposes significant difficulties on physicians confronted with affected patients. The reported patient is a 24-year old male with histiocytic sarcoma of the lung. Left lower lobectomy was performed. Histologically, tumor cells had no features of carcinoma. Several entities were raised as differentials: larg...
متن کاملEvaluation of Costimulatory Molecules in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Canine Patients with Histiocytic Sarcoma
Histiocytic sarcoma is a rapidly progressive and fatal neoplastic disease in dogs. It is unclear whether costimulatory molecules, including CD28, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), and programmed death-1 (PD-1), are expressed on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of canine patients with histiocytic sarcoma. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of CD28, ...
متن کاملPrimary huge histiocytic sarcoma of the stomach: a case report and systematic review
Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a very rare lympho hematopoietic malignant neoplasm. Up to date, only a small number of gastric histiocytic sarcoma has been reported. In the present study, we reported a case of a primary huge histiocytic sarcoma of stomach in a youth man of 20 years old. Imaging examinations showed a large mass in the lesser curvature and antrum of the stomach. Then a distal subtot...
متن کاملCanine histiocytic diseases.
Canine histiocytic diseases are an emerging spectrum of diseases characterized by proliferations of histiocytic cells. Nonneoplastic histiocytic disease (reactive histiocytosis, comprising cutaneous and systemic histiocytosis) is uncommon. Neoplastic histiocytic diseases include cutaneous histiocytoma, which is a benign histiocytic tumor, and localized and disseminated histiocytic sarcoma (prev...
متن کاملNLRX1 suppresses tumorigenesis and attenuates histiocytic sarcoma through the negative regulation of NF-λB signaling
Histiocytic sarcoma is an uncommon malignancy in both humans and veterinary species. Research exploring the pathogenesis of this disease is scarce; thus, diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients are limited. Recent publications have suggested a role for the NLR, NLRX1, in acting as a tumor suppressor. Based on these prior findings, we hypothesized that NLRX1 would function to inhibit tum...
