High impact information on Sarcoma

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Sarcoma

  • To explore the generality of the effects of sarcoma viruses, tumor-promoting phorbol esters and retinoic acid, we have studied plasminogen activator production in differentiating chick myogenic cultures [12].
  • The 130 kd transforming protein of Fujinami sarcoma virus (FSV P130gag -fps) possesses a tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity and is itself phosphorylated at several tyrosine and serine residues in FSV-transformed cells [13].
  • Thoracic soft-tissue sarcoma in Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange [14].
  • This action of RA required protein and mRNA synthesis but, in contrast to enzyme induction by PMA and/or sarcoma virus transformation, retinoid effects were not significantly inhibited by elevated concentrations of cAMP [15].
  • Cyclophosphamide delays 3-methylcholanthrene sarcoma induction in mice [16].
  • SUVmax and SUVpeak provided the most robust measurements of tumor glucose metabolism in sarcomas [17].
 

Biological context of Sarcoma

  • Sarcoma MC 11 was originally induced by methylcholanthrene (Meth A ) [22]. C57BL/10Sn mice bearing progressively growing syngeneic sarcomas are immunologically hyporeactive. Their cells synthesize after mitogen stimulation similar amount of mRNA for TNFα and [23] IL-1 [24], but considerably less mRNA for TNFβ [23] and for the inducible 55,000 MW interleukin-2 receptor [25] in comparison with control mice. They also exhibit low response to IL-1 and IL-2 stimulation [26]

 

 

Anatomical context of Sarcoma

  • Of the many cell lines examined, Moloney sarcoma virus-transformed cells had the lowest amounts of alpha 2M [27].
  • A 1.8 kb cDNA clone, Krev-1, with revertant-inducing activity on Kirsten sarcoma virus-transformed NIH/3T3 cells, has been isolated from a human fibroblast cDNA expression library [28].
  • Determination of the ratio of gamma plus beta to zeta actin in different cytoskeletal preparations of intact and enucleated sarcoma 180 cells indicated that this actin species is not localized specifically to any of the major actin-containing structures preserved in the cytoskeletons [29].
  • The adoptive transfer of such lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells to mice with established pulmonary sarcoma metastases was highly effective in reducing the number (and size) of these tumor nodules when combined with repeated injections of recombinant IL-2 [30].
  • A nonimmunogenic sarcoma transduced with the cDNA for interferon gamma elicits CD8+ T cells against the wild-type tumor: correlation with antigen presentation capability [31].
 

Gene context of Sarcoma

  • The jun oncoprotein, which causes sarcomas in chickens, and the DNA-binding domain of yeast GCN4, which coordinately regulates the expression of amino acid biosynthetic genes, show significant homology [32].
  • Human MDM2 is amplified in 30-40% of sarcomas, and is overexpressed in leukaemic cells [33].
  • One hundred percent of mice harboring null Nf1 and p53 alleles in cis synergize to develop soft tissue sarcomas between 3 and 7 months of age [34].
  • EWS-FLI1 or EWS-ERG fusions were detected in six of eight Ewing's sarcomas and one of seven undifferentiated sarcomas [35].
  • We showed that the incubation of resting splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice solely in purified native or recombinant mouse IL-4 results in the generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity directed against fresh, syngeneic sarcoma cells [36].
  • The intrinsic pathway of apoptosis seems sufficient to mediate p53 tumor suppression in an epithelial cancer, but not in this model of soft tissue sarcoma [37].
  • Measuring HIF1a, HB-EGF, and VEGF-C expression may contribute to a better understanding of the prognosis of patients with soft tissue sarcoma and may even play a crucial role for the distribution of patients to multimodal therapeutic regimens [38].
