Disease relevance of Choriocarcinoma

  • The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein is drastically up-regulated by hypoxia in choriocarcinoma cells, whereas expression of PIGF is not affected by the low concentration of oxygen [1].
  • Thus under identical culture conditions, a bronchogenic carcinoma clonal line secreted only alpha-subunit, whereas a choriocarcinoma line secreted only HCG; these findings implied major differences in cellular control mechanisms [2].
  • Concentrations up to 50 000 microgram/l were found in the sera of patients with hydatidiform mole, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and malignant teratoma. beta1-glycoprotein concentrations were generally much lower than corresponding concentrations of chorionic gonadotrophin which is the most reliable marker for trophoblastic tumours [3].
  • To examine the role of trophoblast differentiation in the expression of the hCG and hPL genes, we studied the cytological distribution of their messenger RNA (mRNA) in tissue sections of human hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma by in situ hybridization [4].
  • RNA transcripts of the HERV-R (ERV3) human provirus that are abundant in placenta but absent in choriocarcinoma contain nonproviral genomic sequences at their 3' ends [5].
