The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.

Short tandem repeats genotyping of gestational choriocarcinoma – our experiences

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology
Objective: This short communication demonstrates how short tandem repeat genotyping can identify the origin of gestational choriocarcinoma. Materials and methods: The origin of gestational choriocarcinoma in our three cases was determined using the short

A Rare Case of Metastatic Choriocarcinoma of Lung Origin

Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2017
Choriocarcinoma is part of the spectrum of gestational trophoblastic disease that occurs in women of reproductive age. Although the most common metastatic site of choriocarcinoma is the lung, primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is rare. To diagnose primary

Zika Virus Induces Apoptosis in Retinal Pigmented Epithelial Cells [PDF]

, 2020
Zika virus is a single-stranded positive sense RNA virus that attracted international attention in 2015 when an epidemic broke out in Brazil. This vector borne virus is transmitted by mosquitos and is especially concerning for pregnant women because the ...

Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference targeting the H19 gene inhibits cell proliferation and apoptosis in human choriocarcinoma cell line JAR [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: H19 is a paternally imprinted gene that has been shown to be highly expressed in the trophoblast tissue. Results from previous studies have initiated a debate as to whether noncoding RNA H19 acts as a tumor suppressor or as a tumor promotor ...

A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

ErbBs inhibition by lapatinib blocks tumor growth in an orthotopic model of human testicular germ cell tumor [PDF]

, 2018
In this work, we have analyzed the expression of different members of the ErbB family in human samples of testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs). We observed expression of ErbB1 or ErbB2 in different tumor subtypes, but we also found high expression of ErbB3

Diagnostic yield of OCT3/4 reflex testing in testicular biopsy

Histopathology, EarlyView.
GCNIS detection frequency was 48/3353 (1.4%) testicular biopsies from 42/1870 (2.2%) men who underwent testicular biopsy with or without testicular sperm extraction (TESE). OCT3/4 was particularly helpful for detecting interstitial seminoma, GCNIS coexisting with mature spermatogenesis, and focal GCNIS.

Cervical poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with dominant choriocarcinomatous pattern: A case report [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2015
Introduction. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN), choriocarcinoma in coexistence with primary cervical adenocarcinoma, is a rare event not easy to diagnose. Choriocarcinoma is a malignant form of GTN but curable if metastases do not appear

Immunophenotypic assessment of pure embryonal carcinoma and yolk sac tumour suggests that reprogramming to non‐seminoma occurs outside the spermatogonial niche

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Immunohistochemical analysis of transcription factors in GCNIS associated with pure EC and YST suggests that reprogramming to non‐seminoma occurs outside the spermatogonial niche. In these tumors, reprogramming may occur immediately upon invasion of the stroma or within seminiferous tubules but outside the spermatogonial niche (i.e., in intratubular ...
