まとめ
甲状腺の両側で発生するほとんどの早期の乳毛性甲状腺がん (PTC) は独立して発症する. ペアリングされた腫瘍の遺伝子解析は 異なる分子プロフィールを明らかにし 単一の原発的な病変から広がるのではなく 独立した起源を示唆しました
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 遺伝学
- 分子生物学
背景:
- パピラー性甲状腺がん (PTC) は,甲状腺の両方の葉に多焦点疾患として頻繁に現れます.
- これらの独特の腫瘍焦点の起源 (独立発育 vs 内転移) は議論されている.
研究 の 目的:
- 初期段階の双方の乳腺甲状腺がん (PTC) のクローン起源を調査する.
- 双方のPTC患者のペア化された原発腫瘍の遺伝的プロフィールを比較する.
主な方法:
- 437の癌遺伝子パネルとミトコンドリア全体のDNA (mtDNA) の配列化は,双方のステージIPTCの15ペアで行われました.
- 核およびミトコンドリアのゲノムにおける体内および異体性変異を分析し,ペアリングされた腫瘍を比較した.
主要な成果:
- BRAFV600Eが優勢であった.
- mtDNAで新型と異質変異が特定されました.
- 双方のPTC症例の86. 7%で異なった遺伝子変異が観察され,異なる変異パターンを示した.
結論:
- 初期段階の双方のPTCのほとんどは,異なる遺伝的背景を持つ独立した悪性クローンから生じる.
- これらの発見は,多焦点PTCの独立した腫瘍形成の仮説を支持する.
- 双方のPTCの異なる起源を理解することは,個別化された臨床意思決定を導くために不可欠です.

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics
8.0K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
12.7K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Non-nuclear Inheritance
21.7K
Most DNA resides in the nucleus of a cell. However, some organelles in the cell cytoplasm—such as chloroplasts and mitochondria—also have their own DNA. These organelles replicate their DNA independently of the nuclear DNA of the cell in which they reside. Non-nuclear inheritance describes the inheritance of genes from structures other than the nucleus.

The Nucleolus
9.1K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...
