科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 皮肤病学 皮肤病学
背景情况:
- 由于BRCA1-关联蛋白-1 (BAP1) 基因的生殖基因突变,BAP1-失活的黑色素细胞瘤 (BIMTs) 与零星病例和家族性倾向综合征有关.
- 了解BAP1-无活化黑色素瘤 (BIM) 的独特特征对于将其与BAP1-无活化黑色素瘤区分开来至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究BAP1-非活化黑色素细胞瘤 (BIMs) 的临床特征,组织病理学和染色体拷贝数变化 (CNAs).
- 为了将BIM的特征与BAP1无活化的黑色素瘤的特征进行比较.
主要方法:
- 使用电子医疗记录搜索引擎 (EMERSE) 对BAP1无活化的黑色素细胞瘤 (BIMTs) 的回顾性分析.
- 在BIMTs上进行了单核酸多态 (SNP) 微阵列测试.
- 临床病史,组织病理特征和SNP微阵列结果被系统地记录下来.
主要成果:
- BAP1失活的黑色素细胞瘤 (BIMs) 呈现出可变的细胞学特征和1/mm2的中位数线粒细胞计数,明显低于黑色素瘤 (3/mm2).
- BIMs的中位数为两种副本数变化 (CNA),而黑色素瘤则为七种,这表明基因组形状不那么复杂.

Negative Regulator Molecules
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.
Abnormal Proliferation
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...
Anaphase Promoting Complex
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

The Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
Internal cellular stress, such as cellular injury or hypoxia, triggers intrinsic apoptosis. The B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. For example, during DNA damage, checkpoint proteins, such as Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM protein) and Checkpoints Factor-2 (Chk2) proteins, are activated. These proteins phosphorylate p53 which further activates pro-apoptotic proteins, such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, and Noxa, and inhibits...
