概括
这项研究揭示了胸膜神经内分泌瘤 (TNET) 的分子异质性. ASCL1和YAP1的共同表达定义了高等级的TNET,特别是大细胞神经内分泌癌 (LCNEC),表明了不同的TF景观.
科学领域:
- 癌症学
- 分子病理学
- 内分泌学
背景情况:
- 胸膜神经内分泌瘤 (TNET) 是一种罕见的,具有有限治疗选择的恶性瘤.
- 小细胞肺癌 (SCLC) 的分类使用像ASCL1,NEUROD1,POU2F3和YAP1这样的转录因子 (TF).
- 跨越网络的TF景观不清楚,这促使对基于SCLC的分类适用性进行调查.
研究的目的:
- 调查基于TF的分类系统从SCLC到TNET的适用性.
- 定义各种TNET亚型的TF景观,包括大细胞神经内分泌癌 (LCNEC),胸腺小细胞癌 (TSCC),非典型癌 (AC) 和典型癌 (TC).
主要方法:
- 对16个病理确认的TNET进行了回顾性分析.
- 免疫组织化学测定神经内分泌 (NE) 标记物 (合成素,染色素A,CD56) 和TFs (ASCL1,NEUROD1,POU2F3,YAP1).
- 根据TF概况计算TF表达的H分数和瘤的分类.
主要成果:
- 在LCNEC和TSCC中呈现变异性表达.
- ASCL1的表达很高 (93.8%),而NEUROD1和POU2F3的表达很少.
- YAP1的表达仅限于LCNEC,与ASCL1共同表达. 这些TNET被分为ASCL1+/ YAP1,ASCL1/ YAP1双阳性和双阴性子组.
结论:
- 胸膜神经内分泌瘤具有显著的分子异质性.
- ASCL1 和 YAP1 的共同表达是 LCNEC 的定义特征,在高等级的 TNET 中表明了独特的 TF 景观.
- 基于TF的分类可以提供TNET亚型和潜在的治疗策略的见解.

General Transcription Factors
5.5K
Tissue-specific transcription factors contribute to diverse cellular functions in mammals. For example, the gene for beta globin, a major component of hemoglobin, is present in all cells of the body. However, it is only expressed in red blood cells because the transcription factors that can bind to the promoter sequences of the beta globin gene are only expressed in these cells. Tissue-specific transcription factors also ensure that mutations in these factors may impair only the function of...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
8.9K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...
