Prognostic and biological role of neurotrophin-receptor TrkA and TrkB in neuroblastoma 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Expression of different neurotrophin receptors of the tyrosine kinase (Trk) family plays an important role in the biology and clinical behavior of neuroblastomas (NB). Observations from several independent studies suggest that high expression of TrkA is present in NB with favorable biological features and highly correlated with patient survival, whereas TrkB is mainly expressed on unfavorable, aggressive NB with MYCN-amplification. To determine expression of Trk receptors and ligands in primary NB, we developed a reliable semiquantitative duplex RT-PCR protocol, that requires only 1 microgram RNA per tumor sample. Activation of TrkA by its ligand nerve growth factor (NGF) initiates a cascade of signaling events and promotes neuronal differentiation in vitro. Activation of TrkB by its ligand brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been associated with proliferation and survival of NB cells. To study Trk signal transduction pathways and their biological effects in NB, we stably expressed TrkA and TrkB cDNA in the human NB cell line SH-SY5Y. Introduction of TrkA and TrkB restored responsiveness of SH-SY5Y cells to the ligands NGF and BDNF, respectively, and resulted in morphological differentiation. Expression of TrkA resulted in growth inhibition of the transfectants compared to parental cells, whereas TrkB transfectants demonstrated an increased proliferation rate. Further insight into the differences of TrkA and TrkB signaling may suggest new options for the treatment of NB. As expression of TrkA is a strong prognostic factor especially in MYCN non-amplified NB, a prospective study of Trk receptor expression using RT-PCR should be performed for German neuroblastoma patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Advances in molecular biological research have led to identification of prognostic factors such as Trk mRNA expression in primitive neuroectodermal tumors of the CNS and neuroblastoma. To study prospectively the importance of these prognostic factors in large groups of homogeneously treated patients, tumor specimens of good quality must be acquired, preserved, and stored at multiple institutions. Immediate freezing of tumor biopsy samples in liquid nitrogen and storage at -70 degrees C are the most commonly used method of tissue preservation for future RNA analysis. PROCEDURE: To evaluate alternative methods of preserving tissue samples for subsequent RNA analysis, we tested a new RNA stabilization solution. Using tumor tissue of two CNS tumor and one neuroblastoma human xenografts, we compared total RNA isolated from tumor tissue stored for 7 days at room temperature in stabilization solution to that of snap-frozen tissue. The quality of the RNA was studied by spectrophotometry, gel electrophoresis, RT-PCR, and gene expression profiling. RESULTS: No major differences were observed in the quality of RNA isolated from tumor samples stored at room temperature in the RNA stabilization solution compared to snap-frozen tumor samples stored at -70 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: High-quality RNA can be prepared from tumor tissue stored at room temperature. Whenever snap freezing is not feasible, pieces of tumor tissue can be treated with RNAlater for subsequent RNA analysis. Short-term storage and shipment of well-preserved tumor tissue are clearly feasible for all institutions, thereby facilitating large multiinstitutional studies of biological prognostic factors. 相似文献

Neuroblastoma (NB) is a rapidly growing, well-vascularized childhood cancer that often presents with metastases. The overall five-year survival in NB is approximately 45% despite multimodality treatment, and therefore there is a clinical need for new therapeutic strategies. NB frequently overexpresses the angiogenic factor VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech/Roche), a humanized anti-VEGF-A antibody, on NB growth in three different xenograft models, chosen to resemble high-risk NB. The human NB cell lines SK-N-AS, IMR-32 and SH-SY5Y, which are poorly differentiated and overexpress VEGF-A, were injected s.c. in immunodeficient mice. Bevacizumab was given intraperitoneally twice weekly at 5 mg/kg body weight, starting at a tumor volume of 0.3 mL. Bevacizumab significantly (p < 0.01-0.05) reduced NB growth in vivo without toxicity by causing a 30-63% reduction of angiogenesis, but had no effect on NB cell survival in vitro. Serum concentrations of VEGF-A increased two- to six-fold during bevacizumab therapy which did not result in faster tumor growth compared with control animals. Based on our experimental data we suggest consideration of bevacizumab in treatment of high-risk NB that does not respond to conventional therapy and that overexpresses VEGF. 相似文献

Various procedures of practical significance for grading neuroblastoma are described. The comparability of the grading procedures was studied on the basis of a series of 75 cases of neuroblastoma. When the grading procedure of Hughes et al. was applied to the material collected at the Childhood Tumor Registry in Kiel, the proportions of the various grades of malignancy agreed with the data on the collection in Manchester. More than 50% of the cases of neuroblastoma were undifferentiated, corresponding to grade III. An anaplastic type of neuroblastoma is also described. When applying grading procedures, one has to take the possible variations in the histologic picture of neuroblastoma into consideration. 相似文献

During the period from 1979 until 1984 55 children were registered: 4 in Evan-stage I, 13 in stage II, 16 in stage III, 18 in stage IV and 4 in stage IV-S. 39 of these 55 patients have been followed for a minimum of two years. The current two year survival rate is 10/10 in stages I and II, 6/13 in stage III, 3/14 in stage IV and 2/2 in stage IV-S. These results demonstrate but a slight improvement in patients with stage II since the last Austrian statistic 1974. Despite modern chemotherapy the chance for survival of children with stage III or IV neuroblastoma is poor and better treatment modalities should be searched for. 相似文献

The selective uptake and accumulation of 131J-Metaiodobenzylguanidine in neuroblastoma cells in vivo may be utilized for targeted irradiation. The experience with 32 neuroblastoma patients refractory to conventional high dose chemotherapy is reported. At diagnosis 8 patients had Evans stage III and 22 stage IV. 11/32 experienced recurrences after complete tumor disappearance and before mIBG treatment, 16/32 progressed from residual or nonresponding tumor and in 3/32 insufficient tumor regression by chemotherapy was observed. 2 children received one mIBG course each with no evidence of disease. Mean applied activity was 128 mCi per course (35-300 mCi), 360 mCi per patient (80-1033 mCi) and 19.2 mCi/kg per patient (3.2-37.9 mCi/kg), respectively. A total of 84 courses was given (mean 2.6 per patient). Pain relief was noticed in 14/14 patients with bone pain. Complete or very good partial remission was achieved in 5/32, partial remission in 11/32 and stable disease in 6/32 patients. In 8 children progression occurred and 2 patients were not evoluable. 20 children died, 12 are still alive (6 patients with initial stage IV, 6 with stage III disease). Main side effect was transient thrombocytopenia, which became more severe with increasing number of courses. We conclude that mIBG treatment is effective in some patients with refractory neuroblastoma and may be utilized in the future as front line therapy for patients achieving only incomplete regressions after high dose chemotherapy. 相似文献

Effect of combined cyclooxygenase-2 and matrix metalloproteinase inhibition on human sarcoma xenografts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
PURPOSE: Sarcomas express cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, an inducible enzyme with known tumor-promoting activity. COX-2 inhibition is efficacious against many cancer types but has not been tested for human sarcomas. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors also possess antiproliferative activity. Because MMP inhibitor therapy induces COX-2 expression, the authors hypothesized that the combination of COX-2 and MMP inhibitors results in a synergistic antitumor effect. METHODS: Human osteosarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma cells were injected into athymic mice. Tumor development and growth were measured following treatment with a COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib), an MMP inhibitor (doxycycline), or both. The tumors were analyzed for necrosis, apoptosis, cyclooxygenase activity (PGE2 production), and MMP-2 levels. RESULTS: When treatment was started prior to tumor cell implantation, doxycycline inhibited osteosarcoma tumor growth alone and in combination with celecoxib (30% and 33% reduction, respectively). An effect on osteosarcoma tumor implantation rates was noted in mice receiving doxycycline alone and in combination with celecoxib (12.5% and 6.25% reduction, respectively). Established osteosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma tumors were inhibited only by combination therapy (36% and 55%, respectively). A higher proportion of osteosarcoma tumors in the combination therapy group had more than 50% necrosis (3/7) when compared with control tumors (0/8). Antitumor effects did not correlate with PGE2 levels, suggesting the observed interaction with doxycycline was due to previously described non-enzymatic effects of celecoxib. CONCLUSIONS: The authors' preclinical data suggest that the combination of inexpensive, nontoxic, oral COX-2 and MMP inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of some types of solid tumors. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: High-affinity somatostatin receptors (SRs) have been characterized in neuroblastomas and may be used as target structures for in vivo detection of SR. PROCEDURE: Eighty-eight children with histologically proven neuroblastoma were investigated at diagnosis or relapse by (123)I-mIBG and (111)In-pentetreotide scintigraphy. All tumors were investigated for MYCN copy number, chromosome 1p36 status, and 68/88 also for DNA content, followed for a median follow-up of 35 months (range 1-88 months). RESULTS: SR expression was detected in 56/88 tumors and (123)I-mIBG showed positivity in 83/88. (111)In-pentetreotide was less sensitive in detecting tumor tissue than was (123)I-mIBG (64% vs. 94%, P = 0.005). Survival (SUR) and event-free survival probability (EFS) according to Kaplan-Meier was significantly better for children with positive SR scintigraphy than for the children with a negative SR scan (SUR: 90% vs. 48% at 4 years log rank P < 0.003, EFS: 83% vs. 39% at 4 years, log rank P < 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: (123)I-mIBG scintigraphy remains the best scintigraphic method for detecting neuroblastoma tumor tissue, whereas additional SR scintigraphy is able to provide significant prognostic information with a minimum of invasiveness. 相似文献
