Human | KIF1B | 23095 | kinesin family member 1B | | Human | WASF3 | 10810 | WAS protein family, member 3 | We have identified the WAVE3 gene from Chromosome (Chr) 13q12, as being involved in one of the breakpoints of a t(1:13)(q21:q12) reciprocal translocation, in a patient with ganglioneuroblastoma (Sossey-Alaoui et al. 2002; Oncogene 21: 5967-5974). WAVE3, an actin-polymerization gene, is truncated and inactivated as a result of a constitutional t(1;13)(q21;q12) chromosome translocation in a patient with ganglioneuroblastoma. | Human | PHOX2B | 8929 | paired-like homeobox 2b | | Human | TNFSF12 | 8742 | tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 12 | The mean expression level of Apo-3L was significantly higher in ganglioneuromas/ganglioneuroblastomas compared with neuroblastomas (P=0.001) and in normal brain compared with PNET/medulloblastoma (P<0.0001). | Human | SYP | 6855 | synaptophysin | The monoclonal antibody KP-1 that recognizes the lysosome-associated glycoprotein CD68 was used together with antibodies to other antigens (actin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, keratin, neurofilaments, chromogranin, synaptophysin, S-100 protein, HMB-45, lysozyme, and HLA-DR) in a labeled streptavidin biotin immunoperoxidase method to phenotypically characterize 27 granular cell tumors, five schwannomas, five neurofibromas, two ganglioneuromas, three ganglioneuroblastomas, five carcinoid tumors, five malignant melanomas, and five examples of histiocytosis X. The presence and distribution of pan-neuroendocrine markers such as neuron-specific enolase (NSE), chromogranin (CG), and synaptophysin (SYP) were investigated by immunohistochemistry in 53 cases of neuroblastic tumors, including three cases of ganglioneuromas, 17 ganglioneuroblastomas, and 33 neuroblastomas. All the remaining tumors were neurogenic, showing either neurons and nerve fibers together with Schwann cells (ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas) or endocrine cells (pheochromocytomas) reacting with VIP, PHM, NPY, enkephalin, somatostatin, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, and MAP2 (but not cytokeratin, PP, or GRH) antibodies. | Human | SAG | 6295 | S-antigen; retina and pineal gland (arrestin) | No S-antigen and opsin-like immunoreaction was found in malignant teratomas and germinomas of the pineal gland, oat cell tumors, astrocytomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas, glioblastomas, gangliogliomas, gangliocytoma, ganglioneuroblastomas, neuroblastomas, and esthesioneuroblastoma. | Human | RAB3A | 5864 | RAB3A, member RAS oncogene family | RESULTS. A high rab3A gene expression was observed in tumor samples derived from the neural tube (i.e., neuroblastomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and adult nervous system neoplasms). | Human | PRPH | 5630 | peripherin | CONCLUSIONS: The specificity of the peripherin labeling of NB and the ability of the peripherin antibody to label the entire spectrum of NBs, including ganglioneuroblastomas and ganglioneuromas, indicate that this intermediate filament protein has potential as a diagnostic marker for these related neural crest neoplasms. The antibody specific for peripherin labeled all NBs, including immature NBs, composite ganglioneuroblastomas and ganglioneuromas. | Human | NME1 | 4830 | NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1 | | Human | NCAM1 | 4684 | neural cell adhesion molecule 1 | Ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas express the adhesive 120 kDa NCAM isoform, while neuroblastomas preferentially express the 180 kDa isoform classically involved in cell motility | Human | MYCN | 4613 | v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma derived homolog | In conclusion, ganglioneuroblastoma, intermixed subtype, lack of MYCN amplification, aneuploid DNA content and presence of lymphoid infiltrates may contribute to favorable prognosis in NTs associated with OMS. Heterogeneity of MYCN amplification in a child with stroma-rich neuroblastoma (ganglioneuroblastoma). METHODS: A total of 628 NTs (535 neuroblastomas [NBs]); 21 ganglioneuroblastoma, intermixed [GNBi]; 9 ganglioneuromas [GN]; and 63 ganglioneuroblastoma, nodular [GNBn]) from the Children;s Cancer Group studies were evaluated histologically (favorable histology [FH] tumors vs. unfavorable histology [UH] tumors) according to the International Classification and were tested molecularly for MYCN status (amplified vs. nonamplified). We report a child with stage III favorable histology stroma-rich neuroblastoma (ganglioneuroblastoma) and a poor outcome with an apparent change in MYCN gene amplification by Southern blot. | Human | MAP2 | 4133 | microtubule-associated protein 2 | All the remaining tumors were neurogenic, showing either neurons and nerve fibers together with Schwann cells (ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas) or endocrine cells (pheochromocytomas) reacting with VIP, PHM, NPY, enkephalin, somatostatin, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin, and MAP2 (but not cytokeratin, PP, or GRH) antibodies. | Human | ITGAV | 3685 | integrin, alpha V | Cell adhesion may play a role in metastasis, and we have shown recently that expression of integrin alpha v beta 5 protein and mRNA is up-regulated in ganglioneuroblastomas in vivo. | Human | ID2 | 3398 | inhibitor of DNA binding 2, dominant negative helix-loop-helix protein | Finally, the differentiated neural crest-derived tumor ganglioneuroblastoma coexpresses Id2 and ENH in the cytoplasm of ganglionic cells. | Human | HMGA1 | 3159 | high mobility group AT-hook 1 | In contrast, HMGA1 expression is readily detectable in all NB cell lines and tumors, but its expression is consistently higher in less differentiated NBs compared with ganglioneuromas and ganglioneuroblastomas. | Human | FGF8 | 2253 | fibroblast growth factor 8 (androgen-induced) | In accordance with these in vitro findings, the immunohistochemical analysis on human neurological diseases showed that FGF8 expression is evident in differentiating histological types of neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma, and that the levels of FGF8 immunoreactivity in the substantia nigra from Parkinsons disease are significantly lower than those in age-matched controls. | Human | ENO1 | 2023 | enolase 1, (alpha) | The presence of the two forms of enolase, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and non-neuronal enolase (NNE), have been examined in biopsy material of human neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, ganglioneuroma and cultured neuroblastoma cells, after separation with ion exchange chromatography. | Human | CD68 | 968 | CD68 molecule | The neoplastic cells in all 27 of the granular cell tumors and four of the five schwannomas strongly stained for CD68, whereas none of the neurofibromas, ganglioneuromas, ganglioneuroblastomas, or carcinoid tumors contained CD68-positive tumor cells. The monoclonal antibody KP-1 that recognizes the lysosome-associated glycoprotein CD68 was used together with antibodies to other antigens (actin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, keratin, neurofilaments, chromogranin, synaptophysin, S-100 protein, HMB-45, lysozyme, and HLA-DR) in a labeled streptavidin biotin immunoperoxidase method to phenotypically characterize 27 granular cell tumors, five schwannomas, five neurofibromas, two ganglioneuromas, three ganglioneuroblastomas, five carcinoid tumors, five malignant melanomas, and five examples of histiocytosis X. |
