Five of 16 candidate genes are known to be associated with inflammatory or immune response that may be associated with MDD: ANPEP, PRDM1, ZBTB32, MMP8, and ENPEP.
The purpose of the study is to identify the Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) and to determine their expression profiles in different pathological stages of liver cancer by using multiple markers Methods: In this study, the expression profiles of CD133 and CD13, along with those of stem cell markers Oct4 and SOX2, were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting to clarify the character of CSCs in different stages of liver cancer.
Identification of a unique hepatocellular carcinoma line, Li-7, with CD13(+) cancer stem cells hierarchy and population change upon its differentiation during culture and effects of sorafenib.
APN/CD13 was mainly expressed in the cellular membrane of cancer cells in pulmonary adenocarcinoma and in the cellular membrane of interstitial cells in squamous carcinoma.
Cytotoxic effect of the synthesized compounds was evaluated against a group of cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, A2780 (α<sub>v</sub>β<sub>3</sub> positive), OVCAR3 (high α<sub>v</sub>β<sub>3</sub>), HT-1-80 (high CD13) and SKOV-3 (CD13 positive).
It may be inferred from these studies that the three radiotracers are promising probes for in vivo imaging of CD13 receptor expressing cancer sites; however, <sup>68</sup> Ga-NODAGA-c(NGR) is a better candidate.
An increased expression of APN has been described in several types of human malignancies, especially those characterized by fast-growing and aggressive phenotypes, suggesting APN as a potential therapeutic target.
These nanomaterials with non-toxic concentrations could cross the BBB and target CD13-overexpressing glioma and tumor vasculature in vitro and in vivo, contributing to fluorescence imaging of this brain malignancy.
The main challenges and future perspectives, mainly with regard to the potential development of APN-targeted therapeutic agents in cancer therapeutics, are also briefly presented and discussed.
The case was referred with a diagnosis of "rule out granulocytic sarcoma versus megakaryocytic malignancy" due to the morphology and a limited flow cytometric immunophenotypic (FCI) panel that had been performed and revealed expression of CD45, HLA-DR, and CD13.
Deregulation of chromatin assembly factor 1, p150 subunit A (CHAF1A) has recently been reported to be involved in the development of some cancer types.
