MiR-342-3p, an obesity-associated miRNA, has recently been shown to be significantly upregulated in human angiosarcoma compared to benign hemangioma, indicating its potential involvement as a proangiogenic factor.
Consistently, we found that DLC1 is statistically significantly reduced (P < .001 in 5 of 6) and TNFAIP3/A20 is statistically significantly increased (P < .001 in 2 of 3 and P = 0.02 in 1 of 3) in human angiosarcoma compared with normal adjacent endothelium.
Although a number of authors have noted aberrant expression of cytokeratins, CD30, CD117 and neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin and chromogranin A) in AS, intense positive nuclear staining for S100 protein in neoplastic cells has not hitherto been observed.
This article reports on a spindle-cell AS of the scalp notable for aberrant expression of S100, spontaneous regression and recurrence 2 years later at the same site and displaying identical histological and immunohistochemical features.
Our findings revealed that ROCK1 was overexpressed in malignant vascular tumors such as hemangioendotheliomas and angiosarcomas, and ROCK2 was overexpressed in both benign and malignant vascular tumors including hemangiomas, hemangioendotheliomas, hemangiopericytomas, and angiosarcomas. shRNA-mediated knockdown of ROCK2, but not ROCK1, in xenograft vascular tumors significantly reduced tumor size and proliferative index compared to control tumors.
The results of the present study indicated that a number of potential target genes, including AXL receptor tyrosine kinase, coatomer subunit α, DR1-associated protein 1 and ERBB receptor feedback inhibitor 1 may be involved in the effect of propranolol on angiosarcoma.
This is a case report of a cutaneous angiosarcoma of the lower anterior abdomen showing increased FDG uptake on F-FDG PET/CT mimicking a cutaneous metastasis in an 84-year-old woman with cervical cancer.

Further investigations into the regulatory mechanisms of oncogenesis associated with miR-210/E2F3/ephrin A3 signalling may lead to a new therapeutic approach against angiosarcoma.
We subsequently evaluated the reactivity of panmelanocytic cocktail (tyrosinase, HMB-45 and Melan-A), SOX10, tyrosinase and MITF in a large tissue microarray (TMA) of angiosarcoma.

Angiosarcomas in <i>aP2-Cre;Dicer1<sup>Flox/-</sup></i> mice histologically and genetically resemble human angiosarcoma. miR-23 target genes, including the oncogenes <i>Ccnd1</i> as well as <i>Adam19, Plau</i>, and <i>Wsb1</i> that promote invasiveness and metastasis, were enriched in mouse and human angiosarcoma.

MicroRNA-214 levels were high in 2 epithelial tumours (thyroid and mammary carcinomas) and 4 non-epithelial tumours (osteosarcoma, histiocytic sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and hemangiosarcoma).
In contrast, microRNA-126 levels were high in 6 epithelial tumours (mammary, hepatocellular, squamous cell, thyroid, transitional cell carcinomas, and adenocarcinoma) and 4 non-epithelial tumours (osteosarcoma, mast cell tumour, melanoma, and hemangiosarcoma).
