The prognosis of brain anaplastic cancers and glioblastomas remains extremely poor, with devastating survival expectative, and new molecular markers and therapeutic targets are essential. Epigenetic changes constitute an extensive field for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Histone acetyl transferase-1 (HAT1) has merged as a potential prognostic marker and therapy target for different malignancies. Data repository analysis showed HAT1 mRNA overexpression in gliomas and has been described its alternative splicing in glioblastomas. Using immunohistochemical and aptahistochemical methods, we analyzed the expression of HAT1 in meningiomas, oligodendrogliomas, and astroglial cancers. We observed that HAT1 overexpression is associated with the most aggressive tumor types and the worse prognosis, as well as with a higher probability of early relapse in meningiomas. Its cytosolic localization correlates with tumor progression and prognosis. Aptamers, synthetic oligonucleotides capable to bind and inhibit a wide variety of targets, are considered as promising diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Aptahistochemistry using the aptamer apHAT610 offered superior results in comparison with the antibody used, as a good example of the potential of aptamers as diagnostic tools for histopathology.","PeriodicalId":16079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"585-599"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11423361/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142046756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, we generated another anti-low-sulfated KS monoclonal antibody, 294-1B1. Immunohistochemical analysis of testicular GCTs (n=83) revealed that the low-sulfated KS recognized by 294-1B1 is also preferentially expressed in EC but minimally in other GCT histological types. Moreover, immunolabeling with R-10G and 294-1B1 antibodies was resistant to peptide-N-glycosidase F digestion, and EC was not stained with the MECA-79 antibody, indicating that low-sulfated KS expressed in EC contains mucin-type core 2 O-glycans carrying GlcNAc-6-O-sulfated oligo-LacNAc. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that R-10G and 294-1B1 antibody signals colocalized with those for podocalyxin (PODXL). Furthermore, western blot analysis of recombinant human PODXL•IgG fusion proteins secreted from low-sulfated KS-expressing human embryonic kidney 293T cells revealed that PODXL functions as a core protein for low-sulfated KS. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that the PODXL glycoform decorated with low-sulfated KS is preferentially expressed in human testicular EC and may therefore serve as a diagnostic marker for this malignancy.","PeriodicalId":16079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"453-465"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11308194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141759153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this study was to determine whether PC clusters are present in human BM and whether clustering changes as a function of age. Quantification of PCs and clustering in BM sections across six different age groups revealed that fewer PCs and PC clusters were observed in the youngest and oldest age groups. PC clustering increased with age until the sixth decade and then began to decrease. A positive correlation between the number of PCs and PC clusters was observed across all age groups. PC clusters were typically heterogeneous for immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain expression. Taken together, these data demonstrate that PC clusters are present in human BM and that PC clustering increases until middle adulthood and then begins to diminish.

The most prominent species difference was noted in pancreatic islets; while FAM159B expression was limited to single cells on the outer edges in mice and rats, it was detectable across entire islets in humans. Double-labeling immunohistochemistry revealed partial overlap of FAM159B expression with that of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin in human islets. By contrast, FAM159B showed complete colocalization with only somatostatin in rats and mice. An additional analysis of FAM159B expression in lean and obese Zucker rats revealed larger islet areas due to increased β-cell mass in obese rats, which was accompanied by a smaller percentage of FAM159B-positive δ-cells per islet area. Beyond the known differences in islet architecture across species, our results point to larger dissimilarities in blood glucose regulation between rodents and humans than generally assumed.

However, accessing these sections for modern molecular-pathological research, like immunohistochemistry, is hindered by the challenge of removing celloidin without damaging tissue. In this study, we explored the use of polyethylene glycols (PEGs), a class of non-hazardous, ethylene glycol oligomers, combined with an improved section mounting technique, to gently and effectively dissolve celloidin from sections archived for up to 40 years. Optimizing our protocol involved exploring celloidin dissolution kinetics in PEGs of varying molecular weights and terminations, as well as different temperatures. Low molecular weight PEGs, particularly PEG 200, were the most efficient celloidin solvent. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of celloidin-PEG 200 dissolution products revealed no chemical alterations, suggesting pure solvation without chemical modification. Because the solvation of celloidin in PEG was inhibited by proteins, we further developed a protein-free mounting protocol allowing complete celloidin removal in 30 to 60 minutes by immersing in PEG 200. In summary, our approach overcomes major methodological hurdles, rendering decades-old archival celloidin sections viable for immunohistochemical and other molecular biological techniques, while enhancing safety and workflow efficiency.","PeriodicalId":16079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"419-433"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11308191/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141759154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Type II collagen is conventionally associated with cartilaginous structures, yet our investigation has identified the presence of type II collagen positive (Col2+) cells within the jawbone development and regeneration. The role of Col2+ cells in jawbone morphogenesis and repair has remained enigmatic. In this study, we analyze single-cell RNA sequencing data from mice jawbone at embryonic day 10.5. Through fate-mapping experiments, we have elucidated that Col2+ cells and their progeny are instrumental in mandibular osteogenesis across both fetal and postnatal stages. Furthermore, lineage tracing with a tamoxifen-inducible CreER system has established the pivotal role of Col2+ cells, marked by Col2-CreER and originating from the primordial Meckel's cartilage, in jawbone formation. Moreover, our research explored models simulating jawbone defects and tooth extraction, which underscored the osteogenic differentiation capabilities of postnatal Col2+ cells during repair. This finding not only highlights the regenerative potential of Col2+ cells but also suggests their versatility in contributing to skeletal healing and regeneration. In conclusion, our findings position Col2+ cells as essential in orchestrating osteogenesis throughout the continuum of mandibular development and repair.","PeriodicalId":16079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry","volume":" ","pages":"221554241259059"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11179589/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141246856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
