High-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) and synovial sarcoma display similar angiogenic profiles: a nude mice xenograft study

Abstract: BackgroundGastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the most common primary mesenchymal tumour of the gastrointestinal tract. Spindle cell monophasic synovial sarcoma (SS) can be morphologically similar. Angiogenesis is a major factor for tumour growth and metastasis. Our aim was to compare the angiogenic expression profiles of high-risk GIST and spindle cell monophasic SS by histological, immunohistochemical and molecular characterisation of the neovascularisation established between xenotransplanted tumours … Show more

“…11 Although further studies are needed to corroborate these findings, present observations show that in sarcomas, a higher aggressive behavior is associated with an early overexpression of angiogenic factors. [11][12][13] In addition to angiogenic factors, chemokines also play an important role during angiogenic induction. The co-expression of ligands and chemokine receptors in neoplastic cells suggests that autocrine and paracrine stimulation by the tumor cells results in production of angiogenic factors in response to hypoxia during the first stages of tumor growth, as reported in other neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions.…”

“…Xenograft studies in mice constitute an invaluable source of evidence about the angiogenetic mechanisms in GISTs. Our fundamental conceptualization about the orchestration of the angiogenetic process descended from Giner et al [ 18 ]. They utilized an intensely CD117, DOG1 and CD34-positive GIST with continual Ki-67 expression in about 15% of the tumor’s mass.…”

“…As regards the chemokine expression, CXCL9, CXCL10, GRO and their receptors CXCR3, CXCR2 were stained in tumor cells and stroma soon after the implantation with a slight staining predominance of the chemokine receptors. These effects are possibly orchestrated by hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)1α and the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis, which are constantly expressed[ 18 ].…”
