pubmed:abstractText |
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a common paediatric soft tissue sarcoma that resembles developing foetal skeletal muscle. Tumours of the alveolar subtype frequently harbour one of two characteristic translocations that juxtapose PAX3 or PAX7, and the forkhead-related gene FKHR (FOXO1A). The embryonal subtype of RMS is not generally associated with these fusion genes. Here, we have quantified the relative levels of chimaeric and wild-type PAX transcripts in various subtypes of RMS (n=34) in order to assess the relevance of wild-type PAX3 and PAX7 gene expression in these tumours. We found that upregulation of wild-type PAX3 is independent of the presence of either fusion gene and is unlikely to contribute to tumorigenesis. Most strikingly, upregulated PAX7 expression is almost entirely restricted to cases without PAX3-FKHR or PAX7-FKHR fusion genes and may contribute to tumorigenesis in the absence of chimaeric PAX transcription factors. Furthermore, as myogenic satellite cells are known to express PAX7, this pattern of PAX7 expression suggests this cell type as the origin of these tumours. This is corroborated by the detection of MET (c-met) expression, a marker for the myogenic satellite cell lineage, in all RMS samples expressing wild-type PAX7.
