An experimental model for the study of well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma; deregulation of targetable tyrosine kinase receptors

TLDR
These newly established cellular and xenograft models can facilitate investigation of liposarcomagenesis, dedifferentiation, and tumor progression and may lead to improved therapeutic strategies for patients afflicted by these unfavorable malignancies.

Advances in sarcoma genomics and new therapeutic targets

TL;DR: The core molecular determinants of sarcomagenesis are discussed and the emerging genomic and functional genetic approaches that, coupled with novel therapeutic strategies, have the potential to transform the care of patients with sarcoma are emphasized.

Clinical and Molecular Approaches to Well-differentiated and Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma

TL;DR: Although complete surgical resection is currently the most effective treatment for WDLS and DDLS, the majority of patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma will eventually have recurrence and die of disease.

Axl as a mediator of cellular growth and survival

TL;DR: The oncogenic nature of Axl is demonstrated through its activation of signaling pathways involved in proliferation, migration, inhibition of apoptosis, and therapeutic resistance, which must be analyzed in a cell type-specific context.

Enzinger and Weiss's Soft Tissue Tumors

TL;DR: The Enzinger and Weiss's soft tissue tumors are described, a large number of which consist of "hard-to-reach granuloma-like deposits".

Quantitation of adipose conversion and triglycerides by staining intracytoplasmic lipids with Oil red O.

TL;DR: A fast and simple method to quantitate the extent of adipose conversion by staining the accumulated lipid with Oil red O and determining the amount of extracted dye at 510 nm is reported.

Cyclin D-dependent kinases, INK4 inhibitors and cancer.

TL;DR: A series of mouse models have been developed to study the in vivo function of individual components of this pathway in both normal homeostasis and tumor development, and several novel molecules, such as Cdk inhibitors, are under development as potential anti-cancer drugs.

Terminal differentiation of human liposarcoma cells induced by ligands for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and the retinoid X receptor

TL;DR: PPAR gamma ligands such as thiazolidinediones and RXR-specific retinoids may be useful therapeutic agents for the treatment of liposarcoma, suggesting that the differentiation block in these cells can be overcome by maximal activation of the PPAR pathway.

MDM2 — master regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor protein

TL;DR: Evidence for the existence of three highly conserved regions (CRs) shared by MDM2 proteins and MDMX proteins of different species is presented and potential uses of this knowledge in the fight against cancer are discussed.
