Beim Tissue Engineering mit prim��ren humanen Chondrozyten ist die Dedifferenzierung w��hrend Zellproliferationsphase in vitro ein limitierender Prozess um eine ausreichende Zellzahl zu generieren f��r die Besiedelung eines klinisch relevanten Produkts. Obwohl Chondrozyten partiell redifferenzieren sobald sie in eine dreidimensionale (3D) Kultur ��berf��hrt werden, entspricht eine neu gebildete Knorpelmatrix nicht der Qualit��t eines Nativknorpels. Es wurde der Einfluss von Hypothermie Bedingungen auf die Dedifferenzierung von humanen Septumchondrozyten untersucht in einer Monolayer Zellkultur zur Proliferation, sowie in einer 3D Pelletkultur. Jede Zellkultur wurde w��hrend Zellproliferation entweder bei 32,2 ��C oder bei 37 ��C kultiviert. Weiter wurden Zellen, die bei diesen Temperaturen proliferiert wurden, in einer Pelletkultur bei 32,2 ��C und bei 37�� C untersucht. Hinwei��gebend auf den zellul��ren Differenzierungsgrad war die Bestimmung der mRNA knorpelspezifischer Zielgene mittels Polymerase Kettenreacktion (PCR) und hieraus gebildete Quotienten (Kollagen II/Kollagen I; Aggrecan/Versican). Ein jeweils h��herer Quotient zeigte einen h��heren Differenzierungsgrad an. Histologische und Immunhistochemische F��rbungen dienten zur Objektivierung vorhandener Proteine in Pelletkultur. In Monolayer wurde die Zellproliferation mittels 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) kolorimetrisch bestimmt. In Monolayer zeigte sich unter dem Einfluss von 32,2 ��C eine signifikant langsamere Zellproliferation verglichen zur Kultur bei 37 ��C, ein Dedifferenzierungsprozess verlief bei 32,2 ��C ebenso langsamer. In Pelletkultur konnte ein Redifferenzierungsprozess bei beiden Temperaturen nachgewiesen werden, dieser zeigte sich in den Kulturen bei 37 ��C ausgepr��gter. M��gliche Vorteile durch langsamere Dedifferenzierung in Monolayer unter 32, 2 ��C werden durch effektivere Redifferenzierungsprozesse bei 37 ��C aufgehoben. Es konnte gezeigt werden dass eine gezielte Verlangsamung der Zellproliferation und Dedifferenzierung bei 32,2 ��C in Monolayer zur Zellproliferation keinen Nachteil hat wenn diese Zellen anschlie��end in eine Pelletkultur bei 37 ��C ��berf��hrt werden.

Thyroid nodules represent heterogeneous tumors with distinct molecular signatures. While benign thyroid nodules correspond to poly- or monoclonal tumors, thyroid carcinomas are monoclonal and thus "real" neoplasms. These are caused by somatic mutations that lead to the constitutive activation of specific signaling cascades and determine the corresponding histology and also partly the functional phenotype of the thyroid tumor. Dedifferentiation of thyroid carcinomas is accompanied by the occurrence of additional mutations in the tumors. The mutation load of thyroid carcinomas correlates with their biological behavior. In clinical practice, detection of somatic mutations can help in the cytological differential diagnosis. In the prognostic assessment of thyroid tumors, proof of classical oncogene mutations (BRAF, RAS) has little relevance. Other genetic alterations, especially TERT promoter mutations that occur with increasing frequency in advanced thyroid carcinomas, probably have a prognostic significance. The molecular signature, however, is of great relevance for the development and application of targeted therapies in advanced carcinomas (radioactive iodine-refractory DTC, PDTC and ATC, metastatic medullary carcinoma). For this, there is increasing evidence from clinical studies and case reports that underline the concept of "oncogene addiction" as a pathogenetically relevant mechanism of thyroid tumorigenesis and carcinogenesis.Schilddrüsenknoten stellen heterogene Tumore dar, mit unterschiedlichen molekularen Signaturen. Während benigne Schilddrüsenknoten poly- oder monoklonalen Tumoren entsprechen, sind Schilddrüsenkarzinome monoklonale und damit „echte“ Neoplasien. Ursächlich für die Neoplasien sind somatische Mutationen, welche zur konstitutiven Aktivierung spezifischer Signalkaskaden führen und den jeweiligen histologischen, teilweise auch den funktionellen Phänotyp des Schilddrüsentumors bestimmen. Eine Dedifferenzierung von Schilddrüsenkarzinomen geht mit dem Auftreten weiterer Mutationen in den Tumoren einher. Die Mutationslast der Schilddrüsenkarzinome korreliert mit deren biologischem Verhalten. Im klinischen Alltag kann die Kenntnis der ursächlichen somatischen Mutation in der zytologischen Differenzialdiagnose helfen. In der prognostischen Einschätzung von Schilddrüsentumoren hat der Nachweis von klassischen Onkogenmutationen (BRAF, RAS) wenig Relevanz. Andere genetische Veränderungen, insbesondere TERT Promoter Mutationen, die mit zunehmender Häufigkeit in fortgeschrittenen SD-Karzinomen auftreten, haben wahrscheinlich eine prognostische Bedeutung. Von großer Relevanz ist die molekulare Signatur jedoch für die Entwicklung und Anwendung passgenauer „zielgerichteter“ Therapien bei fortgeschrittenen Karzinomen (radioiodrefraktäres DTC, PDTC und ATC, metastasiertes medulläres Karzinom). Hierfür gibt es aus klinischen Studien sowie Einzelfallberichten zunehmend Hinweise, die das Konzept der „Oncogen-Addiction“ als pathogenetisch relevanten Mechanismus der SD-Tumorigenese und Karzinogenese unterstreichen.

The rare entity of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) belongs to a group of tumors with a biphasic ductular growth pattern, mostly with a dominating myoepithelial component and low-grade malignancy. We report on the rare constellation of a primary low-malignant EMC with high malignant transformation (so-called dedifferentiation) into a highly malignant myoepithelial carcinoma. In the eight published cases so far, the high-malignant component was reported to be either adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma or was otherwise not specified. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a high-grade myoepithelial carcinoma transforming from a low-grade EMC. We discuss interesting parallels to the pathogenesis of secondary transformation of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.

Due to the late onset of symptoms, retroperitoneal liposarcoma are often diagnosed in advanced stages when adjacent organs have been infiltrated and the tumours have reached extensive sizes. Surgery remains the first choice of therapy. We report on the primary resection of a 45-kg liposarcoma that was removed en-bloc including the left kidney and descending colon with -tumour-free margins. Nine months later, the follow-up revealed a right-sided recurrence of the tumour, which was surgically removed including the right ureter. Since then, the patient has been without any signs of tumour recurrence or metastases. This report demonstrates that even extreme-ly large tumours can be removed safely and that the size is not a contraindication for primary surgical treatment. Local recurrence is common as seen in our case, and occurs even after R0 resection up to 10 years after the first operation. Recurrences should be surgically removed as this is the only treatment which has been shown to increase survival in even R1 and R2 situations.
