 AEGiS-10CROI: SDF-1 Production by Dendritic Cells.
Expression of SDF-1 was assessed in an in vitro model of dendritic cell differentiation using flow cytometry, western blot, and RT-PCR techniques.
METHODS: Characterization of SDF-1 producing cells in paraffin-embedded and frozen sections in normal tonsils and lymph nodes from HIV-infected patients at different clinical stages was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques, using specific antibodies against SDF-1, CD1a, and dendritic cells antigens.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the presence of SDF-1 producing cells in the parafollicular T-cell region and the SDF expression in endothelial and dendritic cells could account for the low propagation of X4 HIV strains in early stages of infection in which lymphoid organs structure is still conserved.

The changes observed in the parafollicular cell system resembled lesions seen in human thyroid glands with the familial variant of medullary carcinoma as well as those reported in thyroid glands of patients with longstanding hypercalcemia.
Thyroid glands from 64 bulls with hyperplastic and/or neoplastic changes in ultimobranchial remnants and in the parafollicular (C) cell system were studied structurally and with immunohistochemical methods.
Differentiated follicular cells that formed thyroid follicles and cribriform structures with immunohistochemical evidence of thyroglobulin production were also found.

The VEGF mRNA levels were higher in the thyroid cancer cell lines than in primary cultures of normal thyroid cells, and higher in thyroid cancers of follicular than those of parafollicular cell origin.
The higher levels of VEGF expression in differentiated thyroid cancers of follicular cell origin suggests a role in oncogenesis.
Deparafinized sections of papillary, follicular, and Hurthle cell cancers also stained much stronger than those of medullary thyroid cancers, benign, or hyperplastic (Graves' disease) thyroid tissue.

 Pathology Seminars, SGPGI: Classification of Primary Thyroid Tumors
Inclusion of oncocytic (Hurthle cell) tumours under follicular tumours is not accepted by some workers who consider oncocytic carcinoma as a distinct entity because of its greater propensity for nodal metastasis.
Some newly described prognostically important variants of papillary carcinoma like diffuse follicular variant, and tall cell and columnar variants are also not emphasized in the revised WHO classification.
The first classification of thyroid tumours was published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1974 which was subsequently revised in 1988.
