Abstract
Current models suggest that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) can move to the nuclear periphery for repair. It is unclear to what extent human DSBs display such repositioning. Here we show that the human nuclear envelope localizes to DSBs in a manner depending on DNA damage response (DDR) kinases and cytoplasmic microtubules acetylated by α-tubulin acetyltransferase-1 (ATAT1). These factors collaborate with the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton complex (LINC), nuclear pore complex (NPC) protein NUP153, nuclear lamina and kinesins KIF5B and KIF13B to generate DSB-capturing nuclear envelope tubules (dsbNETs). dsbNETs are partly supported by nuclear actin filaments and the circadian factor PER1 and reversed by kinesin KIFC3. Although dsbNETs promote repair and survival, they are also co-opted during poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition to restrain BRCA1-deficient breast cancer cells and are hyper-induced in cells expressing the aging-linked lamin A mutant progerin. In summary, our results advance understanding of nuclear structure-function relationships, uncover a nuclear-cytoplasmic DDR and identify dsbNETs as critical factors in genome organization and stability.

[PMID: 36219535 PMCID: PMC10092603 DOI: 10.1002/cncy.22654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant effusions secondary to thyroid carcinomas are rare, and publications on this topic are limited. This study presents a large cohort of thyroid carcinomas involving effusion cytology. METHODS A 20-year computerized search for fluid cytology diagnosed with thyroid malignancy was performed. The following data were collected: patients' demographics, clinical findings, and histologic diagnoses. The cytology slides and ancillary tests were reviewed. RESULTS Among 47,593 specimens, 15 thyroid carcinomas involving the pleural fluid from 11 patients were found. There were six males and five females with a mean age of 72 years. Ten patients with available follow-up died of their disease. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) was the only histologic type. Ten cytology cases were available for review. The cytologic findings common to all cases were nonspecific (clusters/three-dimensional architecture, enlarged irregular nuclei, and scant to abundant to vacuolated cytoplasm). The classic PTC features were not present in all cases (fine/powdery chromatin [80%], micronucleoli [70%], nuclear grooves [50%], papillary-like architecture [40%], psammoma bodies [40%], and pseudo-nuclear inclusions [20%; present on the cell block only]). In 11 of the 15 cases, the diagnosis was rendered with immunohistochemical stains performed on the cell block (paired box 8, thyroid transcription factor 1, and thyroglobulin). In four of the 15 cases, the cytologic diagnosis was made after a comparison with prior surgical pathology or fluid cytology. CONCLUSIONS PTC is the most common histologic type of thyroid malignancy involving pleural effusion. Because the cytologic findings are nonspecific and classic PTC features are not always present, the clinical history in conjunction with immunohistochemical stains is helpful in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

Abstract
AIM To summarize the cytomorphology and immunocytochemistry features of OGCT in ascites or peritoneal washings. METHODS All cases of histology sections, cytology smears, cell block slides and immunohistochemical staining were reviewed. A panel of immunohistochemistry antibodies consisting of Inhibin, Calretinin, BerEP4 and MC was performed for diagnosis and differential diagnosis. RESULTS Seven positive cases (21.2%) in ascites and peritoneal washings were identified in 33 patients with OGCT, which is higher than early studies with positive rate of 7.4%. Clinicopathologic features including tumor size and the incidence of endometrial atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma (EAH/EC) displayed no statistical difference between groups with positive and negative cytology. Immunocytochemical results usually showed typical staining pattern with α-inhibin, calretinin positive and BerEP4, MC negative. Features of granulosa cells, including nuclear hyperplasia and overlapping, can be observed in all seven positive cases. Nuclear grooves or small conspicuous nucleoli were occasionally observed in the smear. However, features of cell clusters mimicking Call-Exner bodies, cytoplasmic vacuoles or single cell necrosis were not found on smear. Call-Exner bodies and mitosis can only be found on cell blocks. All cases of follow-up information were available and three cases displayed progression and there was a statistical difference between groups with positive and negative cytology. CONCLUSION OGCT with positive cytology in ascites and peritoneal washings tend to have a larger tumor size and higher rates of disease progression. A panel of complementary biomarkers can greatly increase the detection rate and help in differential diagnosis in ascites or peritoneal washings of OGCT.

Abstract
Granulosa cell tumors are uncommon ovarian neoplasms, predominantly of the adult type (AGCT). In this report, we present a rare case of a patient with metastatic AGCT to the stomach diagnosed with endoscopic ultrasound–guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). A 61-year-old woman without a history of AGCT underwent both a vaginal and an abdominal ultrasound that showed a solid and cystic ovarian mass along with a solid mass in the gastric antral wall. Subsequently, an EUS-FNA was performed to assess the gastric lesion. Cytologic findings showed high cellularity, and the groups of neoplastic cells invaded the muscle layer of the stomach. Notably, these cells formed Call-Exner bodies, whereas some nuclei exhibited nuclear grooves. Immunohistochemistry was performed, revealing positivity for α-inhibin, calretinin, and CD56 in the neoplastic cells, whereas chromogranin, synaptophysin, CD117, and DOG1 were negative. The combination of clinical presentation, radiology, cytomorphology, and immunohistochemistry could facilitate the diagnosis of metastatic AGCT and the management of such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gynecologic sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs) arise from sex cords of the embryonic gonad and may display malignant behavior. We describe the cytomorphologic features of SCSTs in females, including adult and juvenile granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs and JGCTs), Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs), and steroid cell tumors (SCTs). METHODS We retrieved available cytology slides from females with a histologic diagnosis of sex cord-stromal tumor between 2009 and 2020 from institutional archives and reviewed their cytoarchitectural features. RESULTS There were 25, 2, 2, and 1 cytology specimens from 19, 2, 2, and 1 patients (aged 7-90 years, median 57 years) with AGCT, JGCT, SLCT, and SCT, respectively. Features common to all SCSTs included 3-dimensional groups, rosettes, rare papillary fragments, abundant single cells and naked nuclei. Rosettes and a streaming appearance of cell groups were only seen in AGCTs, which also rarely featured eosinophilic hyaline globules and metachromatic stroma. AGCTs exhibited high nuclear:cytoplasmic (N:C) ratios, with mild nuclear pleomorphism, uniform nuclei with finely granular chromatin, nuclear grooves and small nucleoli; in contrast, other SCSTs lacked rosettes and nuclear grooves and had generally lower N:C ratios, greater nuclear pleomorphism, coarse chromatin and more abundant cytoplasm. Mitotic figures, necrosis, and inflammation were rarely identified. CONCLUSIONS AGCTs show cytomorphologic features that are distinct from those of other SCSTs. Careful evaluation of the cytological features and ancillary studies (eg, immunochemistry for FOXL2, inhibin and calretinin, or sequencing for FOXL2 mutations) can aid in the accurate diagnosis of these tumors.

Abstract
Anamnesis: A 5-year-old mixed breed entire bitch was presented with bloody vaginal discharge and abdominal distension. Clinical and laboratory findings: Physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography suggested the presence of a left ovarian tumor. At histopathological examination it was diagnosed as granulosa cell tumor. Treatment approach: An exploratory laparotomy was performed followed by ovariohysterectomy to remove the intra-abdominal mass. Conclusion: The clinical, ultrasonographic and histologic signs in this case support other literature reports. Ultrasonography, in combination with histopathologic analysis is a fundamental tool for detection of ovarian tumors, especially tumors of the granulosa cells.

Abstract
The detection of tumor cells and clusters in pleural effusion assists in the diagnosis of lung cancer. The proportion of tumor cells and clusters to the total number of cells in each patient varies substantially due to individual differences and the severity of the disease. The identification of one tumor cell or cluster from a large number of pleural effusions is the main challenge for hydrothorax tumor cell detection techniques. In the present study, by using A549 lung cancer and Met-5A mesothelial cell lines, a label-free microfluidic chip based on cell cluster size was designed. By setting the parameters of the chip, individual cells and clusters were able to enter different microfluidic channels. Subsequent to non-specific staining, the recovered components were stained using acridine orange (AO). A charge-coupled device camera was used to captured images of the cell, and the features of these cells were analyzed in their R and G channels using Matlab software to establish the characteristics and finally differentiate between the tumor and non-tumor cell or clusters. According to the results, when inlet A and B were under a velocity of 10 and 8.5 ml/h, respectively, the tumor cell clusters were successfully collected through microfluidic channels III–V, with a recovery rate of ~80%. Subsequent to staining with AO, the feature values in the R and G channels were identified, and initial differentiation was achieved. The present study combined the microfluidic chip, which is based on cluster size, with a computer identification method for pleural effusion. The successful differentiation of tumor cell clusters from non-tumor clusters provides the basis for the identification of tumor clusters in hydrothorax.

Malignant ascites occurs most often in patients with high-grade serous papillary ovarian cancer at initial diagnosis: a retrospective analysis of 191 women treated at Bayreuth Hospital, 2006-2015. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2018; 299:515-523.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant ascites often develops in patients with ovarian cancer, but there is a lack of more detailed characterization of the different histological subtypes. METHODS Ascites specimens from patients with ovarian cancer who were treated at Bayreuth Hospital from 2006 to 2015, with follow-up until December 2016, were reevaluated retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 191 women (mean age 64 years, range 48-79) were included, of whom 180 (94.2%) had carcinoma, three (1.6%) had malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMTs), four (2.1%) had sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs), three (1.6%) had germ cell tumors (GCTs), and one (0.5%) had a sarcoma. The carcinoma group comprised 134 (70.1%) patients with high-grade serous papillary ovarian cancer, 17 (8.9%) with low-grade serous papillary ovarian cancer, 10 (5.3%) with mucinous carcinomas, nine (4.7%) with endometrioid carcinomas, six (3.1%) with clear cell carcinomas, and four (2.1%) with neuroendocrine tumors. The latter group consisted of two patients with mixed neuroendocrine-nonneuroendocrine tumors (MiNENs), one with only a small cell carcinoma (SCCO), and one with a mucinous carcinoid. The noncarcinomatous group of eight patients (4.2%) included three (1.6%) with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor and mature cystic teratoma (MCT), one (0.5%) with a granulosa cell tumor, and one with a leiomyosarcoma. A statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients with malignant ascites was observed, at 17.7% (3/17) in those with low-grade serous papillary ovarian cancer and 91.8% (123/134) in those with high-grade serous papillary ovarian carcinomas. In both patients with MiNEN, the glandular tumor cell component was found in the ascites. Tumor cells were found in the ascitic fluid in 50% (5/10) of patients with mucinous ovarian carcinomas, 16.7% (1/6) of those with clear cell carcinomas, and 33.3% (1/3) of those with MMMTs. The two patients (2/3; 66.7%) with neoplastic squamous cell components in MCT and the only patient with a granulosa cell tumor in the SCST group (1/4; 25%) had malignant cell populations in the ascites, whereas patients with endometrioid cell carcinoma and leiomyosarcoma lacked tumor cells in the ascites. The malignant ascites was detected at the initial diagnosis in all 138 (100%) patients with ovarian neoplasms. CONCLUSIONS High-grade serous papillary ovarian cancer was the main histological subtype most frequently found in ascites fluid in this series. The significant difference (P < 0.00001) in the malignancy rate in comparison with low-grade serous papillary carcinoma confirms the histological distinction between the two entities. Initial evidence of ovarian cancer in ascites fluid allows correct primary diagnosis in cytology specimens and is important for staging and prognosis.

Abstract
Adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) presenting with massive ascites and elevated serum CA-125 levels have rarely been described in the literature. An ovarian mass, massive ascites, and elevated serum CA-125 levels in postmenopausal women generally suggest a malignant ovarian tumor, particularly advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. AGCT has low 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography/computed tomography due to its low metabolic activity. In the present report, we describe a case of an AGCT with massive ascites, elevated serum CA-125 level, and low 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
