A round, milkish white mass, approximately $4{\times}4{\times}5cm$ in size was found at the cranial part of the left kidney from a New Zealand White rabbit which was used as an untreated control animal in the safety evaluation test in the Toxicology Research Center, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. The mass was lobulated and encapsulated. The cut surface revealed several round well-circumscribed lobules which were 0.5-3cm in diameter. No metastasis was observed. The microscopic features consisted of blastema and epithelial structures at variable stages of differentiation including primitive tubules, ducts, glomeruloid bodies. Normal mesenchymal cells were distributed among them. A diagnosis of nephroblastoma was made on the basis of the gross and microscopic features.

This paper dealt with histopathological observations of the nephroblastoma in the pregnant pig died on 8 days before paturation day. The results summarized as follows: Authors considered that in necropsy finding the pregnant pig died of circulative and respiratory disturbance by compression of fetus and renal tumor weighing about 12Kg. In microscopical findings of the renal tumor it was composed of well differentiated tumor cells and connective tissue elements. As differentiation of the neoplastic epithelial cells progressed, tubular and cystic structures, and papillary structures resembled to glomeruli appeared. This tumor was regarded as nephrohlastoma.

Nephroblastoma of avian leukosis/sarcoma group was encountered in a Shaver pullet. The tumor, measuring $10{\times}5mm$ in base and 5 mm in height, was located on the surface of anterior lobe of the left kidney. The tumor mass was irregular in shape, firm in consistency and greyish white in color. Histologically, the neoplastic tissues consisted of embryonal uriniferous tubules and fibrosarcomatous stroma.

Background: Cancer is a subject of continuing concern, more common in adults than in children, but often with a poor outcome in the latter. Our study set itself the objective to describe the epidemiological and histological aspects of solid cancers in children in Togo. Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study focused on cases of solid cancers in children diagnosed from 2010 to 2014 (5 years) at the pathology laboratory of the Tokoin teaching hospital. Data were collected from the records of that laboratory. Results: We collected 66 cases of childhood cancer representing 5% of all solid cancers. The annual incidence was 13.2 cases. The sex ratio (M/F) was 1.4; mean age was of $7.2{\pm}1.6years$. The age group most affected was that of 5-9 years (40.9%). Four histological groups of solid childhood cancers were listed: lymphoma (n=34 cases; 51.5%), embryonic cancer (n=17 cases; 25.8%), sarcomas (n=13 cases; 19.7%) and carcinoma (n=2 cases; 3%). The most common histological types were Burkitt lymphoma (36.4%), nephroblastoma (10.6%) and retinoblastoma (10.6%). Conclusions: This study shows that solid cancers in children are relatively frequent in Togo with a male predominance. They are still largely dominated by Burkitt lymphoma, followed by retinoblastoma and nephroblastoma.

CCN3 (also known as NOV, Nephroblastoma overexpressed) proteins are involved in various pathologies during different developmental stages. We have previously shown that intracellular levels and normal extracellular secretion of CCN3 are important for neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that a single amino acid in the CCN3 TSP-1 domain is important for extracellular secretion and that palmitoylation of CCN3 is required in this process. However, the effect of abnormal CCN3 accumulation on cells remains to be studied. Here, we found mutations in the TSP-1 domain of CCN3 that led to intracellular accumulation and abnormal aggregation of CCN3. It was observed that this mutation resulted in a phenomenon similar to neurodegeneration when overexpressed in the developing mouse cortex. This mutation also confirmed the activation of apoptotic gene expression in Neuro2a cells. In addition, we confirmed the in vivo transcriptional changes induced by this mutation using microarray analysis. We observed a significant increase in the expression of Anp32a, an apoptosis-related gene. Collectively, these results indicate that a single mutation in CCN3 can lead to abnormal cell death if it shows intracellular accumulation and abnormal aggregation.

The objective of this study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the bovine nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV) gene and to evaluate whether these polymorphisms affect carcass traits in the Korean cattle population. We resequenced to detect SNPs from 24 unrelated individuals and identified 19 SNPs within the full 8.4-kb gene, including the 1.5-kb promoter region. Of these 19 SNPs, four were selected for genotyping based on linkage disequilibrium (LD). We genotyped 429 steers to assess the associations of these four SNPs with carcass traits. Statistical analysis revealed that g.7801T>C and g.8379A>C polymorphisms in the NOV gene were associated with carcass weight (p = 0.012 and 0.008, respectively), and the g.2005A>G polymorphism was associated with the back fat thickness (BF) trait (p = 0.0001). One haplotype of the four SNPs (GGTA) was significantly associated with BF (p = 0.0005). Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in the NOV gene may be among the important genetic factors affecting carcass yield in beef cattle.

본 실험은 지방대사에 영향을 주는 후보 유전자의 발현양상을 조사하기 위하여 bovine mesenchymal stem cell을 이용하여 체외에서 지방분화를 유도하였고, 지방분화 경과에 따른 지방관련 후보유전자의 발현양상을 분석 하였다. Oil red-O 염색법을 이용하여 지방 분화양상을 조사한 결과, 지방 분화 단계별(0, 2, 4 및 6일)로 붉게 염색된 지방적이 증가되었음을 확인하였고, 지방대사의 indicator인 PPAR$\gamma$와 FABP4 유전자는 지방분화 0일과 비교하여 6일에는 각각 3.11배와 3.11배가 증가하였다. 또한 지방대사와 관련이 있다고 추측되는 ICER, NOV, HSPB1 및 SDH 유전자의 발현양상을 조사한 결과, 지방분화 동안 ICER 유전자는 계속적으로 증가하여 6일은 0일에 비해 4.12배의 유의적인 증가를 보인 반면, NOV, HSPB1 및 SDH 유전자의 발현양은 0일 이후 계속적으로 감소하여, 6일에서 각각 2.89배, 3.18배 및 2.36배의 감소를 나타냈다. 본 실험에서, 등심조직에서 근내지방도에서 차이를 나타냈던 ICER, NOV, HSPB1 및 SDH 유전자를 보다 구체적이고 직접적으로 세포에서 지방분화를 통해 연관성을 조사했을 때, 지방분화와 직접적으로 관련되어 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 지방 대사를 조절하는 유전자로 추정된다.
