Billings SD, 2004 Mod Pathol Billings SD, 2004 Mod Pathol Why “synovial” sarcoma ? 1865 First report Simon G., Arch Klin Chir ・ arises in para-articular region ・ microscopic resemblance to synovium 1934 “Synovialsarcome” Sabrazes J. Gaz. Hebd. Sc. Med. Bordeaux ・ rarely arises in joint cavities. ・ differs from normal synovium by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study 1984 “Synovial sarcoma” is a misnomer. Miettinen M. Am J Pathol The cell-of-origin of synovial sarcoma is still unknown.
SS + MPNST Backgrounds We previously performed gene expression profiling of 47 soft tissue sarcomas by cDNA microarray (23,040 genes) , and reported that synovial sarcoma was clustered into the same group with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor which is one of the neural crest-derived tumor. Nagayama et al. Cancer Res. 2002 Same cluster Hypothesis: Synovial sarcoma is neural crest-derived tumor
Neural crest (stem) cells: NCSC - unique cell population of the vertebrate embryo - arise from the neural ectoderm and recognizable after neural tube closure Head and neck Cartilage& Bone Neuron Neural tube Trunk Glia Joseph NM Development, 2004 Melanocyte NCSCs have multiple differentiation potential Does synovial sarcoma have similar potential as NCSC?
Objective To estimate the origin of synovial sarcoma (SS) by investigating its gene expression and differentiation potential. Materials and Methods Fourteen cell lines including 5 SS cells Twenty-nine tumor tissues including 18 SS tumors 1) Gene expression of neural crest-related genes by RT-PCR 2) Chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic inductions : by the same methods as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) 3) Neurogenic induction by FGF2, ATRA, or BMP4

Discussions from pathological point of view May form ossification or calcification ・About 30% of synovial sarcomas have calcified focus. (Enzinger FM, Cancer, 1982) May arise from cartilage in head and neck region, but not arise from articular cartilage which is not neural crest origin. ・Arytenoid-epiglotic rim (Szuhai K, Cancer Genet Cytogenet, 2004) ・Cricoid cartilage, Monophasic SS (Kikuchi I, Acta Cytol, 2003) May arise from neural tissue. ・C7 spinal root (Chu PG, Mod Pathol, 2004); ・Common digital nerve (O’Connell JX, Mod Pathol, 1996) ・Radial nerve (Cugola L, J Hand Surg, 1985) These data also support our hypothesis that “the cell-of-origin of synovial sarcoma is neural crest-derived cells.”
Conclusion Synovial sarcoma expressed the genes related to chondrocyte, osteocyte, neuron, glia, and melanocyte which are known to originate from neural crest stem cells. Synovial sarcoma cells had potential to differentiate into chondrocyte, osteocyte, and neuron to various extent, but not into adipocyte. This spectrum of differentiation is similar to that of neural crest stem cells, supporting our hypothesis that “the cell-of-origin of synovial sarcoma is neural crest-derived cells”.
