Immunohistochemically, the tumors were positive for a-inhibin (5/6) [Figure 1]d, calretinin (5/6), CD99 (6/6), and forkhead box L2 (FOXL2, 6/6) [Figure 1]e and negative for epithelial membrane antigen (0/6).
Analysis of the genes PAX6 (11p13), PITX2 (or RIEG1) (4p25-26), PITX3 (RIEG/PITX homeobox gene family) (10q25), CYP1B1 (cytochrome P4501B1 gene) (2p22), FKHL7 (Forkhead transcription factor) and B3GALTL gene (13q12.3) revealed no deletions or duplications in these genes.
For an association study, four genes were selected based on high gene expression differences during RNA-seq analysis and their location within QTLs related to percentage of fibers I, IIA, and IIB (troponin T2 [TNNT2]; forkhead box O1 [FOXO1]).
IGF-1 has been shown to; (1) induce androgen synthesis and increase the cutaneous availability of dihydrotestosterone; (2) disinhibit the forkhead box Ol (FoxOl) transcription factor, which normally suppresses the androgen receptor; and (3) activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, liver X receptor-alpha, and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c).
