Imprints of histologic or autopsy specimens from 12 small-cell lung cancers (SCLCs), 82 non-SCLCs (50 adenocarcinomas, 25 squamous-cell carcinomas, 1 adenosquamous carcinoma and 6 large-cell carcinomas), 2 carcinoid tumors, 1 malignant lymphoma and 8 metastatic carcinomas were examined immunocytologically for the presence of cluster 1 SCLC antigen (neural-cell adhesion molecule: N-CAM), chromogranin A, Leu-7, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). The monoclonal antibodies NCC-LU-243 and NCC-LU-246, which are reactive with cluster 1 SCLC antigen/N-CAM, diffusely stained the cell membranes of all SCLCs and carcinoid tumors (100%) and diffusely and focally stained those of two of the large-cell carcinomas, two of the adenocarcinomas, two of the squamous-cell carcinomas and the one adenosquamous carcinoma. Malignant lymphoma and metastatic carcinoma were negative for this antigen. A few cases of large-cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, squamous-cell carcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma were also stained with these antibodies, which may indicate a neuroendocrine differentiation. However, these tumors were different from SCLCs in that their positive tumor cell population was definitely smaller than that in SCLC, in which almost all tumor cells were positive. This confirmed the usefulness of antibodies against cluster 1 SCLC antigen for the immunocytologic diagnosis of SCLC and carcinoid tumor in imprint smears. Chromogranin A, GRP, NSE and Leu-7 were not useful in immunocytologically differentiating the imprints from these cases since only a few tumor cells were reactive with these antibodies. The antibodies against cluster 1 SCLC antigen/N-CAM can also be applied to cytologic preparations of sputum, pleural fluid and fine needle aspirates stained routinely by the Papanicolaou method since the antigen is preserved in such alcohol-fixed smears. 相似文献

We undertook an immunohistochemical analysis of human bronchopulmonary epithelial neoplasms and pleural mesotheliomas using a monoclonal antibody which recognizes ras oncogene products (p21ras). The monoclonal antibody, RAP-5, recognizes both unaltered and certain mutated p21ras. Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissue samples of 187 lung epithelial tumors and 27 pleural mesotheliomas were investigated; normal and bronchiectatic lungs were similarly studied. Normal lung and pleural tissue did not immunostain except for occasional type II pneumocytes. Reactive type II pneumocytes adjacent to carcinomas and bronchiectasis immunostained consistently. Twenty four/34 (71%) squamous carcinomas immunostained. Only 8/50 (16%) adenocarcinomas immunostained focally and weakly whereas 19/24 (79%) bronchioloalveolar carcinomas immunostained. Eleven/18 (61%) large cell carcinomas immunostained with variable intensity. Eleven/13 (85%) carcinoids, 6/7 (85%) well differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, and 18/21 (86%) intermediate cell neuroendocrine carcinomas immunostained while none of 20 small cell neuroendocrine carcinomas immunostained. Only a few mesotheliomas were immunostained focally. Two/14 (14%) epithelial type and 1/9 (11%) biphasic type mesotheliomas immunostained weakly; none of 4 spindle cell mesotheliomas immunostained. We conclude that while at least occasional cases of most types of pulmonary epithelial neoplasms express p21ras, the frequency and intensity of the expression are distinctly greater in certain tumor types such as squamous, bronchioloalveolar, and neuroendocrine neoplasm except for the small cell type. Contrary to these lung epithelial neoplasms, most mesotheliomas did not immunostain for p21ras. Whether the enhanced p21ras expression may point to a different mechanism of transformation or may merely reflect differentiation features remains undetermined. 相似文献

We have used an antisense RNA strategy to investigate the role of the actin-associated protein, villin, in the brush-border morphogenesis of human intestinal CaCO2 cells. Stable expression of a cDNA encoding antisense villin RNA resulted in the permanent down-regulation of the endogenous villin message and dramatically affected brush-border assembly. Ultrastructural and immunolocalization studies revealed that epithelial cell polarity was largely maintained. However, in contrast to brush-border markers such as dipeptidyl-peptidase IV, the apical localization of sucrase-isomaltase was specifically impaired. Retransfection of the villin antisense-expressing cell line with a cDNA encoding a partial sense villin RNA restored both brush-border assembly and sucrase-isomaltase apical expression. The suggestion that brush-border morphogenesis may be important for the trafficking of certain proteins is discussed. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application of ThinPrep liquid-based cytology (LBC) and present our experience using LBC in the diagnosis of metastatic tumors in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. STUDY DESIGN: We examined 38 cytologic specimens of CSF, processed by ThinPrep technique. Of these, 18 presented with a previously diagnosed primary malignancy. Various immunocytochemical markers were performed. RESULTS: ThinPrep technology provided preservation of cytomorphologic features, high cellularity per slide and clear background. Analysis revealed 8 breast carcinomas, 5 lung carcinomas, 4 lymphomas, 3 adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, 1 squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix and 1 urinary bladder carcinoma. Fifteen samples were negative for malignancy. CONCLUSION: CSF cytology is the only examination that verifies the presence of malignancy. Thin monolayer technology is suggested as an appropriate diagnostic method for metastatic tumors in CSF in everyday routine and seems to be a valuable tool for further management and planning of treatment. 相似文献

The cytopathology of 47 cases of metastatic carcinoma of the lung and of 28 cases of recurrent or metastatic bronchogenic carcinoma is reviewed. The diagnostic yield was better for recurrent than for metastatic carcinoma but overall was comparable to that of primary bronchogenic carcinomas. The metastatic tumors were located in all areas of the lung and included single as well as multiple lesions. The positive yield did not differ significantly in relation to any of the pathologic features but was somewhat higher if the metastases were large and centrally located. A definite differentiation of the metastatic tumors, usually adenocarcinomas, from new primary bronchogenic carcinomas is often possible particularly if the cytopathology can be compared with that of the primary lesion. Specific cytologic features include the relative lack of cohesion and the formation of columns in metastatic breast carcinomas, the formation of larger cohesive well circumscribed nodules composed of tall columnar cells in metastatic colon carcinomas, clear cell features in some metastatic adenocarcinomas of the kidney, and the small cell size and uniform, regular nuclear features in the often cytologically well differentiated metastatic carcinomas of the prostate. 相似文献

p63 is essential for epithelial cell survival and may function as an oncogene. We examined by immunohistochemistry p63 expression in human normal and tumor salivary gland tissues. In normal salivary glands, p63 was expressed in the nuclei of myoepithelial and basal duct cells. Among 68 representative salivary gland tumors, 63 displayed p63 reactivity. In all tumor types differentiated towards luminal and myoepithelial lineages (pleomorphic adenomas, basal cell adenomas, adenoid cystic carcinomas, and epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas), p63 was expressed in myoepithelial cells, whereas luminal cells were always negative. Similarly, in mucoepidermoid carcinomas, basal, intermediate, and squamous cells expressed p63, in contrast to luminal mucous cells. p63 reactivity was also restricted to basal cells in Warthin tumors and oncocytomas. Myoepitheliomas and myoepithelial carcinomas all expressed p63. The only five negative tumors were three of four acinar cell carcinomas and two of three adenocarcinomas. In conclusion, p63 is expressed in the nuclei of normal human salivary gland myoepithelial and basal duct cells. p63 expression is retained in the modified myoepithelial and basal cells of human salivary gland tumors, which suggests a role for p63 in oncogenesis of these complex tumors. 相似文献

In recent electron microscopic studies of 51 small cell carcinomas of the lung, the ultrastructural features of epithelial differentiation, particularly the presence of desmosomes, were associated with a tendency toward localized disease, clinical resectability and relatively long survival. Thirty-three of these cases were studied with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (B72.3, B1.1, AE1-AE3 and anti-Leu-7) directed against tumor-associated glycoprotein (TAG-72), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin and Leu-7 (an antigen common to natural killer cells and small cell lung carcinomas) to assess the correlation between the immunocytochemical and ultrastructural evidence of differentiation in tumors lacking differentiation at the light microscopic level. Of four small cell carcinomas with ultrastructural glandular differentiation, two were positive for CEA, three were positive for cytokeratin, and none were positive for TAG-72 and Leu-7. Of six tumors with ultrastructural squamous features, cytokeratin was expressed by three, CEA by one and TAG-72 and Leu-7 by none. Of the 23 classic oat cell carcinomas, cytokeratin was expressed by 14, Leu-7 by 3, CEA by 1 and TAG-72 by none. While the pattern of antigen expression did not predictably reflect the submicroscopic features, there was a significant association between keratin staining and extent of disease. The prospective use of similar antibody panels with both cellular and histologic material may therefore help to define clinically relevant categories of this biologically heterogeneous neoplasm. 相似文献

Summary A culture system utilizing rat esophageal epithelial cells has been developed. Four normal and eightN-nitrosobenzylmethylamine-treated lines were compared with respect to chromosome number, anchorage-independent growth in agarose,
and tumorigenic potential in syngenic rats. All cell lines were aneuploid with nine in the near-tetraploid range and three
in the near-diploid range. No relation between tumorigenic potential and chromosome number or structure was apparent. Similarly,
anchorage-independent growth in agarose did not correlate with tumorigenic potential. Three of the 12 immortalized lines (two
carcinogen-treated and 1 untreated) induced well-differentiated squamous cell carcinomas in syngeneic rats. These tumors had
weak metastatic potentials suggesting that tumorigenic potential and metastatic ability are separately controlled. These cell
lines will be useful for the investigation of factors involved in the conversion of immortalized rat esophageal epithelial
cell lines to lines of high metastatic potential. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibody hepatocyte paraffin 1 (Hep Par 1) is reported to be highly specific and sensitive for hepatocellular tumours of humans and dogs. However, in a previous study we observed immunoreactivity for Hep Par 1 in an intestinal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the liver. In this paper, we examined normal intestine and 57 canine intestinal tumours including adenocarcinomas of the small and large intestine, colonorectal polyps, mucinous carcinomas, stromal tumours, leiomyosarcomas, fibrosarcoma, plasmacytomas, and osteosarcoma for immunoreactivity for Hep Par 1. Normal intestinal epithelial cells were strongly labelled, particularly at the base of crypts. However, epithelial cells in small intestinal neoplasms had variable reactivity for Hep Par 1. In contrast, normal colonic epithelium was seldom labelled, but hyperplastic or neoplastic colonic epithelium was usually reactive to Hep Par 1. Five of seven small intestinal adenocarcinomas, two of three large intestinal adenocarcinomas, two of three mucinous adenocarcinomas, and all (29) rectal polyps were positive for Hep Par 1. The staining was diffuse, granular and cytoplasmic. The only non-epithelial tumours positive for Hep Par 1 were two of four leiomyosarcomas. Hep Par 1 can be used to differentiate hepatocellular from biliary neoplasms but its value in differentiating metastatic tumours to the liver is questionable due to the reactivity of Hep Par 1 in many intestinal tumours. 相似文献

In this study we investigated the immunochemical and cytochemical reactivity of two monoclonal antibodies against the 16-amino acid tandem repeat of MUC4 to demonstrate a possible variation of the mucin core peptide expression related to lung cancer. The immunocytochemical anti-MUC4 reactivity was analyzed in four lung cancer cell lines (Calu-1, Calu-3, H460, SKMES) and in other tumor cell lines, as well as in frozen materials from 21 lung adenocarcinomas (ACs), including five bronchioloalveolar carcinomas (BACs), and 11 squamous cell lung carcinomas (SqCCs). A weak fluorescence anti-MUC4 positivity (range: 10.3-16.2) was observed only in acetone-fixed lung cancer cell lines Calu-1, Calu-3 and H460. These three lung cancer cell lines also showed a cytoplasmic immunoperoxidase reactivity. The immunostaining in lung cancer tissues showed a granular cytoplasmic reactivity: 15/21 (71%) and 17/21 (80%) ACs were positive with BC-LuC18.2 and BC-LuCF12, respectively. All BACs were positive. Moderate to strong reactivity was present in well-differentiated ACs. In the normal lung parenchyma counterparts weak reactivity was found only in bronchiolar cells. All SqCCs were negative. Anti-MUC4 reactivity was also observed in the alveolar mucus. In conclusion, our anti-MUC4 MAbs detect a secretion product present in mucus and this product is elaborated by lung cancer cells and overexpressed in well-differentiated lung ACs. 相似文献

Distinguishing hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic tumors in the liver is of great practical importance, with significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. This differential diagnosis can be difficult because metastatic cancers in the liver, especially adenocarcinomas, may mimic the morphology and immunoexpression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Biomarkers that are specifically expressed in either hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic adenocarcinoma can therefore be useful diagnostic tools. To find such biomarkers, we studied microRNA expression in 144 tumor samples using custom microarrays. Hsa-miR-141 and hsa-miR-200c, microRNAs that promote epithelial phenotypes, had significantly higher levels in non-hepatic epithelial tumors. In contrast, endothelial-associated hsa-miR-126 showed higher expression levels in hepatocellular carcinomas. Combinations of these microRNAs accurately identified primary hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic adenocarcinoma in the liver. These findings were validated using quantitative real-time PCR to measure microRNA expression in additional samples. Thus, the tissue-specific expression patterns of microRNAs make them useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of liver malignancies. 相似文献

Coexpression of keratin and vimentin was found in carcinoma cells of 13 fine needle aspirates of metastatic lesions that showed some cytologic features considered to be consistent with a renal or thyroid origin, but in which a large number of other possible primary sites would have to be taken into account on the basis of the morphologic evidence alone. Immunochemistry thus narrowed the cytologic differential diagnosis to thyroid, renal, endometrial and ovarian carcinomas, which are known to show true coexpression of keratin and vimentin. In most cases, clinical data available at the time of the fine needle aspiration supported the thyroid or renal origin of the carcinoma cells found in the aspirates. In two cases, which lacked significant clinical information, the diagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma was provided on the basis of the combined morphologic and immunocytochemical evidence. In these two cases, computed tomography or ultrasonography revealed kidney tumors, which were removed and confirmed histologically to be clear cell carcinomas. 相似文献

To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and to characterize the findings in false-negative cases, the results of cervicovaginal cytology in 56 adenocarcinomas and 25 adenosquamous carcinomas (42 cervical, 36 endometrial, 2 metastatic and 1 arising synchronously from both cervix and endometrium) were reviewed, including review of the actual slides in 56 cases. Overall, 80% of the initial cytologic diagnoses resulted in diagnostic curettage (i.e., cytology was effectively positive); 84% of the postreview diagnosis were effectively positive. Nine cytology slides showed no malignant cells; eight of these negative smears showed repair, five were atrophic, two showed a high estrogen effect and one had enlarged atypical bare nuclei. These false-negative diagnoses were associated with an endometrial primary site (P less than .01), endometrioid histology (P less than .005), low-grade or intermediate-grade histology (P less than .005), small size of tumor (P less than .05) and absence of cervical involvement (P less than .005) in those cases in which a hysterectomy was performed. False-negative diagnoses were not associated with an absence of endocervical cells or with scanty cellularity. Of 39 cervical and 28 endometrial carcinomas with a positive cytologic diagnosis (initially or after review of the available slides), cytology correctly identified the primary site in 18% and 54% of the cases, respectively. Cytology incorrectly classified the anatomic site of four cervical and three endometrial carcinomas and considered one case arising in both the endometrium and cervix to be endometrial. Routine cervicovaginal cytology does have a role in screening for uterine glandular carcinoma; to maximize its diagnostic sensitivity, we suggest using a recommendation for curettage in the report of positive cases so that all of the varied cytologic diagnoses associated with glandular carcinomas will receive a uniform clinical response. In those cases with preserved cancer cells, a correlation can be made with the histologic type of the carcinoma, rather than with the anatomic site. 相似文献

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein which is expressed primarily in the liver as a part of the systemic response to various injuries and inflammatory stimuli; its expression in ovarian tumors has not been described. Here, we investigated the expression of SAA in human benign and malignant ovarian epithelial tumors. Non-radioactive in situ hybridization applied on ovarian paraffin tissue sections revealed mostly negative SAA mRNA expression in normal surface epithelium. Expression was increased gradually as epithelial cells progressed through benign and borderline adenomas to primary and metastatic adenocarcinomas. Similar expression pattern of the SAA protein was observed by immunohistochemical staining. RT-PCR analysis confirmed the overexpression of the SAA1 and SAA4 genes in ovarian carcinomas compared with normal ovarian tissues. In addition, strong expression of SAA mRNA and protein was found in the ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCAR-3. Finally, patients with ovarian carcinoma had high SAA serum levels, which strongly correlated with high levels of CA-125 and C-reactive protein. Enhanced expression of SAA in ovarian carcinomas may play a role in ovarian tumorigenesis and may have therapeutic application. (J Histochem Cytochem 58:1015–1023, 2010) 相似文献

The DNA ploidy pattern and amplification of ERBB and ERBB2 genes were examined in paraffinembedded tissue from gastric carcinomas
using flow cytometry and a slot-blot hybridization technique. The incidence of aneuploidy in well differentiated adenocarcinomas
(56%) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that in poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (21%). The DNA ploidy pattern was not remarkably different between the
primary tumors and metastatic deposits in lymph nodes. Of the nine specimens having an aneuploid stem cell line in the primary
tumor and/or in metastases, three showed ERBB2 gene amplification and one showed ERBB gene amplification. The incidence of
epidermal growth factor (EGF) immunoreactivity in tumor cells showed no difference between diploid and aneuploid tumors. These
findings indicate that aneuploidy is frequently associated with amplification of ERBB and ERBB2 genes. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the utility of BCA-225 immunostain in differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from other malignant tumors in liverfine needle aspiration specimens. STUDY DESIGN: Cell block materialfrom 87fine needle aspirates of liver lesions, including 25 HCCs, 9 neuroendocrine carcinomas, 12 adenocarcinomas metastatic from the colon, 19 other metastatic adenocarcinomas, 13 other metastatic tumors and 2 cholangiocarcinomas, were immunostained with BCA-225 antibody using both the EnVision avidin-biotin method (Dako U.S.A., Carpinteria, California, U.S.A.), and the traditional avidin-biotin method, without antigen retrieval. Three independent observers evaluated the cases, and a consensus was reached. RESULTS: Strong immunostaining for BCA-225 in at least 10% of malignant cells was considered positive. Two of 25 HCCs, 9 of 19 adenocarcinoma metastases, 1 of 9 neuroendocrine carcinomas, 4 of 13 other metastases and 1 of 2 cholangiocarcinomas were positive. No colon metastases were considered positive. CONCLUSION: BCA-225 may help exclude the diagnoses of metastatic colon adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and well- to moderately differentiated HCC in this cytologic setting. 相似文献

The incidence and levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were studied in 67 breast tumors and 22 endometrial carcinomas. Estrogen receptors (ER) were also measured in all samples and progesterone receptors (PR) were analyzed in 57 breast samples and 21 endometrial tumors. A high level of EGFR expression is found in both breast and endometrial carcinomas, although the incidence of EGFR content is greater in breast carcinomas. 36% of breast tumors had EGFR at levels 3-49.5 fmol/mg membrane protein, whereas this percentage of positivity was 27% for endometrial tumors. In 51% of breast carcinoma and 73% of endometrial tumors, there was a positive ER content, whereas 53% of breast tumors and 62% of endometrial carcinomas were positive. A clear inverse relationship between EGFR content and ER and PR status has been observed in breast tumors. Our data confirm the previously described inverse correlation between expression of EGFR and estrogen receptors in human breast cancer. We also show here that there is a similar inverse relationship between EGFR content and ER levels in endometrial tumors. 相似文献
