Immunohistochemical Study of Colorectal Polyps with Antibodies against CEA,CA19-9, CA125, CA15-3 (DF3), PCNA and p53

Abstract: We analyzed the expression of CEA, CA19-9, CA125, CA15-3 (DF3), PCNA and p53 immunohistochemically in 14 tissue specimens of mucosal cancers in adenoma, seven tubulovillous adenoma specimens, and 16 tubular adenoma specimens. The rates of positive staining for mucosal cancer in adenoma, tubulovillous adenoma and tubular adenoma specimens, respectively, were: for CEA: 100%, 85.7% and 75%; for CA19-9: 71.4%, 71.4% and 56.2%; for CA125:0%, 0% and 0%;for CA15-3 (DF3): 64.3 %, 0% and 0 %; for PCNA: 100%, 88.9% and 56.2%; and for p53: 35.7%, 0% and 0% . The results suggest that the expressions of CEA, CA19-9, CA15-3 (DF3), PCNA and p53 are related to colorectal tumorigenesis. None of the specimens studied showed staining for CA125, suggesting that CA125 is not involved in the early stages of colorectal carcinogenesis. There was no significant difference in the rates of positive staining for CEA and CA19-9 among mucosal cancer in adenoma, tubular adenoma and tubulovillous adenoma specimens. However, the rates of positive staining for PCNA and p53 were significantly higher in mucosal cancer in adenoma specimens than for tubular adenoma specimens (p<0.05), and the rate of CA15-3 (DF3) positive staining was significantly higher for mucosal cancer in adenoma than for tubulovillous adenoma (p<0.01) and tubular adenoma (p< 0.001) specimens. Therefore, the CA15-3 (DF3) antigen is an immunohistochemical marker for colorectal carcinomas. The present results suggest that CA15-3 (DF3), PCNA and p53 play important roles in the genesis of colorectal adenomas.     

RENIN GENE POLYMORPHISM ASSOCIATED WITH ALDOSTERONE RESPONSIVENESS TO THE RENINANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH ALDOSTERONE-PRODUCING ADENOMAS

1. Aldosterone levels in patients with unilateral aldosterone-producing adenomas may be responsive or unresponsive to the renin-angiotensin system, with the former often previously misdiagnosed as bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. 2. In tumours from patients in the responsive subgroup, renin mRNA is expressed in greater amounts than in tumours from patients in the unresponsive subgroup, or in normal adrenals. 3. We compared the frequency of four renin gene polymorphisms in peripheral blood DNA from the two subgroups and found significant associations between BglI, TaqI and HinfI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) and aldosterone responsiveness. 4. Allelic variation in the constitutive renin gene was associated with a specific cause of hypertension.

Estrogen receptor alpha pathway is involved in the regulation of Calbindin-D9k in the uterus of immature rats.

It has been demonstrated in our previous studies that Calbindin-D9k (CaBP-9k) is a potent biomarker for screening estrogen-like chemicals in the rat model. Although treatments with 17beta-estradiol (E2) and endocrine disrupting compounds resulted in the up-regulation of uterine CaBP-9k, the mechanism of CaBP-9k induction by these compounds through two subtypes of estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) is unclear. Thus, in the present study, immature rats were treated with propyl pyrazole triol (PPT, an ERalpha-selective ligand), diarylpropionitrile (DPN, an ERbeta-selective ligand), E2, or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a vehicle control) for three days in order to clarify which subtype of ER is involved in the uterine CaBP-9k induction. Following injection with these ER ligands, uterine CaBP-9k expression was analyzed by Northern blot and immunoblot assays. Uterine CaBP-9k expression is mainly mediated by PPT in a dose- and time-dependent manner in immature rats, whereas no significant alteration of the uterine CaBP-9k gene was observed after DPN treatment. In addition, an estrogenicity of PPT in inducing CaBP-9k expression was completely blocked by the anti-estrogen ICI 182,780, implying that uterine CaBP-9k is solely induced by ERalpha. A single treatment with PPT rapidly increased the protein levels of ERalpha and PR, an E2-mediated gene, in these tissues. Taken together, these results indicate that uterine CaBP-9k is induced by E2 and endocrine disrupting chemicals via the ERalpha pathway, but not ERbeta, in the uterus of immature rats.
