Adenoid cystic carcinoma, a relatively uncommon tumor of salivary glands, is characterized by a prolonged clinical course and a fatal outcome. The molecular events underlying their progression are unknown. In this study, we examined the methylation status of E-cadherin gene and its protein expression in 23 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma and correlated the results with the clinicopathologic factors to determine its role in these tumors. We also analyzed the effect of 5-azacytidine on the re-expression in a methylated cell line of adenoid cystic carcinoma for this gene. In our study, E-cadherin immunoreactivity, although heterogeneous, showed a progressive reduction with high histological grade and in metastatic and recurrent lesions. Promoter methylation was detected in 16 of 23 cases (70%), but there was no correlation with the histological grade or patient prognosis. Microdissection of immuno-negative cells in heterogeneous tumors showed positive methlyation. In the cell line from salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma with methylated E-cadherin, 5-azacytidine restored the E-cadherin expression. Our results indicate that: (1) E-cadherin gene promoter is frequently methylated in adenoid cystic carcinoma, leading to reduced E-cadherin expression, (2) variable E-cadherin expression might result from the intratumoral heterogeneity, and (3) increased extent of methylated areas may be associated with progression and advancement of the disease. 相似文献

We report a case of follicular lymphoma with crystal inclusions. Swollen lymph nodes taken from the left neck of a 53- year-old Japanese woman were replaced by follicular proliferation of atypical centroblastic and centrocytic cells with intracytoplasmic crystal inclusions. The crystals were confined to lymphoma cells and were not found in histiocytes. Lymphoma cells were positively immunostained with lambda light chain and mu heavy chain, but the crystals were only weakly so. In situ hybridization of light chains disclosed a monoclonal expression of lambda light chain mRNA in lymphoma cells. The crystals had a periodic linear substructure with about 5-nm intervals. The worldwide literature reports 8 cases, including the current case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with crystals confined to the neoplastic cells. The cases did not accompany paraproteinemia and crystal-storing histiocytosis and appear to follow a favorable clinical outcome. 相似文献

Neovascularization of the outer membrane plays a critical role in the development and enlargement of chronic subdural hematomas (CSHs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may promote their progression. However, the precise mechanisms remain to be determined. We focused on the signaling pathway upstream of VEGF, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK-1) to identify the mechanisms underlying the neovascularization of the outer membrane of CSH. Retrospective comparative study was conducted on 15 consecutive patients diagnosed as CSH with burr-hole drainage. Dura and the outer membrane were collected. We immunohistochemically examined the expression of VEGF, integrin-α, TGF-β, and ALK-1 on the outer membrane and dura of CSH and compared our findings with control samples and the signal intensity of hematomas on computed tomography (CT) scans. VEGF and integrin-α expression was markedly up-regulated in both the dura and outer membrane of CSH, the expression of TGF-β and ALK-1 in the dura was slightly increased in the dura and markedly up-regulated in the outer membrane. There was no significant correlation between their expression and CT density. Here we first report the expression of TGF-β and ALK-1 in the outer membrane and dura mater of CSH. We suggest that the TGF-β–ALK-1 pathway and VEGF affect neovascularization and the progression of CSH. 相似文献

Meningeal carcinomatosis is a well‐known complication of malignant neoplasms. We report a case of meningeal carcinomatosis of 2 months' duration in a 22‐year‐old man, in whom the initial symptom was gradually worsening headache. Postmortem examination revealed infiltrating adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Carcinoma cells showed diffuse spread to the subarachnoid space of the brain and spinal cord. In many places, subarachnoid tumor cells had infiltrated to the cranial and spinal nerves. Moreover, carcinoma cells in the nerve roots extended to the parenchyma of the brain and spinal cord beyond the CNS‐peripheral nervous system junction. These findings suggest that cranial and spinal nerve roots can be a possible route of parenchymal invasion in meningeal carcinomatosis. 相似文献

The histological hallmark of multiple system atrophy (MSA) is accumulation of phosphorylated α‐synuclein in oligodendrocytes. However, it is uncertain whether phosphorylated α‐synuclein accumulates in astrocytes of MSA patients. We immunohistochemically examined the frontal and temporal lobes, basal ganglia, cerebellum, brainstem and spinal cord of patients with MSA (n = 15) and Lewy body disease (n = 20), and also in control subjects (n = 20). Accumulation of abnormally phosphorylated and aggregated α‐synuclein was found in subpial and periventricular astrocytes in six of the 15 patients with MSA (40%). The structures were confined to the subpial surface of the ventro‐lateral part of the spinal cord and brainstem, as well as the subependymal region of the lateral ventricles. They were not visualized by Gallyas‐Braak staining, and were immunonegative for ubiquitin and p62. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that the phosphorylated α‐synuclein‐immunoreactive structures in astrocytes were non‐fibrillar and associated with granular and vesicular structures. The extent of phosphorylated α‐synuclein‐immunoreactive astrocytes was correlated with disease duration. No such structures were found in Lewy body disease or controls. Accumulation of phosphorylated α‐synuclein can occur in subpial and periventricular astrocytes in patients with MSA, especially in those with a long disease duration. 相似文献

Interferon-gamma stimulates the expression of galectin-9 in cultured human endothelial cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Galectin-9 is a member of the galectin family and has been identified as an eosinophil chemoattractant produced by activated T lymphocytes. Vascular endothelial cells play an important role in the initial step of eosinophil recruitment and activation in immune and inflammatory responses. We have addressed the stimulation of galectin-9 expression in endothelial cells. Galectin-9 was detected in membrane and cytosolic fractions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). IFN-gamma also enhanced the adhesion of human eosinophilic leukemia-1 cells to endothelial monolayers, and it was inhibited by the presence of lactose. Interleukin-4, which induces eotaxin expression, did not affect the expression of galectin-9. The in situ endothelium from patients with inflammatory diseases was found to express galectin-9. IFN-gamma-induced production of galectin-9 by endothelial cells may play an important role in immune responses by regulating interactions between the vascular wall and eosinophils. 相似文献

A case of primary pulmonary mesenchymal chondrosar-coma is reported. The tumor occurred first in the lower lobe of the right lung of a Japanese female aged 45. Three years after the first operation it metastasized to the upper lobe of the left lung. The tumors were highly cellular and composed of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and inter spersed islands of well-differentiated cartilaginous tissue. lmmunohistochemistry failed to detect S- 100 and vimentin in the undifferentiated cells. In contrast, Leu- 7 and blood coagulation factor Xllla were positive in these cells. Electron microscopically, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells had narrow cytoplasm with sparsity of organelles, but no intermediate-sized filaments were detected. In the transitional areas between undifferentiated cells and cartilaginous components, thin intracytoplasmic filaments were sometimes observed in the tumor cells. The differ entiation toward cartilaginous cells of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells was suggested by immunohisto chemistry and electron microscopy. This is the first case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma occurring in the lung with long- term follow- up. Acta Pathol Jpn 42: 364–371, 1992. 相似文献
