Hepatoid adenocarcinoma is an extrahepatic tumor characterized by morphological similarities to hepatocellular carcinoma. The lesions contain a tubular adenocarcinoma that seems to develop "hepatoid" features, but the relation between the tubular adenocarcinomatous and the hepatoid components remains unclear. We compared the cellular phenotypes of 23 cases of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach having tubular adenocarcinomatous components with 69 cases of non-hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Afterward, we examined the expression of CDX2 and p53 in the tubular adenocarcinomatous and hepatoid components of hepatoid adenocarcinoma. Both components of hepatoid adenocarcinoma were classified into 4 phenotypic categories according to the immunohistochemical results for CD10, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6. The complete intestinal phenotype (CD10+, MUC5AC-, MUC6-) was most frequently observed in the adenocarcinomatous and hepatoid components (61% and 65%, respectively). In contrast, no gastric phenotype (MUC5AC+, MUC6+, MUC2-, CD10-) was observed in any of the hepatoid adenocarcinoma components. The positivity for p53 protein in the adenocarcinomatous and hepatoid components was concordant. The expression of CDX2 with early differentiation and maintenance of intestinal epithelial cells was observed in all of the adenocarcinomatous components, whereas 9 of the 23 hepatoid components (39%) were negative for CDX2. These findings suggest that hepatoid adenocarcinoma arises from an adenocarcinoma with an intestinal phenotype and that its hepatoid component is in some way related to reduced CDX2 expression.

Pyloric-gland type adenoma of the gallbladder is formed by proliferation of glands resembling pyloric glands, morphologically. No previous report has described the cellular phenotype and differentiation of pyloric-gland type adenoma of the gallbladder, using CD10 as a marker of proper biliary phenotype. Immunostainings were performed for mucin markers such as MUC5AC, human gastric mucin (HGM) for gastric foveolar type epithelium, MUC6, M-GGMC-1 for pyloric-gland type and MUC2 for intestinal goblet-cell type, and for CD10 as a proper biliary type marker on 58 pyloric-gland type adenomas of the gallbladder, as well as for p53, Ki-67 and CDX2. The percentage (X) of reactive cells in relation to the total number of tumor cells was estimated semi-quantitatively, and divided into four categories: X=0% (negative), 0%<X<10%, 10%<or=X<30%, and X>or=30%. CDX2 expression was considered to be positive when the percentage of positively stained cells was >or=10%. Out of the 58 pyloric-gland type adenomas, >or=30% of adenoma cells were positive for MUC5AC in 22 (38%) tumors, HGM in 29 (50%), MUC6 in 58 (100%), M-GGMC-1 in 54 (93%), MUC2 in none (0%), and CD10 in 20 (34%). MUC6 (P<0.001) and M-GGMC-1 (P<0.001) mucins were detected more frequently in pyloric-gland type adenomas, and CD10 expression was significantly decreased, compared with normal gallbladder epithelium (P=0.006). P53 overexpression was not found in any of the 58 tumors, including two adenomas with carcinomatous foci. The mean number of Ki-67-positive cells was 10.3+/-5.8%. CDX2 expression was judged as negative in all 58 pyloric-gland type adenomas. In pyloric-gland type adenomas of the gallbladder, expression of pyloric-gland type mucins was observed with a high frequency, whereas intestinal goblet-cell mucins were rarely seen. In addition, co-expression of gastric foveolar type mucins and CD10 was also demonstrated. Pyloric-gland type adenomas of the gallbladder show a differentiation toward pyloric glands in terms of immunohistochemistry, as well as morphology, accompanied by co-expression of gastric foveolar and native biliary phenotypes.

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is rare entity and has been described only recently. By immunohistochemistry and genetics it belongs to the family of tumours which comprises angiomyolipoma, clear cell "sugar" tumor of lung, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and clear cell myomelanotic tumor of ligamentum falciforme/teres hepatis. We describe an unusual case of hepatic PEComa arising in a 55-year-old woman with previous history of glioblastoma. Histologically the tumor grew in expansive way, and was composed of clear and eosinophilic epithelioid cels, without vascular or lipomatous component characteristic of angiomyolipoma. There was mild nuclear pleomorphism, sporadic mitotic activity and haemorrhage without necrosis. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor was HMB-45+50, Melan-A and smooth muscle actin positive. Tyrosinase, S-100 protein, cytokeratin coctail, EMA, vimentin, muscle specific actin, CD10, TTF-1, hepatocyte, desmin and cyclin D1 were negative. Sporadic nuclear p53 positivity was seen. The main differential diagnosis of hepatic PEComa includes clear cell variant of liver cell adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, metastases of various clear cell carcinomas and metastasis of malignant melanoma. In respect of uncertain biologic potential of PEComa, long term follow up is indicated.

Basal breast cancers (BBCs) have a high risk of metastasis, recurrence and death. Formal subtype definition relies on gene expression but can be approximated by protein expression. New markers are needed to help in the management of the basal subtype of breast cancer. In a previous transcriptional analysis of breast cell lines we found that Moesin expression was a potential basal marker. We show here that Moesin protein expression is a basal marker in breast tumors. In a tissue microarray (TMA) containing 547 sporadic breast cancers, of which 108 were profiled for gene expression, Moesin was expressed in 31% of all tumors and in 82% of the basal tumors. To confirm that Moesin expression remained associated with the basal phenotype in specific types of BBCs, we analyzed Moesin expression in 2 other TMAs containing 40 medullary breast cancers (MBCs) and 27 BRCA1-associated breast cancers (BRCA1-BCs), respectively. Moesin was strongly expressed in MBCs (87%; p = 2.4 x 10(-5)) and in BRCA1-BCs (58%; p = 1.3 x 10(-5)) as compared with non-MBCs and sporadic cases. Moesin-expressing tumors display features of BBCs, such as high proliferation rate, hormone receptors negativity, expression of putative basal/myoepithelial markers (CAV1, CD10, CK5/6, CK14, EGFR, P53, P-cadherin and SMA). Survival analysis showed a reduced specific survival and metastasis-free survival in Moesin-expressing tumors by log-rank test (p(SS) = 0.014 and p(MFS) = 0.014). In multivariate analysis, Moesin expression was nearly an independent prognostic marker of poor outcome as shown by Cox proportional hazard model in patients without lymph node metastasis (p = 0.052, HR = 2.38, CI 95[0.99-5.69]).

There are two different pathways for the development of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), adenoma-carcinoma sequence (ACS) and de novo (DN) carcinogenesis. To clarify the molecular and clinicopathological characteristics in colorectal carcinogenesis, we examined endoscopically resected specimens of 30 adenomas, 30 carcinoma in adenomas (CIAs), and 18 early pure colorectal carcinomas without any adenoma component (EPCs, so called DN carcinoma) and compared the expression of Fhit, Mlh1, Msh2, P53 and cellular phenotype (HGM, MUC2 and CD10). Markedly reduced or absent Fhit expression was noted in 8 (44%) of 18 EPCs, but none of the adenomas or CIAs (p<0.0001). Six (33%) of 18 EPCs showed loss of Mlh1 expression, but rarely in adenomas and CIAs (p=0.008). This altered Fhit expression was significantly higher in submucosal invasive cancers (p=0.001), lymphatic or venous invasive cancers (p=0.0018), and tumors with altered expression of Mlh1 (p=0.01). The incidence of P53 overexpression was significantly higher in EPCs (39%) and CIAs (27%) than in adenomas (3.3%) (p<0.05). There were significant differences in phenotypic expression between the adenomatous and carcinomatous areas. Moreover, in CIAs and EPCs, the rate of P53 overexpression was significantly higher in the CD10-positive cases (53%) than CD10-negative cases (19%) (p=0.04). The present findings suggested that aberrant Fhit and Mlh1 expression could be related to DN carcinogenesis and that P53 overexpression and changes in phenotypic expression could contribute to the malignant transformation of colorectal precursor lesions.

Previously we have reported the presence of simian virus 40 DNA in 56% of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas in Tunisia. Here, we investigated the relationship between the status of simian virus 40 and t(14;18) translocation, germinal center status, and P53 and BCL2 expression to assess the clinical and biological relevance of simian virus 40 presence in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Therefore, we evaluated by immunohistochemistry the expression patterns of CD10, BCL6, MUM1, BCL2, and P53 in 86 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (48 simian virus 40-positive and 38 simian virus 40-negative cases). The t(14;18) translocation was investigated by polymerase chain reaction. Immunostaining patterns for CD10, BCL6, and MUM1 were used to subclassify diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cases as germinal center or non-germinal center phenotypes. Germinal center phenotype, t(14;18), P53, and BCL2 expression were found in 71, 30, 55, and 65% of cases, respectively. Interestingly, germinal center phenotype, t(14;18), and P53 accumulation were found to be more frequent in simian virus 40-positive cases than in simian virus 40-negative ones (81, 44, 69 vs 58, 13, 37%; P=0.018, 0.002, and 0.003, respectively). However, there were no correlations between the presence of simian virus 40 and the expression of CD10, BCL6, MUM1 and BCL2, patient's age and gender, clinical stage, or the International Prognosis Index. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that the germinal center phenotype, P53 accumulation, and t(14;18) were independent factors for simian virus 40 association (P=0.029, 0.006, and 0.014, respectively). There were no significant differences in overall survival regarding P53, BCL2, or t(14;18) status. However, patients with germinal center phenotype or low International Prognosis Index scores displayed a significantly better survival than those with non-germinal center phenotype or high International Prognosis Index scores (P=0.003 and 0.0001, respectively). These two prognosis factors remain independent in multivariate analyses (P=0.001 and <0.0001, respectively). Interestingly, among patients with germinal center phenotype, simian virus 40-positive subgroup displayed a significantly shorter survival than simian virus 40-negative subgroup (P=0.034). In summary, these findings support a role of simian virus 40 in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. On other hand, they suggest that a significant proportion of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cases with germinal center phenotype may result from early transformation by simian virus 40, mainly those harboring the t(14;18).

Uterine carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Mullerian tumor) is an uncommon female genital tract neoplasm characterized by an admixture of epithelial and stromal malignant cells. We report a case of 50-year-old peri-menopausal woman diagnosed to have early-stage (IB due to FIGO) uterine carcinosarcoma of the homologous type with superficial (3mm) myo-invasion. The patient showed no clinical symptoms of the disease and had no family history of female genital tract malignancies. Positive immunostaining for steroid receptors (estrogen-alpha and progesterone receptors), cytokeratin, and EGFR was detected only in the carcinomatous area, whereas beta-catenin, BCL-2, COX-2, p16(INK4a), PTEN, RB-1, and vimentin were immunoreactive in both components. Androgen receptor, CD10, desmin, HER-2/neu, and P53 were found to be negative either in the carcinomatous or in the sarcomatous area. Tumor proliferative activity was higher in the carcinomatous (25%) than in the sarcomatous (2%) component. Based on these findings, immunohistochemical evaluation of multiple receptor status in the carcinomatous and sarcomatous areas of carcinosarcoma may provide a clue to the pathogenesis and hormonal receptor status of this uncommon uterine malignancy.

The presenilin (PS)-dependent gamma-secretase activity refers to a high molecular mass-complex including, besides PS1 or PS2, three other proteins recently identified, namely nicastrin, Aph-1, and Pen-2. This proteolytic complex has been shown to contribute to both gamma- and epsilon-cleavages of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP), thereby generating beta-amyloid peptides (Abeta) and the APP intracellular domain (AICD), respectively. TMP21, a member of the p24 cargo protein family, was recently shown to interact with PS complexes. Interestingly, TMP21 modulates gamma-secretase-mediated Abeta production but does not regulate epsilon-secretase-derived AICD formation [F. Chen, H. Hasegawa, G. Schmitt-ulms, T. Kawarai, C. Bohm, T. Katayama, Y. Gu, N. Sanjo, M. Glista, E. Rogaeva, Y. Wakutami, R. Pardossi-Piquard, X. Ruan, A. Tandon, F. Checler, P. Marambaud, K. Hansen, D. Westaway, P. St. George-Hyslop, P. Fraser, TMP21 is a presenilin complex component that modulates gamma- but not epsilon-secretase activities, Nature 440 (2006) 1208-1212]. Here we investigate the functional incidence of the over-expression or depletion of TMP21 on both intracellular and secreted Abeta recoveries and AICD-associated phenotypes. First we confirm that TMP21 depletion yields increased levels of secreted Abeta40. However, we demonstrate that both staurosporine-stimulated caspase-3 activation, p53 and neprilysin expression and activity were not affected by TMP21 over-expression or depletion. Overall, our functional data further reinforce the view that TMP21 behaves as a regulator of gamma- but not epsilon-cleavages generated by PS-dependent gamma-secretase complex.

Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase. Recently, it is suggested that SIRT1 may be involved in the development of malignant tumors including mouse lymphoma. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence and the prognostic impact of SIRT1 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Immunohistochemical expression of SIRT1, p53, bcl2, CD10, bcl6, and multiple myeloma-1 (MUM1) were evaluated by using a 2 mm core from 104 DLBCL patients for tissue microarray. Positive expression of SIRT1 was seen in 74% (77/104) of patients. In total DLBCL patients, SIRT1 and p53 expression were significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS) by univariate analysis (P=0.001 and P=0.011, respectively). SIRT1 was also an independent prognostic factor by multivariate analysis (P=0.01). According to the expression patterns of CD10, bcl6, and MUM1, germinal center B cell (GCB) types were represented in 38 cases (37%) and non-GCB types were represented in 66 cases (63%). In the GCB type, only p53 expression was associated with a significantly shorter OS (P=0.032). In the non-GCB type, expression of SIRT1 correlated with shorter OS by univariate analyses (P=0.005) and multivariate analyses (P=0.049). In conclusion, we showed that SIRT1 expression is a clinically significant prognostic indicator for DLBCL patients.

Separase is an endopeptidase that separates sister chromatids by cleaving cohesin Rad21 during the metaphase-to-anaphase transition. Conditional expression of Separase in tetracycline-inducible diploid FSK3 mouse mammary epithelial cells with both p53 WT and mutant (Ser-233-234) alleles of unknown physiological significance develops aneuploidy within 5 days of Separase induction in vitro. Overexpression of Separase induces premature separation of chromatids, lagging chromosomes, and anaphase bridges. In an in vivo mouse mammary transplant model, induction of Separase expression in the transplanted FSK3 cells for 3-4 weeks results in the formation of aneuploid tumors in the mammary gland. Xenograft studies combined with histological and cytogenetic analysis reveal that Separase-induced tumors are clonal in their genomic complements and have a mesenchymal phenotype suggestive of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Induction of Separase resulted in trisomies for chromosomes 8, 15, and 17; monosomy for chromosome 10; and amplification of the distal region of chromosomes 8 and 11. Separase protein is found to be significantly overexpressed in human breast tumors compared with matched normal tissue. These results collectively suggest that Separase is an oncogene, whose overexpression alone in mammary epithelial cells is sufficient to induce aneuploidy and tumorigenesis in a p53 mutant background.
