Sections of primary lung carcinomas, lung metastases, mesotheliomas, and lung metastases of some rare mesenchymal tumors were incubated with different cytokeratin (CK), vimentin, desmin, and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) antibodies and with antibodies reactive with different hormones (ACTH, PTH, alpha-HCG, Calcitonin CT), CEA, carcinoma-associated antigen (CA1), secretory component (SC), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha-1-AT), lysozyme (lyso), and S-100 protein (S 100). CK antibodies derived from a 49 kD (reactive with simple epithelia [SE]) and a 67 kD CK polypeptide fraction (reaction with complex epithelia [CE] were useful differentiation markers for the four major groups of lung carcinomas. In one half of small cell carcinomas a positive reaction with NSE antibodies was found. S 100 and SC were good markers for papillary and bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinomas, whereas CEA was less important because of its reactivity with different types of lung carcinomas. To discern clear cell carcinomas of lung and renal origin a positive reaction with vimentin antibodies (some renal but not lung types) and with CA1 (no renal but all lung types) seemed to be useful. All hormone antibodies were of no importance as markers for difficult differential diagnosis, because positive reactivities were found in cases from every major carcinoma group. In addition, a Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) was found in mesotheliomas but not in papillary adenocarcinomas.

The ATP2B1 gene is associated with hypertension. We previously reported that systemic heterozygous ATP2B1-null (ATP2B1+/-) mice exhibited hypertension due to impaired endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and decreased nitric oxide (NO) production. The ATP2B1 gene encodes plasma membrane calcium ATPase 1 (PMCA1), which has been thought to regulate only intracellular Ca2+ concentration. However, recently, it has been suggested that ATP2B1 works not only at cellular levels, but also throughout the entire body, including in the calcium metabolism, using small intestine-specific ATP2B1 knockout mice. To clarify the roles of ATP2B1 in the entire body and the effects of ATP2B1 on blood pressure, we examined the alterations of calcium related factors in ATP2B1+/- mice. ATP2B1+/- mice exhibited hypocalcemia. The expression of ATP2B1 in the kidney and small intestine decreased, and hypercalciuria was confirmed in ATP2B1+/- mice. The intact-PTH levels were lower, and bone mineral density was increased in these mice. These results suggest that hypocalcemia is mainly a result of inhibited bone resorption without compensation by PTH secretion in the case of ATP2B1 knockout. Moreover, NO production may be affected by reduced PTH secretion, which may cause the increase in vascular contractility in these mice. The ATP2B1 gene is important for not only intra-cellular calcium regulation but also for calcium homeostasis and blood pressure control.
