Combined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) (cHCC-CC) has wide histological diversity characterized by relatively poor prognosis. Because of a lack of investigation into its molecular mechanisms, no effective systemic therapy is currently available for unresectable cHCC-CC tumors. Here, we retrospectively examined the clinicopathological and activation statuses of the Akt/mTOR pathway in 89 cases of cHCC-CC. Expression levels of molecular markers associated with this signaling pathway, including phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), p-mTOR, p-ribosomal protein S6 (p-S6RP), and p-eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-binding protein 1 (p-4E-BP1), were measured by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, such activation in different cHCC-CC morphological categories was compared by dividing cases into those with HCC (n = 86), CC (n = 78), and intermediate components (n = 60). Comparison of prognosis among these groups revealed that p-4E-BP1 immunopositivity in cHCC-CC cases containing CC a component was a significant risk factor for poorer overall survival (P = 0.041). By evaluating factors in p-4E-BP1 expression in 78 cHCC-CC cases with a CC component, only lymph node metastasis was significantly correlated with positive immunostaining for p-4E-BP1 (P = 0.0222). In conclusion, p-4E-BP1 expression, especially in cHCC-CC cases with a CC component, was a notable Akt/mTOR pathway-related factor associated with poor prognosis. Assessing histological structure and p-4E-BP1 expression in cHCC-CC may be helpful for both predicting prognosis and using molecular targeted therapy..

Methods: Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on data of 103 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC treated with anti-PD-1 inhibitors. The SMA was measured at the level of the third lumbar vertebral (L3) on computed tomography images using OsiriX software (32-bit, version 5.8; OsiriX, Geneva, Switzerland). The L3 muscle index (cm2/m2) was defined as the SMA (cm2) at the L3 level divided by the height (m) squared. Results: L3 muscle index Low was an independent predictor of both progression-free (P = 0.0399) and overall survival (P = 0.0155). Moreover, the disease control rate was significantly lower in the L3 muscle index Low group (49.0% [25/51]) than in the L3 muscle index High group (73.1% [38/52]; P = 0.0117). However, there was no significant difference between the response rates of the L3 muscle index Low group (21.6% [11/51]) and L3 muscle index High group (32.7% [17/52]; P = 0.2031). Conclusions: L3 muscle index Low is an independent predictor of worse outcomes in NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1 inhibitors..

Kanako Kurata, Makoto Kubo, Masaya Kai, Hitomi Mori, Hitomi Kawaji, Kazuhisa Kaneshiro, Mai Yamada, Reiki Nishimura, Tomofumi Osako, Nobuyuki Arima, Masayuki Okido, Yoshinao Oda, Masafumi Nakamura, Microsatellite instability in Japanese female patients with triple-negative breast cancer, Breast Cancer, 10.1007/s12282-019-01043-5, 2020.05, Background: It is important to identify biomarkers for triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Recently, pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) for programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), was approved as a treatment strategy for unresectable or metastatic tumor with high-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficiency, such as malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell cancer and urothelial cancer. In addition, results from clinical trials suggested that ICI was a promising treatment for TNBCs with accumulated mutations. However, the frequency of MSI in Japanese TNBCs still remains unclear. We aimed to analyze the presence of MSI-H in TNBCs as a biomarker for ICI therapy. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the MSI of 228 TNBCs using an innovative method, MSI Analysis System Version 1.2 (Promega), consisting of 5 microsatellite markers: BAT-26, NR-21, BAT-25, MONO-27 and NR-24 without a normal tissue control. Results: Among 228 tumors, 222 (97.4%) were microsatellite stable, 4 (1.7%) low-frequency MSI and 2 (0.9%) MSI-H, respectively. Two MSI-H tumors were potentially aggressive pathologically as indicated by nuclear grade 3 and high Ki-67 (> 30%), and were classified as basal-like and non-BRCA-like, but were not consistent regarding tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, CD8 and PD-L1 expression. Conclusions: Although we found that MSI-H was uncommon (0.9%) in TNBCs, potential targets for ICIs exist in TNBCs. Therefore, MSI-H breast cancer patients should be picked up using not only conventional methods but also platforms for comprehensive genomic profiling..

Materials and methods: We performed univariate and multivariate analyses on 226 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC treated with anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) therapy. The cut-off values for body mass index (BMI), albumin (Alb), and serum inflammatory markers were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. Tumor response was assessed by computed tomography according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1. Results: BMI ≥ 19.1 kg/m2 and derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR)

Recently, there have been several reports suggesting the relationship between innate immunity and OS, but the detailed mechanism is unknown. We demonstrate the relationship between OS and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) which is one of the most important factors in innate immunity. Methods: We established a syngenic mouse tumor model using C3H/HeN, C3H/HeJ mouse and a highly metastatic OS cell line, LM8. TLR4 activation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was performed on both mice and its influence on the progression of OS was evaluated. We also performed CD8 + cells depletion to examine the influence on TLR4 activation effects. Results: Tumor volume of C3H/HeN mice was significantly smaller and overall survival of C3H/HeN mice was significantly longer than C3H/HeJ mice. We found more CD8+ cells infiltrating in lung metastases of C3H/HeN mice and depletion of CD8+ cells canceled the antitumor effects of LPS. Conclusion: TLR4 activation by LPS increased CD8+ cells infiltrating into lung metastases and suppressed OS progression in the mouse model. TLR4 activation may suppress the progression of OS via stimulating CD8+ cells and can be expected as a novel treatment for OS..

However, the specific immune cell subsets predominantly activated during the period of anti-PD-1 therapy for AGC have not been clarified. Methods: Peripheral blood of 30 AGC patients treated with nivolumab was prospectively obtained before the initial and second administrations and at the time of progressive disease (PD). The proportions of immune cell subsets and the serum concentrations of cytokines were systematically analysed by flow cytometry. Associations of subsets and serum cytokines with therapeutic effects were evaluated. Results: After the initial administration, significant increases in activated central/effector memory, activated effector T cells, and activated T-helper 1 subsets were observed. At the time of PD, activated regulatory T cells, LAG3-positive CD4+/CD8+ T cells, and TIM3-positive CD4+/CD8+ T cells increased significantly. Significant positive correlations were shown between progression-free survival and proportions of LAG3-positive CD4+/CD8+ T cells and of OX40-positive CD4+/CD8+ T cells (log-rank p = 0.0008, 0.0003, 0.0035 and 0.0040). Conclusions: Nivolumab therapy enhances activation of central/effector memory and effector subsets of CD4+/CD8+ T cells. The expression levels of LAG-3 and OX40 on T cells correlated with the efficacy of nivolumab therapy and could be reasonable biomarkers for anti-PD-1 therapy..

We quantified the amount of collagen and elastin fibers in HCC samples with the aim of clarifying the clinico-patho-radiological significance of fiber deposition in HCC. Methods: We computed the amount of collagen and elastin fibers using digital image analysis of whole-slide images of Elastica van Gieson-stained tissues from 156 surgically resected HCCs. Furthermore, we assessed the correlations between the fiber content of HCC samples and clinical, pathological, and radiological features, including immunohistochemistry-based molecular subtypes and immunosubtypes. Results: The intratumoral area ratio of collagen in HCC tissues (median 3.4%, range 0.1–22.2%) was more than threefold that of elastin (median 0.9%, range 0.1–9.0%); there was a strong positive correlation between the amounts of collagen and elastin. Higher levels of combined collagen and elastin were significantly associated with the confluent multinodular macroscopic tumor type, the absence of a fibrous capsule, intratumoral steatosis, scirrhous tumor stroma, dense inflammatory-cell infiltrates, and the biliary/stem cell markers-positive HCC subtype. The associations of higher collagen levels with radiological findings, including heterogeneous enhancement and persistent enhancement on dynamic computed tomography, were significant. In contrast, the associations of radiological findings with elastin fibers were not significant. Intratumoral fibrous stroma in HCC comprised septum-like and perisinusoidal fibrosis; these two forms represented distinct distribution patterns of fibers and fibroblasts. Conclusion: Quantitative analysis suggested that stromal fiber-rich HCCs likely represent a distinct clinico-patho-radiological entity..

Methods: We evaluated PD-L1, PD-L2, and IDO1 expression in tumor cells and CD8-positive TILs in surgically resected specimens from 196 stage 0 or I lung adenocarcinoma patients by immunohistochemical staining. We also examined the relationships between the expression of PD-L1, PD-L2, and IDO1 in tumor cells and the density of CD8-positive TILs and clinical factors. Patients were divided into three groups: A, adenocarcinoma in situ and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (N = 32); B, lepidic predominant invasive adenocarcinoma (IAD; LPA; N = 66); and C, IAD except for LPA (N = 98). Results: PD-L1 was expressed only in Group C, but not in Groups A or B. The positive ratio of PD-L2 was significantly higher in Group C (63.3%), and that of IDO1 was also significantly higher in Group C (65.3%). The density of CD8-positive TILs was significantly higher in Group C (45 ± 2.4). There was no significant difference between the positive ratios of PD-L2 and IDO1 and the density of CD8-positive TILs in Group A (50.0%, 21.9%, and 36 ± 4.1, respectively) or Group B (60.6%, 25.8%, and 44 ± 3.0, respectively). Conclusions: No cases in Groups A and B expressed PD-L1. The expression of immune-related factors, especially PD-L1 and IDO1, was significantly associated with Group C. This is the first report of the detailed examination of PD-L1, PD-L2, IDO1, and CD8 expression in lung adenocarcinoma subtypes with lepidic predominant components. Our results could help identify patients who would benefit from perioperative immunotherapy..

comparative study of primary and metastatic lesions, Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 10.1007/s00432-020-03242-6, 2020.05, Purpose: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) are immunosuppressive proteins known to be associated with poor prognosis in various cancers. However, their expression and clinical relevance in osteosarcoma remain unknown. In this study, the relationships of PD-L1 and IDO1 expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis were explored. Methods: The expression of PD-L1, IDO1, CD3, CD4, and CD8 in 112 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues collected by biopsy or surgical resection from 56 osteosarcoma patients was evaluated immunohistochemically. Moreover, four osteosarcoma cell lines were evaluated for the effects of IFNγ on PD-L1 and IDO1 mRNA expression by real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: In pre-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) primary specimens, 10 cases (17%) showed PD-L1 expression and 12 (21%) showed IDO1 expression. Six of ten cases (60%) with PD-L1 positivity co-expressed IDO1. In post-NAC metastatic lesions, the frequency of immunoexpression of PD-L1 and IDO1 was increased compared with that in pre-NAC specimens. PD-L1 and/or IDO1 expression was not associated with poor prognosis. PD-L1 immunoexpression was significantly associated with the infiltration of CD3+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells; while, IDO1 immunoexpression was significantly associated with the infiltration of CD3+ T cells and CD4+ T cells. In all osteosarcoma cell lines, PD-L1 and IDO1 expression was upregulated by stimulation with IFNγ. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the PD-L1 and IDO1 immune checkpoint inhibitors may provide clinical benefit in osteosarcoma patients with metastatic lesions after conventional chemotherapy..

More than half of IMTs have the ALK gene rearrangement, and a minor subset have ROS1, NTRK3 or RET gene rearrangements. We sought to determine the potential diagnostic utility of pan-Trk immunohistochemistry for IMTs. Methods and results: We retrospectively examined 40 cases of IMT using immunohistochemistry with a rabbit monoclonal pan-Trk antibody. Gene rearrangement was confirmed by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation and/or reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. The IMTs were classified as the ALK (n = 29), ROS1 (n = 2), NTRK3 (n = 2), RET (n = 0) and ‘quadruple-negative’ (n = 7) genotypes by molecular analyses. Both of the ETV6–NTRK3 fusion-positive cases showed nuclear and cytoplasmic staining for pan-Trk in the majority of tumour cells. None of the ALK, ROS1 or quadruple-negative-type IMTs showed nuclear staining for pan-Trk, but approximately one-third of these IMTs showed focal and weak cytoplasmic staining. One exceptional case of a RANBP2–ALK-positive epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (an aggressive variant of IMT) showed moderate cytoplasmic staining for pan-Trk. Conclusions: These results suggest that pan-Trk immunoreactivity with a nuclear and cytoplasmic staining pattern may be useful to identify ETV6–NTRK3-positive IMTs and may be helpful in selecting patients for Trk-targeted therapy..

Here, we describe the clinicopathologic features and gene fusion status of 12 cases (11 primary uterine corpus and 1 primary vaginal), 11 diagnosed prospectively from 2016, and 1 retrospectively collected. Targeted RNA sequencing and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization was employed in all cases. High-grade transformation was seen at the time of initial diagnosis in eight patients and at the time of recurrence in four patients, 4–11 years after initial diagnosis of LGESS. High-grade morphology consisted of generally uniform population of round to epithelioid cells with enlarged nuclei one to two times larger than a lymphocyte, visible nucleoli, and increased mitotic index (range, 6–30; median, 16 per 10 high-power fields); there was often an associated sclerotic and/or myxoid stroma. Estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and CD10 expression was absent or significantly decreased (compared with the low-grade component) in the high-grade foci of five tumors. One tumor demonstrated positive (diffuse and strong) cyclin D1 and BCOR staining. p53 staining was wild type in both components of all eight tumors tested. JAZF1-SUZ12 (n = 6), JAZF1-PHF1 (n = 3), EPC1-PHF1, (n = 1), or BRD8-PHF1 (n = 1) fusions were detected in 11 tumors; no fusions were found in one by targeted RNA sequencing. Patients presented with FIGO stages I (n = 4), II (n = 4), III (n = 1), and IV disease (n = 2). Median overall survival calculated from the time of histologic transformation was 22 months (range, 8 months to 8 years) with five patients who died of disease 8–18 months after transformation. High-grade transformation may occur in LGESS with JAZF1 and PHF1 rearrangements at the time of or years after initial diagnosis. Such high-grade transformation is characterized by nuclear enlargement, prominent nucleoli, and increased mitotic index compared with typical LGESS. Histologic high-grade transformation may herald aggressive behavior..

Methods: We enrolled 245 patients with PanNENs treated at Kyushu University Hospital between January 1987 and March 2018. PanNENs were categorized according to the WHO 2017 classification or further subdivisions of Ki-67 index. Clinicopathological features, median survival time (MST), and prognostic factors were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The number of PanNENs, especially non-functioning PanNENs, has increased over the last decade. The mean MST of all patients was 202 months; which was longest in patients with NET G1 (n = 145, MST = 261 months) relative to NET G2 (n = 72, 132 months), NET G3 (n = 3, 34 months) and NEC G3 (n = 17, 9 months). Prognosis in patients with surgery as the first-line treatment was significantly better than in those with drug therapy. However, 26% of patients who underwent curative resection developed recurrence after a median time of 28.7 months. In unresectable PanNENs (n = 97), the MST and 5-year survival rate were 78 months and 55.8%, respectively. Poor differentiation, Ki-67 index of >10% and presence of liver metastasis were significant unfavorable predictors. Response to first-line therapy (stable disease/partial response) and three or more treatment regimens were significant favorable predictors for unresectable PanNENs according to multivariate analyses (p

Deficiency of mismatch repair and SWI/SNF complex, Cancer Science, 10.1111/cas.14301, 111, 3, 1008-1019, 2020.03, ARID1A, one of the subunits in SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is frequently mutated in gastric cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI). The most frequent MSI in solid-type poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PDA) has been reported, but the SWI/SNF complex status in solid-type PDA is still largely unknown. We retrospectively analyzed 54 cases of solid-type PDA for the expressions of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6), SWI/SNF complex subunits (ARID1A, INI1, BRG1, BRM, BAF155, and BAF170) and EBER, and mutations in KRAS and BRAF. We analyzed 40 cases of another histological type of gastric cancer as a control group. The solid-type PDAs showed coexisting glandular components (76%), MMR deficiency (39%), and complete/partial loss of ARID1A (31%/7%), INI1 (4%/4%), BRG1 (48%/30%), BRM (33%/33%), BAF155 (13%/41%), and BAF170 (6%/2%), EBER positivity (4%), KRAS mutation (2%), and BRAF mutation (2%). Compared to the control group, MMR deficiency and losses of ARID1A, BRG1, BRM, and BAF155 were significantly frequent in solid-type PDAs. Mismatch repair deficiency was associated with the losses of ARID1A, BRG1, and BAF155 in solid-type PDAs. In the MMR-deficient group, solid components showed significantly more frequent losses of ARID1A, BRG1, BRM, and BAF155 compared to glandular components (P =.0268, P =.0181, P =.0224, and P =.0071, respectively). In the MMR-proficient group, solid components showed significantly more frequent loss of BRG1 compared to glandular components (P =.012). In conclusion, solid-type PDAs showed frequent losses of MMR proteins and the SWI/SNF complex. We suggest that loss of the SWI/SNF complex could induce a morphological shift from differentiated-type adenocarcinoma to solid-type PDA..

Tsuyoshi Iwanaka, Takayoshi Yamaza, Soichiro Sonoda, Koichiro Yoshimaru, Toshiharu Matsuura, Haruyoshi Yamaza, Shouichi Ohga, Yoshinao Oda, Tomoaki Taguchi, A model study for the manufacture and validation of clinical-grade deciduous dental pulp stem cells for chronic liver fibrosis treatment, Stem Cell Research and Therapy, 10.1186/s13287-020-01630-w, 11, 1, 2020.03, Background: Human deciduous pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) have remarkable stem cell potency associated with cell proliferation, mesenchymal multipotency, and immunosuppressive function and have shown beneficial effects in a variety of animal disease models. Recent studies demonstrated that hDPSCs exhibited in vivo anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory action and in vivo hepatogenic-associated liver regeneration, suggesting that hDPSCs may offer a promising source with great clinical demand for treating liver diseases. However, how to manufacture ex vivo large-scale clinical-grade hDPSCs with the appropriate quality, safety, and preclinical efficacy assurances remains unclear. Methods: We isolated hDPSCs from human deciduous dental pulp tissues formed by the colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) method and expanded them under a xenogeneic-free and serum-free (XF/SF) condition; hDPSC products were subsequently stored by two-step banking including a master cell bank (MCB) and a working cell bank (WCB). The final products were directly thawed hDPSCs from the WCB. We tested the safety and quality check, stem cell properties, and preclinical potentials of final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the MCB and WCB. Results: We optimized manufacturing procedures to isolate and expand hDPSC products under a XF/SF culture condition and established the MCB and the WCB. The final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the MCB and WCB were validated the safety and quality including population doubling ability, chromosome stability, microorganism safety, and stem cell properties including morphology, cell surface marker expression, and multipotency. We also evaluated the in vivo immunogenicity and tumorigenicity and validated in vivo therapeutic efficacy for liver regeneration in a CCl4-induced chronic liver fibrosis mouse model in the final hDPSC products and hDPSC products in the WCB. Conclusion: The manufacture and quality control results indicated that the present procedure could produce sufficient numbers of clinical-grade hDPSC products from a tiny deciduous dental pulp tissue to enhance clinical application of hDPSC products in chronic liver fibrosis..

This study aimed to develop an automated approach for estimating prostate cancer grade groups based on features obtained from histological image analysis. Methods: Fifty-nine patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were selected under the approval of the institutional review board of our university hospital. For estimation, we followed the grade group criteria provided by the International Society of Urological Pathology in 2014. One hundred eight specimen slides obtained from the patients were digitized to extract 110 regions of interest (ROI) from hematoxylin and eosin-stained histological images using a digital whole slide scanner at ×20 magnification with a pixel size of 0.4 μm. Each color pixel value in the ROI was decomposed into six intensities corresponding to the RGB (red, green, and blue) and HSV (hue, saturation, and value) color models. Image features were extracted by histological image analysis, obtaining 54 features from the ROI based on histogram and texture analyses in the six types of decomposed histological images. Then, 40 representative features were selected from the 324 histological image features based on statistically significant differences (P <.05 between the mean image feature values for high gleason score and low grade groups. relationship groups most representative complexity was approximated using regression to estimate real-number defined by continuous numerical grading. finally were expressed as conventional integers from a piecewise step function. results: correctly estimated proposed approach without errors on training rois validation data. conclusions: our results suggest that may support pathologists during evaluation of prostate cancer thus mitigating intra- interobserver variability.. id="gencho_ronbuns10095911" class="qir_handle_link">

We have recently explored new targeting molecules and pathways in PDAC cells under hypoxic conditions. In this study, we performed a microarray experiment to analyze the genes up-regulated in PDAC cell lines under hypoxia compared to normoxia, and identified human family with sequence similarity 115, member C (FAM115C) as a candidate gene for further study. Our data showed that FAM115C was overexpressed in PDAC cell lines under hypoxia, and FAM115C inhibition promoted PDAC cell migration and invasion in vitro. FAM115C inhibition did not affect tumor cell proliferation in PDAC. Immunohistochemically, FAM115C expression was observed ubiquitously in normal pancreas, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) and PDAC tissue, and it was located mainly in the nucleus but also in the cytoplasm of cells. In qPCR analysis, high expression of FAM115C was correlated with better prognosis in patients with PDAC. Our findings suggest that FAM115C could be a novel tumor suppressor associated with prolonged survival in patients with PDAC..

The Hisayama Study, Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 10.1111/jdi.13232, 2020.02, Aims/Introduction: Changes in histologically quantified β- and α-cell mass during the development of glucose intolerance have not been fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to explore differences in β- and α-cell mass according to the glucose tolerance status. Materials and Methods: Autopsy samples from a total of 103 individuals (40 with normal glucose tolerance, 31 with prediabetes and 32 with type 2 diabetes mellitus) who underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test within 5 years before death were selected from 643 community-based autopsy samples collected from 2002 to 2016. Fractional β-cell area (BCA) and α-cell area were quantified with Image Pro Plus software. Associations of BCA and α-cell area with glucose tolerance status were assessed using a linear regression analysis, and Spearman’s correlation coefficients between glycemic markers and β-cell function were estimated. Results: The mean values of BCA decreased significantly with worsening glucose tolerance status (mean ± standard error 1.85 ± 0.10% in normal glucose tolerance, 1.59 ± 0.11% in prediabetes and 1.17 ± 0.11% in type 2 diabetes mellitus, P for trend

In the present study, each TLS was categorized according to its cellular composition determined by a system of multiplex immunohistochemical staining and quantitative analysis, and the correlation between the category and prognosis was examined. Sixty-seven patients with curatively resected stage II/III colorectal cancer (CRC) were enrolled. A TLS, consisting of germinal center B cells, follicular dendritic cells, T helper (Th) cells, B cells, cytotoxic T cells, and macrophages, was confirmed in the tumor tissue of 58 patients (87%). The densities of Th cells and macrophages were significantly higher in relapsed patients than in not-relapsed patients (p = .043 and p = .0076). A higher ratio of Th cells was the most significant independent risk factor for disease relapse on multivariate analysis. The subset increasing in Th cells was GATA3+ Th2. A total of 353 TLSs was divided into five clusters according to immune cell composition. Among them, the Th-rich type TLS was significantly increased (p = .0009) in relapsed patients. These data suggest the possibility that Th cell-dominant composition might disturb the anti-tumor immune response, and the function of each TLS might differ depending on its composition..

Treatment of the rare tumor needs to be optimized for ocular preserved survival without second primary malignancy (SPM). Methods: We studied the outcomes of all patients with retinoblastoma at a tertiary center in 1984-2016, when preservation method changed from radiotherapy (1984-2001) to systemic chemotherapy (2002-2016). Results: One-hundred sixteen infants developed unilateral- (n = 77), bilateral- (n = 38), or trilateral-onset (n = 1) tumor. Ten (8.6%) had a positive family history, despite a few studies on RB1 gene. Contralateral disease occurred in one unilateral-onset case. One-hundred eight of 155 eyes (70%) were enucleated. Nine binocular survivors were from 5 bilateral- and 4 unilateral-onset cases. Two survivors received bilateral enucleation. Six deaths occurred; brain involvement (including 3 trilateral diseases) in 4 bilateral-onset, systemic invasion in a unilateral-onset, and SPM (osteosarcoma) in a bilateral-onset case(s). Two others survived SPM of osteosarcoma or lymphoma. The 10-year overall survival (OS: 98.5% vs. 91.3%, p = 0.068) and binocular survivors (13.2% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.154) between bilateral- and unilateral-onsets did not differ statistically. The 10-year OS and cancer (retinoblastoma/SPM)-free survival (CFS) rates of all patients were 94.9 and 88.5%, respectively. The proportion of preserved eyes did not differ between radiotherapy and chemotherapy eras. The CFS rate of bilateral-onset cases in systemic chemotherapy era was higher than that in radiotherapy era (p = 0.042). The CFS rates of bilateral-onset patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (upfront systemic therapy for preservation) was higher than those without it (p = 0.030). Conclusions: Systemic chemotherapy and local therapy raised OS and binocular survival rates of bilateral-onset patients similarly to those of unilateral-onset patients. All but one death was associated with a probable germline defect of the RB1 gene. Neoadjuvant stratified chemotherapy may support the long-term binocular life with minimized risk of SPM..

Here, we investigate the significance of necroptosis in pancreatic cancer. Methods We used immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis to evaluate expression of the key mediators of necroptosis—receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 3 (RIP3) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)—in human pancreatic cancer. We also tested the effects of conditioned media (CM) from necroptotic cells on pancreatic cancer cells in Transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays. Protein array analysis was used to investigate possible mediators derived from necroptotic cells. Results RIP3 and MLKL are highly expressed in human pancreatic cancer tissues compared with normal pancreas. MLKL expression was particularly intense at the tumor invasion front. CM derived from necroptotic cells promoted cancer cell migration and invasion, but not CM derived from apoptotic cells. C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL5) was upregulated in CM derived from necroptotic cells compared with CM derived from control or apoptotic cells. Moreover, expression of the receptor for CXCL5, C-X-C-motif chemokine receptor-2 (CXCR2), was upregulated in pancreatic cancer cells. Inhibition of CXCR2 suppressed cancer cell migratory and invasive behavior enhanced by necroptosis. Conclusion These findings indicate that necroptosis at the pancreatic cancer invasion front can promote cancer cell migration and invasion via the CXCL5–CXCR2 axis..

Although surgical resection is the widely accepted primary treatment for TSGCT, recurrences are frequent, and patients’ joint function may be severely compromised. Previous studies reported that CSF1-COL6A3 fusion genes were identified in approximately 30% of TSGCTs. The aim of our study was to comprehensively clarify the genomic abnormalities in TSGCTs. We performed whole exome sequencing in combination with target sequence validation on 34 TSGCT samples. RNA sequencing was also performed on 18 samples. RNA sequencing revealed fusion transcripts involving CSF1, including novel CSF1-VCAM1, CSF1-FN1 and CSF1-CDH1 fusions, in 13/18 (72%) cases. These fusion genes were validated by chromogenic in situ hybridization. All CSF1 fusions resulted in the deletion of CSF1 exon 9, which was previously shown to be an important negative regulator of CSF1 expression. We also found that 12 (35%) of the 34 TSGCT samples harbored CBL missense mutations. All mutations were detected in exons 8 or 9, which encode the linker and RING finger domain. Among these mutations, C404Y, L380P and R420Q were recurrent. CBL-mutated cases showed higher JAK2 expression than wild-type CBL cases (p = 0.013). CSF1 fusion genes and CBL mutations were not mutually exclusive, and both alterations were detected in six of the 18 (33%) tumors. The frequent deletion of CSF1 exon 9 in the fusion transcripts suggested the importance of this event in the etiology of TSGCT. Our results may contribute to the development of new targeted therapies using JAK2 inhibitors for CBL-mutated TSGCT..

An immunohistochemical analysis, International journal of molecular sciences, 10.3390/ijms20246191, 20, 24, 2019.12, The current development of BRAF inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of unresectable melanoma. As the potential heterogeneity of BRAF mutations in melanoma has been reported, accurate detection of BRAF mutations are important. However, the genetic heterogeneity of acral melanoma—a distinct type of melanoma with a unique genetic background—has not fully been investigated. We conducted a retrospective review of our acral melanoma patients. Of the 196 patients with acral melanoma, we retrieved 31 pairs of primary and matched metastatic melanomas. We immunostained the 31 pairs with VE1, a BRAFV600E-mutation-specific monoclonal antibody. Immunohistochemistry with VE1 showed a high degree of sensitivity and specificity for detecting BRAFV600E mutations compared with the real-time polymerase chain reaction method. A total of nine primary (29.0%) and eight metastatic (25.8%) acral melanomas were positive for VE1. In three patients (9.7%), we observed a discordance of VE1 staining between the primary and metastatic lesions. Of note, VE1 immunohistochemical staining revealed a remarkable degree of intra-tumor genetic heterogeneity in acral melanoma. Our study reveals that VE1 immunostaining is a useful ancillary method for detecting BRAFV600E mutations in acral melanoma and allows for a clear visualization of intra-and inter-tumor BRAF heterogeneity..

MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 57 adrenal adenomas, the correlation between SUVmax on F-FDG PET and unenhanced CT attenuation was retrospectively investigated. In the 11 surgically resected nodules, the clear cell ratio (CCR) and expression levels of glucose transporters (GLUTs) 1 to 4 were pathologically evaluated. The GLUT expression levels were scored at 0 to 3 points for each transporter, and the sum of these expression levels was defined as the GLUT score. The relationships between CCR and either the CT attenuation number or SUVmax, and between the GLUT score and each of the CT attenutation value, SUVmax, or CCR were evaluated. RESULTS: There was a significant positive correlation between SUVmax and the CT attenuation value for the group of 57 adenomas (R = 0.44, P = 0.0007). For the 11 surgically resected cases, there was a nonsignificant trend of negative correlation between SUVmax and CCR (R = 0.57, P = 0.06). There was a significant positive correlation between GLUT score and CT attenuation value (R = 0.68, P = 0.02), and a significant negative correlation between GLUT score and CCR (R = 0.60, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Adrenal adenomas composed of many compact cells or having high attenuation on unenhanced CT showed high FDG uptake. FDG uptake of adrenal adenomas may depend on the constituent cells..

dedifferentiation is a major cause of patient death, Virchows Archiv, 10.1007/s00428-019-02622-9, 475, 4, 467-477, 2019.10, Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a soft-tissue neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential, presenting a wide histopathological spectrum. Poorer prognosis of hemangiopericytoma of the central nervous system (CNS), hypoglycemic SFT, and dedifferentiation are well-known characters of SFT, but their clinical significance were not demonstrated enough by large-sized study. Here, the clinicopathological features of SFTs are reviewed and the relationship between genetics and clinicopathological features is examined using 145 SFT cases. All cases were STAT6 IHC-positive and/or NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene-positive. Tumor location was classified into three categories: 30 pleuropulmonary, 96 non-pleuropulmonary/non-central nervous system (CNS), and 18 CNS tumors. The tumor developed recurrence in 21 of 93 available cases (22.5%), metastasis in 11 of 93 (11.8%), and tumor death in 9 of 93 (9.6%). Hypoglycemia occurred in 2 primary tumors and 1 metastatic tumor among 63 reviewable cases, and dedifferentiation occurred in 10 cases (6.8%) including 6 primary tumors, 2 recurrent tumors, and 2 metastatic tumors. Recurrence was positively associated with CNS location (p = 0.0109) and hypoglycemia (p = 0.001); metastasis was positively associated with CNS location (p = 0.0231), hypoglycemia (p

Few studies have examined cardiac pathology across a range of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs), which was the objective of this investigation. Study Design: Population-based cross-sectional study of deceased patients undergoing autopsy. Setting & Participants: 334 of 694 consecutive deceased patients undergoing autopsy with available cardiac tissue, with a prior health examination within 6 years and without a prior diagnosis of heart disease. Exposure: eGFR. Outcomes: The thickness of the left ventricular wall, sizes of cardiac cells, and percentages of fibrosis, estimated from pathology examination of autopsy samples. Analytical Approach: Generalized estimating equations. Results: Lower eGFRs were associated with greater left ventricular wall thickness. Deceased patients with eGFRs ≥ 60, 45 to 59, 30 to 44, and 2 had left ventricular wall thicknesses of 9.1, 9.5, 9.8, and 10.3 mm, respectively (P for trend 2 (P for trend 2 (P for trend

Here, we examined the association of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)–associated markers in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) within the context of the tumor microenvironment. Materials and methods: PDA samples from 36 patients were analyzed for PD-L1, vimentin, E-cadherin, and Snail expressions and for PDA cell and immune cell infiltration. PD-L1 expression and EMT in PDA cell lines under conditions of altering interferon gamma (IFN-γ) signals were also assessed. Results: Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant correlation between vimentin and PD-L1 expression, whereas double staining showed them to be simultaneously expressed by PDA cells. Positive vimentin expression was associated with the infiltration of a lower number of CD8 + T cells and a higher number of FoxP3 + cells and poor patient prognosis (P = 0.03). PDA tumor cells promoted PD-L1 expression and EMT under the presence of IFN-γ which was inhibited by the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1 small interfering RNA. Conclusions: Strong correlations were observed between PD-L1 expression, EMT, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Targeting STAT1 combined with PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy may improve outcomes for patients with PDA..

There are 4 subtypes of PGE2, PGE2 receptor 1, 2, 3 and 4 (EP 1–4). In GERD patents, PGE2, EP2 and EP4 are upregulated. However, the effects of PGE2 on esophageal motility remain elusive. We examined how PGE2 regulates motility in the porcine circular smooth muscle of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), and the circular and longitudinal smooth muscle of the esophagus body in organ bath. PGE2 induced tonic relaxation in the LES and circular smooth muscle, but transient contraction in longitudinal smooth muscle. The relaxation of the LES and circular smooth muscle was similar in pattern and mechanism, but was much larger in the LES. The relaxation was completely blocked by a voltage-gated K+ channel blocker or 40 mM K+ depolarization, indicating the involvement of K+ channel. Longitudinal smooth muscle contraction was completely blocked by an L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, showing the contribution of Ca2+ movement. The involvement of the EP receptor in motility was examined with selective receptor agonists and antagonists. Activation of EP2 and EP4 caused relaxation in the LES and circular smooth muscle. Compatible with PGE2, EP2 and EP4 agonists caused more significant relaxation in the LES than in circular smooth muscle. EP1 contributed to the longitudinal smooth muscle contraction. The different effects of PGE2 in the LES, circular and longitudinal smooth muscle contributes to esophageal motility, their impairment might increase the amount and frequency of esophageal reflux..

In this study, we focused on T-bet and examined the function of activated T cells. Methods: This study included 242 patients with primary triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who underwent resection without neoadjuvant chemotherapy between January 2004 and December 2014. The immunohistochemistry scoring for CD8 and T-bet expression on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was defined as ≥ 30 per 6.25 × 10−3 mm2. Results: Of the 242 TNBC cases, CD8 was positively expressed in 127 (52.5%) tumors, and T-bet was positively expressed in 67 (27.7%) tumors. T-bet expression was significantly correlated with CD8 expression (p + tumors had longer overall survival (OS) compared with patients with T-bet tumors (p = 0.047). The combination of CD8+ and T-bet+ was associated with a better recurrence-free survival (RFS) and OS compared to CD8+/T-bet tumors (p = 0.037 and p = 0.024, respectively). Adjuvant chemotherapy provided significantly greater benefit to patients with T-bet+ tumors (p = 0.031 for RFS, p = 0.0003 for OS). Multivariate analysis revealed that T-bet expression on TILs was an independent and positive prognostic indicator (HR = 0.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12–0.94, p = 0.037 for RFS, HR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.07–0.95, p = 0.039 for OS). Conclusions: OS was significantly improved for patients with high T-bet-expressing TILs in TNBC. Thus, T-bet may be a predictive indicator for survival and various immunotherapy strategies in TNBC..

Hence, this study aimed to identify new biomarkers to predict the recurrence of PNETs. We performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on RNA isolated from frozen primary tumors sampled from all localized G1/G2 PNETs resected curatively from 1998 to 2015 in our institution. We calculated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tumor with and without recurrence (≥3 years) for the propensity-matched cohort. Gene ontology analysis for the identified DEGs was also performed. Furthermore, we evaluated the expression levels of candidate genes as recurrence predictors via immunostaining. Comparison of transcriptional levels in tumors with and without recurrence identified 166 DEGs. Up- and downregulated genes with high significance in these tumors were mainly related to extracellular organization and cell adhesion, respectively. We observed the top three upregulated genes, C-type lectin domain family 3 member A (CLEC3A), matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7), and lipocalin2 (LCN2) immunohistochemically and compared their levels in recurrent and nonrecurrent tumors. Significantly higher recurrence rate was shown in patients with positive expression of CLEC3A (P = 0.028), MMP7 (P = 0.003), and LCN2 (P = 0.040) than that with negative expression. We identified CLEC3A, MMP7, and LCN2 known to be associated with the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway, as potential novel markers to predict the postoperative recurrence of PNETs..

However, the clinical significance of programmed death-ligand 2 (PD-L2), another PD-1 ligand, remains unclear. Therefore, we analyzed PD-L2 expression by immunohistochemistry in surgically resected primary lung SCC. Patients and Methods: PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression on tumor cells were analyzed in 211 primary lung SCC specimens by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, numbers of CD3 + , CD4 + , and CD8 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were also examined. Results: The rates of positive PD-L2 expression were 77.3% and 67.3% using 5% and 10% cut-off values, respectively. Low PD-L2 expression on tumor cells was statistically associated with histological type (non-keratinizing/keratinizing) and lymphatic invasion. PD-L2-positive patients had significantly longer postoperative survival time (log-rank test; p = 0.0170 at 5% cut-off and p = 0.0500 at 10% cut-off). Furthermore, survival analysis according to PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression revealed that PD-L1-positive and PD-L2-negative patients had the most unfavorable prognosis. Conclusions: PD-L2 protein expression was associated with prognosis in primary lung SCC patients. PD-L2 expression might be a potential biomarker for response to PD-1/PD-L1-targeted immunotherapy, which should be investigated in future studies..

We randomly selected 448 patients (70%) from 640 consecutive patients with resected stage I–III primary lung AD, who had been treated at that point with surgery alone. Expression of PD-L2 and IDO1 in these patients was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and evaluated with respect to peripheral blood markers measured before surgery, including white blood cells, absolute neutrophil count, absolute lymphocyte count, absolute monocyte count (AMC), absolute eosinophil count (AEC), serum C-reactive protein, and serum lactate dehydrogenase levels. Membrane PD-L2 expression and cytoplasmic IDO1 expression were defined by tumor proportion score (TPS); samples with TPS

Shinichi Tsuruta, Yoshihiro Ohishi, Minako Fujiwara, Eikichi Ihara, Yoshihiro Ogawa, Eiji Oki, Masafumi Nakamura, Yoshinao Oda, Gastric hepatoid adenocarcinomas are a genetically heterogenous group; most tumors show chromosomal instability, but MSI tumors do exist, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2019.03.006, 88, 27-38, 2019.06, The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network classified gastric adenocarcinoma into four molecular subtypes: (1) Epstein-Barr virus–positive (EBV), (2) microsatellite-instable (MSI), (3) chromosomal instable (CIN), and (4) genomically stable (GS). The molecular subtypes of gastric hepatoid adenocarcinomas are still largely unknown. We analyzed 52 hepatoid adenocarcinomas for the expression of surrogate markers of molecular subtypes (MLH1, p53, and EBER in situ hybridization) and some biomarkers (p21, p16, Rb, cyclin D1, cyclin E, β-catenin, Bcl-2, IMP3, ARID1A and HER2), and mutations of TP53, CTNNB1, KRAS, and BRAF. We analyzed 36 solid-type poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas as a control group. Hepatoid adenocarcinomas were categorized as follows: EBV group (EBER-positive), no cases (0%); MSI group (MLH1 loss), three cases (6%); “CIN or GS” (CIN/GS) group (EBER-negative, MLH1 retained), 49 cases (94%). In the CIN/GS group, most of the tumors (59%) had either p53 overexpression or TP53 mutation and a coexisting tubular intestinal-type adenocarcinoma component (90%), suggesting that most hepatoid adenocarcinomas should be categorized as a true CIN group. Hepatoid adenocarcinomas showed relatively frequent expressions of HER2 (score 3+/2+: 21%/19%). Hepatoid adenocarcinomas showed shorter survival, more frequent overexpressions of p16 (67%) and IMP3 (98%) than the control group. None of hepatoid adenocarcinomas had KRAS or CTNNB1 mutations except for one case each, and no hepatoid adenocarcinomas had BRAF mutation. In conclusion, gastric hepatoid adenocarcinomas are a genetically heterogenous group. Most hepatoid adenocarcinomas are “CIN,” but a small number of hepatoid adenocarcinomas with MSI do exist. Hepatoid adenocarcinomas are characterized by overexpressions of p16 and IMP3..

Methods: We performed immunohistochemical staining for CD110 expression in tumor samples from 86 patients with pancreatic cancer. We evaluated clinical outcomes and other clinicopathological factors to determine the significance of CD110 on survival and liver metastasis. We examine thrombopoietin–CD110 signaling in cancer cell extravasation in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the effects of CD110 knockdown on liver metastasis in a splenic xenograft mouse model. Results: CD110 expression in cancer cells was associated with low-histological-grade invasive ductal carcinoma, and patients with high CD110 expression had poorer prognosis (P = 0.0003). High CD110 expression was an independent predictor of liver metastasis (P = 0.0422). Knockdown of CD110 expression significantly attenuated cell migration and invasion. Treatment with thrombopoietin promoted pancreatic cancer cell extravasation. In the presence of thrombopoietin, CD110 increased cell viability through the activation of the ERK–MYC signaling pathway. Knockdown of CD110 expression inhibited liver metastases in the mouse model. Conclusions: CD110 promotes pancreatic cancer progression and it may serve as a predictive factor for liver metastasis..

However, the usefulness and limitations of ICG navigation surgery for hepatoblastoma (HB) have not been fully clarified. We herein report our experiences with surgical navigation using ICG for in HB patients. Methods: In 5 HB patients, 10 ICG navigation surgeries were performed using a 10-mm infrared fluorescence imaging scope after the injection of 0.5 mg/kg ICG intravenously. The surgical and clinical features were collected retrospectively. Results: Navigation surgery using ICG was performed for primary liver tumors in 4 cases, and the timing of ICG injection was 90.5 ± 33.7 h before the operation. All tumors exhibited intense fluorescence from the liver surface. ICG navigation for the primary liver tumor was useful for detecting the residual tumor at the stump and invasion to the diaphragm during surgery. Six lung surgeries using ICG navigation were performed. The timing of ICG injection was 21.8 ± 3.4 h before the operation. The size of the metastatic tumor was 7.4 ± 4.1 mm (1.2–15 mm). Of 11 metastatic tumors detected by computed tomography (CT), 10—including the smallest tumor (1.2 mm)—were able to be detected by ICG from the lung surface. The depth of the 10 ICG-positive tumors from the lung surface was 0.9 ± 1.9 mm (0–6 mm), and the depth of the single ICG-negative tumor was 12 mm. One lesion not detected by CT showed ICG false positivity. Conclusion: Navigation surgery using ICG for patients with HB was useful for identifying tumors and confirming complete resection. However, in ICG navigation surgery, we must be aware of the limitations with regard to the tumor size and the depth from the surface..

Correlation with Pathological Early-Stage and EGFR Mutation, Annals of Surgical Oncology, 10.1245/s10434-018-07137-2, 26, 5, 1544-1551, 2019.05, Background: CD44 isoforms serve as a marker for cancer stem cells. CD44 variant 9 (CD44v9) contributes to the defense against reactive oxygen species, resulting in resistance to chemoradiotherapy. However, the significance of CD44v9 in patients with lung adenocarcinoma is unknown. Methods: We used immunohistochemical analysis to retrospectively analyze CD44v9 expression in 268 surgically resected lung adenocarcinomas and investigated the association between CD44v9 expression and patients’ clinicopathological features. Results: The expression of CD44v9 in 193 of 268 (72.0%) patients was significantly associated with early-stage cancer, low-grade tumors, absence of vessel and pleural invasion, and a mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene. Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that CD44v9 expression was significantly associated with early-stage disease [odds ratio (OR) 0.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14–0.59; p

We established a comprehensive assay, the Todai OncoPanel (TOP), which consists of DNA and RNA hybridization capture-based next-generation sequencing panels. A novel method for target enrichment, named the junction capture method, was developed for the RNA panel to accurately and cost-effectively detect 365 fusion genes as well as aberrantly spliced transcripts. The TOP RNA panel can also measure the expression profiles of an additional 109 genes. The TOP DNA panel was developed to detect single nucleotide variants and insertions/deletions for 464 genes, to calculate tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability status, and to infer chromosomal copy number. Clinically relevant somatic mutations were identified in 32.2% (59/183) of patients by prospective TOP testing, signifying the clinical utility of TOP for providing personalized medicine to cancer patients..

Metachronous multifocal lesion or local recurrence?, Surgery (United States), 10.1016/j.surg.2018.10.025, 165, 4, 767-774, 2019.04, Background: It is difficult to determine whether a second high-risk lesion, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm, is a metachronous multifocal lesion or represents local recurrence after resection of the first high-risk lesion. This study attempts to clarify the characteristics of second high-risk lesions in the remnant pancreas using genetic analyses. Methods: Clinicopathologic data were collected from 12 patients who underwent pancreatectomy for a second high-risk lesion in the remnant pancreas. We performed mutational and immunohistochemical analyses of 4 major genes—KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, and SMAD4—associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression, as well as targeted next-generation sequencing. Results: Mutations in the four genes in the second high-risk lesion were consistent with the first lesion in four patients but were inconsistent in the remaining eight patients, and thus we considered that the latter eight patients likely had metachronous multifocal high-risk lesions and the other four patients had local recurrence. The estimated cumulative recurrence rate after resection of the second high-risk lesion was greater in the local recurrence group compared with the metachronous multifocal group, and the estimated cumulative disease-specific survival rate was greater in the metachronous multifocal group. Targeted next-generation sequencing demonstrated that the second lesions in the metachronous multifocal high-risk lesion group showed differences in founder mutations compared with the first lesion. In the local recurrence group, the founder mutations in the second lesion were common with those in the first lesion. Conclusion: Genetic assessment might help discriminate metachronous multifocal high-risk lesions from local recurrence..

Loss of BRCA-associated protein 1 (BAP1) protein expression as detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and homozygous deletion (HD) of the 9p21 locus as detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) permits differentiation of MPM from reactive mesothelial hyperplasia (RMH). We have previously reported that detecting the loss of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) using IHC is a surrogate assay for 9p21 FISH. Furthermore, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), which encodes a component of polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC-2), has been overexpressed in various tumors as well as MPM. In the current study, we investigated whether EZH2 IHC assay, alone or in combination with BAP1 and MTAP IHC, is useful for distinguishing MPM from RMH. Materials and methods: We examined IHC expression of EZH2, BAP1, and MTAP, and 9p21 FISH in MPM (n = 38) and RMH (n = 29) and analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of each detection assay for distinguishing MPM from RMH. Results and conclusion: EZH2, BAP1, and MTAP IHC, and 9p21 FISH were characterized by a 100% specificity each and 44.7%, 52.6%, 47.4%, and 65.8% sensitivities, respectively. A combination of EZH2 and BAP1 IHC, and 9p21 FISH showed the greatest sensitivity (89.5%). Using IHC alone (EZH2, BAP1, and MTAP IHC) also yielded a good sensitivity of 86.9%; this level is high enough for routine diagnostics. There were no statistically significant associations between expression of EZH2 and that of other markers (BAP1 and MTAP IHC) or 9p21 HD. However, a high expression level of EZH2 was significantly associated with short survival (P = 0.025). In conclusion, adding a high expression level of EZH2 to a combination of BAP1 and MTAP loss, all detected by IHC, demonstrated useful for discriminating MPM from RMH..

Here, we investigated the roles of adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) in desmoplastic lesions and tumor progression by in vitro and in vivo experiments. In a three-dimensional (3-D) organotypic fat invasion model using visceral fat from CAG-EGFP mice, GFP-positive fibroblastic cells infiltrated toward cancer cells. When tumor cells were inoculated into transplanted visceral fat pads in vivo, tumor weights and stromal components were enhanced compared to subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor cells inoculated without fat pads. Expression of αSMA in established human ASCs was lower compared to cancer associated fibroblasts, and the 3-D collagen matrices produced by ASCs cultured in cancer cell-conditioned medium changed from loose to dense structures that affected the motility of cancer cells. Microarray analyses revealed upregulation of S100A4 in ASCs, while S100A4-positive stromal cells were observed at extrapancreatic invasion sites of human pancreatic cancer. The present findings indicate that ASCs are recruited to extrapancreatic invasion sites and produce dense collagen matrices that lead to enhanced tumor progression. Both inhibition of ASCs recruitment and activation could lead to a novel antistromal therapy..

A characteristic of pancreatic cancer is the presence of desmoplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and cancer-associated acinar atrophy (CAA) within the invasive front. CAA is characterized by a high frequency of small ducts and resembles acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM). However, the clinical significance of changes in acinar morphology, such as ADM with acinar atrophy, within the tumor microenvironment remains unclear. Here, we find that ADM within the invasive front of tumors is associated with cell invasion and desmoplasia in an orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic cancer. An analysis of resected human tumors revealed that regions of cancer-associated ADM were positive for TGFα and that this TGFα expression was associated with primary tumor size and shorter survival times. Gene expression analysis identified distinct phenotypic profiles for cancer-associated ADM, sporadic ADM and chronic pancreatitis ADM. These findings suggest that the mechanisms driving ADM differ according to the specific tissue microenvironment and that cancer-associated ADM and acinar atrophy contribute to tumor cell invasion of the local pancreatic parenchyma..

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a highly tumor-specific antigen, and the overexpression of GPC3 was reported in many pediatric and adult malignancies. In the present study, we investigated the GPC3 expression in pediatric malignant small round cell tumors to assess its role in the differential diagnosis of the tumors. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of GPC3 in samples from 84 rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs; 44 alveolar and 40 embryonal RMSs), 62 Ewing sarcomas (EWSs), 35 neuroblastomas (NBs) and two desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCTs). We performed a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction for GPC3 to determine the GPC3 mRNA expression in samples from 66 frozen tumors (23 RMSs, 28 EWSs and 15 NBs). The serum expression levels of GPC3 were analyzed in pre-operative blood samples from two RMS and eight NB patients. In total, 25% (21/84) of the RMSs and 3% (1/35) of the NBs exhibited a focal expression of GPC3, whereas, the other specimens showed no GPC3 expression. The GPC3 mRNA expression level of the RMSs with positive GPC3 expression (n=6) was significantly higher compared with the RMSs without such expression (n=17). A total of two cases of NB showed high serum levels of GPC3, but neither tumor showed immunoreactivity for GPC3. The immunohistochemical overexpression of GPC3 may be a candidate ancillary parameter in the differential diagnosis of RMS from EWS and DSRCT..

Here we investigated the diagnostic value of HuC/D in neuroblastomas. We evaluated 85 neuroblastic tumors: 81 neuroblastomas; 3 ganglioneuroblastomas, intermixed; 1 ganglioneuroma, maturing; and 101 other tumors consisting of 34 Ewing sarcomas, 14 nephroblastomas, 11 rhabdomyosarcomas, 15 pulmonary small cell carcinomas, 18 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and 9 pheochromocytomas. Immunohistochemistry for HuC/D, PHOX2B, and tyrosine hydroxylase was performed. The immunoreactivity for HuC/D was semiquantified using the total score (TS; range, 0-8). HuC/D positivity was defined as a TS ≥6. The TS of the neuroblastic tumors (mean TS, 7.94) was significantly higher than those of the other small round cell tumors and neuroendocrine tumors (P

However, roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in odontomas or odontogenic cells are unclear. Herein, we investigated β-catenin expression in odontomas and functions of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in tooth germ development. β-catenin frequently accumulated in nucleus and/or cellular cytoplasm of odontogenic epithelial cells in human odontoma specimens, immunohistochemically. Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibited odontogenic epithelial cell proliferation in both cell line and tooth germ development, while inducing immature epithelial bud formation. We identified Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) as a downstream molecule of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and showed that Wnt/β-catenin signaling-dependent reduction of Sema3A expression resulted in suppressed odontogenic epithelial cell proliferation. Sema3A expression is required in appropriate epithelial budding morphogenesis. These results suggest that Wnt/β-catenin signaling negatively regulates odontogenic epithelial cell proliferation and tooth germ development through decreased-Sema3A expression, and aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling may associate with odontoma formation..

Recently, EZH2 was shown to control mechanisms of adaptive resistance to immunotherapy in melanoma; however, the association between EZH2 and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), which reflects the tumor microenvironment, remains poorly understood. Methods: A total of 428 patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed for their EZH2 and PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry and evaluated to determine the association between the EZH2 and PD-L1 expression. Results: Among 428 patients, the EZH2 expression was identified in 219 (51.2%) patients, while the PD-L1 expression was observed in 88 (20.6%) patients. The recurrence-free and overall survival were significantly shorter in patients with the EZH2 expression than in those without it. A multivariate analysis showed that EZH2 remained an independent prognosticator for recurrence-free and overall survival. Patients with the EZH2-positive lung adenocarcinoma exhibited a significantly higher expression of PD-L1 than did those without it. A logistic regression analysis with backward elimination revealed that the presence of lymphatic and vessel invasion and PD-L1 positivity were independently associated with the EZH2 expression, while age over 70 years, the presence of vessel invasion, wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor, and EZH2 positivity were significantly associated with the PD-L1 expression. Conclusions: EZH2-expressing lung adenocarcinomas were shown to express the PD-L1 protein more frequently than were nonexpressing lesions. This study provides the first evidence of a possible association between the EZH2 and PD-L1 expression in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma..

Potential targets of novel combination therapy, Lung Cancer, 10.1016/j.lungcan.2018.12.008, 128, 26-32, 2019.02, Objectives: Combination therapy with an inhibitor of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and an agent targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is expected to be a novel and effective treatment option for various solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, it is important to elucidate the clinical and pathological features of tumors with IDO1/PD-L1 co-expression and the association between IDO1/PD-L1 co-expression and efficacy of combination therapy in NSCLC patients. In this study, we examined the prognostic impact of IDO1/PD-L1 co-expression and its relationship with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in primary lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Materials and methods: The expression levels of IDO1, PD-L1, Ki-67, cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), CD4, and CD8 in 202 patients with surgically resected primary lung SCC were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results: Among 202 patients, 176 (87.1%) were positive for IDO1 expression, 106 (52.5%) were positive for PD-L1 expression, and 99 (49.0%) showed co-expression of IDO1/PD-L1 proteins. Fisher's exact test showed a significant association between IDO1 and PD-L1 tumor proportion scores (P = 0.0011). Kaplan–Meier curve showed that PD-L1 alone and co-expression of IDO1 and PD-L1 were significantly associated with shorter overall survival, but IDO1 alone was not (log rank test: P = 0.0122, P = 0.0303 and P = 0.5168, respectively). The Ki-67 labeling index was significantly higher in patients with co-expression of IDO1 and PD-L1 than in patients without co-expression (Student's t-test: P = 0.0005). Moreover, IDO1/PD-L1 co-expression was significantly associated with high CD3, CD4, and CD8 expression (Fisher's exact test: P = 0.0033, P = 0.0003, and P

Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) has been widely accepted as systemic chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer and reportedly results in remarkable tumor shrinkage. This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using neoadjuvant GnP for BRPC. Methods: The medical records of 57 patients who underwent treatment of BRPC from 2010 to 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patient characteristics and short- and intermediate-term outcomes were compared between the GnP and upfront surgery (UFS) groups. Results: The GnP group comprised 31 patients and the UFS group comprised 26 patients. The patient characteristics were comparable with the exception of a higher prevalence of arterial involvement in the GnP group. Twenty-seven of the 31 patients (87%) in the GnP group and all 26 patients in the UFS group underwent resection. The GnP group showed a significantly shorter operation time (429 vs. 509.5 min, p = 0.0068), less blood loss (760 vs. 1324 ml, p = 0.0115), and a higher R0 resection rate (100% vs. 77%, p = 0.0100) than the UFS group. Postoperative complications and hospital stay were comparable between the two groups, and no treatment-related mortality occurred in either group. Both the disease-free survival and overall survival times were significantly longer in the GnP group (p = 0.0018 and p = 0.0024, respectively). Conclusions: Neoadjuvant GnP is a safe and effective treatment strategy for BRPC. It potentially improves patients’ prognosis and facilitates surgical procedures..

However, previous clinical trials have suggested that other programmed cell death 1 ligands, including programmed death-ligand 2 (PD-L2), might have clinical impacts. This study aimed to analyze the prognostic significance of PD-L2 expression in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Methods: The study included 433 patients who underwent surgical resection for lung adenocarcinoma between 2003 and 2012 at Kyushu University Hospital. Both PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The cutoff value for PD-L2 positivity was set at 1% according to a time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve for 5-year survival. Results: Of the 433 patients, 306 (70.7%) were positive for PD-L2. No significant association between PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression was observed (P = 0.094). The multivariate analysis showed that the independent predictors of PD-L2 positivity were never-smoker status (P = 0.002), poor differentiation grade (P = 0.008), and advanced stage (P = 0.048). The PD-L2-positive patients had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (P = 0.018) and overall survival (OS) (P = 0.016). Both PD-L1 and PD-L2 positivity were independent predictors of OS (P

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 43 eyes in 39 patients who underwent vitrectomy for definitive histological diagnosis of VRL with vitrectomy cell block technique and/or smear preparation at Kyushu University Hospital from January 2001 to March 2016. The association of detection of atypical lymphoid cells using vitrectomy cell block technique with the following factors was assessed using logistic regression analysis: age at diagnosis, sex, presence or absence of concurrent cataract surgery with vitrectomy, clinical grading of vitreous haze, presence or absence of subretinal tumor infiltration, interval between initial symptoms and vitrectomy, and presence or absence of systemic corticosteroid therapy before vitrectomy. Results: Atypical lymphoid cells were more significantly detected using vitrectomy cell block technique compared to that using smear preparation (p = 0.018). After adjusting for age and sex, concurrent cataract surgery (odds ratio [OR], 10.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42–76.41) and subretinal tumor infiltration (OR, 5.06; 95% CI, 1.06–24.32) were significantly associated with failure of histological analysis with vitrectomy cell blocks. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, similar results were obtained, although subretinal tumor infiltration was only marginally associated with the detective capability of the technique. Conclusion: Vitrectomy cell block technique significantly improved the definitive diagnosis of VRL. Concurrent cataract surgery with vitrectomy and subretinal tumor infiltration were risk factors for failure in vitrectomy cell blocks..

CD8 + and forkhead box protein P3 + (FoxP3 +) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) influence the tumor microenvironment, but the clinical significance of CD8 + and FoxP3 + TILs in stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) is poorly understood. Methods: We analyzed 203 patients with stage IA primary LAD who had undergone surgery at Kyushu University from January 2003 to December 2012. We evaluated CD8 + and FoxP3 + TILs by immunohistochemistry. We set the cutoff values at 50 cells/0.04 mm2 for CD8 + TILs and 20 cells/0.04 mm2 for FoxP3 + TILs, respectively. We divided the patients into four groups: CD8-Low/FoxP3-Low; CD8-High/FoxP3-Low; CD8-Low/FoxP3-High; and CD8-High/FoxP3-High. We compared clinical outcomes among them. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression by tumor cells was also evaluated as previously reported. Results: Respectively, 104 (51.2%), 46 (22.7%), 22 (10.8%), and 31 (15.3%) patients were classified as CD8-Low/FoxP3-Low, CD8-High/FoxP3-Low, CD8-Low/FoxP3-High, and CD8-High/FoxP3-High. Both disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly worse in the CD8-Low/FoxP3-High group than the other groups (5-year DFS: 66.3% vs. 90.5%; P = 0.0007, 5-year OS: 90.9% vs. 97.0%; P = 0.0077). In the multivariate analysis, CD8-Low/FoxP3-High and PD-L1 expression were independent prognostic factors of DFS, and lymphatic invasion, surgical procedure, and PD-L1 expression were independent prognostic factors of OS. Conclusions: CD8-Low/FoxP3-High was an independent prognostic factor of DFS (hazard ratio: 3.22; 95% confidence interval: 1.321–7.179; P = 0.0121) in stage IA LAD. Immunosuppressive conditions were associated with poor prognosis in stage IA LAD..

We recently developed a novel non-transmissible and non-integrating measles virus (MV) vector capable of transferring multiple genes simultaneously into a wide range of cells through the CD46 and CD150 receptors. The MV vector expresses four genes for iPSC generation and the GFP gene for a period of time sufficient to establish iPSCs from human fibroblasts as well as peripheral blood T cells. The transgenes were expressed differentially depending on their gene order in the vector. Human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells were directly and efficiently reprogrammed to naive-like cells that could proliferate and differentiate into primed iPSCs by the same method used to establish primed iPSCs from other cell types. The novel MV vector has several advantages for establishing iPSCs and potential future applications in gene therapy. This new non-transmissible and non-integrating measles virus vector, which can transfer multiple genes simultaneously into a wide range of cells through the CD46 and CD150 receptors and induce primed or naive-like pluripotent stem cells from hematopoietic cells in the same condition, will definitely contribute to the gene and cell therapy..

In situ visualization of platinum via synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, International Journal of Cancer, 10.1002/ijc.32592, 2019.01, Oxaliplatin (l-OHP), a platinum-based drug, is a key chemotherapeutic agent for colorectal cancer (CRC), but drug resistance and toxic effects have been major limitations of its use. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (SR-XRF) is a rapid, nondestructive technique for monitoring the distribution of metals and trace elements in cells or tissue samples. We applied SR-XRF to visualize the distribution of platinum and other elements in 30 rectal cancer specimens resected from patients who received l-OHP-based preoperative chemotherapy and quantified platinum concentration in the tumor epithelium and stroma, respectively, using calibration curves. The platinum concentration in rectal cancer tissue ranged 2.85–11.44 ppm, and the detection limit of platinum was 1.848 ppm. In the tumor epithelium, the platinum concentration was significantly higher in areas of degeneration caused by chemotherapy than in nondegenerated area (p

10-year experience of a single institute, Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, 10.1111/ajco.13286, 2019.01, Aim: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is a highly aggressive and lethal disease. This malignancy remains the most common type of uterine sarcoma, affecting approximately 0.4/100 000 women each year. Our aim was to assess the treatment and prognosis of ULMS patients. Methods: A total of 14 patients were treated at our institution between January 2008 and July 2017. We retrospectively analyzed their clinicopathological variables, treatment and prognosis. Results: The median patient age was 63 years (range, 35–83 years). The largest group of patients had stage IB disease (stage IB, n = 8; IIB, n = 2; IIIB, n = 1; IVB, n = 3) and the largest group by histological subtype was ordinary (ordinary, n = 11; myxoid, n = 2; epithelioid, n = 1). Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed for all patients, with additional surgical procedures (e.g., tumor resection, lymphadenectomy) performed if necessary. Twelve patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) consisting of gemcitabine and docetaxel. Ten patients experienced recurrence and received multidisciplinary therapies, including tumor resection, chemotherapy, radiation and targeted therapies. The median observation period was 17 months (range, 5–75 months), and 11 patients were alive (without disease, n = 5; with disease, n = 6). Intriguingly, five of eight stage IB patients who received postoperative ACT were alive without disease. Conclusion: ULMS is rare but is associated with a poor prognosis, even if multidisciplinary therapies are administered. However, ACT appears to be effective in improving the prognosis of patients with stage IB disease..

Klimstra, Sclerosing epithelioid mesenchymal neoplasm of the pancreas – a proposed new entity, Modern Pathology, 10.1038/s41379-019-0334-5, 2019.01, We have encountered pancreatic tumors with unique histologic features, which do not conform to any of the known tumors of the pancreas or other anatomical sites. We aimed to define their clinicopathologic features and whether they are characterized by recurrent molecular signatures. Eight cases were identified; studied histologically and by immunohistochemistry. Selected cases were also subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES; n = 4), RNA-sequencing (n = 6), Archer FusionPlex assay (n = 5), methylation profiling using the Illumina MethylationEPIC (850k) array platform (n = 6), and TERT promoter sequencing (n = 5). Six neoplasms occurred in females. The mean age was 43 years (range: 26–75). Five occurred in the head/neck of the pancreas. All patients were treated surgically; none received neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. All patients are free of disease after 53 months of median follow-up (range: 8–94). The tumors were well-circumscribed, and the median size was 1.8 cm (range: 1.3–5.8). Microscopically, the unencapsulated tumors had a geographic pattern of epithelioid cell nests alternating with spindle cell fascicles. Some areas showed dense fibrosis, in which enmeshed tumor cells imparted a slit-like pattern. The predominant epithelioid cells had scant cytoplasm and round-oval nuclei with open chromatin. The spindle cells displayed irregular, hyperchromatic nuclei. Mitoses were rare. No lymph node metastases were identified. All tumors were positive for vimentin, CD99 and cytokeratin (patchy), while negative for markers of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, neuroendocrine, acinar, myogenic/rhabdoid, vascular, melanocytic, or lymphoid differentiation, gastrointestinal stromal tumor as well as MUC4. Whole-exome sequencing revealed no recurrent somatic mutations or amplifications/homozygous deletions in any known oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. RNA-sequencing and the Archer FusionPlex assay did not detect any recurrent likely pathogenic gene fusions. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis revealed that these tumors display a likely mesenchymal transcriptomic program. Unsupervised analysis (t-SNE) of their methylation profiles against a set of different mesenchymal neoplasms demonstrated a distinct methylation pattern. Here, we describe pancreatic neoplasms with unique morphologic/immunophenotypic features and a distinct methylation pattern, along with a lack of abnormalities in any of key genetic drivers, supporting that these neoplasms represent a novel entity with an indolent clinical course. Given their mesenchymal transcriptomic features, we propose the designation of “sclerosing epithelioid mesenchymal neoplasm” of the pancreas..

A case report, International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 10.1016/j.ijscr.2019.09.031, 64, 31-34, 2019, Background: Retroperitoneal schwannomas are rare. Case presentation: We here report a case of 64-year-old woman who was referred to her local hospital for abdominal pain and found to have a palpable tumor. Computed tomography (CT) and colonoscopy revealed a combination of liver and colon lesions and colon cancer with a large liver metastasis was suspected. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy had proved ineffective for her presumed liver metastasis, the patient was referred to our hospital where we performed a simultaneous right hemicolectomy and extended left hepatic lobectomy. The pathological diagnoses were a colonic adenocarcinoma and retroperitoneal schwannoma immediately adjacent to the liver. Conclusions: Although liver metastasis should be the first provisional diagnosis in patients with advanced colon cancer, retroperitoneal schwannoma should also be suspected in the differential diagnosis of possible liver lesions..

Rubin, Toshimitsu Suzuki, A Case of Undifferentiated Sarcoma in the Superior Vena Cava and Bilateral Cervical Veins, The American journal of case reports, 10.12659/AJCR.911659, 19, 1507-1514, 2018.12, BACKGROUND Intimal sarcoma (IS) is a malignant mesenchymal tumor with predominantly intraluminal growth in large vessels and the heart. Due to the rarity of cases it often poses diagnostic problems in clinical and pathological settings. Although the classification of IS is still controversial, undifferentiated type of IS has recently been found to show immunohistochemical positivity with MDM2, CDK4, or PDGFRA and amplification of MDM2/CDK4 and PDGFRA. CASE REPORT The patient was a 76 years-old Japanese man who presented with superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. CT identified a tumor or thrombi in the SVC, bilateral brachiocephalic, and jugular veins. The histology of the biopsy specimen revealed an undifferentiated tumor without immunohistochemical positivity for all antibodies available except vimentin and smooth muscle actin. He was treated conservatively and died of respiratory failure 2 months after presentation. At autopsy, the large veins were filled by a sausage-like tumor and the cut sections revealed hemorrhagic and necrotic tumor. The tumor cells were negative with MDM2, CDK4, and PDGFRA by immunohistochemistry. Amplification of MDM2 and PDGFRA was not identified by fluorescence in-situ hybridization. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that the case was an undifferentiated sarcoma (IS without any specific phenotype) arising in the SVC, bilateral brachiocephalic, and jugular veins. We propose a way of subtyping sarcomas with predominantly intraluminal growth in large vessels and the heart based on immunohistochemistry and amplification of MDM2 and PDGFRA. However, proper subtyping of these sarcomas requires further study..

Daisuke Taniguchi, Hiroshi Saeki, Yuichiro Nakashima, Kensuke Kudou, Ryota Nakanishi, Nobuhide Kubo, Kouji Andou, Eiji Oki, Yoshinao Oda, Yoshihiko Maehara, CD44v9 is associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition and poor outcomes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, Cancer Medicine, 10.1002/cam4.1874, 7, 12, 6258-6268, 2018.12, CD44 serves as a marker of cancer stem cells. Alternative splicing generates the CD44v9 isoform. Cancer stem cells are associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancers, although little is known about their role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we aimed to clarify the relationship between CD44v9 expression, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and clinicopathological features of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. CD44v9 levels were higher at the tumor invasive front compared with the center of the tumor and higher in metastatic lymph nodes compared with primary tumors. High levels of CD44v9 at the tumor invasive front were significantly associated with deeper tumor invasion and shorter overall survival and recurrence-free survival. The expression of CD44v9 was increased by treatment with transforming growth factor-β, which induced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells to undergo the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Moreover, inhibition of CD44v9 expression decreased the migration and invasiveness of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells. These results indicate that the expression of CD44v9 at the tumor invasive front induced by stemness was strongly associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and poor prognosis of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. CD44v9 may therefore serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma..

This study aimed to elucidate the differences in PD-L1 expression on tumor cells (TCs) and ICs between lung metastases and corresponding primary tumors. Methods: We analyzed paired lesions from 44 patients diagnosed with lung metastases between 2005 and 2017 at Kyushu University. The percentages of PD-L1-positive TCs and ICs in lung metastases and the primary tumor were classified into five categories (0:

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of nutritional and immunological factors in predicting survival of patients with PDAC. Methods: Retrospective studies of 329 patients who underwent surgical resection for PDAC and 95 patients who underwent palliative surgery were separately conducted to investigate the prognostic impact of tumor-related factors and patient-related factors, including Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified GPS, Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio. Results: In multivariate analysis for patients with surgical resection for PDAC, PNI was an independent factor for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival. The median OS of patients with PNI ≤ 45 was significantly shorter than that of patients with PNI > 45 (17.5 and 36.2 months, respectively; p 5 was significantly shorter than that of patients with NLR ≤ 5 (2.7 and 8.9 months, respectively; p

Methods: A total of 139 patients who underwent SNNS using 99mTc phytate between 2009 and 2015 were evaluated. No further lymph node dissection was performed when intraoperative analysis of the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) was negative for metastasis. We compared the surgical complications between the SNNS group and 67 matched patients who underwent pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) after SLN mapping between 2003 and 2008. We also examined the clinical outcomes in the SNNS group. Results: The mean number of detected SLNs was 2.5 per patient. Fourteen of the 139 patients in the SNNS group underwent PLND based on the intraoperative SLN results. The amount of blood loss, the operative time, and the number of perioperative complications were significantly less in the SNNS group than in the matched PLND group. There was no recurrence during a follow-up period ranging from 2 to 88 months (median 40 months) in the SNNS group. Conclusions: Using SNNS for early-stage cervical cancer is safe and effective and does not increase the recurrence rate. A future multicenter trial is warranted..

Pancreatic ASC can show salivary gland-type MEC-like morphology. CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene is a characteristic molecular feature of MEC of the salivary gland. We conducted this study to clarify whether the pancreatic ASC with salivary gland-type MEC-like morphology (Pan-MEC) is a pancreatic counterpart of salivary gland-type MEC (Sal-MEC). We retrospectively analyzed 37 pancreatic ASCs including 16 Pan-MECs and 21 tumors without MEC-like features (ASC-NOS [not otherwise specified]), and we investigated (1) clinicopathologic features, (2) the presence of CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, (3) the presence of rearrangement of MAML2 gene by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and (4) mucin core proteins by immunohistochemistry. We also compared 16 Pan-MECs with 20 Sal-MECs by immunohistochemistry for mucin core protein. There were no significant differences of any clinicopathologic characteristics and survival analysis between the Pan-MECs and ASCs-NOS. Of note, the pancreatic ASCs (including Pan-MEC and ASC-NOS) were significantly more aggressive than conventional pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. In addition, all Pan-MECs were histologically high-grade. CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene and MAML2 gene rearrangement were not detected in any ASCs including Pan-MECs. There were significant differences of MUC5AC and MUC6 between the Pan-MECs and Sal-MECs, but no significant differences of mucin core protein between the Pan-MECs and pancreatic ASCs-NOS. Pan-MEC is histologically and biologically high-grade and unrelated to CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene, unlike Sal-MEC which is related to CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene. Pan-MEC is not a pancreatic counterpart of CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene-related Sal-MEC..

This study examined the effect of low BUBR1 expression on eNOS expression in vivo, in vitro, and human gastric cancer tissues. Materials and Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were passaged to investigate the effect of aging on BUBR1 and eNOS expression; expression of eNOS and phospho-eNOS protein was assessed in BUBR1 siRNAtransfected HUVECs. Additionally, guanosine 3′,5′ cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and eNOS protein levels were measured in BUBR1-insufficient mice (Bubr1L/-). BUBR1 and eNOS expression levels were also evaluated in human gastric cancer tissues. Results: BUBR1 and eNOS, but not p-eNOS, levels were reduced significantly in aged and BUBR1 siRNAtransfected HUVECs. Additionally, cGMP production and the eNOS protein level were reduced in Bubr1L/- mice. Human gastric cancer tissues with low BUBR1 expression showed no eNOS expression. Conclusion: A decrease in BUBR1 reduced eNOS bioavailability through a pathway other than eNOS phosphorylation..

A single-institution retrospective study, In Vivo, 10.21873/invivo.11412, 32, 6, 1541-1550, 2018.11, Aim: Programmed cell death-ligand 1 and 2 (PD-L1 and PD-L2) are ligands of the programmed cell death- 1 (PD1) receptor. PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown clinical efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, relatively little is known about the expression of PD-L2, or its association with the clinicopathological features of NSCLC. Here, the radiological features of PD-L2-positive lung adenocarcinoma were evaluated. Materials and Methods: PDL1 and PD-L2 expression were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of surgically-resected specimens from 393 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative thin-section computed tomography (CT), 222 of whom also underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/CT (18F-FDG-PET/CT). Results: Among the 393 specimens, 132 (33.6%) and 266 (67.7%) were positive for PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the absence of surrounding ground glass opacity and the presence of air bronchogram were significantly associated with PD-L2 expression; however, there was no significant association between PD-L2 expression and the consolidation/tumor ratio. In 222 18F-FDG-PET/CT, the maximum standardized uptake value was significantly higher in patients with PD-L2-positive compared to those with PD-L2-negative tumors. Conclusion: PD-L2-positive lung adenocarcinomas are less radiologically malignant and invasive than their PD-L1-positive counterparts..

A rare oncologic emergency case report in infancy and literature review, Brain and Development, 10.1016/j.braindev.2018.05.016, 40, 10, 952-955, 2018.11, Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a clonal disease with focal or disseminated lesions that may compress the surrounding tissues, including the spinal cord. Because few reports have described the spinal symptoms as the first manifestation of pediatric LCH, the long-term neurological outcomes remain unclear. Case report and literature review: We report a 21-month-old boy who presented with sudden-onset paraplegia. Imaging analyses revealed that osteolytic lesions and epidural tumors compressing the spinal cord at the T7-9 vertebrae. Twelve days after he developed leg weakness, emergency radiotherapy was started after a tumor biopsy. During the course of radiotherapy, paralysis steadily ameliorated. After we excluded infections and determined the pathological diagnosis of LCH, multi-drug chemotherapy was started. Apparent improvement in his complete paraplegia was observed after a total 15 Gy of radiotherapy and subsequent chemotherapy, leaving no neurological sequelae at 4 years of age. Through a literature search of studies published from 1980 to 2017, we found that children with LCH showed a generally favorable recovery from neurological dysfunction after the acute phase of spinal symptoms. Conclusion: This report underscores the utility of emergency radiotherapy for the neurological recovery of spinal LCH in infants. Our long-term observation further denotes the value of this treatment in terms of the intact survival with preserved motor functions and physical growth..

However, a large incision is needed to remove large tumors from the thoracic cavity. And, for intrapulmonary sequestration in lower lobe, it sometimes needs a large incision to ligate the aberrant vessels. A muscle-sparing axillar skin crease incision (MSASCI) has been introduced for thoracic open surgery, resulting in excellent aesthetic outcomes compared with a standard incision. We herein report the utility of this MSASCI technique in thoracoscopic surgery to remove large tumors from the thoracic cavity and to ligate the aberrant vessels in intrapulmonary sequestration in lower lobe. Materials and Methods: From 2014 April to 2016 March, we performed the MSASCI technique in thoracoscopic surgeries for 5 children. Result: Five cases were diagnosed as mediastinal masses (mature teratoma for 1 case, ganglioneuroblastoma for 2 cases, and extrapulmonary sequestration and intrapulmonary sequestration for 1 case each). The age at surgery was 32.0 ± 25.0 months (range 5-58 months). The size of the mediastinal mass was 9 × 5 × 5 cm, 4 × 3 × 3 cm, 5 × 5 × 2.5 cm, and 3 × 2.5 × 2 cm. For 4 other cases, except for the intrapulmonary sequestration case, the mass was resected under thoracoscopic surgery using only three or four 5-mm trocars and the mass was removed from the thoracic cavity using the MSASCI technique. For the intrapulmonary sequestration case, the aberrant vessels were resected under thoracoscopic surgery using only two 5-mm and one 12-mm trocars and the left lower lobectomy was performed using the MSASCI technique. All lesions were resected completely. No cases had surgical complications, none showed recurrence, and all cases demonstrated good cosmetic outcomes. Conclusions: Performing thoracoscopic surgery using a MSASCI technique is associated with good cosmetic outcome..

We investigated 124 breast cancer patients with a high risk of BRCA mutations, who had early-onset or triple-negative breast cancer. No correlation was found between BRCAness and family history. However, those with a BRCAness tumor and a positive family history had a significantly worse prognosis, which could be of use in predicting the prognosis. Background: The inexpensive prediction of the characteristics of BRCA-mutated breast cancer as “BRCAness” using the somatic cells of patients with breast cancer could be useful for developing a therapeutic strategy. Our objective was to correlate BRCAness with the clinicopathologic features, including a family history (FH) of cancer, in breast cancer patients with a high risk of BRCA mutations. Patients and Methods: The present study included 124 patients, including 55 with early-onset and 77 with triple-negative breast cancer, who had undergone resection at Kyushu University Hospital from 2005 to 2014. Early-onset breast cancer is defined as an onset in patients aged ≤ 40 years. BRCAness was performed using multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification. The patients’ FH of cancer was surveyed from first- to third-degree relatives. Results: Of the 124 patients, the multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification assay results indicated that 59 tumors (47.6%) had BRCAness and 27 patients (21.8%) had a positive FH for cancer. The patients with BRCAness experienced significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with those without. Patients with FH had shorter RFS and OS compared to those without BRCAness. The patients were divided into those with and without BRCAness and those with and without a positive FH. The BRCAness with FH subgroup experienced significantly shorter RFS and OS. Multivariate analysis revealed that BRCAness and a positive FH were independent negative prognostic factors. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that BRCAness tumors with a positive FH of cancer were associated with a poor prognosis in the BRCA-mutation high-risk group. We propose that BRCAness and a positive FH will serve to predict patients’ prognosis..

Methods: Information on STAS and preoperative CT was available in 327 patients with resected lung adenocarcinomas. STAS was defined as tumor cells within air spaces in the lung parenchyma beyond the edge of the main tumor. The association of STAS with CT characteristics, such as vascular convergence, ground-glass opacity (GGO), air bronchogram, notch, pleural indentation, spiculation, and cavitation, was analyzed. Results: Among the 327 patients with resected adenocarcinoma, 191 (58.4%) were positive for STAS. A univariable analysis demonstrated that STAS-positive adenocarcinomas were significantly associated with a larger radiologic tumor diameter (P =.02), the presence of vascular convergence (P <.01 notch pleural indentation spiculation and the absence of ggo compared with stas-negative ones. in a multivariable analysis presence were shown to be significantly associated stas phenomenon. odds ratio for notch-positive ggo-negative adenocarcinomas against notch-negative ggo-positive ones was conclusions: independently these results will prove helpful identifying stas-positive adenocarcinoma by ct before surgical resection.. id="gencho_ronbuns10069831" class="qir_handle_link">

Esophageal carcinosarcoma comprising 3 components is extremely rare and no reports have described therapeutic effects for this disease with metastasis. Patient concerns: A 76-year-old man with dysphagia presented to a local clinic. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a polypoid tumor in the middle esophagus and he was referred to our hospital. Diagnosis and Interventions: Thoracoscopic esophagectomy with super-extended (D3) nodal dissection and gastric tube reconstitution was performed, which resulted in carcinosarcoma comprising neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), SqCC, and sarcoma. Pathological stage was T1bN1M0 stage IIB according to the TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors-7th edition. The NEC component was observed in lymph node. At 47 days after surgery, lymph nodes, liver, and bone metastasis appeared, and tumor markers such as ProGRP and NSE were elevated. Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide (EP) adapted to NEC was performed. Outcomes: The patient showed complete response within 4 cycles of chemotherapy. However, the disease recurred 5.5 months after the final course of EP chemotherapy. Lessons: A therapeutic strategy based on assessment of which component caused metastasis might be important for metastatic carcinosarcoma comprising 3 components, although more accumulation of data about the efficacy of chemotherapy is necessary. Moreover, elucidation of the mechanisms underlying generation of carcinosarcoma is expected in the future..

Patients and Methods: Ten patients who had undergone curative lung resection and received the anti-PD-1 drugs for the recurrence were enrolled. The cut-off value for PD-L2 (antibody clone 176611) expression on tumor cells was set at 50%. Tumor response was evaluated according to immune-related response criteria. Results: Seven patients (70.0%) were positive for PD-L2. The response rates were 28.6% (2/7) and 33.3% (1/3) in patients with PD-L2-positive and PD-L2-negative NSCLC, respectively. Disease control was obtained in 2 patients despite the programmed cell deathligand 1 (PD-L1)-negativity (antibody clone 22C3: 0%, antibody clone SP142: 0%), and these tumors expressed PDL2 (=1%). Conclusion: PD-L2 expression may be a target of immunotherapy in patients with PD-L1-negative NSCLC..

The aim of the current study was to investigate the prognostic significance of PDL2 expression in patients with SCLC. Patients and Methods: Thirty-eight patients who underwent resection of SCLC were analyzed. A monoclonal anti-human PD-L1 antibody (clone SP142) and a monoclonal anti-human PDL2 antibody (clone 176611) were used as the primary antibodies. Cut-off value for PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression was set to 1%. Results: Among 38 patients, 15 (39.5%) were positive for PD-L2 expression. No significant associations between PD-L2-positivity and clinicopathological factors, including PD-L1 positivity or prognosis were identified. No significant differences in disease-free survival and overall survival were observed between PD-L2-positive patients and PD-L2-negative patients (p=0.367 and p=0.726, respectively). Conclusion: PD-L2 expression is not related to clinicopathological factors or postoperative prognosis in patients with SCLC, though this should be further investigated in studies involving larger populations..

a comparison with its counterparts in the kidney and soft tissue, Brain Pathology, 10.1111/bpa.12585, 28, 5, 710-720, 2018.09, Central nervous system high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with BCOR alteration (CNS HGNET-BCOR) are a recently reported rare entity, identified as a small fraction of tumors previously institutionally diagnosed as so-called CNS primitive neuroectodermal tumors. Their genetic characteristic is a somatic internal tandem duplication in the 3′ end of BCOR (BCOR ITD), which has also been found in clear cell sarcomas of the kidney (CCSK) and soft tissue undifferentiated round cell sarcomas/primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumors of infancy (URCS/PMMTI), and these BCOR ITD-positive tumors have been reported to share similar pathological features. In this study, we performed a clinicopathological and molecular analysis of six cases of CNS HGNET-BCOR, and compared them with their counterparts in the kidney and soft tissue. Although these tumors had histologically similar structural patterns and characteristic monotonous nuclei with fine chromatin, CNS HGNET-BCOR exhibited glial cell morphology, ependymoma-like perivascular pseudorosettes and palisading necrosis, whereas these features were not evident in CCSK or URCS/PMMTI. Immunohistochemically, diffuse staining of Olig2 with a mixture of varying degrees of intensity, and only focal staining of GFAP, S-100 protein and synaptophysin were observed in CNS HGNET-BCOR, whereas these common neuroepithelial markers were negative in CCSK and URCS/PMMTI. Therefore, although CNS HGNET-BCOR, CCSK and URCS/PMMTI may constitute a group of BCOR ITD-positive tumors, only CNS HGNET-BCOR has histological features suggestive of glial differentiation. In conclusion, we think CNS HGNET-BCOR are a certain type of neuroepithelial tumor relatively close to glioma, not CCSK or URCS/PMMTI occurring in the CNS..

Here, we investigated the relationship between IDO1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma and patient prognosis and clinicopathological features, including programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Materials and methods: In this study, surgically resected primary lung adenocarcinoma specimens from 427 patients were evaluated for IDO1 and PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry, and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were evaluated for IDO1 and PD-L1 protein expression by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry and for messenger RNA levels by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. Results: IDO1 was expressed in 260 patients (60.9%) at 1% cut-off and 63 patients (14.8%) at 50% cut-off. Tissues from 145 patients (34.0%) were positive for PD-L1 using the cut-off of 1%. Multivariate analysis showed that ≥1% IDO1 positivity was significantly associated with higher tumour grade, vascular invasion and PD-L1 expression. IDO1 and PD-L1 proteins were co-expressed in 123 patients (28.8%), and co-expressing tumours exhibited significantly more malignant traits than those positive for one or neither protein. In multivariate analysis, co-expression of IDO1 and PD-L1 was significantly associated with shorter disease-free survival and overall survival. Both proteins were upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines by treatment with interferon-γ and transforming growth factor-β. Conclusion: These results suggest that IDO1 and PD-L1 co-expression may define an aggressive form of lung adenocarcinoma..

A case report, Oncology Letters, 10.3892/ol.2018.9115, 16, 3, 3889-3894, 2018.09, Low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare intermediate tumor, which rarely metastasizes and has myofibroblastic differentiation in various sites. It is particularly associated with the tongue in the head and neck region. The lack of any pathological features means it is difficult to make a conclusive diagnosis of LGMS. The immunohistochemical features and genomic rearrangements, including SS18 SSXs and MYH9 USP6s and the genetic mutations of cancer associated genes, including APC, CTNNB1, EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA and p53 were examined in a case of LGMS arising in the tip of the tongue. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for alpha smooth muscle actin and vimentin, as in previous reports. They demonstrated neither genomic rearrangements nor point mutations of cancer associated genes. Although several tumor cells demonstrated intravascular invasion, the MIB l labeling index of the cells was the same as the original lesion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of LGMS arising in the tip of the tongue with intravascular invasion..

A retrospective single-institution study, Anticancer research, 10.21873/anticanres.12856, 38, 9, 5295-5303, 2018.09, Aim: A combination of immune-checkpoint inhibitors that target the programmed cell death 1 (PD1)/programmed cell-death ligand 1 (PDL1) pathway and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a promising treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer. Herein, we investigated clinical features of IDO1+/PDL1+ primary lung adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: IDO1 and PDL1 expression in 388 resected primary lung adenocarcinoma samples was evaluated using immunohistochemistry, and the radiological features of patients with IDO1+/PDL1+ lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed. Results: Of 388 specimens, 229 (59.0%) were IDO1+, 131 (33.8%) were PDL1+, and 109 (28.1%) were IDO1+/PDL1+. In multivariate analysis, vascular convergence and the absence of surrounding ground glass opacity were significantly associated with IDO1+/PDL1+ tumors. Fisher’s exact test showed high consolidation/tumor ratio was also significantly associated with IDO1+/PDL1+ tumors. Moreover, maximum standardized uptake in18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography was significantly higher in patients with IDO1+/PDL1+ tumors than in those with IDO1 or PDL1 tumors. Conclusion: IDO1/PDL1 co-expression was significantly related to radiological invasiveness and malignancy in lung adenocarcinoma. This study may help select patients likely to benefit from combination therapy using immune-checkpoint inhibitors..

A case report, Modern Rheumatology, 10.3109/14397595.2016.1173322, 28, 5, 906-910, 2018.09, We report a case of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) caused by a massive phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) of the acetabulum. A 68-year-old woman presented with progressive bone pain of the rib cage, and polyarthralgia and back pain for 3 years. She was diagnosed with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia because laboratory testing was remarkable for low serum phosphorus and a low level of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D. Three years later, her hip radiograph revealed an osteolytic lesion of the acetabulum. Magnetic resonance imaging of the acetabulum showed a massive lesion. Laboratory data showed hypophosphatemia and an elevated serum level of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23). Samples obtained with open biopsy showed a low-grade spindle cell neoplasm with FGF-23 positivity, identified by using immunohistochemical staining, confirming the diagnosis of a PMT mixed connective tissue variant. Curettage of the tumor was performed, and the defects were filled with bone allografts. The hip joint was reconstructed with total hip arthroplasty using a Muller support ring. To our knowledge, this report represents the first documented case of massive PMT of the acetabulum causing TIO..

Yuka Inoue, Nami Yamashita, Hiroyuki Kitao, Kimihiro Tanaka, Hiroshi Saeki, Eiji Oki, Yoshinao Oda, Eriko Tokunaga, Yoshihiko Maehara, Clinical Significance of the Wild Type p53-Induced Phosphatase 1 Expression in Invasive Breast Cancer, Clinical Breast Cancer, 10.1016/j.clbc.2017.11.008, 18, 4, e643-e650, 2018.08, The nuclear expression of wild type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1) protein was found to be positive in 21 patients (10.4%) out of 201 breast cancer patients in our study. The protein phosphatase magnesium dependent 1 delta DNA copy number was significantly correlated with Wip1 protein expression, which was positively correlated with p21 expression. Tumors with positive Wip1 expression and negative p21 expression showed the poorest prognosis of all tumors examined. Background: Wild type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1), encoded by the protein phosphatase magnesium dependent 1 delta (PPM1D), inhibits p53. PPM1D amplification has been reported in breast cancer. Breast cancer can sometimes develop without a tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation. In these cases, the p53 pathway might be disrupted by alternative mechanisms, and Wip1 is reported to be a key molecule involved. Materials and Methods: Primary invasive ductal carcinoma specimens were obtained from 201 cases, for which archival tissue samples for immunohistochemistry were available. We evaluated Wip1 and p21 protein expression (201 cases), Wip1 mRNA expression (63 cases), PPM1D DNA copy number (71 cases) and TP53 status (36 cases) using available samples among the 201 cases, and analyzed their relationships with clinicopathological factors and prognosis. Results: The nuclear expression of Wip1 protein was positive in 21 cases (10.4%). The PPM1D DNA copy number was significantly correlated with Wip1 protein expression. All cases with PPM1D amplification by single-nucleotide polymorphism comparative genomic hybridization array showed positive nuclear Wip1 expression. Wip1 protein expression was positively correlated with p21 expression. The tumors with positive Wip1 and negative p21 expression showed the poorest prognosis among all tumor types. Conclusion: The protein expression of Wip1 might be regulated by PPM1D amplification, independent of TP53 status. Positive Wip1 and negative p21 expression was associated with the poorest prognosis and suggests the loss of p53 function..

A needle biopsy for the liver tumors was performed, revealing a neuroendocrine tumor. Enucleation, lymphadenectomy, and partial hepatectomy were performed. The microscopic examination identified many tumor cells with intracytoplasmic inclusions arranged in a nested, cord, or tubular fashion. The intracytoplasmic inclusions displayed densely eosinophilic globules and displaced the nuclei toward the periphery, which constitutes “rhabdoid” features. The tumor cells were positive for synaptophysin and weakly positive for NCAM, but negative for chromogranin A. Epithelial markers (AE1/AE3 and CAM5.2) accentuated intracytoplasmic globules. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with rhabdoid features are very rare. Generally, rhabdoid features are aggressive and dedifferentiated characteristics of various types of tumor. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors containing rhabdoid cells tend to display extrapancreatic spread at the time of presentation, although some of these tumors with rhabdoid features are not always associated with aggressive behavior..

Yoshiteru Kumagae, Minako Hirahashi, Katsumi Takizawa, Hidetaka Yamamoto, Masaki Gushima, Motohiro Esaki, Takayuki Matsumoto, Masafumi Nakamura, Takanari Kitazono, Yoshinao Oda, Overexpression of mth1 and ogg1 proteins in ulcerative colitis-associated carcinogenesis, Oncology Letters, 10.3892/ol.2018.8812, 16, 2, 1765-1776, 2018.08, Oxidative stress, demonstrated by an accumulation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), results in DNA damage, which is normally repaired by base excision repair enzymes including 8-OHdG DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and human MutY homolog (MUTYH), in addition to nucleotide pool sanitizing enzymes including MutT Homolog 1 (MTH1). Abnormalities of this repair system are present in various cancer types. The present study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological significance of altered expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), 8-OHdG, OGG1, MTH1 and MUTYH in ulcerative colitis (UC) and UC-associated neoplasms. Immunohistochemical staining for these markers and p53 in 23 cases of UC-associated neoplasm (Group A, 14 carcinomas and nine dysplasias), 16 cases of UC without neoplasm (Group B) and 17 cases of normal colon specimens (Group C) was performed. Mutation analyses was conducted for KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (K-ras), tumor protein P53 (TP53) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP (+)) 1, cytosolic (IDH1) genes. Immunohistochemically, the iNOS, 8-OHdG, OGG1 and MTH1 expression levels were increased in Groups A and B compared with Group C. The OGG1 and MTH1 expression levels in Group A were also increased compared with Group B. Group A and Group B exhibited increased cytoplasmic expression and decreased nuclear expression of MUTYH compared with Group C. Mutations of K-ras and TP53 were detected in 2/21 (9.5%) and 10/22 (45.5%) cases of Group A, respectively. IDH1 mutation was not detected in any cases. These findings suggest that, as a response to oxidative damage, OGG1 and MTH1 may be upregulated in UC through an inflammatory condition that progresses to cancer formation. Persisting oxidative damage stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of UC-associated tumors..

Concurrently, macrohematuria portended the diagnosis of Wilms tumor. Postoperative chemotherapy has achieved complete remission despite a prolonged and reduced regimen due to liver dysfunction and convulsions. Cancer predisposition has been suggested for KS due to oncogenic mutations in KMT2D or KDM6A. The first case of nephroblastoma exemplified the treatability of malignancies in KS patients, as shown in the 9 cases reviewed. Active screening and intervention are recommended for the cure of malignancy in KS children..

Here we collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from a cancer patient with nivolumab-induced pneumonitis and isolated mononuclear cells for next-generation sequencing of the complementarity-determining region of the T cell receptor (TCR) β chain. Mononuclear cells in peritumoral pleural effusion isolated from the patient were similarly analyzed, and the results obtained for the two specimens were compared. A substantial number of TCRβ clones in BALF were also identified among lymphocytes in the peritumoral pleural effusion. Such a correlation was not apparent between TCRβ clones in BALF and those in peripheral blood. Moreover, many tumor-associated clones with a read frequency of =0.10% were also present in BALF. Our data suggest that irAEs might be induced by drugactivated lymphocytes originating from tumor tissue. Deep sequencing will thus be indispensable for investigations of the immune-based pathogenesis of, and the development of optimal treatments for, irAEs..

A propensity score-matched analysis, Cancer Medicine, 10.1002/cam4.1539, 7, 7, 2860-2867, 2018.07, The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between family-associated factors and the postoperative prognosis in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, we investigated whether having children was associated with the postoperative maintenance of the nutritional status. We selected 438 NSCLC patients who had undergone curative lung resection between 2004 and 2011 at Kyushu University (Fukuoka, Japan), whose family-associated factors were available. Nutritional indices, including the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), were used to estimate the change in the nutritional status for 1 year after surgery. A propensity score analysis was conducted after adjusting the following variables: sex, age, smoking history, performance status, pathological stage, and histological type. Three hundred patients (68.5%) had both children and partners. Forty-nine patients (11.2%) only had children, and 56 (12.8%) patients only had a partner. Thirty-three patients (7.5%) did not have a partner or children. The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of the partner-present and partner-absent patients did not differ to a statistically significant extent (P =.862 and P =.712, respectively). However, childless patients showed significantly shorter OS and DFS in comparison with patients with children (P =.005 and P =.002, respectively). The postoperative exacerbation of PNI was significantly greater in childless patients than in patients with children (P =.003). These results remained after propensity score matching. Childless patients had a significantly poorer postoperative prognosis than those with children. Surgeons caring for childless NSCLC patients should be aware of the poorer postoperative outcomes in this population..

In this study, we directly analyzed breast carcinoma tissues embedded in frozen tissue microarrays (fTMAs) using MALDI mass-spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). Materials and Methods: A total of 119 breast tissues (84 carcinoma and 35 normal) were used. MSI data were extracted from each tissue. Results: Overall, 185 of 1,915 peaks which were commonly detected in 60% of target areas were subjected to further analysis. One hundred and fifty-two peaks of carcinoma showed significantly higher intensity than normal. Comparing metabolite profiles from carcinoma and normal tissues, energy charge (EC) and the sum of adenosine phosphate compound (AXP) indicated significantly higher intensities in cancerous tissues than normal. But comparisons of EC and AXP among lymph node metastasis, tumor size and tumor subtypes indicated no significant differences. Conclusion: Breast carcinoma tissues had higher EC and AXP values than normal. MALDI-MSI could be a tool for characterizing breast carcinoma..

Here, we uncover the role of CD163 in macrophage activation using CD163-deficient mice and human samples. We detected CD163 in 62 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma samples, in which a high percentage of CD163-positive macrophages was associated with decreased overall survival and higher histologic grade. We observed macrophage-induced tumor cell proliferation in cocultures of human monocyte-derived macrophages and leiomyosarcoma (TYLMS-1) and myxofibrosarcoma (NMFH-1) cell lines, which was abrogated by silencing of CD163. Tumor development of sarcoma (MCA205 and LM8) cells in CD163-deficient mice was significantly abrogated in comparison with wild-type (WT) mice. Coculture with WT peritoneal macrophages significantly increased proliferation of MCA205 cells but decreased in the presence of CD163-deficient macrophages. Production of IL6 and CXCL2 in CD163-deficient macrophages was suppressed in comparison withWTmacrophages, and overexpression of CD163 in CD163-deficient macrophages induced production of IL6 and CXCL2. Silencing of IL6 but not CXCL2 abrogated macrophageinduced proliferation ofMCA205 cells. Taken together, our results show that CD163 is involved in protumoral activation of macrophages and subsequent development and progression of tumors in mice and humans. Significance: Macrophage CD163-mediated induction of IL6 promotes tumor development and progression in murine and human malignant tumors..

Although clinicopathological significance of EZH2 in non-small cell lung cancer has been gradually elucidated, such significance in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has yet to be fully investigated. Patients and Methods: Forty patients with resected SCLC were analyzed for EZH2. EZH2 expression was evaluated using the Allred score (0-8) and was classified into negative (0-6) and positive (7 and 8). We evaluated the association between EZH2 and the clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative survivals. Results: Among 40 patients, 15 (37.5%) and 25 (62.5%) were classified as being negative and positive for EZH2, respectively. Fisher’s exact test demonstrated no significant associations between the positivity for EZH2 and clinicopathological characteristics. No significant differences were observed in recurrence-free and overall survivals between EZH2-negative/low and EZH2-high patients. Conclusion: EZH2 was frequently observed in patients with resected SCLC, but no significant associations were found between its expression and the clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative survivals..

Patients and Methods: Thirty-four patients with NSCLC with BMs who underwent surgical resection of the BMs at the Department of Neurosurgery, Kyushu University from 2005 to 2016 were enrolled in the study. The EGFR statuses of the 34 BMs were investigated. Radiological features, including the number, size, and location of the tumor, were delineated by CT. Results: Patients with EGFR-mutated BMs had significantly higher frequencies of multiple metastases than those with the non-EGFR-mutated type (p=0.042). BMs harboring mutations in EGFR were more frequently observed in the central area of the brain compared to those without mutations in EGFR (p=0.037). Conclusion: Careful follow-up of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC may be necessary given the high frequencies of multiple BMs and their location in the central area of the brain..

In the current study, we investigated the significance of STAS in patients with pathologic stage I adenocarcinoma. Methods: We assessed STAS in a total of 276 patients with resected pathologic stage I adenocarcinoma. STAS was classified as either no STAS, low STAS (1-4 single cells or clusters of STAS), or high STAS (≥5 single cells or clusters of STAS) using a 20x objective and a 10x ocular lens. We evaluated the association between STAS and the clinicopathologic characteristics and postoperative survivals. Results: Among 276 patients, 123 (44.6%), 48 (17.4%), and 105 (38.0%) were classified as having no, low, and high STAS, respectively. The positivity for STAS was significantly associated with larger radiologic tumor diameter (p = 0.008), higher consolidation/tumor ratio (p

In paired analyses of adenocarcinoma and normal mucosa from 142 patients, we found a significant increase of the CD4/CD8 ratio and accumulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs) within the adenocarcinoma. The increased frequency of Tregs correlated with the local infiltration and extension of the tumor. There was concurrent maturation arrest, upregulation of programmed death-1 expression, and functional impairment in CD8 + T cells (CTLs) isolated from the adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma-associated Tregs directly inhibit the function of normal human CTLs in vitro. With histopathological analysis, Foxp3 + Tregs were preferentially located in stroma. Concurrent transcriptome analysis of epithelial cells, stromal cells, and T cell subsets obtained from carcinomatous and normal intestinal samples from patients revealed a distinct gene expression signature in colorectal adenocarcinoma–associated Tregs, with overexpression of CCR1, CCR8, and TNFRSF9, whereas their ligands CCL4 and TNFSF9 were found upregulated in cancerous epithelium. Overexpression of WNT2 and CADM1, associated with carcinogenesis and metastasis, in cancer-associated stromal cells suggests that both cancer cells and stromal cells play important roles in the development and progression of colorectal cancer through the formation of a tumor microenvironment. The identification of CTL anergy by Tregs and the unique gene expression signature of human Tregs and stromal cells in colorectal cancer patients May facilitate the development of new therapeutics against malignancies.

A case report and literature review, Anticancer Research, 10.21873/anticanres.12571, 38, 5, 3115-3118, 2018.05, Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) of the lung is extremely rare, and there are very few reports on this condition. This is a case report of GTS of the lung that was successfully treated by resection. A 19-year-old man, who had been diagnosed with a testicular tumor, lung metastases and left hilar lymph node metastasis, underwent surgical resection for left testicular cancer. After orchiectomy and chemotherapy, the patient was successfully treated with wedge resection of the right upper lobe and left upper lobectomy. In conclusion, the current case suggests that some patients with GTS might be successfully treated by surgical resection..

Summary of background data LDH often involves hyaline cartilage fragments pulled from the vertebral endplates. Modic changes are closely associated with LDH that contains hyaline cartilage, and cartilaginous endplates seem to affect resorption of the herniated disc. Methods A total of 78 patients who underwent microscopic discectomy between 9 and 16 weeks after an occurrence of LDH were reviewed. Modic changes, disc degeneration, high-intensity zone, and vertebral corner defect were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Histopathological observations of cartilaginous endplates and inflamed granulation tissue in the herniated disc were made. In cases with inflamed granulation tissue, neovascularization and macrophage infiltration were also evaluated using immunohistochemical analysis. Results Modic changes were observed in approximately one-third of the patients (26 cases: type 1, 7; type 2, 17; and type 3, 2). Cartilaginous endplates were observed in 32 cases (41%) and in the majority of cases with Modic changes compared with cases without Modic changes (65%, p = 0.001). Although inflamed granulation tissue was observed in 60 cases (77%), no significant differences were detected in patient age and the composition of the herniated material. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that fewer CD34-positive capillaries and CD68-positive cells were found in cases with cartilaginous fragments compared with those without cartilaginous fragments (p

This is a case report of a 69-year-old woman who was diagnosed with early-stage gastric cancer. She had endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD) and histologically, both horizontal and vertical margins were negative. Seven months after ESD, a new lesion of the stomach was detected by follow-up gastroscopy. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed and “crawling type” glands were observed throughout the whole area of the tumor. We should keep this variant in mind, especially when a tumor is superficial depressed or superficial flat type in the middle of the stomach. Careful observation with multiple biopsies of all mucosal layer and a re-biopsy is the key procedure for obtaining the right diagnosis. Endoscopic and histological characteristics should also be reviewed..

a study of 36 cases in comparison to the cases without ossification, Histopathology, 10.1111/his.13421, 72, 5, 729-738, 2018.04, Aims: Ossification is found occasionally in dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). The aims of this study were to elucidate whether the formed bone tissue is usually produced by tumour cells or by reactive non-neoplastic cells, and to reveal the clinicopathological characteristics of DDLPS with ossification. Methods and results: We examined 36 cases of ossified DDLPS by comparing them to 31 cases of non-ossified DDLPS. MDM2 amplification was confirmed in osteocytes and/or osteoblastic cells in all but one ossified DDLPS cases (27 of 28) using fluorescence in-situ hybridisation, although the morphological impression of ossification appeared to be mainly metaplastic (27 of 36) or high-grade osteosarcoma-like (six of 36). The bone tissue was often formed predominantly at the periphery of the DDLPS area near the well-differentiated liposarcoma component (18 of 36), and an organised structure such as bone marrow-like differentiation was not uncommon (12 of 36). According to a modified French Fédération Nationale des Centers de Lutte Contre le Cancer (FNCLCC) grading system, ossified DDLPS tended to be lower grade than non-ossified DDLPS (mean grade: 1.88 and 2.15, respectively). Ossification in DDLPS was associated significantly with shorter local recurrence-free survival by multivariate analysis (P = 0.02347), but metaplastic-appearing ossification tended to be associated with longer overall survival (P = 0.1400). Conclusions: The bone tissue formed in DDLPS was mainly neoplastic regardless of its morphology and maturity, which highlighted the osteogenic differentiation of the tumour cells. DDLPS patients with osteogenic differentiation tended to suffer from earlier local recurrences, which did not necessarily lead to poor life outcomes..

The PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx assay, the only companion diagnostic for pembrolizumab therapy, has revealed that ∼30% of all NSCLCs express PD-L1 at a high level. The frequency of high PD-L1 expression in NSCLCs with known driver oncogenes has remained unclear, however. Materials and methods: We retrospectively evaluated PD-L1 expression with the 22C3 assay in tumor tissue of 80 lung adenocarcinoma patients including 71 with EGFR mutations and 9 with ALK rearrangements, all of whom were treated with corresponding tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Results: Of the 80 tumors analyzed, 26 (32.5%) had a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of 1%–49% and 9 (11.3%) had a PD-L1 TPS of ≥50%; 35 (43.8%) thus had a PD-L1 TPS of ≥1%. Of the 71 tumors with EGFR mutations, 23 (32.4%) had a PD-L1 TPS of 1%–49% and 7 (9.9%) had a PD-L1 TPS of ≥50%. A PD-L1 TPS of ≥1% was not associated with any clinical characteristic examined. Progression-free survival on initial TKI treatment was significantly poorer for patients with a PD-L1 TPS of ≥1% than for those with a PD-L1 TPS of

A case report, Medicine (United States), 10.1097/MD.0000000000010378, 97, 15, 2018.04, Rationale:Metastatic littoral cell angioma (LCA) is extremely rare. No standard therapeutic strategy has been established, and the impact of chemotherapy has not yet been evaluated.Patient concerns:A 61-year-old woman was admitted because of bicytopenia. She had a splenectomy for LCA of the spleen 10 years earlier. Bone marrow aspiration was normal, and a computed tomography (CT) scan showed hepatomegaly with multiple liver tumors. Diagnoses:Liver biopsy samples showed macrophage-like cell infiltration in the hepatic sinusoids. Metastatic LCA was diagnosed based on immunohistochemistry, imaging tests, and the clinical course.Interventions:Immunosuppressive agents, such as prednisolone and cyclosporine, were ineffective. Next, cytotoxic agents, such as etoposide, paclitaxel, and vincristine, were administered.Outcomes:Cytotoxic agents showed a prominent effect against LCA. CT showed improvement of the hepatomegaly, and fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake decreased markedly at a follow-up FDG- positron emission tomography (PET) scan.Lessons:Chemotherapeutic treatment based on hemophagocytic syndrome or angiosarcoma might have anti-tumor activity against metastatic LCA. Analysis of the molecular characteristics of this tumor is needed to develop better treatment options..

Recently, pan-TRK inhibitors have been evaluated and their dramatic clinical activity is being shown for a variety of cancer types harboring an NTRK rearrangement in phase I trials. ONO-7579 is an oral pan-TRK inhibitor currently under investigation in phase I/II clinical trial for TRK-rearranged solid tumors. In this study, we evaluated the anticancer effect of ONO-7579 using GBC cells with or without KRAS mutant, NOZ, TYGBK-1. Our study showed that ONO-7579 had a suppressive effect on GBC proliferation in TYGBK-1, and on invasive potential and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in TYGBK-1 and NOZ. Our data indicated that ONO-7579 could be a promising treatment option for patients with GBC..

Although frequent nuclear β-catenin expression and CTNNB1 mutations have been reported in BCA, further details of the Wnt/β-catenin signal alterations are unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic utility of Wnt/β-catenin signal alteration in BCA and morphological mimics. We performed immunohistochemical staining for β-catenin and mutation analysis for Wnt/β-catenin-related genes (CTNNB1, APC, AXIN1 and AXIN2) in BCA (n = 34), BCAC (n = 3), ACC (n = 67) and PA (n = 31). We also analyzed ACC-specific MYB and MYBL1 gene rearrangements by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Nuclear β-catenin expression (≥3%) was present in 32/34 cases (94.1%) of BCA, and the nuclear β-catenin labeling index was significantly higher than in other tumor types (p =

The aim of this study was to investigate the interrelationship between PD-L1-positive cells and cytotoxic T cells, lymphatic vessels and vascular endothelium by using histological examination with the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a PD-L1-positive colon cancer. Methods and results: Serial sections of MSI-H colon cancer tissue were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson trichrome stains; immunohistochemical analysis of PD-L1, CD8, D2-40 and CD31 was performed. Several 3D models of MSI-H colon cancer were reconstructed with a 3D data visualisation system. Moreover, 18 serial sections were stained with PD-L1, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, CD45, CD31, CD68 and H&E in the same case to confirm that PD-L1 was expressed on tumour cells, CD31-positive cells and macrophages in the invasive frontal region. Notably, there was a peak in the expression of PD-L1 and CD31 in the invasive frontal region. D2-40-positive cells were abundant in the overall tumour stroma, and CD8-positive cells infiltrated the tumour parenchyma. PD-L1 was expressed on tumour cells in the parenchyma and other cells in the stroma. Additional staining of 18 consecutive sections revealed that the other cells were CD68-positive and CD45-positive macrophages and CD31-positive proliferating vascular endothelial cells. Conclusions: We confirmed that PD-L1 was highly expressed in the invasive frontal region in 3D models of MSI-H colon cancer tissue. This method can be useful for accurately evaluating the localisation of immune checkpoint molecules..

A comprehensive analysis of systemic inflammatory markers, Surgical Oncology, 10.1016/j.suronc.2018.01.002, 27, 1, 88-94, 2018.03, Objectives Programmed death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have been approved as a standard therapy for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although PD-L1 expression serves as a predictive biomarker for the efficacy of immunotherapy, there are no established biomarkers to predict the expression of PD-L1. The inflammatory markers C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were recently shown to predict the efficacy of nivolumab for NSCLC patients. Therefore, here we investigated the potential association of PD-L1 expression with systemic inflammatory markers, including CRP, NLR, lymphocyte-monocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio. Methods We retrospectively examined tumor PD-L1 expression in 508 surgically resected primary NSCLC cases by immunohistochemical analysis (cut-off value: 1%). The association of PD-L1 expression with preoperative systemic inflammatory markers was assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses. We generated a PD-L1 association score (A-score) from serum CRP level (cut-off value: 0.3 mg/dl) and smoking status to predict PD-L1 expression. Results Among the total 508 patients, 188 (37.0%) patients were positive for PD-L1 expression at the 1% cut-off value and 90 (17.5%) had elevated serum CRP level. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that PD-L1 positivity was significantly associated with advanced stage, the presence of vascular invasion and high serum CRP level (P =.0336,.0106 and 0.0018, respectively). Though not significant, smoking history tended to be associated with PD-L1 protein expression (P =.0717). There was no correlation with other inflammatory markers. Smoking history with elevated CRP level (A-score: 2) was strongly associated with PD-L1 protein expression (odds ratio: 5.18, P <.0001 while it was inversely associated with egfr mutation ratio: p conclusions our results indicate that among all systemic inflammatory markers examined serum crp seems to predict pd-l1 expression in patients nsclc however the clinical applicability is limited given obtained area under receiver operating characteristic curve values.. id="gencho_ronbuns10043906" class="qir_handle_link">

The RANKL inhibitor denosumab, when used for the treatment of GCTB, leads to histological changes such as new bone formation and giant cell depletion. Here we assessed the diagnostic utility of immunohistochemical staining with the antibodies against histone H3.3 G34W, G34R and G34V mutant proteins for GCTB and other histologically similar bone and joint lesions. H3.3 G34W, G34R and G34V expressions were detected in mononuclear stromal cells in 47/51 (92%), 1/51 (2%) and 3/51 (6%) cases of primary GCTBs, respectively, in a mutually exclusive manner. All recurrent/metastatic GCTBs (n = 14), post-denosumab GCTBs (n = 8) and secondary malignant GCTBs (n = 2) were positive for H3.3 G34W. The immunohistochemical results were essentially correlated with the H3F3A genotype determined by mutation analysis. In post-denosumab GCTBs, H3.3 G34W expression was seen in immature bone-forming cells. H3.3 G34W, G34R and G34V were negative in 121/122 cases of non-GCTB, including chondroblastoma, osteosarcoma, primary aneurysmal bone cyst and other giant cell–rich lesions. The exception was a single case of undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma that was positive for H3.3 G34W, suggesting the possibility of sarcomatous overgrowth of primary malignant GCTB. Therefore, H3.3 G34W/R/V mutant-specific antibodies are useful surrogate markers for the H3F3A genotype and helpful for the diagnosis of GCTB and its variants. The expression of H3.3 G34W mutant protein in post-denosumab GCTB suggests that neoplastic stromal cells may play a role in new bone formation..

Its role in the regulation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function remains unknown. The present study addresses this question. Methods: Isometric contraction was monitored in circular smooth muscle strips of porcine LES. Changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and force were simultaneously monitored in fura-2-loaded strips with front-surface fluorometry. The contribution of endogenous H2S to LES contractility was investigated by examining the effects of inhibitors of H2S-generating enzymes, including cystathionine-β-synthase, cystathionine-γ-lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, on the LES function. Results: Porcine LES strips myogenically maintained a tetrodotoxin-resistant basal tone. Application of AOA (cystathionine-β-synthase inhibitor) or L-aspartic acid (L-Asp; 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase inhibitor) but not DL-PAG (cystathionine-γ-lyase inhibitor), decreased this basal tone. The relaxant effects of AOA and L-Asp were additive. Maximum relaxation was obtained by combination of 1 mM AOA and 3 mM L-Asp. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that cystathionine-β-synthase and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, but not cystathionine-γ-lyase, were expressed in porcine LES. AOA+L-Asp–induced relaxation was accompanied by a decrease in [Ca2+]i and inversely correlated with the extracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]o) (25-137.4 mM), indicating involvement of an Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. The reduction in the basal [Ca2+]i level by AOA was significantly augmented in the antral smooth muscle sheets of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice. Conclusions: Endogenous H2S regulates the LES myogenic tone by maintaining the basal [Ca2+]i via Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. H2S-generating enzymes may be a potential therapeutic target for esophageal motility disorders, such as achalasia..

However, its frequency and significance in patients with resected small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains unclear. Patients and Methods: A total of 30 patients with resected SCLC were analyzed for STAS. STAS was classified as either no STAS, low STAS (1-4 single cells or clusters of STAS), or high STAS (≥5 single cells or clusters of STAS). We evaluated the association between STAS and clinicopathological characteristics and postoperative survivals. Results: Among 30 patients, 5 (17%), 6 (20%) and 19 (63%) were classified as having no, low and high STAS, respectively. Fisher’s exact test demonstrated no significant associations between the positivity for STAS and clinicopathological characteristics. No significant differences were observed in recurrence-free and overall survival between STAS-negative/low and STAS-high patients. Conclusion: STAS was frequently observed in patients with resected SCLC..

Hiroshi Otsuka, Kenichi Kouhashi, Masato Yoshimoto, Shin Ishihara, Yu Toda, Yuichi Yamada, Hidetaka Yamamoto, Yasuharu Nakashima, Yoshinao Oda, Immunohistochemical evaluation of H3K27 trimethylation in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, Pathology Research and Practice, 10.1016/j.prp.2017.12.015, 214, 3, 417-425, 2018.03, The histological definitive diagnosis of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is quite difficult because the morphological features are not specific and no useful immunohistochemical marker has been identified. Loss-of-function mutations in EED or SUZ12, which encode the core subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), were reported in MPNSTs, and the mutations were shown to cause inactivation of PRC2, leading to loss of trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). Immunohistochemistry of H3K27me3 is expected to be a specific marker for MPNSTs. We evaluated immunohistochemical expression of H3K27me3 in MPNSTs with heterologous components and metachronous cases of MPNSTs. Among 145 MPNST samples, 50 (34.5%) showed complete loss of staining, and 45 (31.0%) showed partial loss of staining. Regarding the backgrounds of MPNSTs, 43 patients of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1)-associated MPNST demonstrated 19 (44.2%) complete and 12 (27.9%) partial loss of H3K27me3. Among MPNSTs with heterologous component, almost all of MPNSTs with epithelioid differentiation (8/9 samples, 88.9%) retained H3K27me3, and malignant Triton tumors without epithelioid component lacked H3K27me3 at high rate (91.7%). Five of 20 metachronous MPNST cases showed significantly reduced expression of H3K27me3 between primary and later-occurring tumors, but in some cases increased expression of H3K27me3 in the clinical course (such as complete loss to partial loss) was observed. If the tumors are recurrent or metastatic, H3K27me3 expression should be reduced or at least maintained because loss of H3K27me3 is due to genetic mutation of EED or SUZ12. MPNSTs, especially those associated with NF-1, can occur in heterochronous and multiple patterns, and the identification of increased expression of H3K27me3 during a patient's clinical course can be helpful for determining whether the tumors are heterochronous, multiple or not. As heterochronous and multiple tumors may show lower malignancy compared to recurrent or metastatic tumors, favorable prognosis may be expected when H3K27me3 expression is increased..

Herein, we aimed to examine the expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and related proteins in MSI-H and microsatellite-stable (MSS) CRCs to investigate the immune microenvironment at the tumor's invasive front. The MSI status was retrospectively assessed in 499 patients undergoing surgical resection of primary CRC; of these, 48 were classified as MSI-H. Propensity score matching was performed, and tissues from 36 and 37 patients with MSI-H and MSS CRCs, respectively, were immunohistochemically evaluated for PD-L1, PD-1, CD8 and CD68. PD-L1 expression was evaluated separately for tumor cells (PD-L1 [T]) and tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells in the stroma (PD-L1 [I]). PD-L1 (T) was positive in only 5.4% and 36.1% of MSS and MSI-H CRCs, while PD-L1 (I) was positive in 27% and 72.2% of these CRCs, respectively. The PD-L1 (T) and PD-L1 (I) expression levels in MSI-H CRCs significantly correlated with poor differentiation, lymphatic invasion and vascular invasion (p

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)23 is recognised as a reliable marker of PMT-MCT, but quantitative evaluation has never been performed. We reviewed cases of tumour-associated osteomalacia or histologically definitive PMT-MCT without osteomalacia using histological, immunohistochemical and genetic methods and evaluated the diagnostic significance of these findings. Methods and results: A total of 19 tumours from 14 cases diagnosed previously as PMT-MCT were retrieved, on which immunohistochemical staining, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) and fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis were performed. Histologically, fibrous capsule, calcification and giant cell reaction tended to be observed in soft-tissue PMT-MCT, while PMT-MCT of bone and multiple PMT-MCT showed an infiltrative growth pattern. The immunohistochemical results were as follows: the tumour cells were positive for FGF23 (nine of 12, 75%), FGFR1 (11 of 11, 100%), CD56 (12 of 14, 85.7%) and E26 oncogene homologue (ERG) (5 of 13, 38.4%). The sole malignant tumour was positive for p53. FGF23 mRNA was detected in seven of 14 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens and all five frozen specimens by RT–PCR. The level of FGF23 mRNA, which was determined by real-time PCR, varied among the phosphaturic cases. Two of 17 tumours were positive for FGFR1 gene rearrangement. Conclusions: It was considered that PMT-MCT is a histopathological entity with or without phosphaturia, with varying levels of FGF23 mRNA, and with or without fibronectin 1 (FN1)–FGFR1 fusion gene. The authors propose that the histology of PMT-MCT differs depending on its location, such as bone or soft tissue, which could complicate the differential diagnosis..

However, the association between PD-L1 expression and EGFR mutation site in EGFR mutation-positive lung adenocarcinoma is unclear. Materials and methods We retrospectively examined the relationship between PD-L1 expression and EGFR status in 441 surgically resected primary lung adenocarcinomas. Membrane PD-L1 expression on tumor cells was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis using a PD-L1 antibody (clone SP142) and defined by tumor proportion scores (TPSs) of 0%, 1–4%, 5–49%, and ≥50%, respectively. Results Two hundred and eighteen (49.4%) patients had wild-type EGFR, and 223 (50.6%) had mutant EGFR—98 (44.0%) with exon 19 deletion, 116 (52.0%) with exon 21 L858R point mutation, and nine (4.0%) with another EGFR mutation. Overall, Fisher's exact test showed that PD-L1 positivity was associated with wild-type EGFR, and there was only one case with PD-L1 TPS ≥50% among the cases with mutant EGFR. The analysis of cases with mutant EGFR indicated no significant association between EGFR mutation site and PD-L1 expression. However, the prevalence of PD-L1 TPS 5–49% was higher among patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion than with EGFR exon 21 L858R point mutation. Conclusions PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with wild-type EGFR, and PD-L1 TPS ≥50% seldom overlaps with presence of driver oncogene EGFR. There was no significant difference in PD-L1 expression among the EGFR mutation sites.

Biopsy specimens showed a round to spindle cell neoplasm with uncertain malignant potential, leading to the decision of surgical resection. Histologically, the resected tumor was encapsulated by fibrous tissue but focally invaded the surrounding skeletal muscles. The tumor was composed of ganglion cell–like short spindle cells with lymphocytic infiltration in the collagenous background. Tumor cells with large bizarre nuclei were occasionally observed, and multinucleated giant cells were scattered at the periphery. Hemangiopericytoma-like patterns and adipose tissue elements were not evident, and mitotic figures were rarely observed (

In this translational study, we investigated PD-L1 expression and its relationship with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in resected multifocal lung cancer. Methods The PD-L1 expression in 152 samples of multifocal lung cancer from 59 patients was evaluated by an immunohistochemical analysis. Results Among the 152 lung cancer lesions of 59 patients, PD-L1 expression was observed in 29 lesions (19.1%) of 20 patients (33.9%). Among 43 patients with 112 multiple primary lung cancer lesions, 15 lesions (13.4%) of 13 patients (30.2%) were PD-L1 positive; and among 16 patients with 40 pulmonary metastatic lesions, 14 lesions (35.0%) of 7 patients (43.8%) were PD-L1-positive. Among 43 patients with multiple primary lung cancer, there was disagreement of PD-L1 expression in 12 patients (27.9%, κ = 0.104). On the contrary, among 16 patients with pulmonary metastasis, disagreement of PD-L1 expression was observed only in 1 patient (6.3%, κ = 0.871). In pulmonary metastatic lesions, the frequency of PD-L1 positivity among lesions with wild-type EGFR was significantly higher than among lesions with mutated EGFR (66.7% versus 0%: p

Standard operating procedures based on empirical analyses, Pathology International, 10.1111/pin.12631, 68, 2, 63-90, 2018.02, Genome research using appropriately collected pathological tissue samples is expected to yield breakthroughs in the development of biomarkers and identification of therapeutic targets for diseases such as cancers. In this connection, the Japanese Society of Pathology (JSP) has developed “The JSP Guidelines on the Handling of Pathological Tissue Samples for Genomic Research” based on an abundance of data from empirical analyses of tissue samples collected and stored under various conditions. Tissue samples should be collected from appropriate sites within surgically resected specimens, without disturbing the features on which pathological diagnosis is based, while avoiding bleeding or necrotic foci. They should be collected as soon as possible after resection: at the latest within about 3 h of storage at 4°C. Preferably, snap-frozen samples should be stored in liquid nitrogen (about −180°C) until use. When intending to use genomic DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, 10% neutral buffered formalin should be used. Insufficient fixation and overfixation must both be avoided. We hope that pathologists, clinicians, clinical laboratory technicians and biobank operators will come to master the handling of pathological tissue samples based on the standard operating procedures in these Guidelines to yield results that will assist in the realization of genomic medicine..

Therefore, identifying the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) and using them to obtain an intraoperative pathologic diagnosis can provide information on the feasibility and safety of trachelectomy. Our aim was to assess the value of an intraoperative SLN diagnosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the accuracy of intraoperative imprint cytology and frozen-section examination in 201 patients at our institution in whom trachelectomy was planned. Results: All patients could be evaluated for SLNs; a total of 610 SLNs were analyzed. Although the specificity of both imprint cytology and frozen-section examination was 100.0%, the sensitivity was only 58.6 and 65.5%, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity was higher in 2-mm slices along the short axis than on bisection along the longitudinal axis. Imprint cytology correctly diagnosed 2 patients who had false-negative results on frozen section. The nature of the metastatic foci that caused an intraoperative false-negative diagnosis was either micrometastasis or isolated tumor cells. Conclusions: The accuracy of intraoperative SLN diagnosis requires improvement, especially when small metastatic foci are present..

The aim of this study was to elucidate the incidence and timing of development of concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in patients with and without pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the surveillance data for 22 patients who underwent pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma concomitant with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-resection group), 180 who underwent pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm-resection group), and 263 whose intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms were left untreated (nonresection group). The incidence and timing of the development of a concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma during the surveillance of patients with and without partial pancreatectomy for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm were investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: During a median surveillance period of 40 months (range 6–262 months), 5 patients in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-resection group, 6 in the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm-resection group, and 8 in the nonresection group developed concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The estimated 5-year (17%) and 10-year (56%) cumulative incidences of secondary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-resection group were significantly greater than those in the other two groups (P <.01 conversely the difference in estimated cumulative incidence of concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm-resection and nonresection groups was not significant vs p=".87)." conclusion: long-term surveillance patients with neoplasm is necessary important because potential for development adenocarcinoma. those a history resection at time initial operation are quite high risk secondary adenocarcinoma.. id="gencho_ronbuns10093268" class="qir_handle_link">

The authors previously described that IHC expression of the protein product of the methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene, which is localized in the 9p21 chromosomal region, was correlated with the deletion status of 9p21 FISH in MPM tissues. In the current study, the authors investigated whether a combination of MTAP and BAP1 IHC could distinguish MPM from reactive mesothelial cells (RMC) in cell blocks obtained from pleural effusions. METHODS: The authors examined IHC expression of MTAP and BAP1 in cell blocks obtained from pleural effusions of 45 cases of MPM and 21 cases of reactive mesothelial hyperplasia. Furthermore, IHC expression of MTAP was compared with the deletion status of 9p21 FISH. RESULTS: MTAP and BAP1 IHC differentiated MPM from RMC with 100% specificity for both and sensitivities of 42.2% and 60.0%, respectively. The combination of MTAP and BAP1 IHC yielded a sensitivity of 77.8%, which was higher than that of BAP1 IHC alone or 9p21 FISH alone (62.2%). Moreover, a high degree of concordance was observed between the results of MTAP IHC and 9p21 FISH in cell blocks. CONCLUSIONS: A combination of MTAP and BAP1 IHC in cell blocks from pleural effusions appears to be a reliable and useful method for differentiating MPM cells from RMC and can be used in the routine diagnosis of MPM.

This study targeted a novel tumor-associated antigen, ring finger protein 43 (RNF43). Eligible patients were resistant to standard therapy, HLA-A*24:02- or A*02:01positive and exhibiting high RNF43 expression in their tumor cells. They were administered 300 mg/m2 CPA followed by autologous lymphocytes, preliminarily cultured with autologous RNF43 peptide-pulsed dendritic cells (DCs), RNF43 peptide-pulsed DCs and systemic low dose interleukin-2. The primary endpoint was safety whereas the secondary endpoint was immunological and clinical response to treatment. Ten patients, in total, were enrolled in this trial. Primarily, no adverse events greater than Grade 3 were observed. Six out of 10 patients showed stable disease (SD) on day 49, while 4 other patients showed progressive disease. In addition, one patient with SD exhibited a partial response after the second trial. The frequency of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with SD significantly decreased after CPA administration. The ratio of interferon-γ-producing, tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells increased with time in patients with SD. We successfully showed that the combination of immune cell therapy and CPA was safe, might induce tumor-specific immune responses and clinical efficacy, and was accompanied by a decreased ratio of Tregs in patients with RNF43-positive advanced solid tumors..

Chest computed tomography showed the appearance of a nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) pattern. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was performed, and the specimens prominently showed a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern. She was diagnosed with bird-related chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (BRCHP) on the basis of the detection of antibodies to pigeon dropping extract in her serum and a history of using feather-filled duvets and indirect exposure to birds in her living environment. Even though she was treated with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants and recommended to avoid bird-related antigens, she had a progressive course with repeated acute exacerbation episodes and died of respiratory failure. The autopsy findings showed diffuse alveolar damage superimposed on UIP. Clinicians should be aware that BRCHP patients especially with histopathologically UIP pattern may experience acute exacerbation..

Leiomyosarcomas are relatively chemoresistant tumors, and the prognosis of patients with leiomyosarcomas is poor. Cancer-testis (CT) antigens are considered promising immunotherapeutic targets because of their restricted expression in normal tissue, except in the testis. Little is known about the expression of CT antigens in leiomyosarcomas. In the present study, the protein expression of the CT antigens MAGE family member A (MAGEA)1, MAGEA3, MAGEA4, G antigen 7 (GAGE7) and cancer/testis antigen 1 (NY-ESO-1) in ULMS and NULMS were investigated using immunohistochemistry (IHC), and their expression profiles compared. In ULMS and NULMS, positive expression was observed in 11/32 (31%) and 1/31 (3%; MAGEA1), 15/32 (47%) and 5/31 (16%; MAGEA3), 11/32 (34%) and 3/31 (10%; MAGEA4), 23/32 (72%) and 11/31 (35%; GAGE7) and 3/32 (9%) and 0/31 (0%; NY-ESO-1), respectively. The ULMSs demonstrated significantly higher positive expression of MAGEA1 (P=0.0034), MAGEA3 (P=0.0141), MAGEA4 (P=0.0319) and GAGE7 (P=0.0054) compared with the NULMSs. The ULMSs also had significantly higher IHC scores for MAGEA1 (P=0.0023), MAGEA3 (P=0.0474), MAGEA4 (P=0.011), GAGE7 (P=0.0319) and NY-ESO-1 (P=0.0437). The results of the present study support the potential utility of MAGEA1, MAGEA3, MAGEA4 and GAGE7 in ULMS and GAGE7 in NULMS as immunotherapeutic targets..

Kayoko Nakano, Hidetaka Yamamoto, Minako Fujiwara, Yutaka Koga, Shinichi Tsuruta, Eikichi Ihara, Eiji Oki, Masafumi Nakamura, Yoshihiro Ogawa, Yoshinao Oda, Clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics of synchronous colorectal carcinoma with mismatch repair deficiency, American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 10.1097/PAS.0000000000000947, 42, 2, 172-182, 2018.01, Synchronous colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a unique disease associated with a high prevalence (∼35%) of microsatellite instability and occasionally with Lynch syndrome. The clinicopathologic and molecular features of synchronous CRC are poorly understood, particularly in Japanese patients. We examined 118 Japanese patients (236 tumors) with synchronous CRC and 117 Japanese patients (117 tumors) with solitary CRC with immunohistochemical staining for TP53 and mismatch repair (MMR) protein (MLH1, MSH2, PMS2, and MSH6) and mutation analyses of KRAS and BRAF genes. The results revealed no significant differences in clinicopathologic, histologic, and molecular findings between the synchronous and solitary CRC groups. Among the 118 synchronous CRC patients, 15 (12.7%) showed loss of MMR protein(s) expression in at least 1 tumor, whereas 103 (87.3%) showed intact expression of all 4 MMR proteins in both tumors. Of note, all patients with MMR deficiency had excellent prognoses. The 15 patients were further subdivided into 2 groups: the Concordant group, with concordant MMR loss (n=9, 7.6%) and the Discordant group, with discordant MMR loss (n=6, 5.1%). The Concordant patients showed concurrent MLH1/PMS2 loss (n=3), concurrent MSH2/ MSH6 loss (n=4) and isolated MSH6 loss (n=2) in both tumors, whereas the Discordant patients showed concurrent MLH1/PMS2 loss (n=2), isolated PMS2 loss (n=2) and isolated MSH6 loss (n=2) in a single tumor. On the basis of the MMR expression pattern and BRAF mutation, the Concordant and Discordant groups were suspected to include Lynch syndrome, Lynch-like syndrome and sporadic MLH1 promoter hypermethylated CRC. In addition, KRAS mutation was present in only 1 tumor in a single patient in each group. In conclusion, the frequency of MMR protein deficiency in synchronous CRC in the Japanese population may be lower compared with the reported data from Western populations. MMR protein loss and KRAS and BRAF mutations in synchronous CRCs were heterogenous even in an individual patient..

We investigated the correlation of these chemokine expressions to prognosis in lymph-node-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. A total of 140 surgically resected specimens of primary site (PS) and metastatic lymph nodes (MLN) of NSCLC involving hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes (N1-2) were collected. CXCR4, CXCR7 and CXCL12 expressions were evaluated. Cox regression analysis was performed to determine whether these chemokines were independent prognostic factors in N1-2 NSCLC. High expression of CXCR4 in PS and CXCL12 in MLN was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (P =.025 and.033, respectively). Significant correlations between CXCR4 expression in PS and CXCL12 expression in MLN were observed (P =.040). There was significant difference in OS between 2 groups according to expressions of CXCR4 in PS and CXCL12 in MLN (P =.0033). Expression of CXCL12 in MLN was identified as an independent prognostic factor (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.08-3.04, P =.023). CXCL12 in MLN was mainly expressed by tumor cells compared with stromal cells (56% vs 25%, respectively, P <.0001 cxcr4 may play roles in tumor progression mln and is associated with poor prognosis of lymph-node-positive nsclc patients.. id="gencho_ronbuns10043925" class="qir_handle_link">

He had been diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) during childhood, but he never received any red blood cell transfusions. Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy revealed multiple myocardial hemosiderin deposits, and he was diagnosed with cardiac hemochromatosis. In addition to the iron deposition in the heart, the loss of myocyte and severe interstitial fibrosis were present. His cardiac function did not improve even after the cardioversion for atrial tachycardia, and he suffered from recurrent heart failure. Despite intensive medical treatment for heart failure and arrhythmias in combination with iron chelation therapy, he eventually died of progressive and refractory heart failure. Hemochromatosis is a systemic disorder characterized by the excessive deposition of iron in multiple organs. The occurrence of hemochromatosis in HS is extremely rare, and previous reports have shown that the coexistence of heterozygosity for the HFE gene mutation in HS patients causes excess iron storage. The prognosis is poor due to progressive congestive heart failure and refractory arrhythmias. Here we report a rare case of fatal cardiac hemochromatosis associated with HS. The possibility of cardiac hemochromatosis needs to be considered in cases of heart failure or arrhythmia in patients with HS..

LCH patients occasionally present with fever, although the significance remains elusive. We investigated the predicting factors for developing intractable disease of refractory and/or reactivated LCH. In total, 40 pediatric LCH patients managed in Kyushu University from 1998 to 2014 were enrolled. The medical records were analyzed retrospectively. Sixteen patients suffered from multisystem (MS) LCH involving risk organs (ROs) (n=4) or not (n=12). In total, 24 patients had single-system LCH affecting bone (multi n=8, single n=13), skin (n=2), or lymph node lesions (n=1). Eight patients had the intractable disease of 7 MS or 1 multibone LCH. Two patients died from MS LCH with or without RO involvement. Ten patients showed persistent fever (>38°C) at onset. Intractable cases had fever, RO and skin involvement, leukocytosis, coagulopathy, microcytic anemia, higher levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor and C-reactive protein, more frequently at diagnosis. Multivariate analysis indicated that fever and skin lesions at diagnosis were independently associated with the intractability (odds ratio: fever, 35.5; 95% confidence interval, 3.0-1229.1; skin lesions, 24.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-868.7). Initial fever and skin involvement might predict the development of intractable and fatal-risk LCH even without the RO involvement..

Lung opacity gradually disappeared after discontinuing dabigatran. To date, there has been only one report regarding dabigatran-induced lung injury, except for alveolar hemorrhage and eosinophilic pneumonia. Therefore, we should consider that any drug can cause various types of lung injuries..

a single-institution experience, Surgery Today, 10.1007/s00595-017-1545-3, 48, 1, 44-50, 2018.01, Purpose: Laparoscopic surgery as a treatment for congenital biliary dilatation is uncommon. We herein present a series of laparoscopic surgeries for congenital biliary dilatation performed in our institution and review our experience with this approach over a long period of time. Methods: Medical records of 36 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for congenital biliary dilatation from 1996 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on patient demographics, operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, and complications were evaluated. A comparison between the former period (Group A, 1996–2005) and the latter period (Group B, 2006–2015) was performed. Results: The patients comprised 23 females and 13 males with a median age of 34 years. The median operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay was 493 min, 154 g, and 11 days, respectively. Total early and late complications occurred in 7 (19%) and 2 (5%) patients, respectively. A comparison between Groups A and B revealed no significant difference in operative time or complications, but operative blood loss, open conversion, and hospital stay were significantly lower in Group B than in Group A (P

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of improved peroral pancreatoscopy using SpyGlass-DStm in the preoperative assessment of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main pancreatic duct. Methods: We collected and retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological data from seven consecutive patients who underwent preoperative assessment of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main duct using SpyGlass-DStm. Results: Good imaging quality of the intraductal protruding lesion was obtained in all seven patients, and only one adverse event was noted wherein a patient had mild pancreatitis. Six patients underwent pancreatectomy. In one patient, masked-type concomitant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and low-length dysplastic lesion was found near the surgical margin, which was not detected by preoperative imaging modalities including SpyGlass-DStm. The sensitivity of targeting biopsy during SpyGlass-DStm to diagnose high-grade dysplasia was 0%. Conclusions: SpyGlass-DStm can be safely performed in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm involving the main duct, and has excellent visualization of the target lesion. However, challenges include poor diagnostic ability of targeting biopsy, and, therefore, intraoperative frozen section is still needed to obtain negative surgical margins..

Epithelioid sarcoma, which classified as a tumor of uncertain differentiation, shows an almost complete loss of INI1. However, some cases of epithelioid sarcoma have preserved INI1, and the clinicopathologic features of these cases are uncertain. To date, there has been no investigation focused on the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex in INI1-preserved epithelioid sarcoma cases. First, an investigation of INI1 immunoexpression statuses in 60 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded epithelioid sarcoma specimens (proximal type, 29 cases; conventional type, 31 cases) was performed. In the available INI1-preserved epithelioid sarcoma cases, we analyzed the BRG1, BAF155, and BAF170 protein expressions. INI1 preservation was observed in 6 of 29 (21%) proximal-type and 2 of 31 (6%) conventional-type epithelioid sarcoma cases. Six cases of INI1-preserved epithelioid sarcomas of proximal type were available for further immunohistochemical study. One proximal type showed loss of BAF170, and 2 proximal-type cases revealed loss of BRG1 with preservation of the other remaining core subunit proteins. One proximal-type case showed a mosaic pattern of BRG1 and loss of BAF155. However, in the remaining 2 proximal-type cases, all core subunit proteins were preserved. Overall, these results suggest that loss of expression of SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex proteins has an important role in tumorigenesis. The remaining 2 INI1-preserved epithelioid sarcoma cases may have had other abnormalities causing dysfunction of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling..

Those with STAS had a significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those without STAS (P =.04). Positivity for STAS was an independent prognostic parameter for RFS. Background: Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a recently recognized invasive pattern of lung cancer defined by the World Health Organization as micropapillary clusters, solid nests, or single cells spreading within air spaces beyond the edge of the main tumor. Although STAS has been shown to be a significant prognosticator for the postoperative survival in early-stage lung cancer treated with limited resection, its prognostic impact on the survival in completely resected adenocarcinomas with lymph node metastasis remains unclear. Patients and Methods: STAS was assessed in a total of 63 adenocarcinomas with lymph node metastasis in patients who underwent complete resection. STAS was defined as tumor cells within air spaces in the lung parenchyma beyond the edge of the main tumor. We evaluated the association between STAS and the clinicopathologic characteristics and the postoperative survival. Results: Among 63 patients, 31 (49.2%) and 32 (50.8%) had disease that was pathologically positive for N1 and N2, respectively. STAS was observed in 45 patients (73.0%) and was not significantly associated with any clinicopathologic characteristics. Patients with the STAS had significantly shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS) but not overall survival than those without STAS (P =.04 and P =.35, respectively). The 5-year RFS in patients with and without STAS was 25.1% and 56.7%, respectively. According to a multivariate analysis, positivity for STAS remained an independent prognostic parameter for RFS (hazard ratio = 3.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.47-7.16; P <.01 conclusion: stas was predictive of a poor rfs in completely resected adenocarcinomas with lymph node metastasis.. id="gencho_ronbuns10043934" class="qir_handle_link">

We have observed SPNs can show a microcystic pattern (microcystic SPN), which has been poorly described and may be confused with microcystic neoplasms. We conducted the present study to clarify the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of microcystic SPNs. Methods and results: We examined a consecutive series of 44 SPNs and 10 serous cystadenomas (SCAs), and classified them into 13 microcystic SPNs (29.5%) and 31 conventional SPNs (70.5%). Clinicopathological analysis, immunohistochemical staining and mucin histochemistry were performed. Clear cell change, hyalinised stroma and haemorrhage were observed significantly more frequently in the microcystic SPNs compared to the conventional SPNs. Immunohistochemically, the microcystic SPNs showed significantly lower frequencies of CD10 (0%) and CD56 expression (62%) compared to the conventional SPNs (87%; P

Physical examination revealed a cystic lesion measuring 40×35 mm with a mosaic echo pattern and a rich blood flow. We surgically removed it. Histopathologically, the tumor showed a patternless architecture with branching hemangiopericytoma-like vessels. The tumor cells were immunoreactive for CD34 and STAT-6. This tumor had a NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion as determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. We diagnosed this case as a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). SFTs are known as pleural mesenchymal neoplasms. Extrapleural SFTs are uncommon, but they may be found in various organs including the meninges, subcutaneous tissue, and soft tissue of the extremities. NAB2-STAT6 fusion genes are specific for SFTs and the detection of the fusion gene can be helpful for diagnosis. Recently, the use of immunohistochemistry for STAT-6 as a surrogate for detecting the fusion gene has been reported. SFTs are uncommon subcutaneous soft tissue tumors and should be differentiated from other spindle cell-type mesenchymal neoplasms by the detection of a NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene or immunohistochemical positivity for STAT-6..

A 46-year-old man presented with headache, rapid weight loss, hyperhidrosis, severe hypertension and hyperglycemia without typical Cushingoid appearance. Endocrinological examinations demonstrated elevated plasma and urine catecholamines, serum cortisol and plasma ACTH. Moreover, his ACTH/cortisol ratio and catecholamine levels were extremely high, suggesting catecholamine-dominant ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma. Computed tomography revealed a large right adrenal tumor.18F-FDG positron emission tomography showed uptake in the area of the adrenal tumor, while123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy showed no accumulation. His plasma ACTH level paradoxically became elevated after a dexamethasone suppression test. After metyrapone administration, not only serum cortisol but also plasma ACTH levels were exponentially decreased almost in parallel, suggesting a glucocorticoid-driven positive-feedback regulation in this rapidly exacerbated ectopic ACTH-producing pheochromocytoma. Interestingly enough, plasma catecholamine levels were also decreased by metyrapone, although they remained extremely high. He became severely dehydrated due to hypoadrenalism requiring hydrocortisone supplementation. His clinical signs and symptoms were improved, and right adrenalectomy was performed uneventfully, resulting in complete remission of pheochromocytoma and Cushing’s syndrome. A glucocorticoid-driven positive-feedback regulation in this ectopic ACTH-secreting pheochromocytoma created a vicious cycle with rapid exacerbation of both hypercortisolemia and hypercatecholaminemia with extremely elevated plasma ACTH level. Metyrapone was clinically effective to stop this vicious cycle; nonetheless, great care must be taken to avoid hypoadrenalism especially when hypercatecholaminemia remained..

histopathological significance, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.10.004, 70, 55-61, 2017.12, Hidradenoma usually presents as a solitary, slow-growing, and solid or cystic nodular lesion, which arises in various anatomical sites. Its diagnosis is occasionally difficult because the tumor shares histological features with other cutaneous appendage tumors. Recently, CRTC1-MAML2 fusion gene was reported in hidradenomas, with the fusion transcript being demonstrated in approximately 50% of cases. However, limited information is available regarding its clinical significance. Here, we investigated the relationship between the fusion gene and clinicohistopathological features. We reviewed 39 cases histologically diagnosed as hidradenoma. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed for all 39 cases, and fluorescence in situ hybridization was also performed for the RT-PCR–negative cases. The 39 tumors included 36 clear cell hidradenomas and 3 poroid hidradenomas. The details of the cellular components were as follows: clear cell–dominant type, 9 cases; polygonal cell–dominant type, 21 cases; and equally mixed type, 9 cases. There were no tumors with apparent mucinous cells. There were 8 tumors with prominent cystic change, 2 of which presented apocrine-like decapitated secretion. CRTC1-MAML2 fusion was detected in 10 of the 39 tumors (26%) and CRTC3-MAML2 fusion in 2 of the 39 (5%) by RT-PCR. MAML2 gene rearrangement was detected in 11 of 27 fusion gene–negative cases by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Moreover, neither the fusion genes nor gene rearrangement was detected in prominent cystic tumors and poroid hidradenomas. We conclude that CRTC1/3-MAML2 fusion gene analysis can be a useful method for diagnosing hidradenoma. Considering the histological and genetic similarity to mucoepidermoid carcinoma, hidradenoma may be a cutaneous counterpart of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma..

Materials and methods We analyzed 47 consecutive patients with resectable advanced gastric cancer preoperatively evaluated by multiphasic dynamic contrast-enhanced CT. Two radiologists independently reviewed the CT images and they determined the peak enhancement phase, and then measured the CT attenuation value of the gastric lesion for each phase. The histological types of gastric cancers were assigned to three groups as differentiated-type, undifferentiated-type, and mixed-type. We compared the peak enhancement phase of the three types and compared the CT attenuation values in each phase. Results The peak enhancement was significantly different between the three types of gastric cancers for both readers (reader 1, p = 0.001; reader 2, p = 0.009); most of the undifferentiated types had peak enhancement in the delayed phase. The CT attenuation values of undifferentiated type were significantly higher than those of differentiated or mixed type in the delayed phase according to both readers (reader 1, p = 0.002; reader 2, p = 0.004). Conclusion CE-CTG could provide helpful information in diagnosing the histological type of gastric cancers preoperatively..

The novel transplantation of an in vitro-generated liver bud might have therapeutic potential. In vivo and ex vivo methods for growing a liver bud are essential for paving the way for the clinical translation of liver bud transplantation. We herein report a novel transplantation method for liver buds that are grown in vivo involving orthotopic transplantation on the transected parenchyma of the liver, which showed long engraftment and marked growth in comparison to heterotopic transplantation. Furthermore, this study demonstrates a method for rapidly fabricating scalable liver-like tissue by fusing hundreds of liver bud-like spheroids using a 3D bioprinter. Its system to fix the shape of the 3D tissue with the needle-array system enabled the fabrication of elaborate geometry and the immediate execution of culture circulation after 3D printing-thereby avoiding an ischemic environment ex vivo. The ex vivo-fabricated human liver-like tissue exhibited self-tissue organization ex vivo and engraftment on the liver of nude rats. These achievements conclusively show both in vivo and ex vivo methods for growing in vitro-generated liver buds. These methods provide a new approach for in vitro-generated liver organoids transplantation..

Here we report the expression of PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in surgically resected gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: We examined formalin-fixed tumor samples from 144 gastric cancer patients with a primary diagnosis of gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect PD-L1. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss of heterozygosity were investigated in these patients. RNA interference was used to downregulate HER2 expression, and PD-L1 protein expression was assessed by flow cytometry using the gastric cancer cell line MKN45. Results: Overexpression of PD-L1 was significantly correlated with tumor invasion (p = 0.011) and associated with poor survival. The number of PD-L1-positive cases increased according to the HER2 score in clinical samples. siRNA-mediated downregulation of HER2 significantly decreased PD-L1 protein expression in MKN45 cells. Conclusions: PD-L1 expression was associated with poor survival of gastric cancer, and HER2 signaling affects the expression of PD-L1 in gastric cancer. In gastric cancer, PTEN and HER2 are potential candidate biomarkers for developing human antibodies that block PD-L1..

report of a case and insights into how to reach the diagnosis using limited samples and resources, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.05.024, 70, 92-97, 2017.12, SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma is a recently proposed new entity of soft tissue sarcomas with an undifferentiated round cell morphology that is diagnostically challenging. Here we report a case of this tumor where the diagnosis was established using limited samples and resources. A woman in her early 30s developed two intrathoracic masses. Biopsies for these lesions showed sheets of undifferentiated round/rhabdoid cells that retained SMARCB1 expression. Further analysis revealed a reduced SMARCA4 expression and a complete loss of SMARCA2 expression in tumor cells. Subsequent Sanger sequencing identified a nonsense c.1546A>T (p.516Lys>Ter) mutation in SMARCA4 and confirmed the diagnosis. Our case highlighted clinicopathological correlation and rational use of tissue sections for immunohistochemistry may enable to diagnose this tumor even when only limited samples are available. Recognition of this new entity is important for further understanding of the disease and the future development of specific therapies..

The efficacy of pazopanib for the patient with lingual ASPS has yet to be reported.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 23-year old man presented with articulation disorder and swelling of the tongue. Diagnosis of lingual ASPS was made after incisional biopsy and complete excision of the mass was performed. Three months later, he presented with a protruding mental region.
DIAGNOSES: Computed tomography revealed mental region mass and lung metastasis.
INTERVENTIONS: After the failure of combination therapy of doxorubicin and ifosfamide, pazopanib was administered.
OUTCOMES: Shrinkage of both the mental region and lung mass continued for more than two months, but regrowth was confirmed at the fourth month.
LESSONS: Lingual ASPS is an exceedingly rare subset of ASPS with distinct molecular and histological characteristics and appropriate therapy remains to be established. Our findings suggest a possible therapeutic strategy for lingual ASPS..

In present study, we evaluated the metabolic characteristics of lung cancer by using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) with regard to PD-L1 protein expression. PD-L1 protein expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry with the antibody clone SP142 in 579 surgically resected primary lung cancer patients. Cases with less than 5% tumor membrane staining were considered negative. We examined the association between the frequency of PD-L1 protein expression and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in preoperative 18F-FDG PET/CT. The cut-off values for SUVmax were determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. The SUVmax was significantly higher in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with PD-L1 protein expression compared with those without PD-L1 protein expression (P 18F-FDG PET/CT was a predictor of PD-L1 protein expression in patients with NSCLC..

Case report and brief literature review, Anticancer Research, 10.21873/anticanres.12005, 37, 10, 5687-5691, 2017.10, Background: The incidence of skeletal muscle metastasis from oesophageal cancer is very low, and the treatment strategy has not been established. Case Report: A 77-year-old man underwent oesophagectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (CT-pT3 N0 M0, CT-pStage II). Fourteen months after surgery, he became aware of a subcutaneous tumour in his left forearm. Computed tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography revealed a 65×75 mm intramuscular nodular lesion with a standardized uptake value of 8.5. Further examination by biopsy strongly suggested this was a solitary metastasis from oesophageal cancer. The patient received chemoradiotherapy with two cycles of 5- fluorouracil combined with cisplatin and radiation. Clinical complete response was confirmed by imaging 7 months after chemoradiation and no recurrence has occurred at 20 months since chemoradiation. Conclusion: Radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy can be an alternative locoregional therapy to surgery for solitary skeletal muscle metastasis..

A case report, Pathology Research and Practice, 10.1016/j.prp.2017.06.001, 213, 10, 1322-1326, 2017.10, Combined primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PHNEC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very rare malignant hepatic tumor. Its prognosis and histological features are uncertain. Here we report the case of such a tumor in a 70-year-old male Japanese patient with adverse prognosis. The patient underwent a right hepatic lobectomy for a tumor mass that measured 11 × 10 cm in diameter located in the right lobe of the liver, treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and percutaneous transhepatic portal vein embolization (PTPE) therapy five weeks before the operation. Histologically, the hepatic tumor was composed of predominantly HCC and admixed with a small part of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). The NEC component was distributed as a collision-type tumor separated by fibrous bands from HCC and the combined-type tumor, focally intermingling with HCC. One month after the surgery, metastasis to abdominal lymph nodes and the lumbar vertebra was detected. Although the additional treatments of systematic chemotherapy and radiation therapy were performed, the patient died 3 months after the initial surgery..

In particular, the effect of nivolumab on the PD-L1 expression has never been reported. We investigated the changes in PD-L1 expression after chemotherapy and nivolumab treatment and herein describe the detailed clinical course. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively examined the PD-L1 expression in resected specimens and in the re-biopsy specimens of patients with non-small cell lung cancer by immunohistochemical analysis. Results: Four patients underwent a re-biopsy after treatment. Of those, three showed positive conversion of the PD-L1 expression. One patient underwent a re-biopsy after chemotherapy and nivolumab treatment, and the other two cases underwent a re-biopsy after chemotherapy, radiotherapy and nivolumab treatment. Conclusion: These cases suggest the positive conversion of PD-L1 expression after treatments including nivolumab, suggesting that PD-L1 expression must be assessed in not only the resected specimens, but also in the re-biopsied ones..

Fibrosarcomatous (FS) component is a high-grade component of DFSP. The detailed oncogenic difference between DFSP and FS components is not clear. We thus investigated the Akt-mTOR pathway in both components. We used 65 tumor samples obtained from 65 patients. The phosphorylation of Akt-mTOR pathway proteins (Akt, mTOR, 4EBP1, and S6RP) and PDGFRα/β was assessed by immunohistochemical staining, the results of which were confirmed by Western blotting. The immunohistochemical results were as follows: in ordinary DFSP components, p-PDGFRα–positive tumors were 41.9% (18/43 cases), p-PDGFRβ 55.8% (24/43 cases), p-Akt 51.2% (22/43 cases), p-mTOR 39.5% (17/43 cases), p-4EBP1 46.5% (20/43 cases), and p-S6RP 41.8% (18/43 cases); in DFSP components of FS-DFSP, 52.6% (10/19 cases), 47.4% (9/19 cases), 52.6% (10/19 cases), 36.8% (7/19 cases), 52.6% (10/19 cases), and 52.6% (10/19 cases); and in FS components, 45.5% (10/22 cases), 36.4% (8/22 cases), 72.7% (16/22 cases), 54.5% (12/22 cases), 72.7% (16/22 cases), and 68.2% (15/22 cases), respectively. There were significant positive correlations of the phosphorylation of most of the Akt-mTOR pathway proteins (p-Akt, p-mTOR, p-4EBP1, and p-S6RP) with each other (P <.05 phospho-pdgfr was well correlated with the phosphorylation of akt-mtor pathway proteins in dfsp components ordinary and fs-dfsps but these correlations were weaker fs components. this study suggested association activation pdgfr progression to fs. is thus a potential therapeutic target imatinib-resistant id="gencho_ronbuns10043954" class="qir_handle_link">

Seventy patients (19.0%) were positive for PD-L1 expression. Thirty-six (44.4%) and 29 (58.0%) of 81 and 50 patients with EB and cancer adjoining EB, respectively, were positive for PD-L1 expression. EB-associated lung adenocarcinomas express PD-L1 protein more frequently than those without EB. Objective Emphysematous bullae (EB) are known to be associated with a high incidence of lung cancer; however, the reason for this has yet to be elucidated. The objective of the present study was to clarify the prevalence of programmed death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in EB-associated lung adenocarcinomas. Patients and Methods A total of 369 patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma whose preoperative computed tomography findings were available for the examination of EB were analyzed for PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry and evaluated to determine the association between PD-L1 expression and EB-related adenocarcinomas. Results Among 369 patients, EB and cancer adjoining EB (Ca-ADJ) were identified in 81 (22.0%) and 50 (13.6%) patients, respectively. EB and Ca-ADJ were significantly associated with male gender, a smoking habit, a decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 second, a relatively higher tumor grade, advanced T status and stage, the presence of pleural and vessel invasion, invasive pathologic subtypes, and wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor. Seventy patients (19.0%) were positive for PD-L1 expression, whereas the remaining 299 patients (81.0%) were negative. Thirty-six (44.4%) and 29 (58.0%) of 81 and 50 patients with EB and Ca-ADJ, respectively, were positive for PD-L1 expression, which was shown to be significant by the Fisher exact test (P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). Among the 81 lung adenocarcinomas with EB, Ca-ADJ was significantly associated with PD-L1 expression (P = .021). In a multivariate analysis, the presence of Ca-ADJ was found to be an independent predictor of PD-L1 expression. Conclusions EB-associated lung adenocarcinomas express PD-L1 protein more frequently than those without EB..

A case report, Journal of Thoracic Disease, 10.21037/jtd.2017.07.94, 9, 9, E797-E800, 2017.09, A tracheal metastasis (TM) from non-pulmonary malignancy is extremely rare, and there are very few reports regarding TM. Here, we report a case of the successful tracheal resection of TM of colorectal cancer. A 36-year-old man underwent a surgical resection for the rectal cancer. Approximately 5 years after the surgical resection of the primary rectal cancer, an isolated TM was identified. The patient was successfully treated with a tracheal resection. In conclusion, the current case suggested that the best treatment of the isolated TM might be a surgical resection..

its utility as a target for immunotherapy and diagnostic marker combined with NY-ESO-1, Virchows Archiv, 10.1007/s00428-017-2206-z, 471, 3, 383-392, 2017.09, Cancer-testis (CT) antigens have promise as targets for immunotherapy, because of their restricted expression in tumor or testis tissue. MAGEA4 is both a MAGE family member and a CT antigen, and has attracted attention as a potential immunotherapeutic target. We investigated MAGEA4 expression by immunohistochemistry in bone and soft tissue tumor specimens that consisted of 35 malignant or intermediate and 24 benign histological subtypes, in order to evaluate its possible utility as an immunotherapy target and its potential use as a diagnostic marker when combined with another CT antigen, NY-ESO-1. Among these tumors, MAGEA4 was detected in 82.2% of synovial sarcomas, 67.7% of myxoid liposarcomas, 43.8% of osteosarcomas, 41.4% of angiosarcomas, 24.6% of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), and 21.4% of chondrosarcomas. NY-ESO-1 expression was found in 88.2% of myxoid liposarcomas, 61.1% of synovial sarcomas, 31.3% of osteosarcomas, 21.4% of pleomorphic liposarcomas, 16.7% of desmoplastic small round cell tumors, and 14.3% of chondrosarcomas. Benign tumors and non-tumorous tissue, except for testis tissue, did not express MAGEA4 or NY-ESO-1. Combined use of MAGEA4 and NY-ESO-1 increased the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values for distinguishing synovial sarcoma from spindle cell tumors and other mimicking tumors, compared to individual use of MAGEA4 or NY-ESO-1. Our results support the immunotherapy targeting MAGEA4 or NY-ESO-1 can be an ancillary therapy in the above-mentioned tumors, and the potential utility of MAGEA4 as an ancillary diagnostic marker for synovial sarcoma combined with NY-ESO-1..

From a morphological to a molecular biological approach, Pathology International, 10.1111/pin.12565, 67, 9, 435-446, 2017.09, Recently developed molecular genetic techniques have led to the elucidation of tumor-specific genomic alterations and thereby the reclassification of tumor entities of soft tissue sarcoma. A solitary fibrous tumor-mimicking tumor with the AHRR-NCOA2 gene has been isolated as angiofibroma of soft tissue. As for small round cell sarcomas, novel fusion genes such as CIC-DUX4 and BCOR-CCNB3 have been identified in these tumor groups. SMARCB1/INI1 deficient tumors with round cell morphology are also expected to be reclassified in three types, based on the combination of their morphology and genotype. The identification of the MDM2 gene amplification in pleomorphic sarcomas has extended the entity of dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS). Our recent molecular investigations elucidated candidates for novel therapeutic strategies. Activation of the Akt-mTOR pathway was correlated with poor prognosis or tumor grade in spindle cell sarcomas including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. In vitro and in vivo studies of transcription factor Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) demonstrated the close correlation between aggressive biological behavior or chemosensitivity and FOXM1 expression in synovial sarcoma, so far. Finally, in regard to the investigation of cancer-testis antigens, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and synovial sarcoma showed frequent and high expression of PRAME and NY-ESO-1..

The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical characteristics of patients with circumportal pancreases undergoing pancreatectomy. Methods The medical records of 508 patients who underwent pancreatectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The prevalence of circumportal pancreas and related anatomical variations were assessed. Surgical procedures and postoperative outcomes were compared in patients with and without circumportal pancreas. Results Circumportal pancreas was observed in 9 of the 508 patients (1.7%). In all nine patients, the portal vein was completely encircled by the pancreatic parenchyma above the level of the splenoportal junction, and the main pancreatic duct ran dorsal to the portal vein. The rate of variant hepatic artery did not differ significantly in patients with and without circumportal pancreas. Pancreatic fistula developed more frequently in patients with than without circumportal pancreas (44% vs. 14%, p = 0.03), but other clinical parameters did not differ significantly in these two groups. Conclusions Despite being rare, circumportal pancreas may increase the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients undergoing pancreatectomy. However, a prospective, large-cohort study is necessary to determine the real incidence of relevant anatomical variations and the definitive clinical significance of this rare anomaly..

Patients and Methods: Twenty-one NSCLC patients who underwent surgery or biopsy for paired primary and metastatic lesions at our Institution from 2005 to 2016 were analyzed. Lesions with the PD-L1 expression being 5% were considered PD-L1-positive. Results: The metastatic sites included the brain (n=16), adrenal gland (n=3), spleen (n=1) and jejunum (n=1). Negative conversion of the primary PD-L1-positive NSCLC and positive conversion of the primary PD-L1-negative NSCLC were observed in 3 (14%) and 2 (10%) cases, respectively. Radiotherapy for the metastatic brain lesion before its resection showed a significant relationship with the positive conversion of the primary PD-L1-negative NSCLC (p=0.048). Conclusion: Radiotherapy-derived effects may contribute to the positive conversion of the primary PD-L1-negative NSCLC..

report of 2 infantile cases and review of the differential diagnosis of infantile pulmonary lesions, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.06.013, 66, 177-182, 2017.08, We report 2 infantile cases of pulmonary tumor carrying a chimeric A2M-ALK gene. A2M-ALK is a newly identified anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)–related chimeric gene from a tumor diagnosed as fetal lung interstitial tumor (FLIT). FLIT is a recently recognized infantile pulmonary lesion defined as a mass-like lesion that morphologically resembles the fetal lung. Grossly, FLIT characteristically appears as a well-circumscribed spongy mass, whereas the tumors in these patients were solid and firm. Histologically, the tumors showed intrapulmonary lesions composed of densely proliferating polygonal or spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells with diffuse and dense infiltrations of inflammatory cells forming microcystic or micropapillary structures lined by thyroid transcription factor 1–positive pneumocytes, favoring inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor rather than FLIT. The proliferating cells were immunoreactive for ALK, and A2M-ALK was identified in both tumors with reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The dense infiltration of inflammatory cells, immunoreactivity for ALK, and identification of an ALK-related chimeric gene suggested a diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Histologically, most reported FLITs show sparse inflammatory infiltrates and a relatively low density of interstitial cells in the septa, although prominent infiltration of inflammatory cells and high cellularity of interstitial cells are seen in some FLITs. The present cases suggest that ALK rearrangements, including the chimeric A2M-ALK gene, may be present in these infantile pulmonary lesions, especially those with inflammatory cell infiltration. We propose that these infantile pulmonary lesions containing a chimeric A2M-ALK gene be categorized as a specific type of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that develops exclusively in neonates and infants..

Previous studies indicated that MTH1 is associated with tumor proliferation and invasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines; however, the role of MTH1 in patients with NSCLC remains unclear. Materials and Methods Two patient cohorts that underwent surgery for NSCLC in our institution were investigated retrospectively. In one cohort consisting of 197 patients, the associations between MTH1 expression and clinicopathological factors or prognosis were analyzed. In another cohort consisting of 41 patients, the relationship between MTH1 expression in the tumors and serum oxidative stress levels (evaluated by the diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites [d-ROMs] test) or antioxidant capacity in the patients (evaluated by the biological antioxidant potential (BAP) test) was analyzed. A total of 238 patients were assessed for MTH1 protein levels using immunohistochemistry. Results Among the 197 patients in the former cohort, 111 (56.3%) exhibited high MTH1 expression, while 86 (43.7%) exhibited low MTH1 expression. Male sex, smoking habit of ≥20 pack-years, squamous cell carcinoma, pathological stage ≥ II, tumor diameter ≥30 mm, lymph node metastases, pleural invasion, lymphatic permeation and vascular infiltration were significantly associated with high MTH1 expression (p

Possible association with PD-L1 expression, PLoS One, 10.1371/journal.pone.0181598, 12, 7, 2017.07, Interleukin (IL)-38, a novel member of the IL-1 cytokine family, is homologous to IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and IL-36Ra, and has been reported to act as an antagonist. IL-38 expression is found in tonsil, placenta, and spleen, and recent studies suggest an association between IL-38 and autoimmune diseases. However, whether IL-38 plays a role in carcinogenesis or cancer growth is unclear. In the present study, we identified increases in IL-38 expression by immunohistochemistry in multiple types of cancer cells. In the examination of 417 surgically resected primary lung adenocarcinomas, Fisher’s exact tests showed significant associations between high IL-38 expression and high tumor grades, an advanced T status, advanced N status, advanced stage, and the presence of pleural and vessel invasions. Survival analyses by the Kaplan-Meier method showed that patients with high expression of IL-38 had significantly shorter disease-free survival and shorter overall survival after surgery than patients with low expression of IL-38 (log-rank test: P = 0.0021 and P = 0.0035, respectively). Moreover, programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive cases showed higher expression of IL-38 than PD-L1-negative cases (Wilcoxon rank-sum test: P

The pathogenesis of ischemic fasciitis is thought to be based on ischemic condition; however, it has never been demonstrated. In this study, we examined the expression of ischemia-associated proteins in ischemic fasciitis by immunohistochemical and genetic methods. Specifically, this study aimed to reveal the expression of HIF-1α, MDM2, CDK4, p16, and gene amplification of MDM2 gene. Seven cases of ischemic fasciitis from among the soft-tissue tumors registered at our institution were retrieved. Histopathological findings were as follows: poorly demarcated nodular masses, a proliferation of spindle-shaped fibroblastic or myofibroblastic cells with oval nuclei and eosinophilic or pale cytoplasm, zonal fibrinous deposition, pseudocystic degeneration, granulation-like proliferation of capillary vessels, ganglion-like cells, myxoid or hyalinized stroma, and chronic inflammatory infiltration. Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells were positive for HIF-1α (7/7 cases), MDM2 (4/7 cases), CDK4 (4/7 cases), p16 (7/7 cases), p53 (2/7 case), cyclin D1 (7/7 cases), and alpha-smooth muscle actin (6/7 cases). Neither MDM2 gene amplification nor USP6 gene split signal was detected in any case. Overexpression of the above proteins may be associated with the pathogenic mechanism of ischemic fasciitis. It is noted that the immunohistochemical positivity of MDM2, CDK4, and p16 do not necessarily indicate malignant neoplasm such as dedifferentiated liposarcoma..

Tetsuyuki Miyazaki, Yoshihiro Ohishi, Yoshihiro Miyasaka, Yasunori Oda, Shinichi Aishima, Keigo Ozono, Atsushi Abe, Eishi Nagai, Masafumi Nakamura, Yoshinao Oda, Molecular Characteristics of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinomas with High-Grade Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PanIN) Are Different from Those without High-Grade PanIN, Pathobiology, 10.1159/000455194, 84, 4, 192-201, 2017.07, We reported that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) without high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) in the vicinity had worse prognoses than PDACs with high-grade PanIN. However, the molecular characteristics of PDACs with and without high-grade PanIN have not been compared. The aim of this study is to clarify the molecular characteristics of PDACs with and without high-grade PanIN. Method and Results: We reviewed all of a consecutive series of 100 patients with PDACs and divided them into 2 groups: The PDACs with PanIN-2 or PanIN-3 in the background (the PanIN-high group, n = 60) and the PDACs without PanIN-2 or PanIN-3 in the background (the PanIN-low group, n = 40). We evaluated the p53, p16, and SMAD4 expressions in the invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) components by immunohistochemical staining. KRAS mutation was also analyzed in 80 tumors. The PanIN-low group showed significantly more frequent "high p53 expression" and "loss of SMAD4 expression" than the PanIN-high group (p = 0.048 and p = 0.019, respectively). Loss of p16 expression was not significantly different between the groups. The rate of KRAS wild type was significantly higher in the PanIN-low group than the PanIN-high group (p = 0.024). Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that the molecular characteristics in the PDACs with high-grade PanIN were different from those in the PDACs without high-grade PanIN. PDACs without high-grade PanIN may develop via a pathway other than the PanIN-carcinoma sequence..

Solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 1, known as glucose transporter type 1 (SLC2A1/GLUT1) mediates cellular glucose uptake in many carcinomas and is correlated with increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake. We examined SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression in the mural nodules of 180 IPMN specimens to distinguish malignant/benign tumors. A mural nodule was detected in 80 (44.4%) of the IPMNs, and was detected in 18.6% (13/70) of the IPMN-low (dysplasia) specimens, 36.1% (13/36) of the IPMN-int, 93.3% (28/30) of the IPMN-high, and 59.1% (26/44) of the IPMN-inv (with an associated invasive carcinoma) specimens. The sensitivity for detecting mural nodules was 81.7% by endoscopic ultrasonography, 70% by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and 54% by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression in the mural nodules was recognized in the basal and basolateral cytomembrane of tumor cells and was expressed in 15.4% (2/13) of the IPMN-low, 15.4% (2/13) of the IPMN-int, 71.4% (20/28) of the IPMN-high and 84.6% (22/26) of the IPMN-inv groups. The SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression was significantly higher in the IPMN-high and IPMN-inv mural nodules than in those of the IPMN-low and IPMN-int groups. Our findings suggest that SLC2A1/GLUT1 is expressed late in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence during carcinogenesis in IPMN, and SLC2A1/GLUT1 act as therapeutic target for malignant IPMN..

Daisuke Imai, Tomoharu Yoshizumi, Shinji Okano, Hideaki Uchiyama, Toru Ikegami, Norifumi Harimoto, shinji itoh, Yuji Soejima, Shinichi Aishima, Yoshinao Oda, Yoshihiko Maehara, The prognostic impact of programmed cell death ligand 1 and human leukocyte antigen class I in pancreatic cancer, Cancer Medicine, 10.1002/cam4.1087, 6, 7, 1614-1626, 2017.07, Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is associated with an immunosuppressive tumor-microenvironment (TME) that supports the growth of tumors and mediates tumors enabling evasion of the immune system. Expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and loss of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I on tumor cells are methods by which tumors escape immunosurveillance. We examined immune cell infiltration, the expression of PD-L1 and HLA class I by PDA cells, and the correlation between these immunological factors and clinical prognosis. PDA samples from 36 patients were analyzed for HLA class I, HLA-DR, PD-L1, PD-1, CD4, CD8, CD56, CD68, and FoxP3 expression by immunohistochemistry. The correlations between the expression of HLA class I, HLA-DR, PD-L1 or PD-1 and the pattern of tumor infiltrating immune cells or the patients’ prognosis were assessed. PD-L1 expression correlated with tumor infiltration by CD68+ and FoxP3+ cells. Low HLA class I expression was an only risk factor for poor survival. PD-L1 negative and HLA class I high-expressing PDA was significantly associated with higher numbers of infiltrating CD8+ T cells in the TME, and a better prognosis. Evaluation of both PD-L1 and HLA class I expression by PDA may be a good predictor of prognosis for patients. HLA class I expression by tumor cells should be evaluated when selecting PDA patients who may be eligible for treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapies..

We report a case of a 63-year-old man with a collision tumor of epithelioid angiosarcoma and adrenocortical adenoma of the right adrenal gland. The adrenal tumor was incidentally observed by a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan of penis squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a right laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and the tumor size measured 34 × 34 × 15 mm. Histological examination revealed two different tumor cell proliferations, namely epithelioid angiosarcoma and adrenocortical adenoma. He had no symptoms or abnormality in his endocrine studies, so the adrenocortical adenoma was considered non-functioning. Three months after the adrenalectomy, bilateral pleural metastasis was observed by CT scan and pleural biopsy. Paclitaxel monotherapy was performed, and the tumor retreated. The patient died one and a half years after the adrenalectomy, but the cause of death was believed to be another disease (metastatic penis squamous cell carcinoma). To the best of our knowledge, this is the fourth report of primary adrenal angiosarcoma combined with adrenocortical adenoma..

Hirofumi Bekki, Hidetaka Yamamoto, Katsumi Takizawa, Takeshi Iwasaki, Hiroshi Otsuka, Yuichi Yamada, Kenichi Kouhashi, Katsumi Harimaya, Yukihide Iwamoto, Yoshinao Oda, Claudin 6 expression is useful to distinguish myxofibrosarcomas from other myxoid soft tissue tumors, Pathology Research and Practice, 10.1016/j.prp.2016.12.001, 213, 6, 674-679, 2017.06, Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is characterized by abundant myxoid stroma, a wide spectrum of cytological atypia, and frequent local recurrence. Some soft tissue tumors with myxoid stroma can histologically mimic MFS, but have different biological behaviors. Here we sought to identify a useful diagnostic marker for MFS. After our analysis of the gene expression dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we focused on claudin 6 (CLDN 6). The status of CLDN 6 was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 61 samples of MFS and other (benign) myxoid soft tissue tumors (28 myxoma samples, 12 nodular fasciitis samples), 18 low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, 30 myxoid liposarcoma, 29 extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma and 27 dedifferentiated liposarcoma with myxoid feature samples. The correlation between the expression of CLDN 6 and clinicopathological findings in MFS was also investigated. Immunohistochemically, high expression of CLDN 6 was observed in approx. 65% of the MFSs, whereas the benign soft tissue tumors did not show a high expression of CLDN 6. The expression of CLDN 6 in the MFS was significantly higher than those of other tumor specimens. Among the MFSs, the high expression of CLDN 6 was correlated with high FNCLCC grades and high AJCC stages. CLDN 6 may be useful for the differential diagnosis from benign myxoid tumor and for predicting the aggressive biological behavior of MFS..

Huanlin Wang, Kenichi Kouhashi, Tomoharu Yoshizumi, Yukihiko Okumura, Yuki Tanaka, Masahiro Shimokawa, Takeshi Iwasaki, Shinichi Aishima, Yoshihiko Maehara, Yoshinao Oda, Coexpression of SALL4 with HDAC1 and/or HDAC2 is associated with underexpression of PTEN and poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.03.007, 64, 69-75, 2017.06, Spalt-like transcriptional factor 4 (SALL4), a stem marker, is reactivated in several cancers. A previous study has demonstrated that SALL4 interacts with the nucleosome remodeling deacetylase complex, which contains histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2). In this study, we investigated the expression status of SALL4, HDAC1, and HDAC2 and their relationship with phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) by immunohistochemical analysis of the posthepatectomy specimens of 135 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who were treated at our hospital. Ninety-two frozen samples were subjected to quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis to detect the messenger RNA levels of PTEN. Seventy-six (56%) of 135 patients were positive for SALL4, and this group had a higher prevalence of hepatitis B antigen, a higher value of α-fetoprotein (AFP) and protein induced by vitamin K absence (PIVKAII) and poor histologic differentiation. The 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in the SALL4-positive group. High HDAC1 expression (51%) was correlated with a poor histologic differentiation and a poor prognosis. High HDAC2 expression (46%) was associated with a higher prevalence of hepatitis B antigen positivity, a poor histologic differentiation and higher prevalence of vascular invasion, and a lower 5-year survival rate. Coexpression of SALL4 with HDAC1 and/or HDAC2 was correlated with underexpression of PTEN. Moreover, multivariable analysis revealed that coexpression of SALL4 with HDAC1 and/or HDAC2 was predictive of an unfavorable prognosis. Our data thus suggested that the combination of SALL4, HDAC1, and HDAC2 may provide a potential target for molecular therapy..

Takeaki Ishii, Kenichi Kouhashi, Hiroshi Ootsuka, Kunio Iura, Akira Maekawa, Yuichi Yamada, Hirofumi Bekki, Masato Yoshimoto, Hidetaka Yamamoto, Yukihide Iwamoto, Yoshinao Oda, Comparison between retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma, Pathology Research and Practice, 10.1016/j.prp.2017.04.022, 213, 6, 634-638, 2017.06, It is important to distinguish between leiomyosarcoma (LMS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS) in the retroperitoneum. The dedifferentiated component of DDLS shows an LMS-like morphology in some cases; thus, detailed evaluation is necessary to achieve an accurate diagnosis. Immunohistochemically, MDM2 and myogenic markers provide clues for the diagnoses. However, immunoreactivity for MDM2 and myogenic markers has not been well studied in retroperitoneal LMS and DDLS. Here, we compared the clinicopathological data of 20 retroperitoneal tumors initially diagnosed as LMS with that of 36 cases of retroperitoneal DDLS and conducted an immunohistochemical study. Four (20%) of the cases initially diagnosed as LMS were immunoreactive for MDM2. Fifteen cases (41.7%) of DDLS showed positive expression of two or more myogenic markers. The patients with LMS with MDM2 overexpression were older than the patients with LMS without MDM2 overexpression (P = 0.0328). LMS with MDM2 overexpression showed a worse prognosis than DDLS (P = 0.0408). No significant difference in prognosis was found between LMS without MDM2 overexpression and DDLS with myogenic differentiation. In conclusion, we recommend that systemic MDM2 expression analysis be performed in cases of retroperitoneal sarcoma. Overdependence on the expression of myogenic markers could lead to misdiagnosis in distinguishing LMS from DDLS..

Murasaki Aman, Yoshihiro Ohishi, Hiroko Imamura, Tomoko Shinozaki, Nobuko Yasutake, Kiyoko Kato, Yoshinao Oda, Expression of protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) is related to advanced clinical stage and adverse prognosis in ovarian clear cell carcinoma, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.04.008, 64, 156-163, 2017.06, Recent studies demonstrated that protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) correlates with tumor progression in various tissues. On the other hand, oxidative stress arising from endometriosis has been considered a cause of carcinogenesis in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). We previously demonstrated that oxidative stress up-regulates PAR-2 expression, and we conducted the present study to investigate the PAR-2 expression and its relation to clinicopathological factors and oxidative stress in OCCC. We performed an immunohistochemical evaluation in 95 cases of OCCC. For the evaluation of oxidative stress markers, 31 cases of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) were also examined. No significant differences in the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase were observed between OCCC and OEC. Sixty-two percent of the OCCC cases showed high 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine expression, whereas all of the OEC cases showed almost negative immunoreactivities. The presence of endometriosis did not affect the expression of these oxidative stress markers or prognosis. High PAR-2 expression was observed in 20% (14/71) of the early International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage cases and 58% (14/24) of the advanced FIGO stage cases. High PAR-2 expression was significantly correlated with advanced FIGO stage and shorter overall survival. We found no correlations between PAR-2 expression and oxidative stress in OCCC. Our results suggest that PAR-2 plays an important role in the progression of OCCC. The expression of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine is a characteristic finding of OCCC, indicating that the injury of DNA by oxidative stress may be involved in the carcinogenesis of OCCC..

The deubiquitinase USP44 is an important regulator of APC activation in the spindle checkpoint and leads to proper chromosome separation to prevent aneuploidy. Aberrant expression of USP44 leads CIN in cells; however, the correlation between USP44 and DNA aneuploidy in gastric cancer is largely unknown. We analyzed USP44 expression in 207 patients with gastric cancer by immunohistochemistry and found that the proportion of USP44 expression was higher in gastric cancer tumors (mean, 39.6%) than in gastric normal mucosa (mean, 14.6%) (P

However, due to the rarity of the disease and the lack of defining histological criteria, the concept of IHG is not widely accepted. We studied paraffin-embedded intestinal specimens from 79 patients diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) (n = 49), CIHG (n = 25), and AIHG (n = 5) collected between January 1996 and December 2015. Histopathological diagnosis of HD, CIHG, and AIHG was confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining using Hu C/D and CD56. We evaluated (immuno)histopathological findings, counted the number of ganglion cells, and measured the size of Auerbach’s plexus. Hu C/D labeled neuronal cell bodies, whereas CD56 was detected in all neuronal components. In HD, all ganglion cells in Auerbach’s plexus in the normoganglionic segment (NGS) were immunoreactive for Hu C/D, whereas in the aganglionic segment (AGS), these were replaced by CD56-positive extrinsic nerve fibers and bundles. The number of ganglion cells in AIHG and CIHG was significantly lower than in the NGS of HD (p

Grossly, the tumor was solid and cystic. Histologically, the tumor consisted of a papillary-cystic, micropapillary, or focally cribriform proliferations of epithelial cells with low-grade cytological atypia. The interspaces between the epithelial components were filled with prominent lymphoid stroma and lymphoid follicles, superficially mimicking Warthin tumor. The neoplastic epithelial cells were positive for S100 protein by immunohistochemical staining. There was an attenuated layer of myoepithelial cells all around the epithelial components, indicating a non-invasive (in situ) nature. Although TALP is a rare finding in intraductal carcinoma, it should be considered as a histological variation of this kind of tumor. The relationship between intraductal carcinoma, low-grade cribriform cystadenocarcinoma, low-grade salivary duct carcinoma, and salivary duct carcinoma in situ is also discussed in this report..

Methods: This study collected 46 resected cases. All cases were examined by dynamic contrast study on multidetector-row CT. Region-of-interest measurements were obtained at the non-enhanced, portal venous phase and delayed phase in the tumour and were used to calculate the washout ratio as follows: [(attenuation value at portal venous phase CT − attenuation value at delayed enhanced CT)/(attenuation value at portal venous phase CT − attenuation value at unenhanced CT)] × 100. On the basis of the median washout ratio, we classified the cases into two groups, a high-washout group and low-washout group. Associations between overall survival and various factors including washout rates were analysed. Results: The median washout ratio was 29.4 %. Univariate analysis revealed that a lower washout ratio, venous invasion, lymphatic permeation and lymph node metastasis were associated with shorter survival. Multivariate analysis identified the lower washout ratio as an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 3.768; p value, 0.027). Conclusions: The washout ratio obtained from the contrast-enhanced CT may be a useful imaging biomarker for the prediction of survival of patients with EHC. Key points: • Dynamic contrast study can evaluate the aggressiveness of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. • A lower washout ratio was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. • CT can predict survival and inform decisions on surgical options or chemotherapy..

The gene promoter region of PD-L1 also contains a binding site for ZEB1, a transcription factor related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between PD-L1 and EMT and its clinical importance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PD-L1 and ZEB1 expression at the tumor invasive front was examined by immunohistochemistry in resected specimens from 90 patients with ESCC who underwent surgery without preoperative therapy, and their expression and clinicopathological factors were compared. ZEB1 and PD-L1 expression was determined in TE8 cells, which demonstrate the EMT phenotype, following ZEB1 knockdown by siZEB1. TE5, TE6 and TE11 cells with non-EMT phenotype were also used for studies of TGF-β1-dependent EMT induction and ZEB1 and PD-L1 expression. In cases of high PD-L1 expression at the invasive front, significantly greater depth of tumor invasion, EMT, and less CD8+ lymphocyte infiltration were observed. High PD-L1 expression was also associated with worse overall and relapse-free survival. A correlation was observed between PD-L1 and ZEB1 expression. In TE8 cells, siZEB1 suppressed PD-L1 and promoted E-cadherin mRNA and protein expression. TGF-β1 induced EMT and surface expression of PD-L1 in TE5, TE6 and TE11 cell lines. PD-L1 expression at the ESCC invasive front was related to ZEB1 expression, EMT and poor prognosis. We suggest that a cooperative mechanism bridging between tumor immune avoidance and EMT contributes to tumor malignancy in ESCC..

Methods In all, 292 patients with resected pathologic stage I adenocarcinoma were analyzed for PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry and evaluated to determine the association between PD-L1 expression and the radiologic/pathologic invasiveness. Specifically, the radiologic invasiveness and noninvasiveness were determined based on the consolidation/tumor ratio, with a cutoff value of 0.25 by thin-section computed tomography. Results Among 292 patients, 47 (16.1%) were positive for PD-L1 expression; the remaining 245 patients (83.9%) were negative for PD-L1 expression. Fisher's exact test demonstrated that PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with a higher consolidation/tumor ratio (p = 0.029) and higher maximum standardized uptake value (p = 0.004). The mean values of consolidation/tumor ratio and maximum standardized uptake in patients with and without PD-L1 expression were 0.845 ± 0.052 and 7.241 ± 0.795, and 0.607 ± 0.023 and 3.60 ± 0.364, respectively (p

However, it is not clear how PSCs are activated to produce these factors, or whether this process can be inhibited. PSCs have morphologic and functional similarities to hepatic stellate cells, which undergo autophagy to promote fibrosis and tumor growth. We investigated whether autophagy activates PSCs, which promotes development of the tumor stroma and growth of pancreatic tumors in mice. Methods We used immunofluorescence microscopy and immunohistochemistry to analyze pancreatic tumor specimens from 133 patients who underwent pancreatectomy in Japan from 2000 to 2009. PSCs were cultured from pancreatic tumor tissues or tissues of patients with chronic pancreatitis; these were analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy, immunoblots, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and in assays for invasiveness, proliferation, and lipid droplets. Autophagy was inhibited in PSCs by administration of chloroquine or transfection with small interfering RNAs. Proteins were knocked down in immortalized PSCs by expression of small hairpin RNAs. Cells were transplanted into pancreatic tails of nude mice, and tumor growth and metastasis were quantified. Results Based on immunohistochemical analyses, autophagy was significantly associated with tumor T category (P =.018), histologic grade (P =.001), lymph node metastases (P <.001 stage perilymphatic invasion and perivascular autophagy of pscs was associated with shorter survival times patients pancreatic cancer. psc expression microtubule-associated protein light chain a marker autophagosomes poor outcomes time disease recurrence for cancer risk immunoblots showed that from tumor samples expressed higher levels markers than chronic pancreatitis samples. inhibitors increased the number lipid droplets indicating quiescent state reduced their production ecm molecules interleukin as well proliferation invasiveness in culture. exposed to formed smaller tumors nude mice fewer liver metastases less peritoneal dissemination compared not inhibitors. conclusions autophagic produce are might reduce by altering stroma.. id="gencho_ronbuns10043981" class="qir_handle_link">

Background: IPMNs represent a pancreatic ductal cell field defect, which causes multiple occurrences of lesions. In addtion, it has been speculated that MD-IPMNs display features of monoclonal skip progression. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from fresh-frozen tissue samples of metachronous MD-IPMNs and nonneoplastic pancreas tissue from the same pancreas from two individuals, and whole human genome microarray analysis was performed. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from 28 distinct IPMNs were then collected from 12 patients, genomic DNA was extracted, and GNAS/KRAS mutational status was investigated. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to validate the expression pattern of the indicated proteins. Results: Microarray analysis revealed that metachronous MD-IPMNs from the same individual displayed pair-wise correlation coefficients of 0.9523 and 0.9512. In contrast, MD-IPMNs of the same histological grade from different individuals displayed coefficients of 0.8092 and 0.8211. Scatter plot analysis revealed that metachronous MD-IPMNs from the same individual displayed a closer linear relationship. Furthermore, heat map and hierarchical cluster analyses revealed that metachronous MD-IPMNs from the same individual were classified in the same branch, and the gene expression patterns were similar. The GNAS/KRAS mutational statuses of distinct MD-IPMNs were consistent with each other. Immunohistochemical assessment of five specific proteins demonstrated that the same expression pattern between two lesions was observed in 95% of the samples. Conclusions: These findings using molecular analyses indicate that MD-IPMNs might display features of monoclonal skip progression..

Phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) functions as a transcriptional factor, and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) is a potential inhibitor of STAT3. Here, we analyzed the status of the JAK-STAT pathway in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). Methods: We performed immunohistochemistry in 79 samples of UPS and Western blotting in 10 frozen samples. We also examined alterations in protein expression in the JAK-STAT pathway after the inhibition of phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-Erk) in vitro. Results: Immunohistochemically, p-STAT3 and SOCS3 were positive in 59.7 and 55.8%, respectively. Positivity for p-STAT3 was significantly correlated with a better prognosis (p = 0.0006) and negatively with SOCS3 expression (p = 0.0223). Positivity for SOCS3 was significantly correlated with a worse prognosis (p = 0.0001). Western blotting analysis revealed that p-STAT3 expression was lower in tumor than in normal tissue. In vitro results demonstrated that there was no detectable change in the expression of p-STAT3 regardless of the status of p-Akt or p-Erk. Conclusion: P-STAT3 may be a useful prognostic factor for UPS..

a clinicopathological study of 18 cases focusing on MDM2 amplification status, Human Pathology, 10.1016/j.humpath.2017.02.007, 63, 63-69, 2017.05, Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESOS) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm. Most ESOSs are high grade, although some low-grade cases have been reported. A few cases of ESOS with MDM2 amplification have also been reported, suggesting some similarity to skeletal low-grade osteosarcoma such as parosteal osteosarcoma, where MDM2 is often amplified. However, the frequency of low-grade cases and cases with MDM2 amplification among ESOSs remains unknown, and their relationship is unclear. To clarify this, we examined 18 primary ESOS cases clinically, pathologically, and genetically, focusing on their MDM2 amplification status. Our cases comprised 10 men and 8 women whose mean age was 58.6 years; the most common site of the lesion was the thigh and buttock. There were one histologically low-grade case evaluated by biopsy specimen with an aggressive course and 2 relatively low-grade cases whose lesions were of low grade for the most part. MDM2 amplification status was revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization in all 18 cases; 2 patients—histologically intermediate- and high-grade cases—were found to have MDM2 amplification. In conclusion, this study indicates that histologically low-grade and relatively low-grade cases of ESOS are not always associated with MDM2 amplification. The ESOS case with MDM2 amplification could be high grade, although MDM2-amplified dedifferentiated liposarcoma with osteogenic differentiation should be ruled out in making the diagnosis..

High FOXA1 expression indicates a good prognosis in ER-positive breast cancer. However, little is known about the significance of FOXA1 and GATA3 expression in neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NAE). The aim of this study is to investigate their predictive potential for NAE and their expression changes after NAE. Methods: FOXA1 and GATA3 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry in 66 patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer who had been treated with NAE. The association between biological marker expressions and the efficacy of NAE and their expression changes after NAE were analyzed. Results: The median pre-treatment FOXA1 and GATA3 expressions were 94.6 and 90 %. Pre-treatment FOXA1 expression was positively correlated with GATA3 (P = 0.0003) and progesterone receptor (PgR) (P = 0.0138). There was no correlation between pre- or post-treatment FOXA1 and GATA3 expressions and the efficacy of NAE. Post-treatment Ki67 expression was significantly lower in tumors with partial response (PR) (P = 0.0007).

Methods Peritoneal washing samples were collected from 411 consecutive patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from 1996 to 2014. Of the 411 patients, 335 underwent macroscopically curative resection and 76 with noncurative factors did not undergo resection. We compared long-term outcomes between patients with positive cytology (cytology+) and those with negative cytology (cytology−) and investigated the importance of clinicopathologic factors. Results Of 335 patients with curative resection, 300 (89.6%) were cytology− and 35 (10.4%) were cytology+. The median overall survival of cytology+ patients was less than that of cytology− patients (16 vs 31 months, respectively; P

Methods Thirty-five patients with suspected insulinoma who underwent 48-hour fasting test and GST were retrospectively included in our study: 15 patients with surgically proven insulinomas and 20 patients in whom insulinoma was clinically ruled out. We determined the duration of the fasting test, plasma glucose levels, serum levels of immunoreactive insulin and C-peptide, and insulin surrogates (serum levels of β-hydroxybutyrate, free fatty acid, and response of plasma glucose to intravenous glucagon [ΔPG]) at the end of the fast. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the 48-hour fasting test were 100.0% and 80.0%, respectively, for the diagnosis of insulinoma. When the 48-hour fasting test and immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide, or insulin surrogates were combined, the combination with GST showed the best results. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rate were 93.3%, 95.0%, and 94.3%, respectively, with 1 false-negative case and 1 false-positive case occurring. Conclusions A more accurate and less invasive diagnosis of insulinoma was possible by combining the 48-hour fasting test with the GST, compared with the existing method..

We reviewed a large number of soft tissue tumors registered at our institution, retrieved the cases of unclassified tumors with a small round cell component, and subjected them to histopathological, immunohistochemical, and gene profile analysis. We reviewed 164 cases of unclassified tumors with a small round cell component and analyzed them by RT-PCR and FISH. Tumors positive for a specific fusion-gene were also subjected to histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations. We identified 16 cases of BCOR-CCNB3/CIC-associated (CIC-DUX4 or CIC gene rearrangement-positive) sarcomas. These included seven BCOR-CCNB3 sarcomas and nine CIC-associated sarcomas. Heterogeneous elements included a myxoid spindle cell component in three BCOR-CCNB3 sarcomas and an epithelioid cell component in two CIC-associated sarcomas (one CIC-DUX4-positive and one CIC-DUX4-negative sarcomas). Mitotic activity was low in both heterogeneous components. By immunohistochemistry, in seven BCOR-CCNB3 sarcomas expression of EMA was positive in two cases, of p63 in three, of CD56 in six, of TLE1 in seven, of NKX2.2 in two, of CCNB3 in seven, and of BCOR in six cases (one case could not be tested for BCOR). In nine cases of CIC-associated sarcoma, CD56 was expressed in five, alpha-smooth muscle actin in one, ERG in three, and CD99, WT1 and TLE1 each in eight cases. Both sarcoma types showed not only a small round cell component, but also a myxoid/epithelioid component with low mitotic activity..

Assessment of excised laryngeal tissue from a patient with secondary hypopharyngeal carcinoma, Auris Nasus Larynx, 10.1016/j.anl.2016.07.007, 44, 2, 245-248, 2017.04, Here we describe the long-term outcomes of type I thyroplasty (TP-I) with silicone block implantation through histopathological assessments in a male patient who underwent pharyngolaryngectomy for secondary hypopharyngeal carcinoma 7 years after silicone implantation. A 66-year-old man presented with esophageal carcinoma and underwent subtotal esophagotomy. Subsequently, his left vocal fold exhibited fixation in a paramedian position, and he underwent TP-I with silicone block implantation 2 years after the primary esophageal surgery. His voice quality improved; however, he developed glottic carcinoma in the right vocal fold 6 months after TP-I and underwent laser cordectomy. Glottic carcinoma recurred 21 months later, and he underwent laser cordectomy again. Five years after the second laser surgery, he underwent pharyngolaryngectomy and neck dissection for hypopharyngeal carcinoma detected in the right pyriform sinus. We histopathologically examined a horizontal section of the resected larynx to assess silicone implant-related changes. Although migration of the silicone implant was not observed, a very mild foreign body reaction occurred around the implant. The patient is currently in remission. Our findings suggest that silicone implants are suitable for TP-I due to their remarkable affinity for human tissue and the low risk of a tissue reaction..

Kenichi Kouhashi, Yoshinao Oda, Oncogenic roles of SMARCB1/INI1 and its deficient tumors, Cancer Science, 10.1111/cas.13173, 108, 4, 547-552, 2017.04, SMARCB1/INI1 is one of the core subunit proteins of the ATP-dependent SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, and is identified as a potent and bona fide tumor suppressor. Interactions have been demonstrated between SMARCB1/INI1 and key proteins in various pathways related to tumor proliferation and progression: the p16-RB pathway, WNT signaling pathway, sonic hedgehog signaling pathway and Polycomb pathway. Initially, no detectable SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression was found in malignant rhabdoid tumor cells, whereas all other kinds of tumor cells and non-tumorous tissue showed SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression. Therefore, immunohistochemical testing for the SMARCB1/INI1 antibody has been considered useful in confirming the histologic diagnosis of malignant rhabdoid tumors. However, recently, aberrant expression of SMARCB1/INI1 has been found in various tumors such as epithelioid sarcomas, schwannomatosis, synovial sarcomas, and so on. In addition, it has been reported that aberrant expression can be classified into three patterns: complete loss, mosaic expression and reduced expression. Although the various pathways related to mechanisms of tumorigenesis and tumor proliferation are complexly intertwined, the clarification of these mechanisms may contribute to therapeutic strategies in SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors. In terms of pathological classifications, SMARCB1/INI1-deficient tumors may be re-classified by genetic backgrounds..

The expression of the PD-L1 protein in lung cancer is expected to be a prognostic factor or to predict the response to PD-1-blocking antibodies. However, the association between PD-L1 positivity and the clinicopathological features and patient outcomes in lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains unclear because the definitive cut-off value for the expression of PD-L1 protein remains to be established. Materials and methods The expression of PD-L1 protein in 205 surgically resected primary lung SCC patients was evaluated by immunohistochemistry with the antibody clone SP142. We generated a histogram to show the proportion of PD-L1-positive carcinoma cells, and set the cut-off values as 1%, 5%, 10% and 50%. Moreover, we examined the proliferative capacity of these tumors using Ki-67 immunohistochemistry. Results The samples from 106 (51.7%), 72 (35.1%), 61 (29.7%) and 37 (18.0%) patients were positive for the expression of PD-L1 protein at cut-off values of 1%, 5%, 10% and 50%, respectively. Fisher's exact test showed that, for almost all of the factors, PD-L1 positivity was not associated with the clinicopathological features with any of the four cut-off values. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses revealed that the PD-L1-positive patients only had a poorer prognosis than the PD-L1-negative patients at the 1% cut-off value. The Ki-67 labeling index in the PD-L1-positive patients was higher than that in the PD-L1-negative patients. Conclusions The expression of PD-L1 protein was associated with a poor prognosis in lung SCC patients. The 1% cut-off value for PD-L1 might become a better predictive marker than the other cut-off values..

Histopathologically, at the time of a wide resection, the tumor had a clear boundary between the tumoral component and the surrounding adipocytic component, and he was diagnosed as having dedifferentiated liposarcoma. However, reexamination of the case revealed no atypical cells suggesting liposarcoma in the adipose component. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for cyclin dependent kinase-4, but negative for murine double minute-2 (MDM2). In addition, fluorescence in situ hybridization failed to reveal the amplification of the MDM2 gene, leading to the final diagnosis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma..

However, there are no reports focused on desmoplasia in pancreatic cancer lymph node metastases. The present study evaluated a range of factors and investigated their association with poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer cases with lymph node metastasis, including the degree of desmoplasia in lesions. To identify the poor prognostic factors associated with lymph node metastasis, the present study retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 65 patients with lymph node metastases that underwent surgical pancreatic cancer resection between 2007 and 2012 at a single institution. The investigation focused on the degree of fibrosis in metastatic lesions in 216 lymph nodes, and investigated associations with prognosis or clinicopathological findings. The ratios of the fibrotic area in metastatic lymph node lesions were evaluated and classified into three categories, high (≥70%), moderate (10-70%) and low (

An Immunohistochemical and Genetic Study with a Practical Approach to the Classification, American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 10.1097/PAS.0000000000000785, 41, 3, 343-353, 2017.01, Duodenal neoplasm of gastric phenotype (DNGP) is very rare, and details of its histopathologic, genetic, and biological features are still unclear. Frequent gene mutations in GNAS, KRAS, and APC have been reported in pyloric gland adenomas and fundic gland-type neoplasms (initially reported as low-grade adenocarcinomas) of the stomach. Here we retrospectively analyzed 16 cases of extra-ampullary DNGP (benign to malignant), and we examined the mucin immunoprofile and oncogene mutations (GNAS, KRAS, APC, BRAF, and CTNNB1). The 16 DNGPs were histologically classified into adenomas (5 pyloric gland adenomas and 2 foveolar-type adenomas), neoplasms of uncertain malignant potential (NUMPs, n=6), and invasive adenocarcinomas (n=3). NUMPs consisted of slightly atypical epithelial cells with pale, eosinophilic, or basophilic cytoplasm growing in an anastomosing or branching glandular pattern, often with expansive submucosal extension. In contrast to invasive adenocarcinomas, NUMPs lacked significant nuclear irregularity, desmoplastic stromal reaction, lymphovascular invasion, and metastasis; their features were reminiscent of fundic gland-type neoplasms of the stomach. Immunophenotypically, most of NUMPs were predominantly positive for MUC6 with variable expressions of pepsinogen-I, H + K + ATPase, human gastric mucin, and MUC5AC. Molecular analyses revealed the gene mutations of GNAS in 6 (38%) of 16 DNGPs (4 [57%] adenomas, 1 [16%] NUMP, and 1 [33%] invasive adenocarcinoma) and APC in 4 of 15 (27%) DNGPs: no adenomas, 2 (33%) NUMPs, and 2 (67%) invasive adenocarcinomas. BRAF mutation was present in only 1 (16%) NUMP, and KRAS and CTNNB1 mutations were absent. In conclusion, gastric-phenotype adenomas and NUMPs of the duodenum are similar to their counterparts of the stomach, in terms of histologic, genetic, and clinicopathologic features. We propose the term "NUMP" as an intermediate category between adenoma and definitely invasive adenocarcinoma. Our findings may provide novel insights into the classification of undescribed but distinctive duodenal tumors showing similarity to gastric-phenotype neoplasms of the stomach..

Tomoko Wada, Yoshihiro Ohishi, Tsunehisa Kaku, Murasaki Aman, Hiroko Imamura, Nobuko Yasutake, Kenzo Sonoda, Kiyoko Kato, Yoshinao Oda, Endocervical adenocarcinoma with morphologic features of both usual and gastric types clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses and high-risk hpv detection by in situ hybridization, American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 10.1097/PAS.0000000000000833, 41, 5, 696-705, 2017.01, The fourth edition of the World Health Organization classification set up new entities of endocervical adenocarcinoma (ECA), namely the "usual type" and "gastric type." These 2 types are considered to be distinct histogenetically because of their differing immunophenotypes, human papillomavirus (HPV) status, and prognoses. Usual-Type ECAs (UECAs) are virtually always associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Gastric-Type ECAs (G-ECAs) are believed not to be associated with HR-HPV infection. Morphologically, U-ECA cells are characterized by mucin-poor and eosinophilic cytoplasm, resembling endometrioid carcinoma (a pseudoendometrioid feature). G-ECA cells are characterized by abundant clear or pale, mucinous cytoplasm and distinct cell borders. However, in routine practice we noticed that some ECAs contain morphologically usual type- like components and gastric type-like components in a single tumor; we have named these "G+U" ECAs. The histogenesis of such tumors has not been investigated. We conducted the present study to clarify the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features and HPV status of G+U ECAs, and to determine whether G+U ECAs are genuine G-ECAs mimicking U-ECAs or genuine U-ECAs with gastric type-like morphology. We retrospectively analyzed a series of 70 consecutive cases of ECA diagnosed as mucinous ECA, endocervical type, and we reclassified them on the basis of the latest World Health Organization classification. We identified 48 (69%) pure U-ECAs, 9 pure G-ECAs, and 13 G+U ECAs. Ten of the 13 G+U ECAs (77%) showed no HR-HPV infection by in situ hybridization (HPV-unrelated G+U ECAs) and showed frequent HIK1083 expression and aberrant p53 expression in both usual type-like and gastric type-like components. The other 3 G+U ECAs showed HR-HPV infection (HPV-related G+U EACs) and frequent p16+/p53-/HIK1083- immunophenotype in both usual type-like and gastric type-like components. The U-ECAs were characterized by HR-HPV infection detected by in situ hybridization and frequent p16+/ p53-/HIK1083- immunophenotype, similar to that of the HPV-related G+U ECAs. In contrast, the pure G-ECAs were characterized by the absence of HPV infection and frequent HIK1083 expression and aberrant p53 expression, similar to that of HPV-unrelated G+U ECAs. G+U ECAs thus represent a heterogenous group composed of genuine G-ECAs and genuine U-ECAs. Most of the G+U ECAs we examined were genuine HPV-unrelated G-ECAs with usual type-like components showing mucin-poor, eosinophilic cytoplasm (pseudoendometrioid morphology). A small population of G+U ECAs was genuine HPV-related U-ECAs with gastric type-like components showing mucin-rich, voluminous cytoplasm. Thus, both types of ECAs can occasionally display patterns of differentiation suggesting a component of the other type but true mixed tumors do not appear to exist. Ancillary techniques (immunohistochemical analysis of p16, p53, and HPV DNA detection assays) should be used to assure proper classification of tumors with mixed morphologic features..

Magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumor-like lesion around the elbow joint. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography indicated multiple lesions in the lung and the lymph nodes. An open biopsy of a cervical lymph node was performed, and MTX-related lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) was diagnosed. After cessation of the MTX therapy, the elbow swelling regressed, and the patient was in remission of MTX-LPD. Conclusion: MTX-LPD should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient with RA develops severe joint swelling while on MTX therapy..

A 67-year-old male with a 1-month history of bloody emesis and black stools was revealed to exhibit leukocytosis, anemia and a high serum concentration of G-CSF. During a gastrointestinal endoscopy, an ulcerating tumor was identified in the stomach. Computed tomography and a fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography scan demonstrated direct invasion of the gastric tumor into the transverse colon, regional lymphadenopathy, lung nodules and diffuse high uptake of FDG in bone marrow. The histological diagnosis was a G-CSF-producing neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) (tumor 4b, node 2, metastasis 1, pulmonary, clinical stage IV). Systemic chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin and irinotecan was started. Common terminology criteria of adverse events grade 3 tumor lysis syndrome and gastric penetration appeared. Grade 4 neutropenia lasted for 10 days despite intensive G-CSF administration. Prominent shrinkage of the primary and the metastatic tumors was observed subsequent to 3 cycles of chemotherapy. Total gastrectomy and resection of the transverse colon were subsequently performed. Systemic chemotherapy was effective for a G-CSF-producing advanced gastric NEC with careful monitoring and appropriate supportive care for severe adverse events..

Results from a nationwide survey, Asian Journal of Surgery, 10.1016/j.asjsur.2015.04.004, 40, 1, 29-34, 2017.01, Background Allied disorders of Hirschsprung's disease (ADHD) have been proposed to be the concept of the functional obstruction of the intestine with the presence of ganglion cells in the terminal rectum. They are classified into two categories based on pathology: (1) abnormal ganglia, including immaturity of ganglia, hypoganglionosis (HG), and intestinal neuronal dysplasia; (2) normal ganglia, including megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS), segmental dilatation (SD), internal anal sphincter achalasia (IASA), and chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIIP). Some of these show poor prognosis, therefore, the establishment of criteria and appropriate treatment strategies is required. Methods The questionnaires were sent to the 161 major institutes of pediatric surgery or gastroenterology in Japan, in order to collect the cases of ADHD during 10 years from 2001 and 2010. Results In total, 355 cases were collected. They included 28 immaturity of ganglia, 130 HG (121 congenital, 9 acquired), 18 intestinal neuronal dysplasia, 33 MMIHS, 43 SD, three IASA, and 100 CIIP. Of the 95 institutes, 69 (72.6%) had their own criteria for ADHD. Criteria were based on clinical symptoms and signs, and conventional pathological examinations. Prognosis was poor in congenital HG, MMIHS, and CIIP, while the others showed good survival rates. Conclusion Almost all Japanese cases of ADHD in the past 10 years were collected. Congenital HG and CIIP showed relatively high incidence, whereas acquired HG and IASA were extremely rare in Japan. The criteria of each disorder were also collected and summarized. Prognosis was poor in congenital HG, MMIHS, and CIIP..

A case report, Japanese Journal of Lung Cancer, 10.2482/haigan.57.866, 57, 7, 866-869, 2017.01, Background. Primary pulmonary sarcomas are rare tumors, and their differential diagnosis has many branches. Case. A 79-year-old woman was urgently transferred to our institution complaining of hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography revealed a lung tumor measuring 5 cm in size in the central area of the right middle lobe. Bronchoscopy did not provide a definitive diagnosis. We performed right pneumonectomy for the diagnosis and treatment. A histological examination showed the proliferation of round to short spindle-shaped cells with oval nuclei. The tumor was unable to be classified into any well-defined categories due to the lack of distinguishing immunohistochemical features. Ultimately, a diagnosis of undifferentiated/unclassified sarcoma was made. Conclusion. Primary pulmonary sarcomas are very rare, and their differential diagnosis is sometimes difficult..

Folpe, Characterization of FN1-FGFR1 and novel FN1-FGF1 fusion genes in a large series of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors, Modern Pathology, 10.1038/modpathol.2016.137, 29, 11, 1335-1346, 2016.11, Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors typically cause paraneoplastic osteomalacia, chiefly as a result of FGF23 secretion. In a prior study, we identified FN1-FGFR1 fusion in 9 of 15 phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. In this study, a total of 66 phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors and 7 tumors resembling phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor but without known phosphaturia were studied. A novel FN1-FGF1 fusion gene was identified in two cases without FN1-FGFR1 fusion by RNA sequencing and cross-validated with direct sequencing and western blot. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses revealed FN1-FGFR1 fusion in 16 of 39 (41%) phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors and identified an additional case with FN1-FGF1 fusion. The two fusion genes were mutually exclusive. Combined with previous data, the overall prevalence of FN1-FGFR1 and FN1-FGF1 fusions was 42% (21/50) and 6% (3/50), respectively. FGFR1 immunohistochemistry was positive in 82% (45/55) of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors regardless of fusion status. By contrast, 121 cases of potential morphologic mimics (belonging to 13 tumor types) rarely expressed FGFR1, the main exceptions being solitary fibrous tumors (positive in 40%), chondroblastomas (40%), and giant cell tumors of bone (38%), suggesting a possible role for FGFR1 immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. With the exception of one case reported in our prior study, none of the remaining tumors resembling phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor had either fusion type or expressed significant FGFR1. Our findings provide insight into possible mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor and imply a central role of the FGF1-FGFR1 signaling pathway. The novel FN1-FGF1 protein is expected to be secreted and serves as a ligand that binds and activates FGFR1 to achieve an autocrine loop. Further study is required to determine the functions of these fusion proteins..

Here, we examined PD-L1 protein expression in surgically resected primary lung adenocarcinoma and the association of PD-L1 protein expression with clinicopathological features, EGFR mutation status, and patient outcomes. Methods: The expression of PD-L1 protein in 417 surgically resected primary lung adenocarcinomas was evaluated by immunohistochemical analysis. The cutoff value for defining PD-L1 positivity was determined according to the histogram of proportions of PD-L1-positive cancer cells. Results: Samples from 85 patients (20.4%) and 144 patients (34.5%) were positive for PD-L1 protein expression according to 5% and 1% PD-L1 cutoff values, respectively. Fisher's exact tests showed that PD-L1 positivity was significantly associated with male sex, smoking, higher tumor grade, advanced T status, advanced N status, advanced stage, the presence of pleural and vessel invasions, micropapillary or solid predominant histological subtypes, and wild-type EGFR. Univariate and multivariate survival analyses revealed that patients with PD-L1 positivity had poorer prognoses than those without PD-L1 protein expression at the 1% cutoff value (disease-free survival p

Minoru Fujino, Shinichi Aishima, Koji Shindo, Yasunori Oda, Katsuya Morimatsu, Kosuke Tsutsumi, Takao Otsuka, Masao Tanaka, Yoshinao Oda, Expression of glucose transporter-1 is correlated with hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and malignant potential in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, Oncology Letters, 10.3892/ol.2016.5092, 12, 5, 3337-3343, 2016.11, The present study aimed to investigate the prognostic usefulness of the expression of glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT-1) and GLUT-2, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and insulin-like growth factor II messenger RNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3) in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Immunohistochemical staining for GLUT-1, GLUT-2, HIF-1α and IMP3 was performed in 70 pNET specimens. The expression of GLUT-1 and HIF-1α was significantly higher in the World Health Organization grade 2 (G2), neuroendocrine carcinoma cases and mixed-type pNETs compared with the G1 cases. Vessel invasion, a high Ki-67 labeling index and a high mitotic count were significantly more frequent in the GLUT-1- and HIF-1α-positive cases compared with the negative cases. Lymph node metastasis was significantly higher in the GLUT-1-positive cases than in the negative cases. Insulin expression was significantly higher in the IMP3-positive cases than the negative cases. The GLUT-1 expression group experienced a significantly poor disease-free survival rate compared with the negative GLUT-1 expression group. HIF-1α expression was significantly correlated with poor disease-free survival and overall survival rates. A multivariate analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor for disease-free survival in all cases. In the G1/G2 group, tumor size and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for disease-free survival. Overall, the results suggested that GLUT-1 is a useful prognostic biomarker for pNETs..

This study assessed potential risk factors for lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis (LPLM) and evaluated the feasibility and oncological safety of laparoscopic LPLD compared with the conventional open approach. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 90 patients with advanced low rectal cancer who underwent LPLD following total mesorectal excision at Kyushu University Hospital between January 2001 and July 2014. We compared the clinicopathological features between the patients with and without LPLM and the surgical outcomes between patients who underwent laparoscopic LPLD (LL) and open LPLD (OL). Results: Fourteen (15.6 %) patients had LPLM. Univariate analysis revealed that undifferentiated cancer, positive lymphatic invasion, >50 % circumferential cancer extent, mesorectal lymph node metastases (MLM), and distant metastasis were associated with LPLM. In the multivariate analysis, MLM was the only independent risk factor for LPLM. Forty-six (51.1 %) patients underwent LL, and 44 (48.9 %) patients underwent OL. The mean surgical duration was longer in the LL group than in the OL group (641.0 vs. 312.0 min, P

Kunio Iura, Yoshinao Oda, Genetic Aberration and Pathological Diagnosis in Bone and Soft-Tissue Tumors, Japanese Journal of Cancer and Chemotherapy, 43, 3, 300-304, 2016.03, Bone and soft-tissue sarcomas comprise a rare, complex, and heterogeneous group of tumors for which it is difficult for even experienced pathologists to provide a conclusive diagnosis. The number of diagnoses made using genetic analysis has increased since the detection of fusion genes in several soft-tissue tumors in the 1990s. Moreover, other specific genetic aberrations have been reported in various bone and soft-tissue tumors. In addition, molecular therapeutic targets have been sought in advanced cases of soft-tissue and bone tumors similar to other organ malignancies. To enable the pathological diagnosis of bone and soft-tissue tumors, it is necessary to combine histological diagnosis with immunohistochemistry and gene analysis findings including fusion gene or other genetic aberrations. In this review, we describe the fusion genes recently reported in bone and soft-tissue tumors such as solitary fibrous tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, nodular fasciitis, CIC-DUX4 fusion gene-positive small round cell tumors, or BCOR-CCNB3-positive sarcoma as well as other genetic aberrations in dedifferentiated liposarcoma, malignant rhabdoid tumor, cartilaginous tumor, Langerhans cell histiocytosis chondroblastoma, or giant cell tumor of the bone. We also demonstrate their association with pathological diagnosis..

Here, we show that microenvironment remodeling by hypoxic pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) promotes cancer cell motility through alteration of extracellular matrix (ECM) fiber architecture. Three-dimensional (3-D) matrices derived from PSCs under hypoxia exhibited highly organized parallel-patterned matrix fibers compared with 3-D matrices derived from PSCs under normoxia, and promoted cancer cell motility by inducing directional migration of cancer cells due to the parallel fiber architecture. Microarray analysis revealed that procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2 (PLOD2) in PSCs was the gene that potentially regulates ECM fiber architecture under hypoxia. Stromal PLOD2 expression in surgical specimens of pancreatic cancer was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of PLOD2 in PSCs blocked parallel fiber architecture of 3-D matrices, leading to decreased directional migration of cancer cells within the matrices. In conclusion, these findings indicate that hypoxia-induced PLOD2 expression in PSCs creates a permissive microenvironment for migration of cancer cells through architectural regulation of stromal ECM in pancreatic cancer..

PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 187 patients who underwent hepatectomy at the Kyushu University Hospital following a diagnosis of solitary HCC of ≤3 cm in diameter.
RESULTS: Following hepatectomy, 9.6% patients were pathologically diagnosed with benign liver lesions. Univariate analysis showed that patient age ≤67 years, negativity for hepatitis C virus antigen, lesion size ≤1.5 cm, normal level of tumor markers, and absence of increase in tumor size were associated with benign lesions. Patient age ≤67 years and absence of tumor size increase were independent predictors of benign lesions.
CONCLUSION: Benign liver lesions misdiagnosed as HCC were not infrequent, accounting for approximately 10% of resected cases. Age ≤67 years and absence of tumor size increase were independent predictors of benign liver lesions, and may help in the correct diagnosis of HCC..

Colonoscopy revealed a xanthochromic submucosal tumor of 3 mm in diameter in the terminal ileum. It was diagnosed as NET by histological analysis of a biopsy specimen. Preoperative examinations including contrast - enhanced CT, FDG - PET and small - bowel endoscopy did not reveal synchronous or distant metastatic lesions. As a result, the patient was diagnosed as having clinical stage I (cT1, N0, M0) NET. The patient underwent segmental resection of the ileum with D3 lymph node dissection. Despite the small diameter of the tumor, the final pathological diagnosis was grade 2 ileal NET accompanied by metastasis to the ileocolic lymph nodes (#203). Surgical resection and appropriate lymph node dissection should thus be considered for the treatment of ileal NET, regardless of tumor size..

However, a definitive antibody and cut-off value for PD-L1 expression are urgently needed. Materials and Methods: The PD-L1 expression in 40 surgically resected small cell lung cancer (SCLC) specimens was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with three different antibodies: clones E1L3N, 28-8, and SP142, and using three different evaluations: the Allred score, 1% cut-off, and 5% cut-off. Results: The percentage of tumors with positive PD-L1 expression was inconsistent in the IHC evaluations using the Allred score and 1% cut-off. However, the IHC evaluations using the 5% cut-off showed similar rates of expression using the three different antibodies. Conclusion: The results of this study provided detailed evidence on the frequency of PD-L1 expression in surgically resected SCLC, which may be a useful reference for identifying patients with PD-L1-expressing SCLC..

Three patients had ileal endometriosis and 2 had rectal endometriosis. Four of the 5 patients presented with intestinal obstruction, while 1 patient underwent emergency surgery for bowel perforation. All patients wished to conceive children in the future, and laparoscopic resection of the affected lesions was performed with preservation of the uterus and uterine appendages in all patients. The endometrial glands were found within the thickened bowel wall of the resected specimens in all patients. The patients' postoperative courses were uneventful, and none developed postoperative recurrence of intestinal endometriosis during the follow-up period. Laparoscopic surgery for intestinal endometriosis can be safely performed and may be useful as a minimally invasive surgery for young women..

Although aberrant kinase activation has been proposed as a mechanism of castration resistance, comprehensive kinase profiles in CRPC remain unknown. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the kinome in CRPC as well as the role of key molecules. Methods: We utilized a kinome array in androgen-dependent LNCaP and castration-resistant CxR cells. The effect of Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) on androgen receptor (AR) expression was examined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. The association between polymorphisms in the YB-1 gene determined by genotyping and YB-1 expression evaluated by immunohistochemistry in prostate cancer tissues, as well as outcome in metastatic prostate cancer, were investigated by the Cochran-Armitage test and the Cox proportional hazards model, respectively. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: One hundred fifty-six of 180 kinase phosphorylation sites, including ERK and RSK, were activated in CRPC cells, leading to increased phosphorylation of YB-1, which is a key molecule in the progression to CRPC. YB-1 signaling regulated AR V7 expression, and YB-1 inhibition augmented the anticancer effect of enzalutamide. Moreover, polymorphism (rs12030724) in the YB-1 gene affected YB-1 expression in 93 prostate cancer tissues (YB-1 positive rate; 14.3% in TT, 40.0% in AT, and 52.9% in AA, P = .04) and associated with probability of progression in 104 metastatic prostate cancer case patients (AT/TT vs AA, hazard ratio = 0.49, 95% confidence interval = 0.32 to 0.77, P = .001). Conclusions: YB-1 appears to be a promising target to inhibit the development of castration resistance, even at the AR variant-expressing stage. Polymorphism in the YB-1 gene may be a promising predictive biomarker in hormonal therapy..

Cancer & chemotherapy, 43, 1, 24-26, 2016.01, Soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is very rare malignant tumor with many kinds of histological subtypes and variants, as well as being a newly emerging entity. Because of its rarity, general pathologists are not familiar with STS and have difficulty making an accurate histopathological diagnosis in such cases. As an accurate diagnosis is essential for the selection of appropriate therapy, the Japanese Society of Pathology offers a nationwide consultation system. Some clinical trials for molecular targeted therapy have been conducted based on pathological examination findings. Pathologists play various roles in the future of sarcoma therapy..

Methods: We enrolled 14 patients with HCCs who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging prior to HAIC using cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil. In the hepatobiliary phase, we calculated the SI of the HCCs and the background liver. In cases with multiple HCCs, we calculated the SI of the largest lesion. Patients were classified into high (n = 7) and low intensity (n = 7) groups based on the median value of the SI ratio (SI of the tumor/SI of the background liver). We analyzed progression-free survival using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. In the 5 patients with a history of HCC surgery, we compared the expression of immunohistochemical organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 8 between the high and low intensity groups by chi-square test. Results: The SI ratios were 0.568 ± 0.093 (mean ± standard deviation) in the high intensity group and 0.251 ± 0.086 in the low intensity group. Compared to the group with low signal intensity, the group with high signal intensity demonstrated significantly lower serum levels of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) (P = 0.0350), significantly higher progression-free survival (P = 0.0108), better differentiation of tumor grade at histologic examination (P = 0.0253), and significantly higher OATP8 expression (P = 0.0253). Conclusion: Patients with HCCs of high SI ratio in the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging can respond better to HAIC..
