      Immunolocalization of E-cadherin (E-cad), alpha-catenin, beta-catenin, and CD44 has rarely been investigated in human cholangiocarcinoma (CC). We, therefore, immunohistochemically examined the expression of E-cad, alpha-catenin, beta-catenin, CD44 standard (CD44s), and CD44 variants (CD44v) including CD44v5, CD44v6, CD44v7-8, and CD44v10 in normal adult livers and in 47 cases of CC; and the results were then correlated with tumor grade, vascular invasion, metastasis, p53 expression, ...

      Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer, with approximately 80% of cases related to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (TDO2) are the key rate-limiting enzymes of the tryptophan-to-kynurenine metabolic pathway. With aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), an intracellular transcription factor, they play a role in escaping the immunosurveillance process in several cancers. IDO1/TDO2/AhR ...

      In lung cancers, lymph node metastasis of cancer cells is one of the most important prognostic factors, and lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) is very important in the stage preceding lymph node metastases. Recently, it has been reported that lymphatic vessel density (LVD) is associated with lymph node metastasis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between LVD and LVI based on the immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin or D2-40, which are new specific ...

      BACKGROUND/AIMS: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 is an important regulator of matrix metalloproteinase activity. To clarify the changes in TIMP-1 in diseased livers, we measured TIMP-1 concentrations in liver tissue samples from patients with chronic liver disease. The relationship between serum and liver levels of TIMP-1 was also examined in some patients.

      METHODS: The subjects were 68 patients who underwent liver biopsy. The liver TIMP-1 concentration was measured using ...

      Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an inherited lipid storage disorder caused by mutations in NPC1 or NPC2 genes. Loss of function of either protein results in the endosomal accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids, progressive neurodegeneration, and robust glial cell activation. Here, we report that cultured human NPC fibroblasts secrete interferon-beta, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8, and contain increased levels of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). ...

      Smad expressions, signaling mediators of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of cytokines, were investigated in paraffin-embedded tissue sections of liver cirrhosis due to the hepatitis C virus infection and in the hepatic stellate cell (HSC) line in vitro. Smad 2/3, 4 and 7 was expressed in the nucleus of the HSC in the cirrhotic liver, while the expression was weak in the non-cirrhotic liver. TGF-beta1 expression in the HSC of the cirrhotic liver was strong, while ...

      It has recently been shown that approximately 80% of Merkel cell carcinomas harbor a novel polyomavirus named Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). MCPyV has been detected in human tissue samples. However, detailed distribution of MCPyV in non-neoplastic Japanese human tissues remains unclear. To address this, we used single or real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 41 autopsy cases. PCR revealed MCPyV-DNA in non-neoplastic samples: total, 29/41 (71%); adult, 29/39 (74%); ...

      beta-Catenin has multiple functions both in intercellular adhesion and in signal transduction. As a signaling molecule, mutations in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene stabilize this protein in the cytoplasm. Subsequently, accumulated beta-catenin protein translocates to nuclei with T-cell factor-4, and upregulates transcriptional activity of the target genes involved in carcinogenesis. Mutations in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene have been detected in various carcinomas. We examined ...

      Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer that mostly occurs in the elderly. Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is detected in approximately 80% of MCCs and is associated with carcinogenesis. Hedgehog signaling pathway plays a role in human embryogenesis and organogenesis. In addition, reactivation of this pathway later in life can cause tumors. Twenty-nineMCPyV-positive and 21 MCPyV-negative MCCs were immunohistochemically stained with primary antibodies for ...

      BACKGROUND/AIMS: Cell adhesion molecules play an important role in the morphogenesis of developing organs. However, little is known about their expression during intrahepatic bile duct development.

      METHODS: We immunohistochemically investigated the expression of E-cadherin (E-Cad), alpha-catenin (A-Cat) and beta-catenin (B-Cat) during human intrahepatic bile duct development, using 31 fetal livers of various gestational ages. The developmental stages of bile ducts were classified into ...

      According to the World Health Organization classification, neoplasms with perivascular epithelioid cell differentiation (PEComas) are mesenchymal tumors composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive PEC. Generally, nearly all PEComas have immunoreactivity for both melanocytic (HMB-45 and/or melan A) and smooth muscle (actin (SMA) and/or desmin) markers. Recently the authors reported that benign clear cell sugar tumor of the lung, one of the PEComas, expressed CD1a. ...

      Most adults have persistent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infection. Adolescents and young adults with primary EBV-infection frequently develop infectious mononucleosis. Latent EBV-infection is associated with various diseases, neoplasms, and hematological disorders. In vivo animal models of human EBV infection, such as non-human primates, have had limited success. A new rabbit model for primary human EBV-infection is described in this study. Seven male rabbits inoculated intravenously with ...

      We have earlier shown that dystroglycan (DG) is a lamininbinding protein and as such is a cell adhesion molecule. DG is a heterodimer of alpha and beta DG subunits. beta-dystroglycan (betaDG) is the membrane spanning subunit, whereas the alpha subunit is bound to the extracellular domain of betaDG. To study physiological function of the protein, we expressed full-length DG (FL-DG) and the cytoplasmic domain of betaDG (deltabetaDG) in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAE) and examined ...
