Abstract
The expression of adhesion molecules in thyroid specimens from 10 cases of papillary adenocarcinoma, 5 cases of follicular adenoma and 3 normal thyroid specimens was examined by an immunohistochemical method. Thyroid epithelial cells from all cases of papillary adenocarcinoma expressed the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54). The ICAM-1-positive staining in these was detected predominantly on the apical site of malignant thyroid epithelial cells. However, no ICAM-1 expression was detected on thyrocytes of adenoma, and normal thyroid tissues. Furthermore, thyroid epithelial cells in patients with thyroid tumor and normal thyroid tissue did not react with anti-LFA-1, anti-VLA-4, anti-VCAM-1 and anti-ELAM-1 monoclonal antibodies. It is speculated that ICAM-1 expression in thyroid papillary adenocarcinoma may have a functional significance.
