Identification of Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing Protein 180 and Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing Protein 4 as Potential Immunohistochemical Markers for Liposarcoma Based on Proteomic Analysis Using Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue
Abstract
Recent technical improvements in both mass spectrometry and protein extraction have made it possible to use formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues for proteome analysis. In this study, comparable proteome analysis of FFPE tissues revealed multiple candidate marker molecules for differentiating atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL) from lipoma. A total of 181 unique proteins were identified for ALT/WDL. Of the identified proteins, coiled-coil domain-containing protein 180 (CCDC180) and leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 4 (LRRC4) were studied as candidate markers of ALT/WDL. CCDC180 and LRRC4 immunohistochemistry clearly stained tumor cells of ALT/WDL and dedifferentiated liposarcoma and could differentiate them from lipoma with high accuracy. Cell biological methods were used to further examine the expression of the candidate marker molecules in liposarcoma cells. In liposarcoma cells, knockdown of CCDC180 and LRRC4 inhibited cell proliferation. CCDC180 inhibited cell migration, invasion, and apoptosis resistance in WDL cells. Adipogenic differentiation suppressed the expression of CCDC180 and LRRC4 in WDL cells. These results indicated that LRRC4 and CCDC180 are novel immunohistochem...Continue Reading

Cell Migration
Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
