Abstract

The immunohistochemical localization of large proteoglycan and small proteoglycan was observed, using antibodies 2B1 and 6B6 (Sobue et al., 1988, 1989a), in fetal and adult pancreas and biliary system as well as in tumour tissues, obtained from 11 autopsies and 74 biopsies. The distribution of chondroitin 4- and 6-sulphate side chains, type I and IV collagen and elastin were also studied. In adult pancreas and all the biliary tracts examined, periductal fibrous tissues consisted mainly of dermatan sulphate small proteoglycan with networks of fibrous elements, which were composed of large proteoglycan, elastin, type I collagen and type IV collagen. In the interstitial components of cystadenoma of pancreas and biliary duct carcinoma, similar small proteoglycan-rich components were relatively abundant, although large proteoglycan was present in much larger amounts than that in non-neoplastic adult tissues. In some cholangiomas, the extra- and intracellular hyaline globules formed by the carcinoma cells were found to contain chondroitin sulphate large proteoglycan, laminin and fibronectin. The distribution of proteoglycans was observed to be different in the arterial walls of the interlobular tissues of the adult and the fetal panc...Continue Reading
