Abstract

To analyse the expression of alphavbeta6, an epithelial integrin involved in wound healing and tumorigenesis, in various human carcinoma types. A new monoclonal antibody to the human beta6 subunit, 5C4, was used to locate alphavbeta6 in 157 cancers of gastroenteropancreatic and 21 of lung origin. The data were validated by analysis of alphavbeta6 extracted from histological sections. Alphavbeta6 integrin showed strongest expression in 34 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (mean score 2.88 +/- 0.52), followed by 24 intestinal-type gastric carcinomas (1.45 +/- 1.06) and eight lung adenocarcinomas (1.37 +/- 1.1). Moderate expression was found in 31 diffuse-type gastric carcinomas (0.94 +/- 0.83), seven duodenal adenocarcinomas (0.8 +/- 1.34) and 26 colorectal adenocarcinomas (0.76 +/- 0.71). Little alphavbeta6 was seen in seven liver cell carcinomas and six neuroendocrine tumours. Well-differentiated carcinomas expressed more beta6 than poorly differentiated tumours. Peritumoral epithelial tissues where alphavbeta6-expressing tumours arose also expressed alphavbeta6. There was no correlation between expression of alphavbeta6 and its ligands tenascin and fibronectin in pancreatic and gastric carcinomas. Spheroid formation by pancrea...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Carcinoma, Ductal

Ductal carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm involving the ductal systems of any of a number of organs, such as the mammary glands, pancreas, prostate or lacrimal gland. Discover the latest research on ductal carcinoma here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
