Abstract

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) and low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) are intermediate- or low-grade malignant myofibroblastic neoplasms. In this study, the clinicopathologic profiles of 24 IMTs and 10 LGMS were compared with a focus on the immunohistochemical profiles of the neoplastic myofibroblasts. The primary antibodies used in this study were specific for the ultrastructural subcellular components: (1) *-smooth muscle actin (*-SMA), muscle-specific actin (MSA), calponin, and h-caldesmon for myofilaments; (2) fibronectin for fibronexus; (3) laminin for basal lamina; (4) desmin and cytokeratin for intermediate filaments. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) alterations were examined by immunohistochemical means, with selective fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. Histologically, IMT had inhomogeneous microscopic features with multi-component and multi-patterned architecture, whereas LGMS tended to be more uniform in appearance with a higher cellularity, more prominent nuclear hyperchromasia, and a more widely infiltrative growth pattern than IMT. Immunohistochemically, firstly, more than 90% of the cases of both IMT and LGMS expressed calponin, *-SMA, MSA, and fibronectin, almost all with a high expressi...Continue Reading

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
