Abstract
The Melan-A (melanocyte antigen) protein, also termed 'melanoma antigen recognized by T cells 1' (MART-1) is a protein with unknown function whose expression is specific for the melanocyte lineage. Antibodies against Melan-A are thus used for identifying melanocytic tumors, but some Melan-A antibodies show an additional - diagnostically useful - cross-reactivity against an unspecified protein involved in corticosteroid hormone synthesis. To comprehensively compare the staining patterns of a specific and a cross-reactive Melan-A antibody in normal and neoplastic tissues, tissue microarrays containing 15,840 samples from 133 different tumor types and subtypes as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. For the Melan-A-specific antibody 'Melan-A specific' (MSVA-900M), Melan-A positivity was seen in 96.0% of 25 benign nevi, 93.0% of 40 primary and 86.7% of 75 metastatic melanomas, 82.4% of 85 renal angiomyolipomas as well as 96.4% of 84 neurofibromas, 2.2% of 46 granular cell tumors, 1.0% of 104 schwannomas, and 1.1% of 87 leiomyosarcomas. The cross-reactive antibody 'Melan-A+' (MSVA-901M+) stained 98.1% of the tumors stained by 'Melan-A specific'. In addition, high positivity rates were seen in sex-cord-stroma tumors of the ovary (35.3%-100%) and the testis (86.7%) as well as for adrenocortical neoplasms (76.3%-83.0%). Only nine further tumor groups showed Melan-A+ staining, including five different categories of urothelial carcinomas. Our data provide a comprehensive overview on the staining patterns of specific and cross-reactive Melan-A antibodies. The data demonstrate that both antibodies are highly useful for their specific purpose. It is important for pathologists to distinguish these two Melan-A antibody subtypes for their daily work.

Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 3 (SERCA3) expression in gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Pathology 2024; 56:343-356. [PMID: 38184384 DOI: 10.1016/j.pathol.2023.10.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Accurate characterisation of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) is important for prognosis and the choice of targeted therapies. Histologically the diagnosis relies on positive immunostaining of tumours for KIT (CD117) and DOG1. Here we report that GISTs also abundantly express the type 3 Sarco/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA3). SERCA enzymes transport calcium ions from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum and play an important role in regulating the intensity and the periodicity of calcium-induced cell activation. GISTs from various localisations, histological and molecular subtypes or risk categories were intensely immunopositive for SERCA3 with the exception of PDGFRA-mutated cases where expression was high or moderate. Strong SERCA3 expression was observed also in normal and hyperplastic interstitial cells of Cajal. Decreased SERCA3 expression in GIST was exceptionally observed in a zonal pattern, where CD117 staining was similarly decreased, reflecting clonal heterogeneity. In contrast to GIST, SERCA3 immunostaining of spindle cell tumours and other gastrointestinal tumours resembling GIST was negative or weak. In conclusion, SERCA3 immunohistochemistry may be useful for the diagnosis of GIST with high confidence, when used as a third marker in parallel with KIT and DOG1. Moreover, SERCA3 immunopositivity may be particularly helpful in cases with negative or weak KIT or DOG1 staining, a situation that may be encountered de novo, or during the spontaneous or therapy-induced clonal evolution of GIST.

Abstract
This case report details a rare instance of a perforated jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in a 76-year-old female patient. The patient presented with acute abdominal pain and distension without any changes in bowel habits or episodes of nausea and vomiting. Initial diagnostics, including abdominal plain radiography and ultrasonography, were inconclusive; however, a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed pneumoperitoneum and an irregular fluid collection suggestive of small intestine perforations. Surgical intervention uncovered a 35 mm jejunal GIST with a 10 mm perforation. Histopathological examination confirmed a mixed cell type GIST with high malignancy potential, further substantiated by immunohistochemistry markers CD117, DOG1, and vimentin. Molecular analysis illuminated the role of key oncogenes, primarily KIT and PDGFRA mutations, emphasizing the importance of molecular diagnostics in GIST management. Despite the severity of the presentation, the patient's postoperative recovery was favorable, highlighting the effectiveness of prompt surgical and multidisciplinary approaches in managing complex GIST cases.

Abstract
The application of immunotherapy in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers remains challenging because of the limited response rate and emerging therapeutic resistance. Combining clinical cohorts, multi-omics study, and functional/molecular experiments, it is found that ANO1 amplification or high-expression predicts poor outcomes and resistance to immunotherapy for GI cancer patients. Knocking-down or inhibiting ANO1 suppresses the growth/metastasis/invasion of multiple GI cancer cell lines, cell-derived xenograft, and patient-derived xenograft models. ANO1 contributes to an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment and induces acquired resistance to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, while ANO1 knockdown or inhibition enhances immunotherapeutic effectiveness and overcomes resistance to immunotherapy. Mechanistically, through inhibiting cancer ferroptosis in a PI3K-Akt signaling-dependent manner, ANO1 enhances tumor progression and facilitates cancer-associated fibroblast recruitment by promoting TGF-β release, thus crippling CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and generating resistance to immunotherapy. This work highlights ANO1's role in mediating tumor immune microenvironment remodeling and immunotherapeutic resistance, and introduces ANO1 as a promising target for GI cancers' precision treatment.

Abstract
Discovered On Gastrointestinal stromal tumors protein 1 (DOG1), a major calcium-activated chloride channel, has been used as a common diagnostic marker for gastrointestinal stromal tumors. However, the therapeutic application of DOG1 was not well defined. Here, we aim to investigate its potential as a therapeutic target for an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) in various cancers of the alimentary tract and metastasis. The DOG1 expression profile was determined among TCGA samples and tissue microarrays. High levels of DOG1 expression were ubiquitously observed in multiple cancer samples from the alimentary tract determined by TCGA samples and tissue microarrays. Circulating tumor cells isolated from metastatic colon cancer patients were also positive for DOG1 expression. The mechanisms of anti-DOG1 antibody were investigated by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The anti-DOG1 antibody could inhibit proliferation and metastasis via p53 signaling in limited cancer cell lines. The anti-DOG1 antibody was conjugated with a microtubule inhibitor DM4, to construct a new anti-DOG1-DM4-ADC to strengthen its activity. The anti-DOG1-DM4-ADC showed cytotoxicity at the nanomolar level in vitro. In the murine xenograft tumor models, treatment of anti-DOG1-DM4-ADC achieved a significant tumor growth inhibition rate. Our study indicates that anti-DOG1-DM4-ADC may be promising therapeutic molecules for DOG1-positive alimentary tract tumors and may be effective in inhibiting recurrence after curative resection of liver metastases of colorectal origin.

Abstract
Objective Primary bladder tumors have a high degree of malignancy. To investigate the expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) in primary bladder tumors and the loss of cell differentiation and to explore the significance of HPV-16 detection, it is expected to be a disease. Treatment provides a theoretical basis. Methods Fifty-seven patients with primary bladder tumors admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into HPV-related groups according to the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection status (n = 28) and HPV unrelated group (n = 29). The general data of patients were collected, the expression of HPV-16 in bladder tissue samples was detected, and the correlation between pathological parameters and HPV-16 expression was analyzed. Results Among HPV subtypes, HPV 16 subtype accounted for the highest proportion, followed by HPV-18 and HPV-6 subtypes; there was no significant difference in tumor stage (stage 1, stage a, stage 2a) between the HPV-related group and the HPV-unrelated group (stage 1, stage a, and stage 2a). P > 0.05); there was no significant difference in postoperative pathological expression (high expression and low expression) of patients (P > 0.05); there was no statistical difference in age and gender between HPV-related and HPV-unrelated groups (P > 0.05), HPV-related group and HPV-unrelated group compared daily regular drinking and smoking status, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); HPV-16 expression was not correlated with tumor differentiation degree and age of patients (P > 0.05); the area under the curve (AUC) of HPV-16 for judging primary bladder tumor expression and cellular molecular deletion was 0.891, with a sensitivity of 83.94% and a specificity of 88.57%. Conclusion HPV-16 is an upper, expressed in primary bladder tumors and will participate in the differentiation and loss of cells, which can provide effective guidance and basis for the diagnosis of primary bladder tumors, which is an important factor for judging the pathological stage and prognosis of patients and can provide a theoretical reference for the formulation of therapeutic measures.

Abstract
Objective: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasias of the gastrointestinal system (GIS). The malignancy potential of GISTs may vary ranging from indolent tumors to progressive malignant tumors. This study aims to define clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of GISTs diagnosed in our institute with a review of the literature.
Method: A total of 28 GIST cases were included in the study. The Hematoxylin&Eosin stained slides of surgical resection materials and cell blocks and immunohistochemistry performed slides were reviewed by a pathologist. The immunohistochemical expression with CD117, DOG-1, CD34, SMA, and S100 was scored between 0 and 3 points according to staining intensity. Descriptive statistics were used in the study. The demographic data, prognostic histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings are evaluated with the literature indications.
Result: Eleven of the cases were male and seventeen were female. The age range was 18-88. The most common site of GISTs was the stomach, followed by the small intestine, colorectal region, and, esophagus. Twenty of the tumors were resected surgically, four were endoscopic biopsy material and four were fine-needle aspiration biopsies. The tumor size in measurable materials ranged from 0,2 to 22 cm. The mitotic count in 50 HPF ranges from 0 to 10. Seven of the GISTs were high grade and the remaining 21 were low grade. The majority of the cases were composed of spindle cells, 3 were epithelioid and 3 were the mixed type with spindle and epitheloid cells.
Conclusion: A variety of criteria has been proposed to estimate the malignancy potential of GISTs and predict prognosis but definite prognostic criteria remain uncertain. Further studies with larger series of GISTs consisting of different types of biopsy materials may help define criteria to predict prognosis precisely.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that zinc-finger protein 677 (ZNF677) acts as a tumor suppressor gene in cancer. However, the expression and function of ZNF677 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are still unclear. In this study, we used bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments to investigate the expression of ZNF677 in ccRCC tissues and the malignant biological behavior of ZNF677 in 786–0 cells. We demonstrated that ZNF677 is hypermethylated in ccRCC and is associated with clinicopathological features. The results of the functional assays indicate that ZNF677 inhibits tumor cell proliferation and invasion and induces apoptosis. Further prognostic analysis indicated that low expression of ZNF677 is associated with shorter overall survival. Additionally, ZNF677 overexpression suppressed the invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of 786–0 cells by inactivating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This is the first report to evaluate the influence of ZNF677 on ccRCC cells malignant biological behavior. The results indicate that high expression of ZNF677 could be considered as a favorable prognostic indicator for ccRCC.

Semi-automated validation and quantification of CTLA-4 in 90 different tumor entities using multiple antibodies and artificial intelligence. J Transl Med 2022; 102:650-657. [PMID: 35091676 PMCID: PMC9162915 DOI: 10.1038/s41374-022-00728-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
CTLA-4 is an inhibitory immune checkpoint receptor and a negative regulator of anti-tumor T-cell function. This study is aimed for a comparative analysis of CTLA-4+ cells between different tumor entities. To quantify CTLA-4+ cells, 4582 tumor samples from 90 different tumor entities as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray format. Two different antibody clones (MSVA-152R and CAL49) were validated and quantified using a deep learning framework for automated exclusion of unspecific immunostaining. Comparing both CTLA-4 antibodies revealed a clone dependent unspecific staining pattern in adrenal cortical adenoma (63%) for MSVA-152R and in pheochromocytoma (67%) as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (36%) for CAL49. After automated exclusion of non-specific staining reaction (3.6%), a strong correlation was observed for the densities of CTLA-4+ lymphocytes obtained by both antibodies (r = 0.87; p < 0.0001). A high CTLA-4+ cell density was linked to low pT category (p < 0.0001), absent lymph node metastases (p = 0.0354), and PD-L1 expression in tumor cells or inflammatory cells (p < 0.0001 each). A high CTLA-4/CD3-ratio was linked to absent lymph node metastases (p = 0.0295) and to PD-L1 positivity on immune cells (p = 0.0026). Marked differences exist in the number of CTLA-4+ lymphocytes between tumors. Analyzing two independent antibodies by a deep learning framework can facilitate automated quantification of immunohistochemically analyzed target proteins such as CTLA-4.
