Using multispectral analyses on brain tissues from humans who died of AD it was documented that neurons with hyperphosphorylated tau protein accumulate many proteins of the BCL2 family, including those that block cell turnover (eg, BCL2, MCL1, BCLXL) and those that promote cell turnover (eg, NOXA, PUMA, BAK, BAX). A mouse model of AD with the humanized hyperphosphorylated tau protein was used to test the hypothesis that shifting this balance to a pro-cell turnover milieu would reduce the tau burden with concomitant clinical improvement. Here, we show that a mouse model of AD with death at 11 to 15 months due to CNS tauopathy had a marked reduction in the tau burden after treatment with the FDA-approved drug venetoclax, which blocks BCL2. The reduction of the number of target neurons positive for hyperphosphorylated tau protein after venetoclax treatment in the brain and spinal cord neurons was 94.5% as determined by immunohistochemistry and 98.1% as documented with the modified Bielchowsky stain. The venetoclax treatment began after documented neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) were evident and there was a concomitant reduction in neuroinflammation. The treated mice were robust until sacrificed at 13 months as compared with the untreated mice that showed unequivocal evidence of brain and spinal cord damage both clinically and at autopsy.

In the right clinical setting, coexpression of CK7 and GATA3 is considered as strong evidence of breast origin, which can be further confirmed by positive expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors. Pathologists use CK7 in the breast to confirm epithelial differentiation and highlight foci of invasion, and outside the breast it is often used as a marker to support breast origin of metastatic tumors. Few studies have reported loss of CK7 in invasive breast carcinoma, however, association of CK7 loss with any histopathologic subtype has not been well documented in the literature. We stained a series of solid papillary carcinoma of the breast (SPC) and associated invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with CK7 to document that CK7 loss can occur in both SPC and associated IDC. Archived breast tumor tissue specimens with a diagnosis of SPC with IDC were identified from our Department of Pathology database from January 2019 to January 2023. Blocks with tumors were initially evaluated on Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides, and subsequently with CK7, synaptophysin, and chromogranin immunostains. The results of these immunohistochemical markers were tabulated in an Excel sheet. Expression of CK7 was entered as negative, marked loss of CK7 (weak positive staining in <1% of tumor), and positive (diffuse expression >1% to 100% of tumor cells). Out of 26 tumors of SPC, 15 showed negative to a marked loss of expression for CK7 in both in-situ and invasive components (57.7%), while 11 were diffusely positive (42.3%). Neuroendocrine differentiation was present in 57.7% of tumors of which 60% were CK7 negative. However, there was no significant association between neuroendocrine differentiation in SPC and associated IDC with CK7 loss ( P =1). In addition, histologic parameters, biomarkers expression, Ki-67 expression, and clinical follow-up were studied in detail.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>A significant proportion of solid papillary carcinoma of the breast and the associated invasive component can show loss of CK7.</p>","PeriodicalId":48952,"journal":{"name":"Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology","volume":" ","pages":"152-159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
