A possible direct action of gonadal steroids on ovarian carcinogenesis has been suggested. The current information about the possible role of TFF1 in ovarian tumors,, together with its relationship to the estrogen receptor (ER) status, is insufficient. The aim of this study was to investigate ERα, ERβ, and TFF1 expression in type I and II ovarian tumors and their correlation with clinicopathologic parameters of each type. The present study was carried out on 97 ovarian tumors [20 benign, 15 borderline, and 62 malignant (36 type I and 26 type II tumors)]. ERα expression was significantly in favor of type II tumors (P=0.04), whereas high TFF1 expression was significantly in favor of type I tumors (P=0.02). ERα and ERβ showed a significant positive correlation in benign cases (P=0.004) and in type I tumors (P=0.006), but not in type II tumors. In type I tumors, the expression of ERα was correlated with serous carcinoma (P=0.002) and bilaterality (P=0.05), whereas TFF1 was correlated with mucinous carcinoma (P=0.02), unilaterality (P=0.04), early FIGO staging (P=0.01), and a low mitotic count (P=0.03). A high ERβ:ERα H score ratio was associated with advanced FIGO staging in both type I (P=0.05) and type II tumors (P=0.009). The difference in the expression of ERα and TFF1 between type I and II tumors may be indicative of the difference in their origin and molecular pathway. The ERβ:ERα ratio is more important in determining the net result of ER effects than the evaluation of each receptor separately, and the high ratio may promote progression to advanced stage in type I and II ovarian tumors. High TFF1 expression in ovarian mucinous carcinoma may indicate that their mucinous differentiation is toward an intestinal type rather than an endocervical type. TFF1 expression in ovarian tumors seems to occur independent of the status of the ER.</p>","PeriodicalId":520562,"journal":{"name":"Applied immunohistochemistry & molecular morphology : AIMM","volume":" ","pages":"421-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2014-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PAI.0b013e31829bebf6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40267375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We proposed that this aspect of DNA mutation testing could be standardized by developing a computer algorithm capable of accurately determining the percentage of malignant nuclei in an image of a hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue. Using inForm software, we developed an algorithm, to calculate the percentage of malignant cells in histologic specimens of colon adenocarcinoma. A criterion standard was established by manually counting malignant and benign nuclei. Three pathologists also estimated the percentage of malignant nuclei in each image. Algorithm #9 had a median deviation from the criterion standard of 5.4% on the training set and 6.2% on the validation set. Compared with pathologist estimation, Algorithm #9 showed a similar ability to determine percentage of malignant nuclei. This method represents a potential future tool to assist in determining the percent of malignant nuclei present in a tissue section. Further validation of this algorithm or an improved algorithm may have value to more accurately assess percentage of malignant cells for companion diagnostic mutation testing. </p>","PeriodicalId":520562,"journal":{"name":"Applied immunohistochemistry & molecular morphology : AIMM","volume":" ","pages":"363-71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PAI.0b013e318299a1f6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40268835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

RhoGTPases have been found to contribute to pathologic processes including cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis and overexpression of either the GTPase itself or some elements of Rho signaling that have been detected in many human tumors, including Rac1 and RhoA. We have analyzed Rac1 and RhoA expression in the osteosarcoma tissues to understand the role of the ezrin-Rho family pathway in osteosarcoma metastatic progression. Moreover, we have blocked the ezrin expression using siRNA assay to investigate a possible correlation with RAC1 and RHOA expression in the osteosarcoma cell lines. Our immunohistochemical data showed that many osteosarcomas presented cytoplasmatic positivity for both Rac1 and RhoA and cases, both ezrin positive than ezrin negative, revealed the protein expression of Rac1 and RhoA. The results obtained by ezrin siRNA transfection showed that ezrin expression in the osteosarcoma cell lines might modulate, mainly, the Rac1 expression. It is possible that the mechanism of cell motility mediated by Rac1 and RhoA is maintained in osteosarcomas, and since the expression of ezrin, Rac1 and RhoA do not correlate with metastatic progression in osteosarcoma.
