Comparison of immunohistochemistry and mRNA in situ hybridization in detecting thyroid transcription factor-1 expression in non-small cell lung carcinomas tissue

Abstract: Abstract. Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) reportedly possesses oncogenic and suppressive roles within the same tumor type and may play a dual function in the progression of lung cancer. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH) are commonly used methods for detecting protein or mRNA expression. The present study compared the concordance rate of the two methods in the evaluation of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) expression in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) using tissu… Show more

“…This contradicts the clinical histopathology finding that 70-80% of lung adenocarcinoma are positive for TTF1, while lung squamous cells are negative for TTF1 and 100% positive for TP63 (43,44). While these discrepancies might be attributed to differences between the output of RNAseq and immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays, others have reported no significant difference between TTF1 mRNA and IHC protein expression (45). These contradictions highlight the importance of ascertaining whether cell lines of interest in fact retain certain key aspects of tumor biology, prior to their use in specific studies.…”

“…We believe that the research on bitter taste receptors should be continued, due to the possibility of their potential use both in the treatment and qualification of patients who require more careful monitoring. Another limitation is the evaluation of expression at the mRNA level, which may not fully reflect the actual protein expression, although more and more studies confirm comparable results for both approaches or indicate the advantage of the approach using more standardized techniques [56][57][58].…”

“…The κ statistic evaluates the level of agreement between the two methods attributable to actual agreement rather than potential agreement by chance, with a κ-coefficient of > 0.75 indicating near-perfect agreement, 0.45–0.75 indicating moderate agreement, and < 0.45 indicating slight agreement, no agreement, or a random association. 24 Test clinical sensitivity, specificity, and false-positive and false-negative rates were also calculated. 25 Results with a P value < 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.…”
