Decreased Expression of Annexin A1 during the Progression of Cervical Neoplasia

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the expression of annexin A1 (ANXA1) is associated with the progression of cervical neoplasia. ANXA1 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded cervical tissue samples (n = 234), comprising 52 samples of normal cervical epithelia, 30 of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, 27 of CIN II, 32 of CIN III, and 93 of invasive squamous cell carcinoma (ISCC). ANXA1 expression was strong in normal cervical squamous epithelium and significant… Show more

“…Squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus showed a significant reduction of ANXA1 mRNA and protein expression, which is strongly expressed in the normal squamous epithelium. This finding is compatible with previous studies that identified ANXA1 as a marker of differentiation in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, and head and neck [8-10]. Down-regulation of ANXA1 seems to be exceptional in adenocarcinomas, since many clinical cases documented overexpression in adenocarcinoma of various organs, e.g.…”

“…However, more recently, ANXA1 protein has been recognized to be differentially expressed in various human tumors, e.g., breast cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, endometrial carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer [2-13]. Loss/aberrant expression pattern of ANXA1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, and endometrial carcinoma could be correlated with altered tumor behavior, e.g., dedifferentiation of tumor cells, increased invasiveness, and thus with tumor progression [6,8-10,12]. On the other hand, increased expression pattern of ANXA1 in hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer was shown to be associated with tumor growth, lymph node metastasis, and advanced disease stages, and consequently with poor patient outcome [11,13,14].…”

“…Previous reports suggest that ANXA1 is involved in membrane aggregation, cell matrix interaction, vesicle transport, phagocytosis, proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation and cell transformation29. ANXA1 expression is up-regulated in breast cancer30, hepatocellular carcinoma31, melanoma32, and rectal cancer, but down regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma33 and cervical cancer34. In breast cancer, ANXA1 expression is associated with BRCA1/2 mutations35.…”

“…To date, numerous reports suggest that ANXA1 is differentially expressed depending on cancer types. In fact, ANXA1 was found to be up-regulated in esophageal cancer (8), pancreatic cancer (9), skin squamous cell carcinoma (10) and colon cancer (11), and down-regulated in cervical cancer (12), oral squamous cell carcinoma (13), prostate cancer (14), breast cancer (15-17) and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (18). For example, high levels of ANXA1 expression were detected in approximately 40% of cases of esophageal and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and were correlated with the progression of T factor and distant metastases (8).…”

“…The functions of ANXA1 in tumor growth and development have been examined in various types of cancer, but are not clearly understood, since ANXA1 expression is differentially expressed in different cancer types, including esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, skin squamous cell carcinoma, colon cancer, cervical cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). In the present study, we investigated ANXA1 expression in gastric and colon cancer, and analyzed the relationship between anxa1 expression and clinicopathological factors and patient prognosis.…”
