EMMPRIN and fascin overexpression associated with clinicopathologic parameters of pancreatobiliary adenocarcinoma in Chinese people

Abstract: The aim of this study was to test whether expression of EMMPRIN and fascin correlates with clinicopathologic parameters of pancreatobiliary adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis of EMMPRIN and fascin was performed in 100 surgical specimens obtained from Chinese patients, including 18 well-differentiated, 62 moderately differentiated, and 20 poorly differentiated pancreatic and biliary adenocarcinomas. Neither EMMPRIN nor fascin was detectable in normal pancreatic and biliary glandular epithelia. However… Show more

“…Previous studies of colon cancer by Davidson [7] and Tsai [8] proved that EMMPRIN played a key role in prognostic of colon carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. On the other hand, studies of liver cancer founded that EMMPRIN did not express in normal liver tissue but expressed in all liver cancer cells and related to liver cancer metastasis and clinical analysis [9] .…”

“…For these reasons, fascin and EMMPRIN expression have been investigated for many tumors and revealed to be important for tumor progress and metastasis ability. Their presence is usually associated with poor prognostic and clinicopathological features [13][14][15][16][17][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. For lung carcinomas, there have been few studies of fascin and EMMPRIN expression [27][28][29][30].…”

“…MMPs have been shown to be related to degradation of the extracellular matrix, angiogenesis and tumor progression [11,12]. Therefore, elevated EMMPRIN expression is reported for some tumors and its presence correlates with their poor clinical and pathologic features [13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…The growth and invasion of GC cells involves the breakdown of the extracellular matrix by proteinases including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are involved in tumor progression, growth, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis (12,13). Previous studies have demonstrated that Basigin promotes tumor cell invasion by stimulating stromal cells to produce elevated levels of MMPs (14)(15)(16).…”
