Concise Immunohistochemistry In Carcinoma Of Unknown Primary Origin, Chinnawut Suriyonplengsaeng May 2018

Concise Immunohistochemistry In Carcinoma Of Unknown Primary Origin, Chinnawut Suriyonplengsaeng

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Carcinoma of unknown primary origin is a malignant epithelial neoplasm clinically defined by the presence of metastasis without known primary origin at the time of diagnosis. When it is clinically encountered, further investigations should be considered. Identification of primary origin of such neoplasm is crucial for proper patient management and prognosis. Immunohistochemistry has become an ancillary study for resolving this issue. Initialimmunohistochemistry panel including AE1/AE3, S100, CD45 and vimentin is suggested for identification of lineage of tumor cell differentiation. If the tumor cells are diffusely positive for AE1/AE3 confirming the diagnosis of carcinoma, additional immunohistochemistry markers including CK7, CK20 and …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Our previous study reported the expression of kisspeptin in the preoptic area (POA) and arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus of cycling buffalo cows. In ruminants, POA and ARC are the main hypothalamic nuclei through which kisspeptin acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, due to their stimulation of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. In many species, kisspeptin activates GnRH neurons via its receptors (KISS1R or GPR54). The present study was designed to explore the expression of KISS1R by GnRH neurons in the POA and ARC hypothalamic nuclei in buffalo cow brains by double-labeling immunohistochemistry. In both the POA and ARC areas, …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Involucrin (INV) is a cornified envelope precursor protein that is commonly used as an early stage marker of human terminal keratinocyte differentiation. This research investigated the expression of INV in canine skin tumors using 56 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedding (FFPE) biopsied specimens. The expression of INV was investigated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RT-PCR. Correlation between INV and Ki-67 was also performed. The malignant tumor groups showed significantly different INV staining scores and Ki-67 positive cells than the normal skin group by IHC (p<0.05). The INV scores of moderately differentiated SCC (MSCC), trichoblastoma (TCB), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and poorly differentiated SCC (PSCC) significantly decreased, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). Interestingly, the INV of poorly differentiated SCC disappeared in some specimens. The INV expression in most tumors was found to be inversely proportionate to Ki-67 positive cells. In addition, only SCC regardless of tumor grade without tumor-graded specimens showed an inversely statistically significant difference between the Ki-67 positive cells and INV expression (p<0.0001). In RT-PCR, mRNA expression of the FFPE specimens showed substantial similarity of INV expression as in IHC. It is suggested that the INV expression should be further studied in terms of clinical prognosis in canine cutaneous SCC.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The study looked at the relationship between the expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein, histological types, PCNA and AgNORs indices, in feline mammary tumors. Sixty, surgically resected, mammary tumors from cats were collected and histological processed. The expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and was seen in benign hyperplasia, adenosis and malignant groups. The c-erbB2 oncogene protein expression in malignant, feline mammary tumors was 41.67% (25/60) which could be divided into simple tubular ACC, 25% (6/24), simple papillary ACC, 78.6% (11/14), solid carcinoma, 26.7% (4/15) and cribiform carcinoma, 57.14% (4/7). There were statistically significantly differences (p<0.05) in the expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein between simple tubular ACC, compared with simple papillary ACC and solid carcinomas. The expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein in specimens, classified by histological malignancy grades revealed, grade I, 42.11% and grade II, 41.46% but there was no statistically significant difference between them. An evaluation of a proliferative marker shown by a mean (±SD) of PCNA, was 34.63±23.87 and the mean (±SD) of AgNORs was 1.23±0.18. There was no significant difference between the PCNA and AgNORs index of both the histological types and the histological malignancy grades. However, a statistical difference of mean PCNA and AgNORs indices was noted in both c-erbB2 positive and c-erbB2 negative groups. The mean PCNA indices and AgNORs indices in c-erbB2 positive samples were 26.52±18.68 and 1.12±0.27 respectively, while the c-erbB2 negative ones were 39.43±26.24 and 1.28±0.19 respectively. In conclusion, c-erbB2 oncogene protein expression is considered to be an effective prognostic factor for adenocarcinoma subtypes of feline mammary tumors as it is in human and canine cases. However, integration of all the parameters (c-erbB2 oncogene protein, PCNA index, AgNORs index, histological types and clinical data) may achieve a more precise prognosis in feline, mammary tumor cases.

First Identification Of Neospora Caninum In Thailand, Than Kyaw, Prachin Virakul, Manop Muangyai, Wijit Banlunara

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

An immunohistochemical examination of aborted bovine tissues, collected from two dairy farms that had a high abortion rate (7%), detected the organism Neospora caninum (NC). Five out of 12 aborting cows (41.7%) were seropositive to NC using a competitive ELISA test. Neospora-tachyzoites were detected in the placenta of a seropositive aborting cow. Neither NC parasites nor cysts were detected in other fetal tissues. The identification of the Neospora-parasite and a high percentage of Neospora seropositive aborting cows, suggested NC as the possible cause of abortion. This is the first identification of the NC parasite in Thailand.
