Metastasis in pleural mesothelioma. Immunohistochemical markers for disseminated disease.

Abstract:

AIMS:To examine 13 cases of mesothelioma with metastases and compare these with 29 biopsy samples of patients without metastases. Metastatic disease was defined as tumour in which tumour appeared in a different cavity/tissue of the body and which showed no direct spread. Consequently, mediastinal nodal and parenchymal lung spread was excluded. METHODS AND RESULTS:Standard sections were prepared and stained according to the manufacturers' protocols. The antibodies used were MIB-1, nm23, Bcl-2, MMP-9, EMMPRIN (CD147) and alpha-catenin. Scoring employed a grading system (0/1/2/3), and was performed by two pathologists independently. The tissues revealed no significant staining differences for MIB-1, Bcl-2, MMP-9 or EMMPRIN, and therefore no linkage to metastatic potential was determined. Alpha-Catenin showed a diminished level of expression in cases of metastatic mesothelioma (P = 0.024), possibly reflecting dimished catenin-cadherin binding and paralleling data from other tumours. nm23 showed greater staining in metastatic tumours when compared with the controls (P = 0.001). Intriguingly, the nm23 staining pattern was the reverse of that expected. This reversed pattern has been noted before in other tumours and therefore a biological prognostic event may exist for this antibody test and mesothelioma metastasis. CONCLUSION:There may be a place for nm23 and possibly alpha-catenin in immunohistochemical assessment of mesothelioma metastatic potential. However, MIB-1, Bcl-2, MMP-9 and EMMPRIN (CD147) do not show significant staining results.
