Glypican 3 has a higher sensitivity than alpha-fetoprotein for testicular and ovarian yolk sac tumour: immunohistochemical investigation with analysis of histological growth patterns.

Abstract:

AIMS:Glypican 3 (GPC3) has been reported to be overexpressed in yolk sac tumour (YST), but the sensitivity has not been compared with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). YST can form numerous growth patterns and the expression of GPC3 in these patterns has not been studied. The aim was to address these aspects. METHODS AND RESULTS:Sections from testicular or ovarian YST were subjected to immunohistochemistry using GPC3 (n = 39) and AFP (n = 24). Overall immunoreactivity for each case and specific histological patterns were semiquantitatively evaluated (0-3+) and intensity of reactivity was scored (0-3). All cases expressed GPC3 (1+, 5%; 2+, 8%; 3+, 87%) with strong intensity (2.9). The majority expressed AFP (58%) but immunoreactivity was often focal (0, 42%; 1+, 33%; 2+, 25%) and intensity was low (1.0). Using GPC3, >75% of the microcystic (n = 38), macrocystic (n = 26), solid (n = 21), glandular-alveolar (n = 8), endodermal sinus (n = 7), polyvesicular vitelline (n = 5), enteric (n = 4) and micropapillary (n = 2) growth patterns displayed 2+ or 3+ positivity. CONCLUSIONS:YST can display a variety of growth patterns that can be confused with other germ cell tumour components. GPC3 detects all growth patterns tested and has a higher sensitivity for detecting YST than AFP.
