Preferential expression of the cell adhesion molecule CD44 in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract:

:CD44 is a polymorphic family of immunologically related integral membrane glycoproteins associated with cell matrix adhesion, lymphocyte activation and targeting, and tumor growth and metastasis. We studied CD44 expression in 114 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded thyroid tumors using the A3D8 anti-human CD44 monoclonal antibody. Sixty-five of 67 papillary carcinomas (97%) strongly expressed CD44 with an intense plasma membrane pattern. Thirty-seven of these cases originated from Albany, New York, and 30 cases from Russia. Immunoreactivity was also observed in 9 of 16 follicular adenomas (56%); 4 of 8 Hurthle cell neoplasms (50%); 5 of 15 medullary carcinomas (33%); and 3 of 8 follicular carcinomas (38%). These results show that among thyroid neoplasms, papillary carcinomas preferentially display the CD44 antigen (P < or = 0.001). Nonneoplastic follicular epithelium exhibited a low to moderate level of staining. To further characterize the CD44 isoform, we tested a subset of cases with the 2F10 anti-human CD44 variant 6 monoclonal antibody, which recognizes a CD44 variant exon (CD44v6) implicated in tumor metastasis. Eleven of 11 papillary carcinomas tested were 2F10 positive, and 1 of the follicular carcinomas was positive. These results suggest the hypothesis that deregulated CD44v6 expression on the plasma membrane of papillary carcinoma cells contributes to the ability of those cells to metastasize to regional lymph nodes and then to remain dormant for years. Our results suggest that human papillary thyroid cancer will be an interesting model in which to further study the role of CD44 isoforms, particularly those containing CD44v6, in tumor metastasis and lymphatic invasion.
