Immunohistochemical analysis of calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide in human lung.

Abstract:

:Calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have been localized immunohistochemically in neuroendocrine cells of normal and diseased human lungs. Cells immunoreactive for calcitonin and CGRP first appeared in immature bronchi in the 27th gestational week. Thereafter, both peptides were found in the same bronchial neuroendocrine cells throughout fetal and neonatal life. In adult lungs with or without neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia, only calcitonin was present. In 17 of 18 (94%) pulmonary tumorlets, variable numbers of calcitonin-positive cells were identified. A few CGRP immunoreactive cells, as a subset of calcitonin-containing cells, were found in only three (17%) lesions. Of 37 bronchial carcinoids, calcitonin was detected in 14 and CGRP was detected in 16 (38% and 43%, respectively), and both peptides were predominantly localized in the same cells. Ten of 45 (22%) small cell lung carcinomas were calcitonin-immunoreactive. CGRP was noted in only one (2%) of these tumors, and both peptides coexisted in single cells. These findings indicate that the patterns of calcitonin/CGRP expression in hyperplastic bronchial neuroendocrine cells, pulmonary tumorlets, and, to some extent, small cell lung carcinomas are similar to those of normal adult lungs. On the other hand, calcitonin/CGRP expression in bronchial carcinoids is similar to that of late fetal and neonatal lungs.
