<P>As an angiogenic factor, thymidine phosphorylase (TP) expression in primary tumours has been thought to be a risk factor for lymph node (LN) and hepatic metastasis in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. However, the molecular basis for the induction of metastasis by TP is largely unknown. We aim to elucidate the role of TP expression in gastric cancer neovascularisation and LN metastasis.The angiogenic and lymphangiogenic activity (CD31, D2-40, Ki-67, VEGFC, VEGFR3) and expression status of TP were detected in 103 resected human gastric carcinoma samples by immunohistochemistry. The influence of TP expression on neovascularisation and cancer cell invasion was further comparatively investigated in two groups of nude mice intraperitoneally injected with TP overexpressing MKN-45 cells (MKN-45/TP) and control cells (MKN-45/CV). In gastric cancer tissues, we found that high TP expression and various angiogenic and lymphangiogenic activities were significantly associated with poor prognostic outcomes. In addition, TP expression was also found to be associated with neovascularisation activity of gastric cancer tissues. In vivo, the MKN-45/TP group exhibited significantly increased infiltrating tumour nodules and neovascularisation activity compared to the MKN-45/CV group. TP could strongly influence gastric cancer progression via the dual activities of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.</P>

<P>Initiation of transcription for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by RNA polymerase I requires TATA-binding protein (TBP) and TBP-associated factors (TAF1A, TAF1B and TAF1C). p53 tumour suppressor inhibits rRNA transcription by blocking TAF1C-UBF interaction, but alterations of TAF1C itself in tumorigenesis remain unknown. The aim of this study was to explore whether TAF1C gene was mutated in gastric (GC) and colorectal cancers (CRC).In a public database, we found that TAF1C gene had a mononucleotide repeat (C8) in the coding sequences that might be a mutation target in the cancers with microsatellite instability (MSI). We analysed 79 GC and 124 CRC by single-strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequencing analyses. In this study, we found TAF1C frameshift mutations (8.8% of GC and 10.1% of CRC with MSI-H), which were not found in stable MSI/low MSI (MSS/MSI-L) (0/90). In addition, we analysed intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) of TAF1C frameshift mutations in 16 CRC and found that three CRC (18.8%) harboured regional ITH of the TAF1C frameshift mutations. Our results indicate that TAF1C gene harboured not only somatic frameshift mutations but also the mutational ITH, which together might play a role in tumourigenesis of GC and CRC. Our data also suggest that multi-regional mutation analysis is needed for a better evaluation of the mutation status in CRC.</P>

<P>Various tumour markers have been evaluated in malignant pleural effusions, but not CD66c. This study evaluated the diagnostic ability of CD66c in lung adenocarcinoma-associated malignant pleural effusions (LA-MPEs) and compared it with other known tumour markers. Forty-seven cases of LA-MPE and 52 cases of benign pleural effusions were collected. The levels of CD66c, CEA, CA 19-9, and CYFRA 21-1 were measured by enzyme immunoassay. The expression of CD66c, CEA, and CA 19-9 in cell blocks was measured by immunocytochemistry. CEA had the best diagnostic values, with a sensitivity of 87.2% and specificity of 92.3%. Both CD66c and CA 19-9 showed the highest specificity of 98.1%, with sensitivities of 63.8% and 55.3%, respectively. CYFRA 21-1 had a sensitivity of 83.0% and specificity of 76.9%. CEA combined with CA 19-9 reached a sensitivity of 91.5% and a specificity of 98.1%. The sensitivities of immunocytochemical staining for CD66c, CEA, and CA 19-9 were 72.5%, 75%, and 40%, respectively. CD66c showed a diagnostic performance comparable to CYFRA 21-1 and CA 19-9 by enzyme immunoassay. Immunocytochemical study showed that CD66c and CEA were more sensitive than CA19-9. Both studies support CD66c as a potential tumour marker to differentiate LA-MPE from benign effusions.</P>
