Consistent expression of guanylyl cyclase-C in primary and metastatic gastrointestinal cancers
BACKGROUND The transmembrane receptor guanylate cyclase-C (GCC) has been found to be expressed in colorectal cancers. However, limited data are available on GCC protein expression in non-colorectal gastrointestinal tumors and few studies have reported whether GCC protein expression was consistently preserved in synchronous primary and metastatic cancer tissues. METHODS GCC protein status was ...
متن کاملComparison of c-Kit expression between primary and metastatic melanoma of skin and mucosa
Background: Melanoma causes the greatest morbidity and mortality of all skin cancers. Mucosal melanoma is a rare but highly aggressive neoplasm. According to previous studies the prevalence of KIT mutations in acrallentiginous and mucosal melanomas is relatively low (less than 15–20%), but it can have profound therapeutic implications for localized high risk or metastatic diseases. Our goal w...
متن کاملGlycosylation of human receptor guanylyl cyclase C
Background Post translational modifications regulate several signalling pathways and glycosylation is emerging as a key player in this regulatory process. Glycosylation of cell surface receptors modulate the downstream signalling pathway and when altered causes a change in the normal physiology of the cell [1]. Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) belongs to a group of membrane bound receptors that produc...
متن کاملEctopic expression of guanylyl cyclase C in adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and stomach.
Guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C), a receptor specifically expressed in cells originating from differentiated intestinal epithelium, is a marker and therapeutic target for colorectal cancer metastases. Intestinal metaplasia, in which epithelial cells assume histological and molecular characteristics of differentiated intestinal enterocytes, is a common precursor to adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and ...
متن کاملExpression of the intestinal biomarkers Guanylyl cyclase C and CDX2 in poorly differentiated colorectal carcinomas.
Guanylyl cyclase C, a receptor for bacterial diarrheagenic enterotoxins, is expressed selectively by intestinal epithelium and is an endogenous downstream target of CDX2. The expression of Guanylyl cyclase C is preserved throughout the adenoma/carcinoma sequence in the colorectum. Detection of Guanylyl cyclase C expression by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction is currently being va...
