چکیده

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are characterized by activating mutations of KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor α(PDGFRA), which can be therapeutically targeted by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as imatinib. Despite long-lasting responses, most patients eventually progress after TKI therapy. The calcium-dependent chloride channel DOG1 (ANO1/TMEM16A), which is strongly and specifically expressed in GIST, is used as a diagnostic marker to differentiate GIST from other sarcomas. Here, we report that loss of DOG1 expression occurs together with loss of KIT expression in a subset of GIST resistant to KIT inhibitors, and we illustrate the functional role of DOG1 in tumor growth, KIT expression, and imatinib response. Although DOG1 is a crucial regulator of chloride balance in GIST cells, we found that RNAi-mediated silencing or pharmacologic inhibition of DOG1 did not alter cell growth or KIT signaling in vitro. In contrast, DOG1 silencing delayed the growth of GIST xenografts in vivo. Expression profiling of explanted tumors after DOG1 blockade revealed a strong upregulation in the expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), a potent antiangiogenic factor implicated in tumor suppression. Similar results were obtained after selection of imatinib-resistant DOG1- and KIT-negative cells derived from parental DOG1 and KIT-positive GIST cells, where a 5,000-fold increase in IGFBP5 mRNA transcripts were documented. In summary, our findings establish the oncogenic activity of DOG1 in GIST involving modulation of IGF/IGF receptor signaling in the tumor microenvironment through the antiangiogenic factor IGFBP5.

Gastrointestinal tract spindle cell tumors with interstitial cells of Cajal: Prevalence excluding gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Leiomyomas and schwannomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are mainly comprised of spindle-shaped tumor cells and should always be differentiated from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit (KIT) and discovered on GIST-1 (DOG1) are well-known diagnostic markers for the detection of a GIST by immunohistochemical staining. The aim of the present stu...

DOG1 antibody in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors: a study of 1840 cases.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), KIT or platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) signaling driven mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI)-tract and abdomen, require a precise diagnosis so that the patients may benefit from the newly introduced tyrosine kinase inhibitor drugs. The limitations of the current main tools, KIT immunohistochemistry and KIT/PDGFRA mutatio...

A KIT-negative, DOG1-positive epithelioid GIST of the stomach harboring a novel PDGFRA exon 14 single nucleotide deletion.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common primary mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, and most of them harbor KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) gain-of-function mutations. Proper diagnostic assessment of GISTs has become very important since the availability of the molecular-targeted therapy with imatinib mesylate. Histopathology remai...

The Diagnostic and Prognostic Utility of DOG1 Expression on Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to review our archives in order to evaluate both the diagnostic and prognostic significance of DOG1 on gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and add further insight about those issues to the current literature including some conflicting results. MATERIAL AND METHOD DOG1 was evaluated in 100 cases of GISTs, immunohistochemically. Immunostaining index was counted for each ...

Is DOG1 Immunoreactivity Specific to Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor?

BACKGROUND DOG1 is a novel gene on gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that encodes the chloride channel protein anoctamin 1, also known as discovered on GIST-1 (DOG1) protein. DOG1 antibodies are a sensitive and specific marker against GIST positive for CD117 and CD34 and negative for CD117 and CD34. DOG1 is also independent of KIT or PDGFRA mutation status and considered specific for GIST...
