Increased expression of alpha-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase (AMACR; p504s) and p16 in distal hyperplastic polyps

چکیده
Background Hyperplastic polyps (HP) and sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) share morphological similarities. In this immunohistochemical study we chose a panel of potential relevant and promising biomarkers including α-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase (AMACR;p504s) , which is involved in the degradation of branched chained fatty acids derivates, and analysed a cohort of HPs and SSAs in order to identify different immunophenotypes in relation to lesion localisation.

متن کاملHigh-throughput screen identifies novel inhibitors of cancer biomarker α-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR/P504S).
α-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR) is a metabolic enzyme whose overexpression has been shown to be a diagnostic indicator of prostatic adenocarcinoma and other solid tumors. Here, we confirm that attenuation of AMACR expression diminishes the growth of prostate cancer cell lines by using stably expressed short-hairpin RNA constructs. This observation strongly suggests that the AMACR enzym...
متن کاملUsing an AMACR (P504S)/34betaE12/p63 cocktail for the detection of small focal prostate carcinoma in needle biopsy specimens.
We assessed the usefulness of immunohistochemical analysis with a 3-antibody cocktail (alpha-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase [AMACR, or P504S], 34betaE12, p63) and a double-chromogen reaction for detection of limited prostate cancer in 138 needle biopsy specimens, including 82 with small foci of prostatic adenocarcinoma and 56 benign prostates. When carcinoma was present, red cytoplasmic granula...
متن کاملThe expression and clinical effects of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR/ P504S) as an immunohistochemical marker in malign pleural mesothelioma.
BACKGROUND/AIM Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), an intracellular enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, has emerged as an immunohistochemical marker for many types of cancer. Recent studies about the role of lipid metabolism in pathogenesis of mesothelioma have brought up some positive results. This study was conducted to investigate AMACR expression in the diagnosis of malignant pleural me...
متن کاملAlpha-methylacyl CoA racemase (P504S): overview and potential uses in diagnostic pathology as applied to prostate needle biopsies.
The diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma remains dependent on the recognition of basic haematoxylin and eosin criteria. The discovery of alpha-methylacyl CoA racemase/P504S (AMACR/P504S) overexpression in prostate cancer represents a triumph of high throughput microarray technology, and is a powerful demonstration of how this methodology can be used to facilitate the rapid development of diagn...
