چکیده
UNLABELLED AIMS AND BACKGROUND; Hepatic tissues, including bile canaliculi and sinusoids, around primary or metastatic tumors are destructed and regenerate associated with tumor growth, and may show some phenotypic changes. The present study was undertaken to examine the expression of CD10 in bile canaliculi [CD10(BC)] and CD105 (endoglin) along hepatic sinusoids [CD105(HS)] in peritumoral hepatic tissue (PTH). METHODS Fifty samples of resected liver bearing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or metastatic carcinoma were immunostained for CD10 and CD105. The immunoreactivity for CD10(BC) and CD105(HS) in the background hepatic tissue of tumors and PTH was scored separately. RESULTS CD10(BC) was moderately or markedly expressed in the background hepatic tissue without chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis in most of the cases, and was significantly downregulated in chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. CD105(HS) was negative or minimally positive in most of the cases of hepatic tissue bearing metastatic carcinoma, and showed a significant increase in chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Compared with the background, PTH revealed significantly decreased CD10(BC) staining irrespective of HCC or metastatic carcinoma, and showed belt-like CD105(HS) expression in 66.7% of the cases of metastatic carcinoma and in 88.6% of those with HCC. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that the expression patterns of CD10(BC) and CD105(HS) in PTH are similar to those in chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, which may be caused by persistent injury and resultant regeneration of hepatic tissue.

Evaluation of Endoglin as an Angiogenesis Marker in Glioblastoma
Background and Objectives: Angiogenesis is essential for growth and metastasis of solid malignancies. Tumor vessel count and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent angiogenic factor, have been associated with prognosis. This study was designed to assess vessels density by using CD31 and CD105 (Endoglin) and their correlation with expression of VEGF and prolif...

متن کاملEndoglin (CD105) and microvessel density in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Recent studies revealed that CD105 is intensively expressed in tumor vasculature, and may be an important prognostic indicator for the outcome in a number of malignancies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the CD105 expression and microvessel density in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Nineteen surgical specimens with OSCC were immunohistochemical analyzed with CD105 (Endoglin). We deter...
متن کاملPolarized expression of drug transporters in differentiated human hepatoma HepaRG cells.
The HepaRG cell line is a well-differentiated human hepatoma cell line proposed as a surrogate for human hepatocytes, especially for hepatic detoxification studies. Polarized status of drug transporters, i.e., their coordinated location at sinusoidal or canalicular membranes, which represents a key hallmark of hepato-biliary drug transport, remains however incompletely documented in HepaRG cell...
