Demonstration of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) expression in normal, chronically inflamed, and malignant pancreatic tissue by immunohistochemistry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was evaluated by immunoperoxidase staining with two anti-CEA monoclonal antibodies in normal, chronically inflamed, and malignant pancreatic tissue. Positive staining was not observed in normal specimens. In pancreatic cancer the expression of CEA was related to the degree of differentiation of the tumour. Positive staining was also observed in chronic pancreatitis.

Evaluation of the Relationship between Peroxisome Proliferator Receptors (PPARα, PPARγ, and PPARδ) Expression and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
Introduction: Studies have shown that an increase in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is associated with the progression of colorectal cancer and is considered a sensitive diagnostic factor for CRC. Moreover, the role of peroxisome proliferators (PPARs) has recently been considered in colorectal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression level of PPARs and CEA...
متن کاملCarcinoembryonic Antigen Expression and Resistance to Radiation-and 5-Fluorouracil-Induced Apoptosis and Autophagy
Understanding the mechanism of tumor resistance is critical for cancer therapy. In this study, we investigated the effect of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) overexpression on UV-and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced apoptosis and autophagy in colorectal cancer cells. We used histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, NaB and DNA demethylating agent, 5- azacytidine (5-AZA) to induce CEA expression in HT29...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Preoperative Serum Carcinoembryonic Antigen Levels and Expression on Pancreatic and Rectal Cancer Tissue
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-targeted imaging and therapeutic agents are being tested in clinical trials. If CEA overexpression in malignant tissue corresponds with elevated serum CEA, serum CEA could assist in selecting patients who may benefit from CEA-targeted agents. This study aims to assess the relationship between serum CEA and CEA expression in pancreatic (n = 20) and rectal cancer ti...
متن کاملDemonstration and immunochemical characterization of carcinoembryonic antigen in human pancreatic juice.
Pancreatic juice collected from 10 patients without evidence of malignant disease of the pancreas or other organs was pooled, extracted, and fractionated by Sepharose 6-B and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) activity in the material was demonstrated and studied by: a) radioimmunoassay, b) competitive binding to antibodies against CEA, c) precipitin inhibition, a...
متن کاملClassification and localisation of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) related antigen expression in normal oesophageal squamous mucosa and squamous carcinoma.
Using a panel of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) related antibodies in normal oesophageal squamous mucosa CEA expression is present on suprabasal squames localised to the cell membrane. Immunoblotting shows that this positivity is predominantly due to a glycoprotein of around 180 kDa representing CEA itself. Positivity in squamous carcinomas is confined to cells in foci of squamous differentiati...
