Immunohistochemical Detection of Phosphoproteins and Cancer Pathways
نویسندگان
چکیده
The immunohistochemical detection and quantification of phosphoprotein levels can provide valuable information regarding the activation of cell signaling pathways within tumor samples, with potential implications for prognosis and treatment selection. However, phosphoprotein levels may be affected by clinical tissue handling, hypoxia and other cellular stressors prior to tissue fixation. The preservation of phosphoproteins may also heavily ...

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Human p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein Content in Ductal Carcinoma in Situ of the Breast
The focus of this study was to determine if early detection of mutant p53 accumulation may be an early indicator of tumor aggressiveness and transformation to invasive breast cancer. For this purpose, the p53 content of 100 human breast biopsies classified as ductal carcinoma (DCIS), was evaluated by immunohistochemical method. All specimens were microscopically classified into histologic types...
متن کاملHigh Sensitivity Detection and Quantitation of Phosphoproteins in 1D and 2D Gels using the ProXPRESS Imager & ProFINDER 2D Image Analysis Software
of specific subsets of posttranslationally modified proteins has become a major area of activity in the proteomic analysis of biological systems. Phosphoproteins are a focus for much of this research owing to their importance in cell signaling and metabolic control. The determination of the phosphorylation state of proteins is important with respect to defining protein kinase substrates, as wel...
متن کاملOne-Step Preservation of Phosphoproteins and Tissue Morphology at Room Temperature for Diagnostic and Research Specimens
BACKGROUND There is an urgent need to measure phosphorylated cell signaling proteins in cancer tissue for the individualization of molecular targeted kinase inhibitor therapy. However, phosphoproteins fluctuate rapidly following tissue procurement. Snap-freezing preserves phosphoproteins, but is unavailable in most clinics and compromises diagnostic morphology. Formalin fixation preserves tissu...
متن کاملTLR2 and TLR4 Signaling Pathways and Gastric Cancer: Insights from Transcriptomics and Sample Validation
Background: Pattern recognition receptors, especially toll-like receptors (TLRs), as the first line of defense for pathogen detection, were found to be associated with H. pylori infection and gastric cancer (GC). However, the expression levels of TLRs, i.e. TLR2 and TLR4, as the main receptors sensed by H. pylori, still remain largely ambiguous. We aimed to investigate the patterns of key tra...
متن کاملThe association between CD166 detection rate and clinicopathologic parameters of Patients with colorectal cancer
Background: Metastasis and recurrence of colorectal cancer after treatment is attributed to stem cells. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the expression of stem cell marker CD166 in colorectal cancer by immunohistochemistry and clinicopathologic parameters.Methods: From 2006 to 2012, 121 colectomy specimens of patients with colon cancer that were operated in Babol...
