Ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas usually retained SMAD4 and p53 protein status as well as expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition markers and cell cycle regulators at the stage of liver metastasis

Abstract: There are limited data on the biology of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aim of the present study was to compare the expression of immunohistochemical markers that may be involved in the development of metastatic disease in primary PDAC and in synchronous liver metastatic tissues. Thirty-two stains (corresponding to proteins encoded by 31 genes: SMAD4, TP53, ACTA2, CDH1, CDKN1A, CLDN1, CLDN4, CLDN7, CTNNB1, EGFR, ERBB2, FN1, KRT19, MAPK1/MAPK3, MAPK14, MKI67, MMP2, MMP9, MUC1 (3 antibod… Show more

“…For example, the mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3) gene was revealed as an upregulated DEG in S12 vs. C12 and S24 vs. C24 (data not shown). MAPK3 serves a role in a signaling cascade that mediates various cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation and CC progression, in response to a variety of extracellular signals (29).…”

“…We found that abnormal expression was closely related to the late N stage, late TNM stage, and poor tumor differentiation, which may reflect the invasive and metastatic biology of tumors with TP53 mutations 26 . We also found that p53 expression categories were superior to tumor grade, which was regularly included in pathological reports.…”

“…128 In cases of SMDA4-deficient PDACs, TP53 usually has a missense mutation. 129 Both TP53 and SMAD4 inactivation occur in the late stages of PDAC, but TP53 mutations occur earlier than SMAD4 loss. TP53 mutations and SMAD4 loss occur mainly in aggressive PDACs and they may be markers of high metastatic potential for tumors.…”
