Expression of the extracellular matrix protein tenascin in malignant and benign ovarian tumours

Abstract: Summary The extracellular matrix protein tenascin (TN) is overexpressed in a number of solid tumours. This, however, is the first study to examine TN expression in ovarian tumours. TN protein was examined in frozen sections of 50 human ovarian tumours by immunohistochemistry. Malignant and borderline tumours showed a significantly greater incidence and intensity of stromal staining than benign tumours (P<0.0001 and P=0.038 respectively). Seven omental metastases were also examined and showed a strikingly simil… Show more

“…These cells produce predominantly the large 320-kDa-splice variant, which is not incorporated into the matrix but is diffused into the media. These latter results are supported in the literature for several other malignancies Carnemolla et al, 1992;Wilson et al, 1996). We have continued our investigation in order to clarify the role that the two major TNC isoforms play in the adhesive/anti-adhesive properties of the chondrosarcoma cell.…”

“…This was particularly recognized in the cases of prominent tenascin-C staining at the invasion borders [130][131][132]. Similar findings were made for uterine and ovarian cancers where intense stromal tenascin-C staining was found in malignant tumours [133,134]. However, in one report it was noted that despite a high percentage of strong tenascin-C staining in invasive cancers, the few tenascin-C-negative invasive cases appeared to have an even worse prognosis [135].…”
