Identification of endosialin, a cell surface glycoprotein of vascular endothelial cells in human cancer.

Abstract: Cell surface antigens of transformed cells are the traditional targets for antibody-guided detection and therapy of solid neoplasms. Alternative targets may be found in the tumor stroma, which contains newly formed blood vessels, reactive fibroblasts, and extracellular matrix proteins. The F19 cell surface glycoprotein of reactive fibroblasts is a prototypic stromal antigen since it is found in the stroma of >90% of common epithelial cancers but is absent or expressed at low levels in normal tissues and benign… Show more

“…7 In cultured cells, expression of endosialin has only been reported on fibroblasts and some neuroblastoma cell lines. [6][7][8][9] This pattern is reflected in normal adult tissue, where endosialin expression is predominantly restricted to stromal fibroblasts, and in agreement with the SAGE analysis of St Croix et al 5 little or no endosialin is detected in the mature, normal vasculature. [9][10][11][12][13] In contrast, there is a marked upregulation of endosialin expression in the angiogenic vasculature of a wide variety of different tumor types including those of the brain, colon, breast and in tumor xenografts.…”

“…Endosialin was first identified as the epitope for monoclonal antibody FB5 6 and staining with this antibody revealed an upregulation of endosialin expression in the vasculature of a variety of human tumors. Despite reporting that this represented expression on the endothelial cells, the cell type distribution was not validated by double labeling with endothelial markers.…”

“…Endosialin/CD248/TEM-1 was first identified in 1992 as the antigen of an antibody designated FB5 that was raised in mice inoculated with human fetal fibroblasts 495051. In tissues, FB5 reacted strongly with vascular cells in 67% of malignant tumor specimens and more weakly with stromal fibroblasts in a subset of specimens.…”
