| Research Abstract |
In normal human tissues, 14-3-3 σ protein was exclusively present in various epithelial cells, of which squamous epithelia at various sites showed the strongest immunoreactivity and basal cells of respiratory tract or myoepithelial cells of various organs followed. In non-small cell carcinoma of the lung, squamous cell carcinoma expressed stronger immunoreactivity for 14-3-3 σ protein than adenocarcinoma. In human colon cancers, immunoreactivity for 14-3-3 σ protein varied from area to area or case to case. However, there was a tendency to be positive for 14-3-3 σ expression at tumor invasion front. Molecular biological study revealed that DNA methylation of the gene did not influence the expression of the 14-3-3 σ gene in colon cancers. In breast carcinogenesis, down-regulation of 14-3-3 σ protein was well correlated with its progression. In ductal carcinoma lesions, even in non-invasive, marked down-regulation of 14-3-3 σ expression was observed. Breast borderline lesion, columnar cell hyperplasia with atypia showed different 14-3-3 σ expression pattern from that of ductal cancer lesion, suggesting it to be precancerous lesion of the breast.
