Stinal type) is associated with a low risk of gastric carcinogenesis, whereas incomplete type (gastricand-intestinal type) denotes a tendency to stomach cancer [38]. Putting our result together, it is suggested that adequate intestinal differentiation of background mucosa can reduce the risk of tubular adenocarcinoma. That is, from the opposite point of view, insufficient intestinal differentiation (intestinal metaplasia) of gastric mucosa may lead to the more undifferentiated gastric 1655472 U 90152 cost tumors. Helicobacter pylori eradication would probably suppress the progression of intestinal differentiation of background mucosa, which might work negatively against prevention of the occurrence of more malignant (undifferentiated) gastric cancer. It is clinically evident that gastric adenoma is much better than tub1-type GC, tub1-type GC is much better than tub2-type GC, and tub2-type GC is much better than por-type GC [49]. Therefore, we are convinced that clinical trial to lower malignant potential of gastric tumor is very important. For that purpose, detailed classification of gastric cancer is essential [5,6], along with accurate estimation of background mucosa based on the balance of “gastric” and “intestinal” properties. We also believed that the effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy on gasric malignancy should be reevaluated, from the standpoint of not only the tumor incidence but also the effect upon differentiation status of gastric cancer.the 78 GC cases endoscopically resected (Table S3), but an obvious correlation could not be detected between them. Nevertheless, strong CTSE expression in almost all sig-type GC cases and more than half of por-type GC cases should be clinically important (Table 2 and 3). These two histological types of GC, categorized into Lauren’s diffuse type, tend to infiltrate into the deeper layer of gastric wall without mass formation [4]. Therefore, scattering infiltration of sig- and por-type GC cells is often difficult to evaluate precisely. Actually, in the case shown in Figure 2A, a small amount of sig-type GC cells infiltrated in the submucosal layer were easily detected with CTSE immunostaining, but were hardly detected with HE Dimethyloxallyl Glycine cost staining or PAS staining. We expect that immunostaining of CTSE will be useful for detecting the scattered GC cells. Based on the present study, we are planning a clinical trial evaluating an efficiency of CTSE immunostaining for assessing the distribution of gastric cancer.Supporting InformationFigure S1 Immunostaining of CTSE in seven cell lines originated from stomach or breast cancer.
