METHODS: We examined microvessel density, lymphatic vessel density, the Ki-67 labeling index, expression of MUC1 and Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) in tumor cells, and expression of cathepsin D in stromal cells at the invasive front by immunostaining of samples resected from 214 patients with submucosal colorectal cancer. Pathologic features were assessed on hematoxylin-eosin- stained samples. We evaluated the relations between clinicopathologic/immunohistochemical features and lymph node metastasis. RESULTS: Lesions of the superficial type, with an unfavorable histologic grade, budding, lymphatic involvement, high microvessel density (≥ 40), high lymphatic vessel density (≥ 9), high Ki-67 labeling index (≥ 42), and positivity of MUC1, cathepsin D, and MMP-7 showed a significantly high incidence of lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analysis revealed that high microvessel density, unfavorable histologic grade, cathepsin D positivity, high lymphatic vessel density, superficial type, budding, and MUC1 positivity were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis.A combined examination with four independent immunohistochemical markers (microvessel density, cathepsin D, lymphatic vessel density, and MUC1) revealed that all lesions that were negative for all markers or positive for only one marker were negative for lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION: Analysis of a combination of immuno- histochemical molecular markers in endoscopically resected specimens of submucosal colorectal cancer allows prediction of curability regardless of the pathologic features visible of hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections.展开更多

No epimerization was observed during ligation reations. In this work, the selenoester of unprotected glycopeptide was readily prepared, and the direct aminolysis of glycopeptide selenoester was successfully applied to synthesize MUC1 mucin sequence efficiently.展开更多
