Another interesting study is called, Value of the Ber-EP4 antibody in differentiating epithelial pleural mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma : The M.D. Anderson experience and a critical review of the literature - American Society of Clinical Pathologists, Chicago, IL, ETATS-UNIS (1931) (Revue) by ORDONEZ N. G. (1) ; 1998, vol. 109, no1, pp. 85-89 (21 ref.) Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Although most studies have indicated that Ber-EP4 immunostaining can assist in differentiating epithelial pleural mesotheliomas from adenocarcinomas that metastasize to the pleura, the percentage of positive cases has varied greatly among different studies. Authors of a recent publication concluded that Ber-EP4 has no diagnostic utility in separating these conditions. To determine whether Ber-EP4 has any value in distinguishing mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma, 70 formalin-fixed epithelial pleural mesotheliomas, 20 pulmonary adenocarcinomas, 59 nonpulmonary adenocarcinomas, 4 squamous cell carcinomas of the lung, 6 transitional cell carcinomas, and 31 adenocarcinomas of unknown origin that metastasized to the pleura were stained with this antibody. Reactivity was observed in 18 (26%) of 70...more

An interesting study is called, Dickkopf-1 antagonizes Wnt signaling independent of -catenin in human Mesothelioma - Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - Volume 323, Issue 4, 29 October 2004, Pages 1246-1250 by Amie Y. Lee, Biao He, Liang You, Zhidong Xu, Julien Mazieres, Noemi Reguart, Iwao Mikami, Sonny Batra and David M. Jablons Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Dickkopf-1 (Dkk-1) is a secreted protein that acts as a potent inhibitor of the Wnt signal transduction pathway. It is thought that the antagonistic effect of Dkk-1 is specific to the canonical (Wnt/-catenin) pathway. In this study, we demonstrate that restoration of Dkk-1 expression suppresses cell growth and induces apoptotic cell death in -catenin-deficient mesothelioma cell lines H28 and MS-1. Furthermore, we found that a small-molecule inhibitor of JNK inhibited the apoptosis induced by Dkk-1 overexpression in these cells. Together, our data suggest that Dkk-1 may be able to antagonize Wnt signaling and exert its tumor suppressive effects through -catenin-independent non-canonical pathways.Another interesting study is called, Lysis of human malignant mesothelioma cells by natural killer (NK) and...more
