AIMS
Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (ID1) plays a role in cellular differentiation, proliferation, angiogenesis and tumor invasion. As shown recently, ID1 is positively regulated by the tyrosine kinase SRC in lung carcinoma cell lines and with that appears as a potential new therapeutic target in non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC). To substantiate this hypothesis we examined ID1, SRC and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) immunohistochemically in human NSCLC specimens.
METHODS
From 61 consecutive patient tissue samples of a tumor tissue bank a one core tissue microarray (TMA) was produced and whole slide tissue samples of preinvasive lesions used. The staining of commercial antibodies was assessed by the H-score. Statistical analyses based on Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.
RESULTS
ID1 was expressed in the nucleus in 70% of squamous cell carcinomas and 50% of non-squamous cell carcinomas and in vascular endothelium of non-tumor tissue. Cytoplasmic staining was found in all samples for SRC and in 93% for MMP-9. ID1-positive tissue samples co-expressed SRC and MMP-9 in 94%. In non-squamous cell carcinomas, H-scores of ID1 and SRC correlated with each other (p=0.04). H-score of MMP-9 correlated with tumor grade (p=0.04). The carcinoma findings were reflected in preinvasive lesions.
CONCLUSIONS
We describe for the first time the immunohistochemical expression of ID1 in the majority of NSCLC samples. The almost general co-expression of ID1, SRC and MMP-9 supports their cooperation in vivo and warrants further investigation of ID1 as a therapeutic target.
