Expressions of Poly(ADP-ribose) Glycohydrolase(PARG) and Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase(MT1-MMP) in Colorectal Carcinoma

Objective：To investigate the significance of Poly（ADP-ribose） glycolhydrolase（PARG） and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase（MT1-MMP） expressions in human colorectal carcinoma.Methods：Immunohistochemical staining for PARG and MT1-MMP was carried out on colorectal adenoma-carcinoma tissue microarrays containing normal colorectal mucosae,adenoma,adenoma with malignant transformation and adenocarcinoma（total 130 specimens）.The expressions of PARG and MT1-MMP in the GLTN [Gallotannin]-treated and GLTN-untreated lovo cells were detected by Western Blot.Results：PARG expression in adenocarcinoma（83.1%） and adenoma with malignant transformation（66.7%） was significantly higher than that in normal colorectal mucosa（10%） and adenoma（10.5%）.Expression of MT1-MMp in normal colorectal mucosa and adenoma was negative,while the expression in adenocarcinoma（80.3%） and adenoma with malignant transformation（72.2%） was high.The expressions of PARG and MT1-MMP in adenocarcinoma with metastasis and in late tumor stages were significantly higher than those in adenocarcinoma with no metastasis and in early tumor stages.Thus,PARG expression shows a positive correlation with the expression of MT1-MMP.The expressions of PARG and MT1-MMP in GLTN-treated lovo cells were weaker than that in GLTN-untreated lovo cells.Conclusion：The expression of PARG was probably related to the development of colorectal carcinoma.PARG may play an important role for the regulation of MT1-MMP expression in colorectal carcinoma.

Expert Consensus on Pathological Diagnosis of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma(2022 version)

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(iCCA)can originate from the large bile duct group(segment bile ducts and area bile ducts),small bile duct group(septal bile ducts and interlobular bile ducts),and terminal bile duct group(bile ductules and canals of Hering)of the intrahepatic biliary tree,which can be histopathological corresponding to large duct type iCCA,small duct type iCCA and iCCA with ductal plate malformation pattern,and cholangiolocarcinoma,respectively.The challenge in pathological diagnosis of above subtypes of iCCA falls in the distinction of cellular morphologies,tissue structures,growth patterns,invasive behaviors,immunophenotypes,molecular mutations,and surgical prognoses.For these reasons,this expert consensus provides nine recommendations as a reference for standardizing and refining the diagnosis of pathological subtypes of iCCA,mainly based on the 5th edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of the Digestive System.
