Abstract 34P

Background

Chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) is expressed by several malignancies, and it is involved in cell migration and metastasis. The histological growth pattern (HGP) such as desmoplastic (DGP), replacement (RGP), pushing (PGP) and mixed has been noticed in the liver metastases of colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, breast and uveal melanoma origin. The aim of this abstract is to determine the CLIC 1 immunoexpression variability amongst different liver metastasis HGP.

Methods

We included in the study primary tumors from colorectal (15), pancreatic (7) and gastric cancer (2 cases), and their corresponding liver metastasis (LM). The full immunohistochemical procedure was performed with Bond Max autostainer. The CLIC 1 reaction was evaluated according with the following score: 0 (less than 10% positive cells), 1(10-30%), 2 (30-50%) and score 3 (more than 50% CLIC 1 positive cells).

Results

All LM expressed CLIC 1 heterogeneously. CLIC 1 intensity score values varied between 1 and 3. CLIC 1 positive liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and cells with starry-like morphology were noticed under the liver capsule (numerous in the PGP, few in the DGP) and around of the metastatic area (in the RGP). A granular cytoplasmic with membrane enhancement pattern was found only in the DGP, and together with nuclear expression in RGP and PGP (with highest intensity in the peripheral cells of metastatic area). A significant relation between CLIC 1 score in primary tumors and in LM (p=0.036) was found. It was identified an interrelation between RGP and CLIC 1 in metastasis but not in primary tumors. A similar correlation was found between CLIC 1 score in colorectal primary tumor and corresponding LM (p=0,039). CLIC 1 score in primary colorectal tumor was significant correlated to HGP (pushing and replacement), p=0.05.

Conclusions

Our data support CLIC 1 expression and HGP as important indicators of clinical evolution, mainly in the PGP and RGP of liver metastasis with digestive origin.
