To investigate the diagnostic role of STAT6 immunohistochemistry in solitary fibrous tumors (SFT)/meningeal hemangiopericytomas (HPC).
Evaluated the expression of STAT6, vimentin, CD34, EMA, PR, S-100, CD56, GFAP and Ki-67 in a cohort of 37 SFT/meningeal HPC, 30 meningiomas and 30 schwannomas by immunohistochemistry staining.
All SFT/meningeal HPC demonstrated nuclear positivity for STAT6, and the proportion of positive tumor cells ranged from 60% to 95%, with no significant difference cases.Vimentin was strongly positive in all cases. CD34, EMA and PR positivity was found in 32 cases, 1 case and 4 cases, respectively.S-100 protein, CD56 and GFAP were negative; Ki-67 labeling index was 1%-8%. However, the meningiomas and schwannomas were negative for STAT6.
STAT6 is a relatively specific biomarker for SFT/meningeal HPC, and may be used in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of SFT/meningeal HPC, especially for the atypical cases, and allows the precise pathologic diagnosis of SFT/meningeal HPC.
探讨信号转导和转录激活因子6(STAT6)免疫组化在孤立性纤维性肿瘤(SFT)/脑膜血管外皮细胞瘤(HPC)中的诊断作用。
采用免疫组化染色法评估37例SFT/脑膜HPC、30例脑膜瘤和30例神经鞘瘤中STAT6、波形蛋白、CD34、上皮膜抗原(EMA)、孕激素受体(PR)、S-100、CD56、胶质纤维酸性蛋白(GFAP)和Ki-67的表达情况。
所有SFT/脑膜HPC的STAT6均呈细胞核阳性,阳性肿瘤细胞比例为60%至95%,各病例间无显著差异。波形蛋白在所有病例中均呈强阳性。CD34、EMA和PR阳性分别见于32例、1例和4例。S-100蛋白、CD56和GFAP均为阴性;Ki-67标记指数为1%至8%。然而,脑膜瘤和神经鞘瘤的STAT6呈阴性。
STAT6是SFT/脑膜HPC相对特异的生物标志物,可用于SFT/脑膜HPC的诊断及鉴别诊断,尤其是非典型病例,有助于准确病理诊断SFT/脑膜HPC。
