Several prognosis tools have been proposed for canine mast cell tumours, including histological grading and cell proliferation markers. CD117 is a receptor tyrosine kinase thought to play a key role in human and canine mast cell neoplasms. Normal (membrane-associated) and aberrant (cytoplasmic, focal or diffuse) CD117 immunoexpression patterns have been identified in canine mast cell tumours. Cytoplasmic CD117 expression has been found to correlate with higher histological grade and with a worsened post-surgical prognosis. This study addresses the role of CD117 in canine mast cell tumours by studying the correlations between CD117 immunoexpression patterns, two proliferation markers (Ki67 and AgNORs) histological grade, and several other pathological variables.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Highly significant (p &lt; 0,001) correlations were found between CD117 immunostaining patterns and histological grade, cell proliferation markers (Ki67, AgNORs) and tumoral necrosis. Highly significant (p &lt; 0,001) correlations were also established between the two cellular proliferation markers and histological grade, tumour necrosis and epidermal ulceration. A significant correlation (p = 0.035) was observed between CD117 expression patterns and epidermal ulceration. No differences were observed between focal and diffuse cytoplasmic CD117 staining patterns concerning any of the variables studied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings highlight the key role of CD117 in the biopathology of canine MCTs and confirm the relationship between aberrant CD117 expression and increased cell proliferation and higher histological grade. Further studies are needed to unravel the cellular mechanisms underlying focal and diffuse cytoplasmic CD117 staining patterns, and their respective biopathologic relevance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1746-6148-3-19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,21]],"date-time":"2007-08-21T18:13:38Z","timestamp":1187720018000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["CD117 immunoexpression in canine mast cell tumours: correlations with pathological variables and proliferation markers"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Rui M","family":"Gil da Costa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Eduarda","family":"Matos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Rema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"C\u00e9lia","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria A","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"F\u00e1tima","family":"G\u00e4rtner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"65_CR1","first-page":"105","volume-title":"Tumors in domestic animals","author":"MH Goldschmidt","year":"2002","unstructured":"Goldschmidt MH, Hendrick MJ: Tumours of the skin and soft tissues.
