Oncol. Res."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), the most common mesenchymal tumor of the human gastrointestinal tract, differentiating toward the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC), arises predominantly in the stomach and small intestine. Small intestinal GISTs appear to have worse prognosis than gastric GISTs. In a pilot study of a cDNA expression chip using several GISTs, we found that Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (CADM1), which could contribute to tumor growth and infiltration, is expressed more strongly in small intestinal GISTs than gastric GISTs. In the present study, we examined <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic> expression in GISTs of different sites and with different gene abnormalities using a large number of gastric and small intestinal GISTs. First, immunoblotting confirmed significantly higher CADM1 expression in small intestinal GISTs with exon 11 c-<jats:italic>kit<\/jats:italic> mutation than gastric GISTs with exon 11 c-<jats:italic>kit<\/jats:italic> mutation. Real-time PCR also revealed that small intestinal GISTs with exon 11 c-<jats:italic>kit<\/jats:italic> mutation showed significantly higher <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic> mRNA than gastric GISTs with exon 11 c-<jats:italic>kit<\/jats:italic> mutation. Although most small intestinal GISTs showed high <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic> mRNA expression regardless of gene abnormality types, different <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic> expression was detected between gastric GISTs with c-<jats:italic>kit<\/jats:italic> mutation and those with <jats:italic>PDGFRA<\/jats:italic> mutation. Immunohistochemistry showed that many small intestinal GISTs were CADM1-positive but most gastric GISTs CADM1-negative or -indefinite. In the normal gastric and small intestinal walls, immunoreactivity of CADM1 was detected only in nerves, but neither in gastric ICCs nor small intestinal ICCs, indicating that the high <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic>expression in small intestinal GISTs might be acquired during tumorigenesis. Different <jats:italic>CADM1<\/jats:italic> expression between gastric and small intestinal GISTs might be related to different prognoses between them. Further functional experiments are needed to elucidate the role of CADM1 on GIST biology, and there is a possibility that targeting therapy against CADM1 has a preventive effect for tumor spreading in small intestinal GISTs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/pore.2021.602008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,19]],"date-time":"2021-04-19T04:11:22Z","timestamp":1618805482000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Differential
