We studied expressions of various growth factors, their receptors, cell adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components in Warthin's tumor of the salivary gland with immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Various growth factors and their receptors, such as transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), TGF-beta2, TG-beta3, insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and -II, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), EGF receptor (EGFR), erb-B4, TGF-betaRI and II, Flt and Flk-1 and IGF receptor Ibeta, were found in epithelial cells and/or in some lymphoid cells. Fibronectin, laminin, collagen type IV and tenascin were found in stroma of the lymphoid tissue. Integrins such as alpha3beta1 and beta3, Thy-1, CD44 and VCAM-1 were also expressed in epithelial and/or lymphoid cells. These various proteins may interact and regulate the proliferation and cell attachment of both epithelial and lymphoid components in this unique tumor.
