Background. The phenotypic expression of tumor cells is widely thought to resemble that of the tissue of origin. In the present study, to assess phenotypic changes that occur with disease progression, we investigated human differentiated gastric cancers at different depths of invasion for component cancer cell types.
Methods. Using a combined mucin histochemical and immunohistochemical approach, we classified surgical specimens of 301 differentiated gastric cancers into three types: gastric epithelial cell (G) type, intestinal epithelial cell (I) type and mixed gastric and intestinal (GI) type, according to the phenotypic differentiation of the component cancer cells. The relation between the phenotypic type of cancer and their depth of invasion was evaluated.
Results. The proportion of G type cancers was 41.4% in early (tumor invasion of mucosa or submucosa) cases, decreasing to 22.2% in advanced (tumor invasion of muscularis propia or deeper) cases, whereas the proportion of I type cancers increased with progressive disease from 23.5% to 31.1% (P < 0.01). Cancers invading the subserosa or deeper included more I type cases and fewer G type than cancers limited to the mucosa (P < 0.01). In most cases of each phenotypic type, intestinal metaplasia was recognized in the surrounding background mucosa, but no clear relation was shown between the phenotype of cancers and the degree of intestinal metaplasia in the background mucosa, suggesting that intestinal metaplasia is not always a preneoplastic lesion.
Conclusions. A phenotypic shift from G to I type expression was observed with the progression of human differentiated gastric cancers. Intestinalization may occur independently in cancerous and noncancerous gastric mucosa.
