Background. The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of cathepsin D in the invasiveness of human gastric cancer. Methods. Immunohistochemical cathepsin D staining was performed in samples from 29 early gastric adenocarcinomas (papillary or tubular adenocarcinoma) and 15 gastric adenomas, and their adjacent nonneoplastic gastric mucosa. We classified the patterns of cathepsin D immunostaining into four types; type A, fine granular staining in the apical portion; type B, intense coarse granular staining in the apical portion; type C, fine granular staining in the basal portion; and type D, diffuse granular staining throughout the cytoplasm. Results. All of the nonneoplastic mucosa showed an apical cytoplasmic distribution pattern (type A or type B). However, 20% (2/10) of low-grade gastric adenomas and 60% (3/5) of high-grade gastric adenomas showed an abnormal staining pattern, i.e., types C and D. Moreover, 82% (9/11) definite intramucosal gastric adenocarcinomas, and the majority of gastric adenocarcinomas with submucosal invasion [83% (15/18) of those in the mucosal part and 100% (14/14) of those in the invasive submucosal part] showed an abnormal staining pattern (types C and D). Interestingly, most of the carcinoma cells invading the stroma and lymphatics showed the type D staining pattern. Conclusions. These results indicate that an abnormal cytoplasmic staining pattern of cathepsin D may reflect the invasive potential of gastric carcinoma cells.
