Islet-1 Is Differentially Expressed Among Neuroendocrine and Non-Neuroendocrine Tumors and Its Potential Diagnostic Implication.
International Journal of Surgical Pathology 2023 October
Islet-1 (ISL1) plays key roles in programming the epigenome and facilitating the recruitment of additional regulatory factors. Although it has been used as a marker for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs), ISL1 reactivity in other tumor types are critically missing. ISL1 immunohistochemistry was performed on 147 neuroendocrine tumors (NET) originated in pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, lung, thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal medulla, head/neck, genitourinary tract, and skin; and 110 non-neuroendocrine tumors originated in the pancreas, thymus, lung, thyroid, mesothelium, adrenal cortex, stomach, breast, head/neck, skin, and kidney. ISL1 nuclear staining was observed in normal thymic epithelium, pancreatic islets, adrenal medulla, and pituitary gland cells as well as frequently in tumors of these origins: pancreatic NET (78%), paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma (100%), thymoma (82%), and pituitary NET (50%). ISL1 was also variably expressed in certain non-pancreatic NET such as Merkel cell carcinoma (100%), medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (100%), head/neck NEC (80%), genitourinary NEC (71%), lung small cell carcinoma (46%), lung carcinoids (17%), lower intestinal tract NET (93%) but not in upper gastrointestinal tract NET nor parathyroid adenoma. For other non-NETs, focal ISL1 expression was less frequently detected in gastric adenocarcinoma (40%), mesothelioma (29%), adrenal cortical carcinoma (17%), and squamous carcinoma (24%), but not in others tested. ISL1 is not a pan-NE marker as it is consistently lacking in upper gastrointestinal NET and parathyroid adenoma. It is also differentially expressed in thymoma. ISL1 immunohistochemnistry could help to differentiate PanNET and lower intestinal NET from upper gastrointestinal NET and be used as a marker for thymoma.
