Gene copy number of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) is closely correlated with EGFR protein levels assessed by automated quantitative protein analysis (AQUA)

6023 Background: EGFR overexpression correlates with recurrence and with treatment resistance in HNSCC. The mechanisms of EGFR protein overexpression are poorly understood. Nonetheless, previous investigators have not demonstrated a correlation between EGFR gene copy number and protein content, using conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of EGFR gene copy number and protein expression utilizing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and AQUA, a novel, immunohistochemical method of automated quantitative in situ proteomic analysis which permits subcellular localization. Methods: A tissue microarray composed of 137 HNSCC treated with (chemo)radiation was constructed and analyzed for EGFR copy number by FISH (Vysis/Abbot) and EGFR protein expression (DAKO antibody) using AQUA analysis of EGFR staining scored on a scale of 0–255 and by conventional IHC. Agreement was assessed using kappa. Results: Sixteen (15%) of one-hundred six tumors with FISH results demonstrated EGFR high polysomy and/or gene amplification (FISH+). AQUA demonstrated a range of 3.6–102.2; protein levels assessed by AQUA in the FISH amplified cases were significantly higher (p =0.008) than in the FISH non- amplified ones. Using the EGFR 75th percentile as a cut-off, AQUA and FISH showed significant agreement (percentage of overall agreement 82%, kappa=0.458, p=0.003). To the contrary there was no concordance between FISH and conventional IHC results in this series. Conclusions: The discrepancy between EGFR gene amplification rate and protein expression by IHC reported previously may be due to the limitations and nonquantitative nature of conventional IHC. EGFR protein content correlates with gene copy number if protein content is quantitated and automatically analyzed, as with AQUA. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

We used Chinese hamster ovary cells, a cell line of fibroblastic origin, to investigate whether lysosomes are an exocytic compartment. To label lysosomal contents, Chinese hamster ovary cells were incubated with the solute marker horseradish peroxidase. After an 18-h uptake period, horseradish peroxidase was found in lysosomes by cell fractionation in Percoll gradients and by electron microscope cytochemistry. Over a 24-h period, lysosomal horseradish peroxidase was quantitatively retained by Chinese hamster ovary cells and inactivated with a t 1/2 of 6 to 8 h. Lysosomes were radioiodinated in situ by soluble lactoperoxidase internalized over an 18-h uptake period. About 70% of the radioiodine incorporation was pelleted at 100,000 X g under conditions in which greater than 80% of the lysosomal marker enzyme beta-hexosaminidase was released into the supernatant. By one-dimensional electrophoresis, about 18 protein species were present in the lysosomal membrane fraction, with radioiodine incorporation being most pronounced into species of 70,000 to 75,000 daltons. After a 30-min or 2-h chase at 37 degrees C, radioiodine that was incorporated into lysosomal membranes and contents was retained in lysosomes. These observations indicate that lysosomes labeled by fluid-phase pinocytosis are a terminal component of endocytic pathways in fibroblasts.
