Background & Objective: The common epithelial ovarian tumors are classified into serous, mucinous, clear cell, endometrioid, the Brenner, mixed, and undifferentiated types. Cytoskeleton intermediate filament composition of ovarian tissues indicates that the cytokeratin and vimentin are observed in ovarian surface epithelium along with the common ovaria...

The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and density IgG, vimentin, CD45 in mouse placenta on fourth, tenth, seventeenth days pregnancy. Strept avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (streptABC) staining method used. On fourth day pregnancy, expression more intense around uterine glands. tenth day, vimentin positive cells were demonstrated decidua basalis mesometrial parietal trophob...

Epithelial inclusions were detected in myocardium of a 2-month-old male Holstein calf. Microscopically,nonpurulent myocarditis along with focal tubular and acinar structures covered with cuboidal epithelial cellswas seen in the myocardium. Most tubular and acinar structures stained with Masson’s trichrome were foundto be surrounded with a dense collagen. Tubular and acinar structures had PAS po...

We studied the expression of transfected chicken and hamster vimentin genes in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. MEL cells normally repress the levels of endogenous mouse vimentin mRNA during inducermediated differentiation, resulting in a subsequent loss of vimentin filaments. Expression of vimentin in differentiating MEL cells reflects the disappearance of vimentin filaments during mammalia...

The intermediate filament protein vimentin has been shown to be required for smooth muscle contraction. The adapter protein p130 Crk-associated substrate (CAS) participates in the signaling processes that regulate force development in smooth muscle. However, the interaction of vimentin filaments with CAS has not been well elucidated. In the present study, ACh stimulation of tracheal smooth musc...

Background: The distinction of endometrial adenocarcinoma (EMA) from endocervical (ECA) has great significance preoperatively, since the therapeutic plan depends on primary site tumor. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an ancillary method in distinguishing EMA and ECA, especially cases histomorphological overlap. Aims Objectives: Primary objective this study was to describe expression IHC markers–e...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a large majority of cancers arising from the head and neck, especially the oral cavity. Despite advances in therapy, the five-year survival rate remains low due to the number of patients presenting advanced stages of the disease. The role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumorigenesis in HNSCC remains unexplored. The current ...
