Biomarker: p16

Histology type: endometrial serous carcinomas

Country: Spain

Region: Lleida

Followed up time :

Subgroup 1 name : EEC

Subgroup 1 number: 57

Subgroup 2 name: SC

Subgroup 2 number: 31

Conclusion: We propose an internally and externally validated 9-protein biomarker signature to predict the histologic type of EC (EEC or SC) by IHC. The results also suggest that mixed EEC-SC is molecularly ambiguous.

Sample type : tissue

Sample method: immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Expression pattern : p16 ≥ 170

Expression elevation: IHC staining was graded semiquantitatively by considering the percentage and intensity of the staining. A histologic score (Hs) was obtained from each sample, and values ranged from 0 (no immunoreaction) to 300 (maximum immunoreactivity). The score was obtained by applying the following formula, Hs = 1 × (% light staining) + 2 × (% moderate staining) + 3 × (% strong staining). Scoring was independently performed by 2 of the authors (M. S. and O. M.). Interobserver agreement between these 2 authors was assessed by Cohen κ concordance measure, considering all the intervals in Hs range (0-300) at each 10 units, and with Pearson linear correlation.

Funtion Uniprot: Acts as a negative regulator of the proliferation of normal cells by interacting strongly with CDK4 and CDK6. This inhibits their ability to interact with cyclins D and to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein.
