Monoclonal Antibody for Scirrhous Stomach Cancer Anti-MUC1 Antibody (014E)

Date：November 22 2016Web Page No：80739

Funakoshi Co.,Ltd.

This antibody can detect the tumor marker MUC1 (Mucin-1; also PEM, PEMT and Episialin) in various tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry. In particular, it can specifically detect scirrhous gastric cancer, which has been considered difficult to detect.
※ This antibody has been commercialized under a license from Kagoshima University.

MUC1 & MUC1 Antibody(014E)

MUC1 (Mucin1), a mucin-type glycoprotein, is expressed in various cancers and is thought to be involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

MUC1 is expressed from a single gene as a heterodimer of the extracellular region (MUC1-N) and the extracellular to transmembrane to cytoplasmic region (MUC1-C). MUC1-N contains a tandem repeat sequence (O-glycosylated site), and glycosylation is performed on this region. In some cases, MUC1-N is cleaved. On the other hand, MUC1-C has many splicing variants.

Most conventional MUC1 antibodies used MUC1-N or cleavage sites as immunogen, therefore sometimes it could not detect MUC1-N depending on its cleavage or glycosylation status. The clone 014E is raised against common region among splicing variants in the cytoplasmic tail domain (CTD) of MUC1-C. Therefore, it is possible to detect various splicing variants, regardless of MUC-1's structure of extracellular region.

Mucin-1 gene expression

Detection of gastric cancer including scirrhous

IHC with antibodies (e.g. MUC1 antibody, keratin antibody), HE stain and PAS stain with diastase are used to detect stomach cancer.

However, these detection methods may miss cancer cells due to no staining of scirrhous gastric carcinoma (signet ring cell carcinoma: sig, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma non-solid type: por2), unclear images and non-specific staining. The clone 014E antibody can specifically detect even scirrhous gastric cancer, which has been considered difficult to detect 1, 5.

Detection of pancreatic cancer

In pancreatic cancer detection, some clones of MUC1 antibody could only detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and could not detect intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (IPMN-gastric type and IPMN-intestinal type). This is because cleavage or glycosylation status of MUC1-N varies in these tumors, and antibodies with the extracellular region as antigen could not detect them.

Since clone 014E antibody is raised against cytoplasmic region, it can detect MUC1-N regardless of MUC1' structure of the extracellular region 4, 5. Also, a correlation between the MUC1 detection results by clone 014E and methylation of promoter region of MUC1 gene has been reported 4, 5.
