N2 - We have and studies s of steroidogenic enzymes involved in estrogen biosynthesis in 30 cases of gastric carcinoma in order to investigate possible in situ production of estradiol (E 2) in carcinoma cells. Positive performed immunobistochemical immunochemical incidenc~ of immunoreactivity for E 2, testosterone (T), cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (P-4S0acc) and o,nrmatase (P4SOa,on) were 27BO (S6.7%), yY/3O (36.7%), 3130 (20.0%) and 23130 (78.7%), respectively on light microscopy. Estrogen receptor (ER) immunoreactivity was not observed in any of the 30 cases examined. Normal gastric nomcosu was negative /o, P'4S0u,unx and P-4S0suc. Examination of serial sections revealed that imnxmmomactinityofE 2amd P'4SOo,om were located in the same cells of cu,cinonxotous glands. Imnxunoelectrun microscopy demonstrated that E 2 and }4SOurom were located along the membrane and ciste,nao of smooth endoplasmic reticulum(sER).Western blot analysis showed major band mfSS kDa of P-4SOa,arom in the gastric carcinoma tissues examined. Retrospective analysis of immunohistochemistry of E 2 in 208 cases of gastric carcinoma revealed that E 2 positive carcinoma cases were likely to demonstrate better survival rate than negative cases. These results above strongly suggest that E 2 is produced 6yoe xonmexpressed a,ovxatasu/mgastric carcinoma cells and is possibly involved /n the biology of gastric carcinoma cells.
