heal.abstractIncreasing evidence indicates that Notch signaling contributes to physiological processes, including development and differentiation, as well as tumorigenesis, either as a tumor promoter or suppressor, depending on cellular context, expression levels and cross talk with other signaling systems. Recent studies reported absent or minimal Notch-1 expression in neuroendocrine tumors of the lung and gastrointestinal tract, suggesting a tumor-suppressor function of Notch-1. Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive primary cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma. Because no information is available on Notch-1 expression in this tumor, we have investigated a series of 31 Merkel cell carcinoma for Notch-1 immunoreactivity. Immunoreactivities for E-cadherin and beta-catenin were also analyzed. All but 1 Merkel cell carcinoma (30 of 31) retained cytoplasmic and membrane Notch-1 expression in more than 50% of cells. beta-Catenin displayed a prevalent membrane-associated staining in 30 of 31 cases, and 22 cases showed more than 50% of immunoreactive cells whereas nuclear beta-catenin was seen only in 2 of 31 cases. E-cadherin membranous expression was remarkably low, as only 1 of 26 cases was found positive in more than 50% of cells. In contrast with neuroendocrine tumors in other tissues, evident Notch-1 expression was found in Merkel cell carcinoma. This finding does not support a tumor-suppressor function of Notch-1 in Merkel cell carcinoma. Downregulation of E-cadherin and diffuse membranous beta-catenin expression suggest a dysregulation of the E-cadherin/beta-catenin complex in Merkel cell carcinoma. This may contribute to local invasion and distant metastasis.en
