    Applications
    Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a protein that plays a significant role in regulating the generation and dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). CTCs are cancer cells that detach from the primary tumor and spread to other parts of the body, leading to metastasis. Analyzing CTCs can provide valuable information about the genetic and molecular diversity of tumors, which is crucial for personalized therapy. EpCAM, along with other proteins such as vimentin, CD44, and TGM2, are potential targets for therapies aimed at preventing metastasis and serving as detection markers. Various devices, methods, and protocols have been developed for detecting CTCs, and targeting and eliminating them hold promise in preventing metastasis and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, EpCAM has been identified as a biomarker for detecting hepatocarcinogens in rats, along with the phosphorylated form of histone H2AX (γ-H2AX). The combination of EpCAM, APN (aminopeptidase N), and γ-H2AX can be used as biomarkers for detecting chemical hepatocarcinogenicity. Overall, understanding the role of EpCAM and its interactions with other proteins can provide insights into the development of targeted therapies and improve patient outcomes in cancer treatment.

    Published Data

    Fig.1 The growth of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells is promoted by EpCAM.

    EpCAM expression plasmid (0.4ng, 1.0ng, 1.6ng, respectively) was transfected into cells. Confirmation of EpCAM expression was achieved through Western blot analysis. Controls were established using cells transfected with an empty vector. A significant difference (P < 0.01) was observed. Inhibition of foci formation in monolayer culture by EpCAM was demonstrated, and quantitative analyses of foci numbers were conducted. The mean of at least three independent experiments was calculated for columns, with standard deviation represented by bars. A highly significant difference (P < 0.001) was observed.

    Research Highlights

    L Eikenboom, Ellis. et al. "Metachronous colorectal cancer risk according to Lynch syndrome pathogenic variant after extensive versus partial colectomy in the Netherlands: a retrospective cohort study." The lancet. Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2023.
    The study evaluated the risk of metachronous colorectal cancer in individuals with Lynch syndrome who underwent either partial or extensive colectomy. This procedure is commonly recommended for patients with colorectal cancer and Lynch syndrome, but the risk of metachronous cancer may vary depending on the specific variant of Lynch syndrome. The findings suggest that partial colectomy may be sufficient for those with low-risk variants, providing better functional outcomes compared to extensive colectomy.

    Akagi, Jun-Ichi. et al. "EpCAM and APN expression in combination with γ-H2AX as biomarkers for detecting hepatocarcinogens in rats."" Cancer science, 2023.
    Histone H2AX, in its phosphorylated form known as γ-H2AX, has been widely used as a biomarker to assess DNA damage. Drawing from prior research showing γ-H2AX foci as a reliable indicator for identifying bladder carcinogens in a 28-day rat study, it was hypothesized that γ-H2AX could also serve as a marker for detecting hepatocarcinogens. However, this hypothesis was not supported, as hepatocarcinogens lacking hepatocyte proliferation stimulation failed to induce γ-H2AX foci formation. Consequently, alternative biomarkers were explored, revealing increased expression of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM/CD326) and aminopeptidase N (APN/CD13) in hepatocytes exposed to various hepatocarcinogens. These findings suggest the potential utility of EpCAM and APN, in conjunction with γ-H2AX, for detecting chemical hepatocarcinogenicity.
