Figure 1 Malignant pleural mesothelioma with high epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) and MNNG HOS Transforming gene (MET) polysomy and disomic control mesothelioma. (A–E) A representative epithelioid mesothelioma showing high EGFR gene polysomy with associated high expression of EGFR protein (A and B, respectively) and high MET gene polysomy with associated moderate expression of epithelial transition factor protein (MET) (C and D, respectively). (F–J) A representative epithelioid mesothelioma showing disomic EGFR and MET (F and H, respectively) and negative expression of EGFR and MET protein (G and I, respectively). EGFR was investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using Vysis LSI EGFR Spectrum Orange/CEP7 Spectrum Green. MET was investigated by FISH using MET/CEP7 probe cocktail (Vysis MET Spectrum Red FISH Probe Kit reagent/Vysis CEP7 [D7Z1] and Spectrum Green Probe) (all reagents from Abbott Molecular, Des Plaines, IL). A cell with an abnormal copy number of EGFR or MET contains multiple orange or red signals and green signals (CEP7). A cell with a normal copy number of EGFR or MET contains only two orange or red signals and two green signals. White arrows indicate spots of EGFR red signal points and MET orange signal points. Immunohistochemical staining of EGFR was performed with an EGFR pharmDx Kit (DAKO, Milan, Italy), and immunohistochemical staining of MET was performed with Anti-c-Met Antibody IHC-plus LS-B2812 (LSBio, Seattle, WA). Black arrows indicate membrane- and cytoplasmic-positive staining. A, C, F, and H: FISH (magnification, ×100). B, D, G, and I: immunohistochemical staining (magnification, ×40). E and J: hematoxylin and eosin staining (magnification, ×10).
