14 Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry Mutant protein (e.g.,idh1) Loss of expresssion (e.g, MMR) Abnormal localization (e.g., ß-catenin) Overexpression (e.g., p53)
15 IDH1 and Cancer Warburg hypothesis that altered cellular respiration is origin of cancer IDH1 is enzyme integral to cell respiration Mutation causes decrease in alphaketoglutarate (KG) and increase in 2- hydroxyglutarate (2- HG) Oncometabolite driven epigenetic aberrations
16 Brain Pathol 20:245-54, 2010 Generated to 13 amino acid peptide coupled to KLH (containing R132H; arginine to histidine substitution) R132H mutation constitutes >90% of IDH1 mutations seen in gliomas
17 Mutant Specific IDH1 Antibody Capper D et al, Brain Pathol 20:245-54, 2010
18 IDH1 with R132H mutation Clone H09 (mouse IgG) Generated to synthetic peptide Does not cross react with wild type IDH1
19 Acta Neuropathol 120:707-18, 2010 IDH status is more prognostic for overall survival than standard histologic criteria By sequencing as well as IHC, with IHC identifying cases initially missed by sequencing IHC missed two cases positive by sequencing

23 Other Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry EGFR mutations in lung cancer V600E BRAF in melanoma and other tumors
24 J Thorac Oncol 5: , 2010 Activating mutations in exons 18 through 21 predict clinical response to gefitinib Present in 10-15% of NSCLC in US and Europe All NSCLCs now tested for EGFR mutations
25 EGFR Mutations in NSCLC Exon 19 deletions account for ~50% of total mutations 11 different mutations resulting in deletions of 3 to 7 amino acids; all result in deletions of codons for amino acids Second major mutation group are missense mutations in exon 21, with L858R accounting for 39% of exon 21 mutations
26 EGFR Mutations in NSCLC
27 Kato Y et al., J Thorac Oncol 5: , 2010 Antibody EGFR E746- A750del Antibody EGFR L858R
28 Kato Y et al., J Thorac Oncol 5: , Sensitivity 81.8% 75% N = 70 67,5 E746-A750 L858R
29 Kato Y et al., J Thorac Oncol 5: , Specificity 100% 96.6% 100 N = E746-A750 L858R
30 J Thorac Oncol 5: , 2010 Owing to very high specificity, may be used as screening device to identify positives, but all negatives would need to be tested by molecular methods
31 Other EGFR IHC Studies Study N Target Sensitivity Specificity Yu et al. Clin Cancer Res 15:3023-8, exon 19 del L858R Brevet et al J Mol Diagn 12:169-76, exon 19 del L858R 85% 95% - FAn X et al., Hum Pathol 44: , exon 19 del L858R 87.7% (combined 98.3% (combined) Bondgaard AL et al, Modern Pathol 27: , exon 19 del L858R 63.2% 80.0% 98.8% 97.8%
32 Other EGFR IHC Studies Potential Problems Low sensitivity Does not identify all mutations clinically actionable Sensitivity and specificity will depend upon cutoff for positivity (1+? 2+)
33 Other Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry EGFR mutations in lung cancer V600E BRAF in melanoma and other tumors
34 Examples of Mutations Leading to Loss of Protein Expression INI-1/SMARCB1 Mismatch Repair (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) Rhabdoid tumors (and others) Coloretal adenocarcinoma E-cadherin Lobular breast cancer Succinic dehydrogenase PTEN Subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors Endometrial, breast cancer
35 Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry Mutant protein (e.g.,idh1) Loss of expresssion (e.g, MMR, SDH) Abnormal localization (e.g., ß-catenin) Overexpression (e.g., p53)
36 Reasons for MMR IHC Identifying Lynch Syndrome patients Identifying patients with sporadic MSI tumors (who may not require FU-based chemotherapy) Identifying carcinomas of unknown primary that are minimally differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma
37 HNPCC (Lynch Syndrome) Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer Autosomal dominant Mutation in MLH1 (~60%), MSH2 (~30%), or MSH6 (~10%) Accounts for 2-5% of colorectal adenocarcinoma Tumors develop at early age, usually found on right side Also develop endometrial adenocarcinoma Synchronous and metachronous colorectal cancers: 40% develop within 10 years without total colonic resection

46 Are MSI-H tumors distinct? MSI-H tumors more likely arise on the right side MSI-H tumors more likely to occur in people with positive family history of colorectal cancer MSI-H tumors more likely to be cribriform, solid, signet ring, high grade ( medullary ), mucinous Lymphocytic infiltration most important feature for predicting MSI-H (nodular Crohn-like peritumoral or TIL)
47 Histologic Patterns of MSI Adenocarcinomas Mucinous Signet Ring Medullary Medullary TIL Pushing Border from Bellizzi AM and Frankel WL, Adv Anat Pathol 16:405-17, 2009
48 IHC vs. MSI Testing IHC MSI Cost $$ $$$ Analyte Protein DNA How much tumor required Very little Very little Requirements Tumor only Tumor + normal Possibility of contamination by normal No Yes Turnaround Next day 2-7 days Identifies involved gene Yes No Assay sensitive to fixation Yes No adapted from Bellizzi AM and Frankel WL, Adv Anat Pathol 16:405-17, 2009
49 IHC v. MSI Testing Concordance very high in most studies High concordance possible even with just two antibodies (e.g., MLH1, MSH2) but even higher with four (MLH1, MSH2, PMS2, MSH6) Potential shortcoming if IHC is inability to detect missense mutations that nevertheless result in immunoreactive but nonfunctional protein
50 MMR IHC and Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Immunohistochemical localization integrates what happens at the genomic level to MMR genes Identifies genotypically distinct variants of colorectal adenocarcinoma with important clinical implications

55 Reasons for MMR IHC Identifying Lynch Syndrome patients Identifying patients with sporadic MSI tumors (who may not require FU-based chemotherapy) Identifying carcinomas of unknown primary that are minimally differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma
56 MMR IHC Interpretation Caveats There must be complete loss of MMR expression in the tumor cell population There can be variegated and incomplete immunostaining owing to fixation issues as well as intrinsic variation (e.g., MSH6) Don t overcall dmmr if there is no staining within the non-neoplastic elements
57 Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) Originally thought to be smooth muscle tumors ( leiomyoblastoma ) or autonomic nerve tumor ( GANT ) Related to interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) Both GISTs and ICCs express KIT, CD34, and DOG1
58 KIT and PDGFRA Mutations in GISTs from Marrari A et al, Arch Pathol Lab Med 136:483-9, 2012
59 c-kit IHC is a Cell Type Specific Marker! Is marker both of normal interstitial cells of Cajal as well counterpart tumor, gastrointestinal stromal tumor Presence of c-kit expression in GIST is not evidence of presence of activating mutation and hence eligibility for imatinib
60 SDH Mutations and GISTs PNAS 108:314-8, 2011 Carney-Stratakis syndrome caused by germ line mutations in SDH subunits B, C, or D Predisposes to GISTs and paragangliomas Investigated sporadic GISTs in patients lacking kit or PDGFRA mutations (N =34)
61 SDH-Deficient GISTs Feature SDH Deficient SDH Proficient Age Children and young adults Sex distribution F > M F = M Older adults Location Stomach Entire GI tract Multinodular Almost always Rare Multifocality Common Rare Histology Epithelioid or mixed Spindle common Lymph node mets Common Rare Course of mets Indolent Aggressive Imatinib sensitivity No Most cases c-kit positive IHC Yes Yes c-kit mutations None ~95% SDH mutations ~50% None adapted from Doyle LA and Hornick JL, Histopathol 64:53-67, 2014
62 SDH-Deficient GISTs 2.6% of GISTs negative for both DOG1 and kit, and 50% of these are PDGRA-mutant types IHC for SDHB or SDHA is helpful in evaluation of SDH deficient GISTs ~30% of SDH deficient GISTs have mutations in SDHA; only SDHA mutant tumors show loss of SDHA adapted from Doyle LA and Hornick JL, Histopathol 64:53-67, 2014

73 Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry Mutant protein (e.g.,idh1) Loss of expression (e.g, MMR, SDH) Abnormal localization (e.g., ß-catenin) Overexpression (e.g., p53)
74 ß-Catenin: Role in Cell Adhesion and Signaling Axin and APC are negative regulators of Wnt signalling cascade. Axin and APC phosphorylate ß- catenin on APC binding sites, thereby degrading and inactivating the protein. Regulation of ß-catenin critical to APC s tumor suppressor effect
75 ß-Catenin
76 Nuclear beta catenin The presence of beta catenin in the nucleus indicates a disruption of the WNT pathway In nucleus, beta catenin interacts with transcription factors of TCF/LEF family and thus takes part in alteration of gene expression ß-catenin in nucleus continuously drives transcription of target genes Lead to increased cell proliferation and/or inhibition of apoptosis
77 Mesenteric Fibromatosis Aggressive fibromatosis, desmoid tumor All ages Associated with Gardner syndrome Abdominal and extra-abdominal (shoulder, chest wall, back) Deep-seated, poorly circumscribed Most present with asymptomatic abdominal mass
78 ß-Catenin and Fibromatoses Montgomery et al, AJSP, 2002 Fibromatoses have mutation in APC/ ß-catenin pathway Abnormal nuclear accumulation of ß-catenin protein Studied expression by IHC in mesenteric fibromatosis, GIST, and sclerosing mesenteritis
79 Mesenteric Fibromatosis ß-Catenin
80 ` GIST ß-Catenin
81 ß-Catenin Immunohistochemistry can be employed to see the nuclear ß-catenin protein abnormally located in the nucleus Nuclear ß-catenin is a surrogate marker for the presence of APC or ß-catenin mutations
82 Is Nuclear ß-catenin Expression Found in Other Tumors? Modern Pathology 18:68-74, 2005
83 Ng TL et al., Modern Pathology 18:68-74, 2005 Tumors POSITIVE for high level nuclear ß-catenin expression Desmoid type fibromatosis (71%) Solitary fibrous tumor (40%) Endometrial stromal sarcoma (40%) Synovial sarcoma (28%)
84 Abnormal localization of ß-catenin to nucleus May be mutation of ß-catenin or adenosis polyposis coli (APC) genes APC mutations more common in setting of familial adenomatous polyposis ß-catenin mutations more common in sporadic aggressive fibromatosis Demonstrates that mutation of one gene may result in abnormal localization of another gene product
85 Examples of Gene Mutations Identifiable by Immunohistochemistry Mutant protein (e.g.,idh1) Loss of expresssion (e.g, MMR) Abnormal localization (e.g., ß-catenin) Overexpression (e.g., p53)
86 p53 Most (but not all) inactivating mutations result in conformational change of p53 molecule that results in prolonged half-life Half-life 20 minutes for wild type, hours for mutant proteins Wild type protein detectable by immunohistochemistry but at low levels that seem to correlate with cell proliferation Large deletions or truncating mutations may result in apparent loss of p53 expression
87 J Pathol 222:191-8, 2010 DO-7 anti-p53 monoclonal antibody (cross reacts with wild type and mutant) Scored in three bins: complete absence of expression, focal expression, overexpression (>50%) Outcome in two different cohorts
88 p53 and Ovarian Cancer Kobel M et al., J Pathol 222:191-8, 2010
89 p53 and Ovarian Cancer Kobel M et al., J Pathol 222:191-8, 2010 Pelvic high grade serous ovarian cancers show either complete loss or overexpression in 88% of cases p53 overexpression associated with reduced risk of recurrence Complete absence of expression associated with unfavorable outcome Suggests functional differences underlying overexpression v. absence of expression

92 p53 and Barrett s Kaye PV, et al. Histopathol 54: , 2009 N = 154 biopsy specimens with Barrett s, 32 specimens without dysplasia p53 immunohistochemistry assists in diagnosis in difficult cases and predicts progression
93 Suggested Algorithm Kaye PV, et al. Histopathol 54: , 2009
94 Gut 62: , 2013 Low grade dysplasia currently only accepted predictor for neoplastic progression in Barrett s esophagus Can alterations in p53 improve risk stratification?
95 Barrett s esophagus with low grade dysplasia Barrett s esophagus with low grade dysplasia Esophageal adenoca with complete loss of p53
96 Kastelein F et al., 2013 N = 635 patients Retrospective study of p53 protein expression as determined by IHC 8% of patients developed high grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma More powerful predictor than histologic diagnosis of LGD Strongly associated with overexpression and especially loss of p53 expression
97 Incidence of p53 Overexpression and Absence of Expression Kastelein F et al., 2013
98 Gut 63:7-42, 2014 Marker with greatest body of evidence which can also be applied routinely is p % positive in Barrett s dysplasia Can improve inter observer variability for reporting dysplasia (especially LGD v. atypical reactive [ID]) Powerful predictor of progression (OR 3-8)

136 What does the Future of Pathology Look Like? The paradigm shift to molecular based classification of tumors will continue and will accelerate Molecular oncodiagnostics will play an increasingly large role in tumor analysis

138 Next Generation Immunohistochemistry 1 NG-IHC can be used to identify molecular alterations that characterize selected malignancies NG-IHC acts as a surrogate for molecular studies, and is less expensive and time consuming and, in some cases, can provide more information
139 Next Generation Immunohistochemistry 2 NG-IHC can integrate different genotypic changes which result in the same phenotypic changes NG-IHC can thus expand and better define categories of disease
140 The Changing Role of the Pathologist As more drugs that target specific components of signal-transduction pathways become available and as we increase our knowledge of the complexity of these signalling networks, the burden of selecting the correct drug combinations for each individual cancer patient will ultimately shift to the pathologist, who must identify the underlying defect in each tumor.
