    Notes: Aims:  Evaluation of HER2 gene amplification in breast cancers is a compelling, routine procedure. The aim of this work was to evaluate which breast carcinomas would really benefit from HER-2/neu gene analysis.Methods and results:  We studied 130 invasive breast carcinomas by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using CB11 and TAB250 MAbs directed against different domains of the c-erbB2 molecule. From this series, we selected 106 cases (32 G1, 36 G2, and 38 G3) in which HER-2/neu gene analysis, using chromogenic in-situ hybridization (CISH), was successful. IHC results were scored using the FDA approved system with three score values: 0/1+ (negative), 2+, 3+ (positive). In addition, we developed a double scoring system with six score values (0/1+ 2+ negative, 3+, 4+, 5+, 6+ positive) obtained by summating the individual scoring values obtained with each MAb. All double scoring negative cases were non-amplified (100% sensitivity), whereas all cases scored 6+ were amplified. Double scoring values and CISH results were then correlated with grade and histological type. G1 ductal carcinomas and carcinomas of lobular and of special histological type did not show HER-2/neu amplification even in the presence of protein over-expression.Conclusions:  The combined results of IHC analysis (double scoring values) obtained using MAbs directed against different c-erbB2 domains correctly indicates the HER-2/neu gene status in 57.5% of cases. In addition, simple morphological features such as low grade and special histological type are good predictors of the non-amplification of the HER-2/neu gene in breast carcinoma.

    Notes: Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are among the main pathogens of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) worldwide. Plant resistance is currently the method of choice for controlling these pests and all the commercially available resistant cultivars carry the dominant Mi gene, which confers resistance to the three main species Meloidogyne arenaria, M. incognita and M. javanica. However the emergence of virulent biotypes able to overcome the tomato resistance gene may constitute a severe limitation to such a control strategy. To date, little was known of the possible influence of the homozygous vs heterozygous allelic state of the Mi locus, or the tomato genetic background, on the expression of the resistance. In order to test both these factors, the resistance was evaluated of a large panel of L. esculentum genotypes (selected from the Vilmorin germplasm stock collection) to seven M. incognita lines avirulent or virulent against the Mi gene. Plant resistance was estimated by counting the egg masses on the root systems after inoculation with second-stage juveniles (J2). Reproduction of the nematodes was similar or, more often, significantly higher on heterozygous tomato genotypes than on homozygous ones, suggesting a possible dosage effect of the Mi gene. Data also indicated that the tomato genetic background had a major effect on the variations observed in nematode reproduction, especially when tomato genotypes were heterozygous for the Mi gene. These results have important consequences in terms of breeding strategies and durability of the resistance conferred by the Mi gene.

    Notes: Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., cause severe damage on solanaceous crops, including tomato and pepper. The objective of this study was to test whether nematodes virulent against the tomato Mi resistance gene were able to overcome the Me1 and Me3 resistance genes from pepper. For that purpose, a collection of 22 Meloidogyne arenaria, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica isolates, avirulent or virulent against the Mi gene, was assembled. The reproduction of each isolate was evaluated on both susceptible and resistant tomato and pepper genotypes in a growth chamber. The Me1 resistance gene controlled all the avirulent and Mi-virulent nematodes tested, and therefore appears promising for pepper breeding. In contrast, one M. arenaria and two M. incognita virulent isolates were shown to overcome the pepper Me3 resistance gene. These results encourage the testing of a large number of Meloidogyne isolates to evaluate the plant-nematode interaction, which could have important consequences for the use and management of resistance genes in the field with respect to specificity and durability of the resistance.

    Notes: Abstract Resistance to the parthenogenetic root-knot nematodeMeloidogyne incognita is controlled in tomato by the single dominant geneMi, against which virulent pathotypes are able to develop. Isofemale lines (i.e., families) were established from a natural avirulent isolate ofM. incognita in order to study the genetic variability and inheritance of the nematode virulence. From the progeny of individual females, the production of egg masses on the root system of theMi-resistant tomato ‘Piersol’ was analyzed in artificial selection experiments. A family analysis revealed, after two successive generations, a strongly significant variation between the 63 isofemale lines tested, and the results obtained for the mothers and their daughters were also significantly correlated. These results together clearly demonstrate the existence of a genetic variability and inheritance for this character. In a second experiment, a four-generation selection was performed on 31 other isofemale lines. The results revealed a significant response to selection apparently limited only to the two families able to produce, in first generation, a significant minimal egg-mass number on the resistant cultivar.

    Notes: Abstract  Modern classifications of ductal in situ carcinoma (DCIS) of the breast suffer from unsatisfactory reproducibility in inter-observer circulation analyses. Ducts in DCIS are markedly enlarged in the range of 360 µm in diameter. Since the diffusion of oxygen from peri-ductal vessels is limited to 100 µm, cells in the center of DCIS are poorly oxygenated and become either necrotic or remain hypoxic but viable. There is evidence that such alternative fate is dictated by the biological characteristics of the neoplastic cells. Therefore, determination of presence or absence of necrosis in ducts up to 360 µm in diameter might represent a simple, reproducible, and biologically sound criterion to classify DCIS. In the present work, following this criterion, we classified 32 cases of intra-ductal lesions as either ”necrotic” or ”hypoxic” and tested the reproducibility of such classification using K statistics. These cases had already been circulated among a group of European pathologists, who classified the lesions using five different classifications. The K statistics value obtained with the presently proposed system was extremely high (0.91). It remains to be established whether the classification ”necrotic/hypoxic” withstands large inter-observer circulation analyses, whether it is predictive of the clinical evolution of DCIS, and whether it might constitute a reproducible basis for selecting appropriate treatments.

    Notes: Abstract  Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT), first described as a pleural lesion, has been reported in several extrathoracic sites over the past 10 years. We describe a SFT of the left adrenal gland incidentally discovered in a 23-year-old, 22-week pregnant woman and characterised by a rapid growth during the third trimester of pregnancy. Elevated serum and urinary levels of cortisol and elevated blood levels of delta 4 androstendione and 17-OH progesterone were observed. After spontaneous delivery, the patient underwent laparoscopic resectioning of the mass and of the left adrenal gland from which the tumour was apparently originating. The kidney was not involved, and no other abdominal tumours were found. Histological and immunohistochemical features were typical of SFT of pleura and other locations. Only one case of adrenal SFT is on record, and the adrenal gland is to be added to the long list of extrathoracic locations of SFT. The association with pregnancy was a previously unrecognised event in SFT. The focal expression of progesterone receptors in the tumour cells may be related to pregnancy. This observation prompted an analysis of steroid hormone receptors in SFT of classical sites (pleura). Two of five cases had focal progesterone receptors too, a finding which deserves further investigations in a much larger series of SFTs.

    Notes: Abstract Experiments were designed to analyze the relationships between the root-knot nematodeMeloidogyne incognita and resistant tomato and pepper genotypes. From a natural avirulent isolate, near-isogenic nematode lineages were selected with virulence either against the tomatoMi resistance gene or the pepperMe3 resistance gene. Despite the drastic selection pressure used, nematodes appeared unable to overcome the pepperMe1 gene, therefore suggesting some differences in the resistance conferred byMe1 andMe3 in this species. Nematodes virulent onMi-resistant tomatoes were not able to reproduce onMe1-resistant nor onMe3-resistant peppers, and nematodes virulent onMe3-resistant peppers were not able to reproduce onMi-resistant tomatoes nor onMe1-resistant peppers. These results clearly demonstrate the specificity ofM. incognita virulence against resistance genes from both tomato and pepper, and indirectly suggest that gene-for-gene relationships could occur between these two solanaceous crops and the nematode.
