 | | The immunohistochemical expression of the c-kit proto-oncogene product in 40 primary breast cancer tissues (22 axillary lymph nodes negative, 18 lymph nodes positive), in 18 corresponding axillary lymph nodes, and in 10 distant metastastic tissues were studied using an anti-c-kit proto-oncogene product antibody in comparison with 20 normal and 20 benign breast tissues. |
 | | To clarify whether the stem cell factor/c-kit signaling has a paracrine role in ultraviolet-B-induced pigmentation, we determined whether the exposure of human keratinocytes, melanocytes, and the epidermis to ultraviolet B light stimulates the expression of stem cell factor or c-kit at the gene and/or protein levels. |
 | | In primary breast cancer tissues, the expression of the c-kit proto-oncogene product was often deleted and the average IRS (0.90 +/- 1.73) was significantly reduced compared to those of the normal breast tissues or benign breast disease tissues, but no significant difference was shown between the breast cancer groups. |
