Abstract

The AC3-33 gene encodes a secretory protein that can inhibit Elk1 transcriptional activity via the ERK1/2 pathway. In the current study, in situ RNA hybridization was used to detect the AC3‑33 gene expression in multiple organ cancer and cancer‑adjacent normal tissue. The results showed that the expression level of AC3‑33 varies across different tissues. AC3‑33 exhibited positive expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, adenocarcinoma of the rectum, hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung, cancer‑adjacent normal hepatic tissue, clear cell carcinoma of the kidney, invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, SCC of the uterine cervix and cancer‑adjacent normal kidney tissue. Negative expression of AC3‑33 was observed in adenocarcinoma of the stomach and colon, cancer‑adjacent normal esophageal tissue, cancer‑adjacent normal gastric tissue, cancer‑adjacent normal colon tissue, cancer‑adjacent normal rectal tissue, serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary and cancer‑adjacent normal ovarian tissue. However, the expression of AC3‑33 in cancer adjacent normal breast tissue was partially positive. In conclusion, the AC3‑33 gene does exhibit positive expression in certain carcinomas, which may indicate that AC3-33 has a significant involvement in the development and progression of these carcinomas.
