The majority of urothelial cancer and several cases of gastric, pancreatic and prostate cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancers were mainly negative. Distinct staining of stroma was observed in several cases.
Majority of cancers showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. A single case of urothelial cancer showed strong membranous positivity. Rare case of melanoma showed strong cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity. Liver, stomach and testis cancers were generally negative.
Several pancreatic cancers and occasional cases of other cancers showed strong cytoplasmic staining. Remaining cancer tissues were in general negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity was displayed in a few cases of melanomas, prostate, breast, lung, skin and liver cancers. Additional membranous staining was displayed in colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Remaining tissues were mostly negative.
GENE INFORMATION

Description
Decorin (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the small leucine-rich proteoglycan family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein plays a role in collagen fibril assembly. Binding of this protein to multiple cell surface receptors mediates its role in tumor suppression, including a stimulatory effect on autophagy and inflammation and an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. This gene and the related gene biglycan are thought to be the result of a gene duplication. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital stromal corneal dystrophy in human patients.
