Strong nuclear staining was observed in squamous cell carcinomas, while lymphomas, melanomas, testis- and prostate cancers displayed mostly negative or weakly stained cases. Hepatocellular carcinomas were generally negative in contrast to most cholangio carcinomas where positivity was registered.
Squamous cell carcinomas of skin and urothelial cancers displayed moderate to strong nuclear staining. Several cases of cervical, lung, head and neck cancers were moderately positive. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Strong nuclear staining was observed in most cancers. Prostate, lung, skin, testis, carcinoids, gliomas and lymphomas were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FOSL2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ23306, FRA2
Description
FOS-like antigen 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The Fos gene family consists of 4 members: FOS, FOSB, FOSL1, and FOSL2. These genes encode leucine zipper proteins that can dimerize with proteins of the JUN family, thereby forming the transcription factor complex AP-1. As such, the FOS proteins have been implicated as regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and transformation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
