RESUMEN

Mucin 6 (MUC6) is a secreted gel-forming mucin covering the surfaces of gastrointestinal and other tissues. Published work demonstrates that MUC6 can also be expressed in several cancer types and can aid in the distinction of different tumor entities. To systematically analyze MUC6 expression in normal and cancerous tissues, a tissue microarray containing 15 412 samples from 119 different tumor types and subtypes as well as 608 samples of 76 different normal tissue types was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. At least a weak MUC6 positivity was seen in 50 of 119 (42%) tumor entities. Thirty-three tumor entities included tumors with strong positivity. MUC6 immunostaining was most frequent in mucinous carcinomas of the breast (44%), adenocarcinomas of the stomach (30%-40%) and esophagus (35%), and neuroendocrine carcinomas of the colon. Strong MUC6 staining was linked to advanced pT stage (p = 0.0464), defective mismatch repair status and right-sided tumor location (p < 0.0001 each) in colorectal cancer, as well as to high tumor grade (p = 0.0291), nodal metastasis (p = 0.0485), erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 positivity (p < 0.0001) and negative estrogen receptor (p = 0.0332)/progesterone receptor (p = 0.0257) status in breast carcinomas of no special type. The broad range of tumor types with MUC6 expression limits the utility of MUC6 immunohistochemistry for the distinction of different tumor types.
