Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Analysis of Siglec-engaging sialoglycans using HYDRA immunohistochemistry in a TMA comprising 51 prostate tissue samples shows ligands for Siglec-3 (unpaired t test, p=0.0216), Siglec-7 (unpaired t test, p=0.0143) and Siglec-9 (unpaired t test, p=0.0271) are upregulated in prostate tumour tissue relative to normal prostate tissue. ( B ) Staining a previously published 96 case TMA [ , ] containing 17 normal prostate tissue samples and 79 samples of prostate tumour tissue showed that sialoglycan ligands for Siglec-3 (unpaired t test, p<0.001), Siglec-7 (unpaired t test, p<0.0001) and Siglec-9 (unpaired t test, p0.0171) are found at significantly higher levels in prostate tumours compared to normal prostate tissues. ( C ) HYDRA immunohistochemistry analysis of Siglec-3, -7 and -9 ligands in a previously published 200 case TMA [ , ] containing matched tumour and normal tissues from the same patient. Sialoglycan ligands recognised by Siglec-3 (paired t test, p<0.0001), Siglec-7 (paired t test, p=0.0003) and Siglec-9 (p<0.0001) are significantly increased in prostate cancer tissue relative to matched normal tissue from the same patient. Scale bar is 200□µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) HYDRA immunohistochemistry analysis of ligands for Siglec-3, Siglec-7, and Siglec-9 in untreated primary prostate tissue compared to metastatic castrate resistant cancer (CRPC) growing in bone suggests all three sialoglycan ligands are increased in treatment resistant metastatic tumours relative to untreated primary prostate cancer tissues (n=205, unpaired t tests, HYDRA-3 p <0.0001, HYDRA-7 p<0.0001, HYDRA-9 p<0.0001). Scale bar is 200□µm. ( B ) Analysis of Siglec-7 ligands in a TMA generated by the Movember Global Action Plan 1 Unique tissue microarray (GAP1-UTMA) project . HYDRA-7 immunohistochemistry shows Siglec-7 ligands are expressed at similar levels in untreated / hormone naïve primary prostate tumours compared to therapy resistant (CRPC) tissues (n=161, unpaired t test, p=0.0904). Scale bar is 200□µm. ( C ) HYDRA immunohistochemistry analysis of Siglec-7 ligands in a TMA containing primary prostate tissue and rapid autopsy tissue obtained from lethal visceral and bone metastatic tumours . HYDRA-7 Histoscores were significantly higher in lethal bone metastatic prostate tumours compared to unmatched primary prostate tumours (n=238, Welsh’s ANOVA test, p<0.0001). The levels of Siglec-7 ligands were significantly higher in prostate derived tumours growing in bone compared to matched visceral tumour tissue from the same patient (n=100, paired t test, p<0.0001). Scale bar is 200□µm. ( D ) HYDRA-7 immunohistochemistry analysis of Siglec-7 ligands in a 100-case prostate cancer TMA. Stratification of patients based on high and low Siglec-7 ligand levels shows patients with high HYDRA-7 levels (defined as the top 50 th percentile of expression) had significantly poorer survival rates compared to patients with low HYDRA-7 levels (defined as the bottom 50 th percentile of expression) (n=100, Kaplan-Meier regression model, p= 0.0041). Scale bar is 200□µm.

doi: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-18-0718

Figure Lengend Snippet: AXL is not expressed in human prostate tumors. A, AXL expression prostate cancer patients who did and did not experience a biochemical recurrence (n = 1405 patients, GenomeDx GRID dataset). P value was calculated using the Wilcoxon rank test. B, Recurrence-free survival of patients with high (above the median) and low (below the median) AXL expression (n = 571 patients, Taylor et al, 2010 visualized and analyzed with Project Betastasis). C, Representative images of AXL IHC staining of a prostate tissue microarray; LN, lymph node. C42B cells served as a negative control, DU145 as a positive control. All images at original magnification x 200. D, AXL IHC staining in metastatic patient tissue; upper panel scale bar, 100 μm; lower panel scale bar, 50 μm.
