abstract = {Liposarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcomas of
adults. The identification of lipoblastic cells in soft
tissue sarcomas is mandatory for the diagnosis of most
subtypes of liposarcomas but may be difficult in
conventional histology. The present study focuses on the
expression and possible diagnostic impact of two PAT family
proteins, perilipin 1/perilipin and perilipin 2/adipophilin
in human liposarcomas.Eighty-seven cases of liposarcomas and
30 cases of non-lipomatous sarcomas were investigated
immunohistochemically for perilipin 1 and 2 using entire
tissue sections. Statistical analyses were performed using
appropriate tests.Most liposarcomas and non-lipomatous
sarcomas displayed positivity for perilipin 2. In contrast,
while more than two-thirds of liposarcomas presented
perilipin 1 positivity, all non-lipomatous sarcomas studied
were negative for this marker, with statistical significance
(p < 0.001). Perilipin 1 expression increased with
adipocytic differentiation of liposarcoma subtypes showing
statistical significance (p < 0.001). Non-lipomatous
sarcomas demonstrated variable expression levels of
perilipin 2. The expression level of perilipin 2 appeared to
be correlated with tumor cell degeneration, e.g., through
hypoxia.Perilipin 2 is not well suitable for distinction
between liposarcomas and non-lipomatous sarcomas. However,
perilipin 1 appeared to be a highly specific marker for
liposarcoma and adipocytic differentiation in sarcomas with
intermediate sensitivity.},
