General description
Chromogranin A (a protein of 439 amino acids which is encoded on chromosome 14) is present in neuroendocrine cells throughout the body, including the neuroendocrine cells of the large and small intestine, adrenal medulla and pancreatic islets. It is an excellent marker for carcinoid tumors, phenochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and other neuroendocrine tumors. Coexpression of chromogranin A and neuron specific enolase (NSE) is common in neuroendocrine neoplasms.
Specificity
Chromogranin, an acidic protein having a molecular weight of about 68 kDa abides in the polypeptide-hormone-containing secretory granules of human endocrine tissues. Anti-chromogranin A can be used to stain most normal and neoplastic endocrine tissues containing secretory granules (exceptions include cells from the hypothalamus and posterior pituitary, which are known to contain secretory granules). The amount of staining is usually proportional to the number of secretory granules present (1).
Application

Co-deletion of chromosome arms 1p and 19q, characteristic of oligodendroglial tumors, was recently found to be mediated by t(1;19)(q10;p10). To evaluate the prevalence of 1p19q co-deletion and t(1;19) in extraventricular neurocytomas (EVN), we studied tumors from 23 patients, including 13

Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) has recently emerged as a reliable nuclear immunostaining marker for detecting neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in paraffin-embedded surgical samples and cytologic cell blocks, but the reliability of INSM1 staining on cytologic smears is understudied.

Limitations in β-cell regeneration potential in middle-aged animals could contribute to the increased risk to develop diabetes associated with aging. We investigated β-cell regeneration of middle-aged Wistar rats in response to two different regenerative stimuli: partial pancreatectomy (Px + V)
