Description
Mesothelin is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein present on the cell surface of various human solid tumors. It is expressed on pleural and peritoneal mesothelial cells, but not in other non-neoplastic tissues. The mesothelin gene encodes a 6 9-71kDa precursor protein that is processed to a 40kDa membrane-bound protein termed mesothelin and a 31kDa shed fragment called megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF) that is released from the cell. Mesothelin is a tumor differentiation antigen present at low levels on a restricted set of normal adult tissues ( eg mesothelium), and is expressed at high levels in mesotheliomas, as well as ovarian, pancreatic, and lung cancers. Mesothelin may be a new target for immunotherapy.

Human Diseases
- Mesothelioma: High levels of mesothelin are associated with this cancer, and its expression is used as a diagnostic marker.
- Ovarian Cancer: Overexpression correlates with poor prognosis and is involved in peritoneal implantation of cancer cells.
- Pancreatic Cancer: Nearly all pancreatic cancers express mesothelin, making it a potential target for therapy.
- Lung Cancer: Mesothelin is expressed in a significant percentage of lung adenocarcinomas.
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML): Recently identified as overexpressed in some hematological malignancies, presenting new therapeutic opportunities.
Cellular Signaling Pathways
- PI3K/Akt Pathway: Mesothelin activation can lead to cell proliferation and survival through this pathway.
- MAPK/ERK Pathway: Involved in cell growth and differentiation; mesothelin can activate this pathway, promoting tumorigenesis.
- Wnt Signaling Pathway: Mesothelin expression can be regulated by Wnt signaling, which is crucial in many cancers.
- MMP Activation: Soluble mesothelin can trigger matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-7), enhancing migration and invasion of cancer cells.
- NFκB Pathway: Overexpression of mesothelin can lead to NFκB activation, contributing to cancer cell survival and resistance to apoptosis.
