【Abstract】Objective To explore the clinical significance of β-catenin expression in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods The immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of β-catenin in the specimens of 46 patients with pancreatic carcinoma and the results were statistically analyzed.Results The abnormal expression rate on the membrane was 54.3%, the poorer the differentiation, the higher the abnormal expression rate. The levels of the cases in whom metastasis occurred were much higher than those without metastasis. The abnormal cytoplasm expression rate was 21.7%,which had not significant correlation with the clinical indexes, such as staging, tumor size, grading and metastasis. In 23 patients who accepted intervention chemotherapy before operation, the cytoplasm expression rate in those with tumor mass smaller was 0, which was evidently lower than that of those without tumor mass change (33.3%). Moreover, the abnormal membrane and cytoplasm expression rates had remarkable concordance (63.0%).Conclusion The abnormal membrane expression of β-catenin may accelerate metastasis, and the abnormal expression of β-catenin in cytoplasm may result in cell proliferation.
目的 探讨HIF-1α和BAK蛋白在胃癌中的表达情况，以及二者在胃癌中的相互关系及作用。方法 应用免疫组化SABC染色法检测80例胃癌组织和20例正常胃组织中的HIF-1α和BAK蛋白的表达情况。结果 胃癌中HIF-lα和BAK蛋白的表达阳性率分别为56.3%（45/80）和67.5%（54/80），而在胃正常组织中分别为5.0%（1/20）和20.0%（4/20），二者在胃癌中的表达显著高于胃正常组织，其差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。HIF-1α蛋白表达与胃癌组织的浸润范围、分化程度及淋巴结转移有关（P＜0.05），与临床分期、年龄及性别无关（P＞0.05）；BAK蛋白表达与胃癌浸润及分化程度相关（P＜0.05），与淋巴结转移、临床分期、年龄及性别无关（P＞0.05）。胃癌组织中HIF-1α与BAK蛋白的阳性表达之间呈正相关（列联系数r=0.056，P＜0.05）。结论 HIF-1α与BAK蛋白在胃癌的临床分期及浸润转移中存在关系，这对于研究胃癌的发生和发展，以及对于探索以二者为靶点的抗肿瘤治疗有重要意义。
To study the mechanism of p16,Cyclin D1 and CDK4 and their relationship with pancreatic carcinoma, their expressions were examined by immunchistochemistry methods. Results: overpression of Cyclin D1 and CDK4 was revealed in these samples and p16 was undertectable. There was a negitive correlation between p16 and Cyclin D1 (Ｐ＜0.05), and a positive relation between Cyclin D1 and CDK4 (Ｐ＜0.05). The results indicate that abnormality of p16, Cyclin D1 and CDK4 may be involved in the molecular mechanism of pancreatic carcinoma, p16 lower expression and Cyclin D1 over expression may coexit in the development of pancreatic carcinoma.
Objective To investigate the expression of cell division regulators p16, Rb and cyclin D1 in human early gasric carcinoma tissues and their role in tumor transformation and the correlation among p16, Rb and cyclin D1. MethodsA comparative study was carried out by using immuno-histochemical techniques between the paracarcinomatous intestinal metaplasia of 39 cases of early gatric carcinoma and the non-carcinomatous gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia tissues of 34 cases.ResultsOver expression of cyclin D1 was determined in 33/39 carcinomatous samples(84.6%) and also in para-carcinomatous intestinal metaplasia tissues. p16 was undetectable in 12 of 39 samples. Interestingly, 15 of 26 Rb positive cancers had no or low p16,while 9 Rb negative cancers showed high levels of p16.Conclusion The over expression of cyclin D1 may be a common molecular abnormality and an early molecular event in early gastric carcinoma. Cyclin D1 over expression and Rb inactivation can co-exist in early gastric carcinoma. However, there is a reciprocity between Rb inactivation and p16 expression in early gastric carcinoma. Thus, abnormality in the negative feedback regulatory pathway of cyclin D1,Rb and p16 may be related to the tumorigenesis in early gastric carcinoma.
目的:通过检测髓母细胞瘤（Medulloblastoma）中凋亡抑制蛋白（survivin）的表达情况，探讨它的临床意义，为髓母细胞瘤的治疗寻求新的思路。方法:对50例髓母细胞瘤及10例正常脑组织石蜡切片行免疫组化检测，通过对survivin蛋白在髓母细胞瘤患者与正常脑组织中的表达差异，并运用相关统计分析方法分析它在不同性别、年龄段、肿瘤大小、病理类型、临床分期的表达差异及其与预后的相关性。结果:（1）髓母细胞瘤中survivin蛋白阳性表达率为72%，明显高于正常脑组织的阳性表达率0%，二者表达差异明显（Plt;0.01）；亚组分析发现在survivin蛋白阳性组（n=36）和阴性组（n=14）病例中，性别分布、肿瘤部位、肿瘤大小、病理分型等因素在两者间无明显差别（Pgt;0.05），而年龄及TM临床分期在两组间差异显著（P分别为0.044和0.027）。（2）survivin阳性患者预后与和阴性组相比差异显著（P=0.001）。结论:survivin可能参与了对髓母细胞瘤细胞凋亡的调控，并对髓母细胞瘤的发生发展可能起着重要作用。由于survivin蛋白表达与髓母细胞瘤患者年龄、临床分期及预后等也密切相关，可作为判断病情和评价预后的指标。
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological significance of integrin α5β1 expression and microvessel density(MVD) in gastric cancer(GC) and the correlation of MVD with integrin α5β1. MethodsThe expression of integrin α5β1 was detected by means of immunohistochemical staining (SP method) on paraffinembeded tissue specimens from 35 primary gastric carcinoma(PGC), 10 metastasic lymph node of gastric cancer and 8 chronic superficial gastritis (CSG). Vascular endothelial cells were stained immunohistochemically using antiCD34 monoclonal antibody to recognize microvessel(MV) in 35 cases of PGC and 8 CSG, MV was counted in 4 hot spot per slide under lightmicroscope (×400) and the average was defined as MVD. The results combined with clinicopathological parameters were analyzed statistically to characterize the role of integrin α5β1 and MVD in the progression of gastric cancer. ResultsIntegrin α5β1 expression and MVD in PGC were significantly higher than those in CSG respectively （t=3.32, P lt;0.01; t=2.30, Plt;0.05）; the expression of integrin α5β1 in PGC showed only a correlation with the invasion depth of tumor (t=2.29, Plt;0.05） while MVD showed all correlations with invasion depth,lymph node status and TNM stage （t=3.07, Plt;0.01; t=2.48, Plt;0.05; t=2.94,Plt;0.01）. Neither integrin α5β1expression nor MVD showed a relation with differential of PGC （t=0.15, Pgt;0.05; t=0.41, Pgt;0.05）. Integrin α5β1 was significantly overexpressed in lymph node metastatic cancer compared with that in corresponding PGC （t=2.45, Plt;0.05）; the difference of MVD showed no statistical significance among levels of integrin α5β1 expression in PGC （F =1.43,P＞0.05） and it showed no correlation with integrin α5β1 expression（r= 0.156, P=0.37）.Conclusion Overexpression of integrin α5β1 is present in GC and associates with the progression of tumor, implying that it may be viewed as the indicator of invasion and metastasis and the candidate target of gene therapy of gastric cancer. However, integrin α5β1 may not play an important role in the vascularization of GC.
目的 研究缺氧诱导因子-1α（HIF-1α）与基质金属蛋白酶-2（MMP-2）在低分化胃癌中的表达，并探讨两者在低分化胃癌浸润、转移过程中的相互关系及作用。方法 采用SP免疫组化方法，检测54例低分化胃癌及20例正常胃组织石蜡标本中HIF-1α和MMP-2蛋白表达水平。结果 低分化胃癌组织中HIF-1α和MMP-2蛋白表达阳性率明显高于正常胃组织（Plt;0.05）。两者的表达与肿瘤的浸润深度、淋巴转移和TNM分期均有关（Plt;0.05），HIF-1α与MMP-2的表达呈正相关（r=0.580, Plt;0.05）。结论 HIF-1α和MMP-2在低分化胃癌的侵袭、转移过程中存在一定的协同作用，两者可能成为判断胃癌预后的指标。
Objective To investigate the possible interaction between the ras and p53 genes overexpression in thyroid carcinoma, and whether there is correlation between the ras and p53 overexpression and clinico-pathological criteria. Methods Thyroid lesions from eighty patients were examined for expression of ras and p53 genes by the LSAB immunohistochemistic method. Of these patients, 54 were diagnosed as malignant lesions and 26 benign nodular thyroid disorders. Results The positive immunostain rate for ras and p53 genes was 90.7%, 23.0% and 55.5%, 30.7% in carcinoma and benign lesions respectively with statistically significance between thyroid carcinomas and benign disorders (Ｐ＜0.05). Both ras and p53 overexpressions coexisted in 30 thyroid carcinomas and follow-up showed that 3 of them died and 5 of them had recurrence within 4 years.Conclusion Activation of ras gene and inactivation of p53 gene are cooperatively associated in thyroid tumorigenesis. The concurrent overexpression of ras and p53 could result in a poor prognosis.
ObjectiveTo detect the expression of motilin in gastric cancer tissues and to explore the relationship between motilin protein expression and clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric cancer. MethodsThe immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression of motilin protein in gastric cancer, paracancerous tissues, and normal gastric mucosa tissues. The relationship between motilin protein expression and clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric cancer was analyzed. ResultsThe expression of motilin protein in gastric cancer tissues (1 206.43±631.67) was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa tissues and paracancerous tissues, respectively (Plt;0.01). The difference of motilin protein expression between normal gastric mucosa tissues and paracancerous tissues was not significant (Pgt;0.05). The expression of motilin protein in gastric cancer was correlated with the site of tumor, differentiation degree, and lymph node metastasis (Plt;0.05). ConclusionMotilin may participate in the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer, and correlated with the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.
