ABSTRACT
Through analyzing the gene expression profile of tumor cells with gene chip technology and se -lecting the differentially expressed genes of different tumor individuals and tumor types ,researchers find that these genes are not only connected with tumor growth ,proliferation,apoptosis,and signal transduction,but also with tumor pathogenesis,tumor infiltration,tumor metastasis and tumor drug resistance .Some tumor differentially ex-pressed genes or genomes show that these genes are even associated with tumor histological source and histological type.It demonstrates practical application value in the pathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of tumors .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of Ki-67,Survivin,Livin in dysplasia,colon carcinogenesis and para-carcinoma tissues,and to discuss the variation of cell proliferous capability in colon carcinogenesis and antiapoptosis factors.Methods 219 specimens were composed of mild,moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia,well,moderately,poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma,para-carcinoma tissues of 36,34,18,35,27,35 and 34 cases.Detected the expression of Ki-67,Survivin and Livin with tissue microarray and immunohistochemical methods.All data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 17.0.Results In mild,moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia,well,moderately,poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues the expression of Ki-67 were (21.56 ± 19.20)％,(37.44 ± 17.41)％,(36.17 ± 17.41)％,(55.29 ± 16.13)％,(44.89 ± 29.67)％,(45.11 ± 29.24)％,(43.94 ± 28.84)％,Survivin were 13.8 ％,44.1％,77.8 ％,85.7 ％,85.1％,91.4 ％,91.1％,and Livin were 2.7 ％,38.2 ％,55.6 ％,100.0 ％,77.8 ％,80.8 ％,79.4 ％.The differences of Ki-67,Survivin and Livin expression in each group were statistically significant (F =6.796,X2 =81.754,X2 =95.200,all P ＜ 0.05).Ki-67 was significantly correlated with expression of Livin (r =0.360,P ＜ 0.05) and no correlated with expression of Survivin (r =0.044,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Colonic epithelium from mild atypical hyperplasia to proliferation of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma cells formed a peak,and gradually down to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma formed a platform.When the colon epithelial cells to become cancerous,the capability of cell proliferation will significantly enhance,apoptosis inhibition will reach the peak and the tumor cell will happen the changes of malignant biological behavior.Tumor microenvironment may promote the cell proliferation in para-carcinoma tissues and the development of colon cancer.Livin may inhibit apoptosis and promot the progression in synergistic mechanism importing with Survivin,which play a role in the development of colonic adenocarcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the correlation between axon guidance factor Semaphorin 5A and clinicopathological features and its role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.Methods The expression of Semaphorin 5A in gastric cancer tissues of 171 patients with different gender,age,histological type and TNM stage was detected with immunohistochemistry assay.The expression of Semaphorin 5A was determined by Western blotting assay in gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and MKN-45 with metastatic ability and gastric cancer cell lines SNU-1 and AGS without metastatic ability.With RNA interfere technique(RNAi),Semaphorin 5A siRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into gastric cancer cell line SGC7901.The stable gastric cancer cell line down-expressing Semaphorin 5A was established.The effect of Semaphorin 5A gene silencing on the adhesion,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell was examined by cell adhesion test,wound healing test and transwell chamber assays.Results The expression level of Semaphorin 5A was correlated with the differentiation degree of gastric cancer(x2 =6.32,P =0.01),lymphnode metastasis(x2 =7.68,P=0.01)and distant metastasis of gastric cancer(x2 =13.67,P =0.00),not correlated with age(x2 =0.21,P=0.79),gender(x2=1.79,P=0.15)and the depth of gastric cancer invasion(x2=1.34,P=0.55).The expression of Semaphorin 5A in cell lines SGC7901 and MKN-45 was significantly higher than that of cell lines SNU-1 and AGS(P＜0.01).Semaphorin 5A gene silencing significantly suppressed the adhesion,migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cells.Conclusion Semaphorin 5A may play a catalytic role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer through increasing the adhesion,migration and invasion abilities of gastric cancer cell.
