ABSTRACT
NK/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an aggressive malignant disease among Chinese.NKTCL is resistant to conventional chemotherapy regimen with poor long-term survival rate.With new progress about the mechanism of this disease,some novel chemotherapy regimens have been developed and greatly improved the outcome.This review focused on the recent understanding in the field of NKTCL oncogenesis,which may shed light on development of potential therapeutic targets of NKTCL.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of Dysadherin and analyze its role in renal clear cell carcinoma (RCCC).Methods RT-PCR and immunohistochemical were used to detect the expression of Dysadherin in 60 cases of fresh RCCC and 60 adjacent normal renal tissues(male 35,female 25; age 37-78,median age 61; ＞7 cm 24,≤7 cm 36; Ⅰ/Ⅱ 39,Ⅲ/Ⅳ 21).Results Dysadherin mRNA expression in RCCC tissues (2.0043±0.2890) was higher than that in adjacent normal renal tissues (0.8461 ±0.2479) (t =6.8020,P ＜ 0.05).Dysadherin expression was associated with nuclear grade.The expression of Dysadherin in nucleus grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ tumors were significantly higher than that in nucleus grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ tumors [the mRNA expression were 4.6224±0.3194,2.7780±0.2288,the positive rates of protein were 64.1％ (25/39),95.2 ％ (20/21) (t =6.5750,x2 =5.495,P ＜ 0.05)].There was no association between the expression of Dysadherin with sex (t =1.0530,x2 =0.023),age(t =0.0511,x2 =0.089) and tumor size (t =1.0330,x2 =0.370) (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In RCCC,Dysadherin expression is positively associated with tumor aggressiveness based on grading.It seems that Dysadherin may be a valuable prognostic marker in RCCC.
