ABSTRACT

Objective: To verify whether hot PBS washing after the enzymatic reaction between tyramine and horseradish peroxidase can improve the sensitivity and specificity of catalyzed signal amplification (CSA). Methods: Using 7 different types of primary antibodies and 2 tumor microarray system, we carried out En Vision, LSAB, Standard CSA, and modified CSA staining and compared their sensitivities and specificities. Results: The modified CSA method was the most sensitive one among the 4 methods, followed by standard CSA, En Vision, and LsAB method. The sensitivity of modified CSA method was 2-3 times higher than that of standard CSA. The 4 methods had similar background staining and had exact localization of cells. Conclusion: The modified CSA is more stable and sensitive than traditional CSA staining method.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To apply chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH for detection of HER2 gene amplification in breast cancer tissues and to discuss some modifications of the CISH method. Methods: HER2 gene amplification was detected by CISH in 60 breast cancer specimens with an immunohistochemical score over 2+. The correlation between the results of IHC and CISH was analyzed. Our experience in CISH manipulation was summarized and optimization to CISH was discussed. Results: CISH identified gene amplification in 91% (40/44) specimens with an IHC score of 3+ and in 50% (8/16) specimens with an IHC score of 2+. The total concordance rate between IHC and CISH was 80% (48/60, P<0.01). The thickness of sections should be controlled within 4-5 μm; the denaturation should be complete; and the post-hybridization washing temperature and time were also very important and the temperature should be controlled at 70-75 °C. The dyeing time of hematoxylin should also be restrictedly controlled. Positive control should be set up in the experiment for high quality of the experiment. Conclusion: CISH has high concordance rate with IHC in examining HER2 amplification and it may be a new method for detection of HER2 gene. The thickness of the sections, the post hybridization washing temperature and time, and the time of hematoxylin dyeing should be strictly controlled.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effects of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) on hepatoma cell growth through p14(ARF)-dependent and p14(ARF)-independent pathways.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HBx and p14(ARF) were transfected either separately or in combination into HepG2 cells containing wt-p53 but not expressing p14(ARF). The cells were divided into 4 groups, namely pcDNA3 (control), pcDNA3HBx, pcDNA3p14(ARF), and pcDNA3HBx + pcDNA3p14(ARF) groups. Flow cytometry was used to examine the apoptosis rates and cell cycle progression of HepG2 cells in different groups. The expression of p14(ARF), MDM2, p53, and p21(WAF1) proteins were investigated by detecting the activity of p21(WAF1) promoter-luciferase and using Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The apoptosis rates of HepG2 cells in pcDNA3HBx and pcDNA3p14(ARF) groups were significantly higher than that in the control group (14.11%, 13.72% vs 10.66%). Compared with the control group, pcDNA3HBx and pcDNA3p14(ARF) groups also showed significantly higher cell percentages arrested at G(0)/G(1) phase (63.62%, 61.75% vs 57.42%), luciferase activity of p21 promoter (1.25-/+0.05, 1.09-/+0.06 vs 0.77-/+0.03) and expressions of p53 and p21(WAF1). The cell apoptosis rate, percentage of cells in G(0)/G(1) phase and expression level of p14(ARF) were even higher in pcDNA3HBx+pcDNA3p14(ARF) group (18.61%, 66.74%, and 3.53-/+0.43, respectively) than in either p14(ARF) or HBx group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HBx induces p53 expression through p14(ARF)-dependent and independent pathways to activate p21(WAF1) promoter, leading to G(0)/G(1) arrest and apoptosis of HepG2 cells.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression levels of nm23, P53, and S100A4 in gastric carcinoma and their relationships with clinicopathologic parameters and metastasis potential.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Pathological specimens from gastric carcinoma,matched para-tumor tissues, metastatic lymph node and distant metastatic tissues were examined for the expression levels of nm23, P53, and S100A4 proteins by tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression levels of P53 and S100A4 were upregulated (P< 0.01), while the expression of nm23 downregulated (P< 0.05) in gastric carcinoma compared with non-tumor tissues. S100A4 expression was significantly higher in distant metastatic tissues, while nm23 lower in metastatic lymph nodes than those in cancer tissues. Upregulating expression levels of nm23, P53, and S100A4 were significantly correlated with some malignant behaviour of gastric cancer. The expression rates of nm23+/P53+, P53+/S100A4+, and nm23+/S100A4+ immunohistochemical phenotypes were 48/74 (64.9%), 50/74 (67.6%), and 39/74 (52.7%). P53+/S100A4+, nm23+/S100A4+, and nm23+/P53+/S100A4+ phenotypes were associated with high metastasis potential of gastric cancer.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Alteration of nm23, P53, and S100A4 expression may contribute to the development of gastric carcinoma. Nm23 and S100A4 proteins play a critical role in tumor metastasis. Co-detection of the expression of P53, nm23, and/or S100A4 can be used to evaluate high metastasis potential of gastric cancer.</p>

ABSTRACT

In the present study, we reported distribution of ER alpha and ER beta mRNAs in the hypothalamus of young and old ovariectomized (OVX) rhesus macaques. The ER alpha were detected in all six major vestiblular nuclei which included arcuate nucleus (ARC) , paraventricularis nucleus (PVN) , periventricular nucleus (PeriV) , supraoptic nucleus (SON) , medial prioptic nucleus (MPN) and lateral hypothalamus area (LHA). However, the ER beta mRNA can also detected in those nuclei excerpt SON, but the signals of ER beta mRNA were weaker than those of ER alpha mRNA. We observed that the degree of expression of ERs mRNA were different in most nucleus of old and young monkeys. The ER alpha mRNAs were highly expressed in ARC and SON in young monkeys compared with old monkeys. Moderate amount of ERalpha mRNAs hybridization signals and weak signals were observed in LHA, and MPN both in young and old monkeys. In contrast, only lower level of ER alpha hybridization signal were observed in PVN and PeriV in young monkeys, and the signals of ER alpha were very low in those nucleus of old monkeys. In general, the expression of ER beta mRNA were weaker than that of ER alpha mRNA in above nucleus excerpt LHA. The relatively higher density of ER beta hybridization signals have been observed in the LHA in young monkey compared with old monkeys. Low amount of ER beta mRNA hybridization signals were observed in the ARC, PVN and MPN, and no age differences were seen in PVN and MPN of those monkeys. In PeriV, we observed some signals in young monkey and a few signals in old monkeys. It was different from the rodent in which we did not found ER beta hybridization signal in SON. This study showed that both of the two estrogen receptors not only had the same pattern of expression but also had many different patterns of expression. The different expression of ER alpha and ER beta mRNAs in the young and old monkey brain may imply diverse functions in different regions of the monkey brain.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of Fas/FasL in infantile hemangiomas and discuss the role of Fas/FasL in the pathologic evolution of infantile hemangioma.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The EnVision immunohistochemical stain and RT-PCR technique was used to examine the expression of Fas/FasL protein and mRNA in the infantile hemangiomas.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) In the early and middle proliferating stage, a number of infantile hemangioma cells expressed Fas. In the late proliferating stage, the number of positive cells increased obviously and the expression of Fas mRNA was reaching the strongest level. In the early regressing stage the Fas still existed in some cells and after that the expression decreased quickly. (2) Up to the middle proliferating stage, there were a few of FasL(+) cells foound. In the late proliferating stage, the number of FasL(+) cells increased significantly. From the early regressing stage, the number of FasL(+) cells decreased rapidly and disappeared.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There may exist significant correlation between the expression of Fas/FasL and the development of the infantile hemangioma cells. The apoptosis of the infantile hemangioma cells mediated by Fas/ FasL may be the major reason of the spontaneous involution of infantile hemangioma.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the clinicopathologic characteristics and the relationship between related gene expression and pathobiologic behavior of pancreatic mucinous noncystic adenocarcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Among the 249 pancreatic carcinoma cases from the department files, 6 tumors were identified to meet the pathologic criteria of colloid carcinoma. Envision immunohistochemical staining technique was used to detect expression of p21(ras), p21(WAF1), p16, p33(ING1), p53, ATM, MDM2, PCNA, Cyclins (D1, D3, A, B and E). Intra- and extra- cellular mucin production were determined by AB-PAS staining. Clinically, all of 6 cases were followed to June, 2003.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In all 6 cases, the tumors were located in the head of the pancreas and all displayed similar microscopic findings. Duodenal invasion was seen in 4 cases and perineural invasion was seen in 1 case. Tumor metastasis in the liver was seen in 2 cases and in the regional lymph nodes in 2 cases. Positive immunostaining was seen in 5 cases with p21(ras), 3 cases with p21(WAF1), 1 case with p16, 4 cases with p33(ING1), 2 cases with p53, 3 cases with ATM, 3 cases with MDM2, 6 cases with PCNA, 3 cases with cyclinA, 3 cases with cyclinD1, 4 cases with cyclinD3, 4 cases with cyclinB and 6 cases with cyclinE. Both extracellular and intracellular mucin was strongly positive for AB-PAS staining. Clinical follow-up found that 2 patients died of their tumors at 14 and 20 months. Three patients were alive after 28, 49 and 87 months of follow-up. One case were lost contact.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Pancreatic mucinous noncystic adenocarcinoma has distinct morphologic features and biologic behavior. Multiple gene products including many cyclins may be involved in the pathogenesis of pancreatic colloid carcinoma. The tumor has an aggressive behavior with a high frequency of invasion and metastases, though the prognosis could be better than that of ordinary ductal adenocarcinoma of pancreas.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the biological impact of 40 amino acid deletion at the C-terminal of hepatitis B virus X on the proliferation of hepatoma cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cells of SMMC-7721 hepatoma cell line were transfected with HBx and its derivative HBx3'-40, harboring the 40 amino acid deletion at the distal C-terminal region. Cell growth curve, colony formation in soft agar plate and tumorigenesis assay in nude mice were used to observe the alterations induced by the transfection of HBx and HBx3'-40. The expression level of PCNA in tumor cells was also investigated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The growth rates of the cells transfected with HBx and HBx3'-40 were markedly increased as compared with that of the control group. The colony formation rates were enhanced in the cells transfected with HBx(48.7 +/- 8.1) and HBx3'-40 (82.8+/-6.0), comparing with the control (26.9 +/- 3.5) %. In the tumorigenic assay, the size and weight of tumors were significantly increased in the cells transfected with HBx (0.412 +/- 0.212, 0.395 +/- 0.159) % and HBx3'-40 (1.476 +/- 0.232, 0.987 +/- 0.279) %, as compared with the control group (0.051 +/- 0.024, 0.033 +/-0.004) %. The expression level of PCNA in tumors was increased in both HBx (59.00 +/- 2.58) % and HBx3'-40 (69.25 +/- 3.77) % transfected cells, comparing with the control (37.67 +/- 2.52) %. Overall, the cells transfected with HBx3'-40 demonstrated the highest proliferative capacity.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The deletion of 40 amino acids in the C-terminal of HBx is correlated with an enhanced proliferation of hepatoma cells and may play an important role in the malignant transformation of the liver.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of p14(ARF), p53, mdm2 and p21(WAF/CIP1) proteins and their relationship in exocrine pancreatic carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Specimens of pancreatic carcinoma, adjacent non-neoplastic pancreatic tissue and pancreatic benign lesions were examined for p14(ARF), p53, mdm2 and p21(WAF/CIP1) protein expression by tissue microarray technique and immunohistochemistry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of p14(ARF), p53, mdm2 and p21(WAF/CIP1) proteins in pancreatic carcinoma were 35.3% (59/167), 57.5% (96/101), 64.1% (107/167) and 39.5% (66/167) respectively. The expression of p53 proteins was increased in pancreatic carcinoma (P < 0.01), while the expression of p14(ARF) and p21(WAF/CIP1) proteins was reduced (P < 0.05), as compared with that in non-neoplastic pancreatic tissue. p21(WAF/CIP1) protein expression in pancreatic carcinoma significantly correlated with the age of patients and perineural invasion (P < 0.05). p53 protein expression correlated significantly with tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion (P < 0.05). Mdm2 protein expression correlated significantly with tumor differentiation (P < 0.05), while p14(ARF) protein expression correlated significantly with the age of patients and metastasis (P < 0.05). There was also statistic correlation between the expression of these four genes (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Overexpression of p53 and mdm2 and loss of p14(ARF) and p21(WAF/CIP1) expression may contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma. These proteins play a critical role in cell cycle arrest and apoptosis after DNA damage through p14(ARF)-mdm2-p53-p21(WAF/CIP1) pathway. Detection of p53 and Mdm2 protein overexpression may be useful in evaluation of the aggressiveness of pancreatic carcinoma.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical pathology of cavernous venous malformations of the body surface.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Tissue samples of cavernous venous malformations from 42 cases were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to observe the pathologic structure. The clinical manifestations and case history were summarized accordingly.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no distribution difference of the malformation in sex and body sides, but with obvious difference in anatomic sites. The malformation occurred most frequently at the head and neck, more frequently at extremities and least frequently at the trunk. According to pathologic structure, cavernous venous malformations of the body surface can be divided into three types: the cellular, the canaliform and the mixed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The cause of distribution difference in anatomic sites remains unclear. Internal hemorrhage and infection may account for the increased growth and ache of the lesion. The different pathologic structure of the malformation may cause different clinical manifestations.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the expression and significance of structural proteins, VEGF and Ang-1 in cavernous venous malformations of the body surface.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Tissue samples came from 25 cases of cavernous venous malformations, 12 cases of normal moderate veins and 12 cases of normal small veins. Envision immunohistochemical stain was used to investigate the expression of IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin, VEGF and Ang-1. The results were analyzed semi-quantitatively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The distribution of structural proteins in cavernous venous malformations is similar to moderate and small veins, but the expression in venous malformations is less obviously. VEGF expression in cavernous venous malformations and small veins is stronger obviously than moderate veins. Ang-1 expression in small veins is stronger remarkably than cavernous venous malformations and moderate veins.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The abnormal expression of structural proteins may be an important factor in etiopathology and progress of cavernous venous malformations. There is disturbance of blood vessel remodelling in the sinusoid of cavernous venous malformations, with which the less expression of Ang-1 may be related.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effects of hepatitis B virus X gene and p53 on hepatocellular growth.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two kinds of plasmids containing sense and antisense human wild p53 gene respectively were constructed. SMMU-7721 cells were transfected with HBx, sense-wtp53 antisense-wtp53 separately or cotransfected with either HBx and sense-wtp53 or HBx and antisense-wtp53. Flow cytometry was adopted to measure the apoptosis rates and the effects of HBx on cell cycle progression. The activity of p21(Waf1) promoter-luciferase construct was detected. Growth curves for SMMU-7721 stably transfected with pcDNA3 and pcDNA3HBx were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After doxorubicin administration, HBx was noticed able to initiate apoptosis of the liver cells. The apoptosis rate was 5.32% in the pcDNA3 transfected and 12.66% in the pcDNA3HBx transfected groups respectively. HBx could also abrogate p53-mediated apoptosis. The apoptosis rate in groups transfected with pcDNA3, pcDNA3wtp53 and pcDNA3HBx + pcDNA3wtp53 was 5.32%, 11.72% and 4.67% respectively. In compared with the normal group, the number of cells in transiently HBx-expressed group and HBx-transfected group decreased 4.79% and 10.25% respectively. HBx inhibited the activity of p21(Waf1) promoter-luciferase constructed (P < 0.05) and promoted cell growth. The growth rate of HBx expression cells was faster.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Under DNA damage, HBx reduced expression of p21(Waf1) by repressing the activity of p53 protein, followed by disturbing the regulation of G(0)-G(1) cell cycle checkpoint, and promoted the growth rate of hepatoma cells.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the expression of five kinds of cyclins in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their association with degree of tumor differentiation, metastasis and infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The HCC tissue microarrays were composed of those from 273 cases of HCC tissues, 144 surrounding-tumor liver tissues and 10 normal liver tissues obtained from autopsy. The diameter of each specimens on tissue microarrays was 2.0 mm. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of cyclin A, cyclin B, cyclin D1, cyclin D3 and cyclin E on HCC tissue microarrays. The association of the expression of these cyclins with the infection rate of HBV was also analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Three paraffin-embedded HCC tissue microarrays were successfully constructed, including 136, 143 and 148 tissue spots, respectively. The positive rates of cyclins in 273 cases of HCC were cyclin A 52.7%, cyclin B 45.4%, cyclin D1 35.9%, cyclin D3 44.3% and cyclin E 23.1%; while the figures in 144 surrounding-tumor tissues were 8.3%, 5.6%, 4.9%, 6.3% and 1.4%, respectively. In 10 normal liver tissues these cyclins exhibited negative staining, with the exception that cyclin D1 was positive in one case of normal liver tissue. The positive rate of cyclins in HCC were significant higher than those in surrounding-tumor liver tissues (P < 0.01), in HCC tissues with histological grade II and III, the cyclins expression were stronger than that in grade I (P < 0.05). The positive rates of cyclins, except cyclin A in HCC with portal vein invasion were higher than those without portal vein invasion (P < 0.01). Infection of HBV did not have significant relationship with the expression of cyclins (P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Cyclins in different cell cycles overexpressed at varied levels in hepatocellular carcinoma, and the increased expression of cyclins may shorten the tumor cell cycle phase, accelerate cell proliferation, and have a close relationship with HCC aggressiveness.</p>

Methods: In 71 cases of stomach cancer specimen, twelve cases of gas tric mu cous membrane atypical hyperplasia tissues and 18 cases of normal gastric mucous membrane tissue(as control),the expression of P33ING1 were detected b y EnVision immunohistochemical method,while the expression of P53 and Bcl -2 in stomach cancer were also detected. Results: P33IN G1 expression in mucous membrane atypical hyperplasia group and control group was positive, the expression in stomach cancer group was extremely low(62.0%,44 /71), significantly different from the other 2 groups(P<0.01).P33ING1 expression in stomach cancer was related to the tumor growth, lymph node meta s tasis and tumor polarization (P<0.01), P53 expression was related to tumor s ize, growth and lymph node metastasis (P<0.01). Bcl-2 expression was relate d to lymph node metatasis and tumor polarization.The expression of P33ING1 was related to that of P53 in stomach cancer(P<0.05),while had no relation with that of Bcl-2.Conclusion:P33ING1 may play an importa nt role in the occurrance and development of stomach cancer.It's very important to detect the expression of P33ING1 and P53 simultaneously.
