ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the expression level of MicroRNA-15b in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma and analyze its relationship with pathological parameters. Methods From March 2016 to June 2018, 64 cases of premenopausal endometrial carcinoma tissues and 28 cases of premenopausal normal endometrial tissues that were surgically resected and examined in Shaanxi People′s Hospital were collected. The expression of microrna- 15b was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr), and the relationship between the expression level of microrna-15b and the pathological parameters of premenopausal endometrial carcinoma was analyzed. Results The relative expression level of microrna-15b in premenopausal endometrial cancer (1.38 ± 0.28) was lower than that in normal endometrial tissue (2.55 ± 0.36), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). MicroRNA-15b expression level in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma tissue of Ⅲ period, infiltration depth 1/2 or more muscle layer, lymph node metastasis, ER negative and negative PR was significantly lower than that of stage Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ, < 1/2 muscularis infiltration depth, no lymph node metastasis, and positive ER and PR(P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression level of microrna-15b in premenopausal endometrial cancer tissues with different ages, pathological types and pathological grades (P>0.05). Conclusions The expression of MicroRNA-15b in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma is low, and it is closely related to pathological stage, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and hormone receptor. Up-regulation of microRNA-15b expression may become a new treatment direction for premenopausal endometrial cancer.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT:Objective To study the expressions of adrenomedullin (ADM)andβ-catenin in human osteosarcoma of different differentiation grading and their clinical significance.Methods We chose 33 cases of human osteosarcoma with different pathological grading (14 cases of high differentiation grading and 1 9 cases of low grading)and 10 cases of human osteochondroma to detect the expressions of ADM protein,total (T)β-catenin and phosphorylated (P)β-catenin using immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of ADM was detected in the cytoplasm.In osteosarcomas of higher and lower differentiation grading,the positive rate of ADM was 57.1% (8/14)and 100% (1 9/1 9),respectively,with significant differences (P =0.0030.05).The expression of P-β-catenin was detected in the cytoplasm.In osteosarcomas of higher and lower differentiation grading,the positive rate of P-β-catenin was 35.7% (5/14)and 78.9% (1 5/1 9),with a significant difference (P =0.029 0.05 )or between T-β-catenin and P-β-catenin (P = 0.052 > 0.05 ).Conclusion The expressions of ADM and P-β-catenin proteins and the different distributions of expression of T-β-catenin protein in cytoplasm and/or nucleus are important indicators for judging the pathological grading of osteo-sarcoma.
