ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect precancerous lesions of gastric cancer and biopsy tissue vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)and mutant p53 gene(mtp53)expression,to explore the development of clinical significance of VEGF and mutant p53 gene in gastric cancer.Methods:19 cases by endoscopic biopsies of normal gastric tissues,22 cases of intestinal metaplasia,47 cases of gastro-intestinal mucosal dysplasia, 54 cases of gastric cancer samples by immunohistochemical staining to detect the expression levels of VEGF and mtp53′s.Results: The expression levels of VEGF, mtp53 in normal gastric mucosa, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and gradually increased gastric cancer was the law.mtp53 of VEGF expression in gastric carcinoma and compared with normal gastric tissue,intestinal metaplasia was significantly higher(P0.05). Conclusion: The abnormal expression of VEGF and mutant p53 may be related to the degree of deterioration of the stomach tissue lesions related.
ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the expression of CD24 in colorectal carcinoma, and to explore the relationship between CD24 and the clinicopathological features of colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expression of CD24 in 62 cases of colorectal carcinoma, 47 cases of adenomas, 15 cases of colorectal polyps and 30 cases of the adjacent non-cancerous tissues were observed by immunohistochemical assay.The relationship between CD24 and the clinicopathological features was analyzed.Results The positive rates of CD24 in colorectal carcinoma 72.6％ and adenomas 63.8％ were significantly higher than those in colorectal hyperplastic polyps 13.3％ (x2 =17.83, P =0.00;x2 =11.61, P =0.00) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues 6.7％ (x2 =35.15, P =0.00;x2 =24.64, P =0.00).The expression of CD24 in colorectal carcinoma had a significant correlation with the tumor diameter (x2 =5.48, P =0.02), tumor differentiation (x2 =8.86, P =0.00), Duke staging (x2 =11.47, P =0.00) and lymph node metastasis (x2 =8.92, P =0.00).Conclusion The expression of CD24 is high in colorectal carcinoma, having a significant correlation with the size of tumor, degree of differentiation, Duke stage and lymph node metastasis.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To study the effect of vitamin K3(VK3) on the induction of apoptosis in androgen-independent prostate cancer cell PC-3M in vitro.METHODS:Cell viability was estimated by MTT assay.AO/EB staining was performed to detect apoptotic cells.Apoptosis and the changes of cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry.NAC was used to observe the effect of growth inhibition by VK3.RT-PCR was used to confirm the changes in gene expression.Levels of intracellular peroxides were estimated by using an oxidation-sensitive fluorescent probe DCFH-DA.RESULTS:PC-3M cells growth was significantly inhibited by VK3(≥60 ?mol/L,P
