ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of serum response factor (SRF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR2) in gastric carcinoma. Methods SABC immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expressions of SRF and VEGFR2 in 50 cases of gastric carcinoma, 50 cases of surgery incisal edges and 29 cases of lymph node metastasis focus. Results The detection positive rates of SRF and VEGFR2 in gastric carcinoma were 52.00 % (26/50) and 60.00 %(30/50), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the normal gastric mucosa [16.00 % (8/50) and 10.00 % (5/50), respectively] (P0.05), but closely correlated to differentiation degree, invasion depth and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expressions of SRF and VEGFR2 in the gastric carcinoma were positively correlated (r= 0.594, P< 0.05). Conclusion Overexpressions of SRF and VEGFR2 in gastric carcinoma can be regarded as the poorly prognostic markers and play an important role in invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective_To study the effect of Y-27632 on invasion and motility of SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells, and to find whether Y-27632 excerts the effect by attenuating SRF expression.Methods_SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells were divided into 3 groups:1)blank control group;2)Y-27632 group;3)siRNA-SRF-1107 group. Transfected siRNA-SRF or incubated by Y-27632 48 h.The effect of Y-27632 on proliferation suppressions of SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells was detected by CCK-8 assay.Cell invasion was examined by Transwell and wound healing test.The expression of SRF, ROCK1, E-cadherin, β-catenin, F-actin, MRTF-A and Cyclin D1 were detected by Western blot.Results_Y-27632 inhibited invasion (P<0.05)but had no effect on proliferation of SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells.Y-27632 reduced ROCK1, MRTF-A, F-actin, SRF protein expressions by 37.0%, 44.3%, 62.7%and 62.7%respectively, and E-cadherin protein expression was up-regulated by 2.64 folds(P<0.05).Conclusions_The inhibition of ROCK and up-regulation of E-cadherin by Y-27632 can inhibit the invasion and migration of SGC-7901 gastric carcinoma cells that is explained at least, in part, by attenuating SRF expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expressions of Caveolin-1 and cyclin D1 and their significance in gastric cancer,and offer effective experiment evidence for the decision of gastric cancer prognosis and multitude pathway therapy.Methods The protein expression of Caveolin-1 and cyclin D1 were detected by immunohistochemistry in 120 cases of gastric cancer and 30 cases of normal gastric tissue.The correlations were analyzed between Caveolin1 and cyclin D1 expression and the clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer.Results The decreased expression of Caveolin-1 in gastric cancer may be negative correlated with tumorous differentiation degree,infiltration depth,lymphoid node metastasis and TNM stage;the increased expression of cyclin D1 in gastric cancer was positively correlated with tumorous differentiation degree,lymphoid node metastasis and TNM stage(r =- 0.297,P =0.001).Conclusion The expressions of Caveolin-1 and cyclin D1 were negatively correlated,and their negative synergy may be closely related to the occurrence,development and evolution of gastric cancer.Caveolin-1 and cyclin D1 were novel prognostic mark ers of gastric cancer,and may play an important role in the treatment of gastric cancer.
