ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane (CMTM)domain-containing family in clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)and its significance.Methods Seventy-five samples of ccRCC were collected,including 50 males and 25 females,mean age (59 ± 10)years.There were 34 cases in clinical stage Ⅰ,23 cases in stage Ⅱ,14 cases in stage Ⅲ and 4 cases in stage Ⅳ.The pathological differentiation was 3 cases of grade Ⅰ,1 case of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,35 cases of grade Ⅱ,10 cases of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ,18 cases of grade Ⅲ,3 cases of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and 5 cases of grade Ⅳ.The expression of CMTM3 and CMTM5 proteins in 75 cases of ccRCC and corresponding adjacent normal kidney tissues was detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rate of CMTM3 and CMTM5 was 98.7％,97.3％ in the adjacent normal kidney tissues,and 44.0％,68.0％ in ccRCC tissues(P ＜ 0.05).The expression of CMTM3 and CMTM5 had no correlation with the gender,age,clinical staging and pathological differentiation(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion CMTM3 and CMTM5 could be ccRCC suppressor genes,and their mutation or methylation might be an early event in the carcinogenesis of ccRCC,thus promise them to be potential biomarkers in early diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of CKLF-like Marvel transmembrane domain containing 5 (CMTMS) on prostate cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion.Methods The inhibitory effects of CMTM5 on the migration of DU145 cells were studied in vitro by wound healing assay.The expression of the cell signal pathway PI3K-AKT protein was detected by Western blot.The inhibition of tumor growth was also studied in transplanted prostate cancer nude mice model treated with CMTM5 adenovirus.The expression of CMTM5 and ki-67 in transplanted prostate cancer tissue of the nude mice model was analyzed immunohisochemistically.Prostate tumor volume in the nude mice model and the proliferation were measured two weeksafter.injection..Results Wound healing assay showed that over-expression of CMTM5 can inhibit the migration of DU145 cells.The expression of pAKT and NF-kB was significantly decreased after the overexpression of CMTM5.The tumor volume (573.39 ± 175.24) mm3,weight (0.55 ± 0.11) g and proliferation index of prostate in CMTM5 orthotopic injection nude mice model were significantly smaller and decreased than those in the control group (1482.50 ± 327.86) mm3 and (1.31 ± 0.29) g (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that overexpression of CMTM5 could suppress prostate cancer cell proliferation,migration and invasion.The effect may be conducted by PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To discover whether there is any other pathway than EGFR which has interaction with HER2 that makes a different down stream on cancer manners and whether CMTM5 plays a role in HER2 related tumor performance.Methods:HER2 and CMTM5 were detected on prostate cancer tissue chip using IHC.The protein levels of HER2、Cyclin D1 and CMTM5 were compared had with or without CMTM5 plasmid transfection on PC3 cell line to insure their relationship.Results:The author demonstrated that the HER2 had been up regulated in prostate cancer epithelium while CMTM5 down regulated.Overexpression of CMTM5 in PC3 could lower the HER2 and Cyclin D1 protein level.Conclusion:The results suggest that in prostate cancer HER2 has a different partner in the signaling transduction other than EGFR as in a traditional pathway.CMTM5 may have a chance to be chosen as the next potential treatment bio-target of prostate cancer.
