ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the expressions and clinical significance of p53 and p33ING1b in human psoriasis and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Methods Immunohistochemistry EnVision technique was used to detect the expressions of p53 and p33ING1b in samples of 36 psoriasis vulgaris, 28 BCC and 14 normal skins. Results The expression of p53 increased while p33ING1b had a degressive expression in the control group, the psoriasis group and the BCC group. It was found significant statistical difference between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Prominent positive correlation between p53 and p33ING1b were found in both psoriasis group and BCC group (all P<0.05). Conclusions p53 coacts with p33ING1b at local lesions of abnormal proliferative diseases . It′s one of the most prominent mechanisms contributing to deviant cell proliferation.
ABSTRACT
Objective Inhibitor of growth 1 ( ING1 ) gene has been identified as a novel candidate of tumor suppressor gene .Over-expression of ING1 plays well-established roles in numerous cell processes ,inclu-ding DNA repair and cell apoptosis .Our study is to investigate the clinical significances of expression of ING 1 in colorectal cancer ( CRC) .Methods The mRNA level of ING1 in 82 matched samples comprising primary CRC and paired non-cancerous mucosa were detected and compared by quantitative RT -PCR.Then the correlations of mRNA level of ING1 with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with CRC were ana -lyzed.Results (1)In the same matched tissues,the expression level of ING1 was significantly higher in normal tissues than that in cancer tissues.(2)mRNA expression of ING1 was associated with certain clinical -pathologic variables such as tumor infiltrating level ,lymphatic metastasis,distant metastasis and advancing TNM stage .(3) We obtained the expression levels ratio of cancer tissue and normal tissue and found the lower ratio has a lower Disease-Free Survival(DFS)(P<0.0001).(4)ING1,as a candidate of tumor suppressor gene ,remained a sta-tistically-significant prognostic marker in the Cox regression analysis .Conclusion Down-regulation of ING1 may be correlated tightly with the occurrence and progression of sporadic colorectal cancer .Its expression level can be used to predict prognosis of CRC .
