ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the expression of SKP2 and MRP-1/CD9 protein in glottic cancer and adjacent tissues,and to analyze its significance for a safe surgical margin.Method:Thirty-eight cases of glottic squamous cell carcinoma were studied for its cancer tissue, tissue 2 mm, 5 mm , and 10 mm away from cancer ,and 10 cases of vocal cord polyp were served as control. SKP2 and MRP-1/CD9 protein were examined by immunoh istochemical method.Result:The positive expression of SKP2 proteins decreased in sequence of polyp mucosa, those adjacent to carcinoma (10 mm, 5 mm, 2 mm ) and cancer tissue, and there was significant difference between them(P<0.05);On the contrary, the positive expression of the MRP-1/CD9 proteins increased in sequence of polypusmucosa, those adjacent to carcinoma (10 mm,5 mm, 2 mm) and cancer tissue,and there was significant difference between them (P<0.05).Conclusion:SKP2 and MRP-1/CD may act as the reference index for judging the biological speciality of LSCC. It is appropriate to regard 5 mm or above 5 mm away from tumors as a safe margin for surgical treatment of glottic carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
The expression of KAI1/CD82 and MRP-1/CD9 in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder (TCCB) and its clinical significance were investigated. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect KAI1/CD82 and MRP-1/CD9 protein expression in 52 TCCB specimens. Correlation between the expression of KAI1/CD82 and MRP-1/CD9 to clinicopathologic factors was statistically analyzed. The results showed that the positive rate of KAI1/CD82 and MRP-1/CD9 in TCCB was 50% and 61.5%, respectively. The MRP-1/CD9 and KAI1/CD82 expression was significantly associated with grade of TCCB (P＜0.05), but no correlation was found between MRP-1/CD9 or KAI1/CD82 expression and clinical stage of TCCB (P＞0.05). The expression level of MRP-1/CD9 and KAI1/CD82 in recurrent TCCB samples was lower than that in non-recurrent samples (P＜0.05). Meanwhile, the correlation between the KAI1/CD82 expression and MRP-1/CD9 expression was statistically significant (r=0.316, P＜0.05). It was concluded that KAI1/CD82 and MRP-1/CD9 expression may be important prognostic indicators and potentially useful for assessing the biological behavior of TCCB.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance in MRP1/CD_9 expression in cervical squamous cancer tissues and normal cervical tissues.Methods The expression of MRP1/CD_9 were assayed by SABC immunohistochemical methods in 53 cases of cervical cancer tissues and 13 cases of normal cervical tissues.Results Positive expression of MRP1/CD_9 was detected in 13 normal cervical tissue.MRP1/D_9 ex- pression is down-regulated in cervical carcinoma(P
