RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of CD147 and MUC5ac in peripheral small cell lung cancer and the computed tomography (CT) signs.Methods Forty two cases of peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) confirmed by operation and pathology were examined by CT.The positive expression of CD147 and MUC5ac was detected by immunohistochemical staining and the relationship between the expression of CD147 and MUC5ac was analyzed.Results CD147 and MUC5ac were closely related to the lymphatic metastasis of peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (P ＜ 0.05).The positive expression of CD147 is significantly related to tumor size,deep lobulation,spinous process and lymphadenopathy (P ＜ 0.05).MUC5ac is significantly related to tumor size,deep lobulation,spiculation,vascular convergence sign,extrapleural fat Line disappearance,and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (P ＜0.05).Conclusions These results indicate that CD147 and MUC5ac play an important role in the invasion and metastasis of peripheral lung cancer.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the expression of MUC5AC in human sinus mucosa and compare the expression of MUC5AC mRNAs in normal and chronic sinus mucosa. Methods Thirty two chronic ethmoid sinusitis mucosa samples and 7 normal ethmoid sinus mucosa samples were used. The protein expression of MUC5AC was examined by using immunohistochemical method. RNAs were extracted from sinus mucosa, and fluorescent quantitative nested RT-PCR was performed for MUC5AC. Results The mean gray scale of MUC5AC protein expression was 159. 72 ± 14. 14 in chronic ethmoid sinusitis mucosa and 115.80 ±31.58 in normal ethmoid sinus mucosa. There was significantly different between two groups (t =3.57, P ＜0.01). The levels of MUC5AC mRNAs in chronic rhinosinusitis [(35.80 ± 19. 74) × 105copies/μg] were higher than those in normal sinus mucosa [(4. 66 ± 2. 47) × 105 copies/μg] . M UC5 AC mRN A expression had significant difference between chronic ethmoid sinusitis mucosa and normal sinus mucosa(t =4. 12, P ＜0.01). Conlusion This result suggested that up-regulation of MUCSAC in chronic rhinosinusitis might play an important role in the pathogenesis of sinus hyperesecretion in chronic rhinosinusitis.
