Study on expression and correlation of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To clarity the role of VEGF and its receptors in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma development and metastasis. Methods The protein and mRNA expression of VEGF and its receptors (Fit-1 and KDR) were examined by Western-blotting and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis in laryngeal squamouse cell carcinoma (20 specimens) and the adjacent non-neoplastic laryngeal tissues (18 specimens). Results The protein and mRNA expression levels of VEGF and its receptors(Fit-1 and KDR) were more abundant in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma than that in the adjacent non-neoplastic laryngeal tissues (ordedy 4.32±2.21, 2.00±0.91. 1.20±0.55, 0.29~0.31. 2.50±1.69, 0.85±0.28. P<0.01). The expression of VEGF and its receptors(Fit-1 and KDR) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was significantly higher in lymph node positive group than that in lymph node negative group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Positive correlation was observed between VEGF and KDR in the laryngeal squamouse cell carcinoma and adjacent non-neoplastic laryngeal tissues (P<0.01). There was no correlation between VEGF and Fit-1 expression(P>0.05). Conclusion The intense expression of VEGF, Fit-1 and KDR in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma provides strong evidence linking VEGF, Fit-1 and KDR expression to the angiogenesis associated with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The positive correlation between VEGF expression and KDR expression clearly demonstrates that KDR is the main signaling receptor for VEGF in laryngeal squamouse cell carcinoma. The VEGF/KDR system plays a functional role in the progression of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Plasmid construction and idetification of human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGF-R3) extracellular domain 1-3Loop cDNA abstract / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To insert VEGF-R3(FIT-4)gene fragment into cloning vector and identify it.Methods By T-A cloning,the VEGF-R3 gene fragment amplified by RT-PCR was cloned on the PGEM-T Easy plasmid vector and transfected into E.coli JM109.the recombinant clones were screened by"white-blue plaque selection" and tested by the methods of single restrictional enzyme.Results The VEGF-R3 gene fragment amplified by RT-PCR showed a smear after the electrophoresis on agarose Gel and obtained white clones by"white-blue plaque selection".The electrophoresis result of the recombinant clones tested by the single restrictional enzyme was accordant with expectant result.Conclusion The recombinant clones through the methods T-A may be used in the further gene expression and gene therapy studies.
