Résumé
Objective To investigate the expression of aquaporin-8(AQP8)and apoptosis associated bcl-2 protein in human cervical carcinoma and their relationship.Methods The expression of AOP8 and bcl-2 protein in 74 cases of cervical carcinoma (46 cases of squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix,28 cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix),34 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)and 15 cases of normal cervices were detected by immunohistochemical technique,and their clinical significance were analyzed.Results The expression of AQP8 and bcl-2 protein were detected in intracytoplasm of atypia cells in CIN.squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.The positive rates of AQP8 and bcl-2 in squamous-cell carcinoma.adenocarcinoma,CIN and normal cervical epithelium were 98%,74%;61%,71%;71%,53%;53%,20%respectively.There were significant differences between squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and other groups in AQP8(P＜0.01),but no significant differences were found in any other groups.There were significant differences between squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and CIN or normal cervical epithelium in bcl-2.so were between adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.The expression of AQP8 was positively correlated with bcl-2 in human cervical carcinoma(rs=0.463,P=0.000).Conclusions There is a close relationship between high expression of AQP8 and development of human cervical carcinoma.The expression of AQP8 protein is positively correlated with bcl-2 protein in human cervical carcinoma. AQP8 protein may have anti-apoptosis function.although the detailed mechanism in human cervical carcinoma remaias to be clarified.
Résumé
Objective To identify the expressions and distributions of aquaporin-1(AQP 1) and microvessel density(MVD) in human cervical carcinomas and their relationship,and investigate the roles of AQP1 and MVD in human cervical carcinomas. Methods The expressions of AQP1 and MVD in 74 cases of cervical carcinoma(46 cases of squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix,28 cases of in adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix),in 34 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) and in 15 cases of normal cervices by immunohistochemical technique.Results The expression of AQP1 was found in vascular endothelial cell of CIN,squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix,with the largest amount in adenocarcinoma and a same amount in CIN and squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.There was distinct difference in the intensities of squamous-cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and control groups.The expression rates of MVD gradually increased with the progress of cervical lesion.There were significant differences between the above 4 groups for MVD(P
