RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) in gallbladder cancer (GBC) and to investigate the anti-cancer activities of TFPI-2 against the growth of GBC.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>TFPI-2 expression in gallbladder normal tissues, gallbladder polyp (GBP) tissues and GBC tissues were examined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Adenovirus carrying human TFPI-2 gene (Ad5-TFPI-2) were constructed and its anti-cancer effects were investigated in xenograft tumors. Xenograft tumors were constructed by injection of GBC-SD and SGC-996 cells into the flank of nude mice and the volume of xenograft tumors was measured every 3 days until the sacrifice of mice. The apoptosis index of xenograft tumors was examined by TUNEL assay. The status of Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 was examined by Western blot assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>TFPI-2 expression was profoundly lower in GBC tissues (87.0%) when compared to normal tissues (23.3%) and GBP tissues (52.2%; χ(2) = 21.104, P = 0.000). Ad-TFPI-2 significantly inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice. Ad-TFPI-2 inhibited GBC-SD cell growth through the induction of apoptosis. The means of total apoptotic cells per field were much higher in Ad5-TFPI-2 group than those in PBS and Ad5-GFP groups. Ad5-TFPI-2 elevated the expression of Bax and cleaved caspase-3, while it decreased the expression of Bcl-2.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>TFPI-2 gene and protein was down-regulated in GBC and the down-regulation of TFPI-2 may play a role in the tumorigenesis of GBC. Adenovirus-mediated TFPI-2 can inhibit GBC growth through the induction of apoptosis.</p>
