Expression of CyclinD1 protein in cerebral glioma in the evaluation of prognosis / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Research has showed that the abnormal expression of some proteins closely relates to the occurrence and development of cerebral glioma. However, the relationship between the abnormal expression of CyelinD1protein and the occurrence, development and prognosis of glioma is still uncertain which needs further study.OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of CyclinD1 protein in cerebral glioma and relationship between it and the impact of tumor DESIGN: Control study based on pathological specimens.SETTING: Neurosurgery department of a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 48 glioma specimens of different malignaut degree were collected from the patients who accepted surgery treatment in Neurosurgery Department of Second Hospital of Xi' an Jiaotong University during January 1990 and December 1995. Twelve normal cerebral specimens were from the non-tumor patients who were conducted intracranial pressure reducing in Neurosurgery Department of Second Hospital of Xi' an Jiaotong University during January 1990 and December 1995.METHODS: S-P immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the abnormal expression of Cyclin D1 protein. Simultaneously, the dyeing results and clinical characters of patients were associated in order to conduct comparison.RESULTS: The positive expression rate of CyclinD1 protein in human cerebral glioma was 54. 12% while in normal cerebral tissue it was about 8.33%. There was significant difference between them(x2 =8. 148 1,P = 0. 004 3 ) . And the positive expression rate in cerebral glioma of low malignancy was 37.04% while in specimens of high malignancy it was 76.19%, there was significant difference (x2 = 7. 294 0, P = 0. 006 9). The positive expression rate of CyclinD1 protein in specimens of patients with long survival period and short survival period after surgery was 70. 37% and 33.33% respectively with significant difference between them (x2 = 6. 5268,P =0.010 6).CONCLUSION: CyclinD1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of human cerebral glioma. It has provided experimental evidence for the prevention to the occurrence of glioma and the estimation of its prognosis by studying the abnormal proliferation of glioma cells targeted on CyclinD1.
