RESUMEN
To investigate the relationship between the expression of death associated protein kinase (DAPK) gene and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The expression of DAPK gene in OSCC was detected by semi-quantitive RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of DAPK gene was down regulated significantly, which may relate to the tumorigenesis and development of OSCC. The detection of DAPK gene may act as an index in OSCC dignosis.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the relationship between apoptotic protease activating factor 1(APAF1) gene and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods:The mRNA expression of APAF1 gene were detected with semiquantitative RT-PCR method in 18 cases of normal oral mucous membrane and 32 cases of OSCC tissues. Results:The expression of APAF1 gene was significantly decreased in OSCC tissues comparing with the normal oral mucous membrane(P
RESUMEN
Objective:To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptor Flt1 in the process of mandibular fracture healing.Methods:The fracture models were made in the middle of the left mandible of 25 rabbits,then the specimens from the fracture site were taken 48 hours and 1,3,5 and 8 weeks after operation respectively. The expression of VEGF and Flt1 was detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.Results:VEGF mRNA, VEGF and Flt1 were detected in many kinds of cells in the fracture site from 48 hours to 8 weeks after fracture, and high expression of VEGF and Flt1 were detected from 1 to 3 weeks after facture.Conclusions:VEGF and Flt1 are expressed through the process of fracture healing, VEGF may play important role in the process of blood vessel rebuilding after fracture.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the expressions of P27 protein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) and to determine the relationship between them. Methods: SP immunohistochemistry was used to detect P27 protein and PCNA in 55 cases of OSCC, 5 biopsies of normal oral mucosa and 20 hyperplastic tissues. Results: The expression rate of P27 protein and PCNA in OSCC were 40.0%,80.0%,which were different from normal oral mucosa and hyperplasia tissues(P0.05). They correlated with malignant behaviors, clinical stages and whether there was lymphnode metastasis or not of the neoplasm(P0.05). Conclusion: Decrease of P27 protein expression and increase of PCNA expression may be important indicators which stand for malignant behavior of neoplasm. The results suggest that their inverse correlation between PCNA and P27 in various forms of oral squamous cell carcinomas may be of prognostic and therapy value.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of human p27~(kip1) gene on the proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC) Tca8113 cells.Methods:Human p27~(kip1) gene was cloned from normal tissue and reconstructed into eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into Tca8113 cells with liposome.The integration and expression of exogenous objective gene in the target cells were examined by PCR and flowcytometry,the growth of transfected cells and non-transfected cells was investigated by MTT assay and flowcytometry.Results:p27~(kip1) cDNA was successfully cloned and reconstructed into vector pcDNA3.The gene was trasfected into Tca8113 cells and stable transfection was achieved by screening with G418.After p27~ kip1 transfection the cell proliferation was inhibited,proliferation index decreased(P
