细胞外信号调节激酶1/2传导通路在不同发育阶段皮肤组织内的变化

CHANGE OF EXTRACELLULAR-SIGNAL REGULATED-PROTEIN KINASE1/2 SIGNALING PATHWAY IN SKIN AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT STAGES

为研究磷酸化细胞外信号调节激酶1/2（p-ERK1/2）、Ras和C-fos在不同发育阶段皮肤中的表达特征及其可能的生物学意义,用免疫组化技术检测这3种蛋白在8例胎儿皮肤和8例成人皮肤中的表达变化规律。结果发现,在胎儿发育初期,p-ERK1/2、Ras和C-fos蛋白表达较低,随着胎儿生长发育,这3种蛋白的阳性细胞率逐渐增大,在妊娠后期胎儿和成人皮肤组织中,3种蛋白的阳性细胞率明显高于妊娠早期胎儿皮肤（P<0.01）。p-ERK1/2、Ras和C-fos蛋白在不同发育阶段皮肤组织内都有表达,显示它们可能对皮肤的发生、结构和功能的维持以及损伤后修复十分重要。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the localization and expression characteristics of phosphorylated form of extracellular-signal regulated-protein kinasel/2 (p-ERKl/2), Ras and C-fos in skin at different development stages and to explore their potential biological significance. Immunohistochemistry and pathological methods were used to detect the expression intensity and distribution of p-ERKl/2, Ras and C-fos in skin of 8 fetuses with different gestational ages (13 to 31 weeks) and 8 adults. Positive immunohistochemical signals of p-ERK1/2, Ras and C-fos. could be found in fetal and postnatal skins. Along with the increment in gestational age, the positive cell rates of p-ERK1/2, Ras and C-fos in the skin elevated progressively. In skins derived from the fetus of late-trimester pregnancy and adult, the positive rates of these three proteins were significantly increased in comparison with skin from the early-trimester fetus (P<0. 01). The extracellular-signal regulated-protein kinasel/2 signaling pathway might be involved in the cutaneous development at embryonic development and in the cutaneous structure, function maintenance and wound healing at adulthood.
