Methods: Totally 24 samples from patients with epithelial ovarian tumor at different clinical stages and 4 from normal ovaries were examined for NM23-H1B mRNA expression by RT-PCR and Northern blot. Results: All samples expressed NM23-H1B mRNA through RT-PCR, while the level of expression in ovarian tumor was higher than that of normal ovary. The results of Northern blot showed that NM23-H1B was overexpressed in ovarian cancer while lowexpressed in normal ovary or low malignant potential (LMP). The level of expression at early stage cancer(stageⅠand Ⅱ) was higher than those in advanced cancer(stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ). In early stage carcinoma, the expression level was involved in the differentiation of tumor cell, and well-differentiated cancer expressed NM23-H1B mRNA in comparatively higher level. Conclusion: The novel gene NM23-N1B is closely correlated with the ovarian cancer.展开更多

The expression of nm23H1 has been reported to be inversely associated with metastatic potentiality in a number of human carcinomas, including breast, colorectal, gastric, hepatocellular and gallbladder carcinomas. In this study, the immunohistochemical staining of nm23H1 protein in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) was examined, and the relationship between nm23H1 and both metastasis and prognosis of patients with NPC was also investigated. Methods: Routine LSAB immunohistochemistry with the nm23H1 monoclonal murine antibody was employed to study the expression of nm23H1 protein in 95 paraffinembedded specimens of NPC treated at our hospital. The clinical pathologic data and results of followup were also retrieved. Comparisons between patients with and without expression of nm23H1 protein with respect to metastasis, locoregional recurrence and survival were performed using Log rank test. Multivariate prognostic analyses were performed by using Cox's regression model. Results: Nm23H1 negative expressive tumors were associated with a higher incidence of lymphnode metastasis (86.7%) than those of nm23H1 positive (48.6%, P<0.01). Nm23H1 negative expressive tumors were associated with a high incidence of recurrence and distant metastasis after radiotherapy (P<0.05). A significant association was found between expression of nm23H1 and prognosis (P<0.01). The expression of nm23H1 indicated favorable prognosis. Conclusion: It was suggested that nm23 H1 negative expression was significantly associated with lymphnode metastasis, recurrence and distant metastasis. Nm23H1 may have value for predicting the prognosis of NPC.展开更多

METHODS: One hundred and seventy-seven gastric cancer patients with lymph node and/or distal metastasis between 1997 and 2001 were reviewed. Differences in histology of the primary and metastatic gastric cancer were assessed. MMP-2 and nm23-H1 immunoreactivity was compared in 44 patients with tumor infiltration to the serosa layer. RESULTS: Poorly and moderately differentiated metastatic gastric cancer was found in 88.7% (157/177) and primary gastric cancer in 75.7% (134/177) of the patients. The histological type of metastatic gastric cancer that was not completely in accordance with the preponderant histology of primary gastric cancer was observed in 25 patients (14.1%). MMP-2 immunoreactivity in metastatic gastric cancer was significantly stronger than that in primary gastric cancer, while nm23-H1 immunoreactivity showed no difference in primary and metastatic gastric cancer. CONCLUSION: Metastatic gastric cancer presents more aggressive histological morphology and higher MMP-2 immunoreactivity than primary gastric cancer. This heterogeneity may elicit a possible mechanism of gastric cancer metastasis.展开更多

To understanding the molecular mechanisms in invasion andmetastasis of the ovarian carcinoma, we investigate a novel candidate metastasis―associated gene (MTA1) and nm23Hl mRNA expression and mutation in ovarian carcinoma. Methods. Twenty primary ovariancarcinoma specimens, 20 corresponding lymph nodes and 8 normal ovarian was examined for mRNAexpression and mutation of MTA1 and nm23Hl genes by reverse-transcription ploymerase chain reaction(RT―PCR) and RT―PCR―SSCP analysis. The level of the expression was determined by the relativeoptic desity (ROD) of the PCR products. Results. The frequency of MAT1 overexpression was 100% (7/7)in primary ovarian carcinoma with metastasis but only 38.5% (5/13) in those without metastasis(P=0.0103). Overexpression of MAT1 was observed in 87.5% (6/7) of lymph nodes with metastasis butonly 23% (3/13). of lymph nodes without metastasis (P=0.0118). In contrast with MAT1, low expressionof nm23H1 mRNA was seen in 7 of 7 o-varian carcinoma with metastasis but only in 4 of 13(30%) ofthose without metastassis (P=0.0043). Low nm23H1 expression was also seen in 7 of 7 lymph nodes withmetastasis but only in 5 of 13 (38.5%) nonmetastatic lymph nodes (P=0.0102). The ROD ratio of MAT1to nm23Hl increased with the development of metastasis. No mutation of MAT1 and nm23H1 genes wasfound by SSCP analysis. Conclusion. The mRNA expression of MTA1 and nm23H1 is positively andnegatively correlated with lymph node metastasis, respectively. Expression abnormalities but notmutation of the two genes are frequent events related to lymph node metastasis of ovarian cancer.展开更多
