EXPRESSION OF PCNA,AKP AND ACP DURING DEVELOPMENT OF MOUSE FORE STOMACH CARCINOMA

Objective： To find out the relationship of the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen （proliferating cell nuclear antigen, PCNA）, alkaline phosphotase （alkaline phosphotase, AKP） and acid phosphotase （acid phosphotase, ACP） with the development of mouse fore stomach cancerization. Methods： The animal models, including the various stages during the development of NIH mouse fore stomach carcinoma, were made by N-Nitrososarcosineethylester （N-Nitrososarcosineethylester, NSEE）. The mice were sacrificed on the 14th, 28th, 42nd, 56th, 70th and 84th days respectively after mice were irrigated with NSEE. The fore stomach was taken out and dissected. The methods of histopathology, immunohistochemistry and isoenzyme electrophoresis were adopted to study the dynamic changes of cell shape and expression of PCNA, AKP and ACP. Results： On the 42nd and 56th days after NSEE treatment, the expression of PCNA increased gradually along with the cancerization. Comparing with the control, there were significant differences （P〈0.05）. On the 70th and 84th days, the expression of PCNA increased further （compared with the control P〈0.01）. The activity of AKP increased gradually along with the cancerization. On the 14th, 28th, 42nd and 56th days, there were significant differences （P〈0.05）; on the 70th and 84th days, the activity of AKP increased further （P〈0.01）. The activity of ACP also increased on the 14th, 28th, 42nd and 56th days, and there were significant differences on the 70th days （P〈0.05） and on the 84th days （P〈0.01） compared with the control. Conclusion： During the carcinogenesis of NIH mouse fore stomach, the expressions of PCNA, AKP and ACP increased gradually and were consisted with the changes of cell shapes.

Screening and Identification Differentially Displayed Genes in Fore Stomach Carcinoma of Mice

Objective： To screen and identify key genes differentially displayed in mouse fore stomach carcinoma, in order to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying carcinogenesis. Methods： The animal models complied with each period of NIH mouse fore stomach carcinoma induced by N-Nitrososarcosineethylester （NSEE） were used in this study. The mice were euthanized on days 14, 28, 56, 77 and 84, respectively, after NSEE-piped treatment, and classified according to their pathologies. The differentially expressed genes were isolated from both normal and morbid tissues by mRNA differential display technique and screened by using Reverse Northern blot. Bioinformatics were employed to analyze the results observed. After identification, ten fragments were cloned and matched with GENEBANK database through homologous analysis. Results： One gene was found identical to splicing factor 3b subunit 1 （Sf3bl）, while seven fragments hold the homology of known cDNA clones. In contrast, other two fragments had extremely low identity to any genes registered in GENBANK databases. Conclusion： It is the first time to demonstrate in this study that splicing factor3b, subunitl （Sf3bl） is related to mouse fore stomach carcinoma. Furthermore, ESC-3 and ESC-4 are suggested to contribute to the development of mouse fore stomach carcinoma, thus may be candidates of new targets of oncogenes.
