A series of brain samples were obtained directly 6h, 24 h and 3 d respectively after trauma in four groups. NF-κB activation was examined by Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA); the levels of TNF-α protein were measured by radio-immunoassay (RIA); the water content of rat brain was measured and pathomorphological observation was carried out. NF-κB activation, the levels of TNF-α protein and the water content of rat brain were significantly increased (P＜0.01) following TBI in rats. Compared with Group B, NF-κB activation (P＜0.01), the levels of TNF-α protein (P＜0.01) and the water content of brain (P＜0.05) began to decrease obviously after injury in Groups C and D.β-Aescin could dramatically inhibit NF-κB activation and the expression of TNF-α protein in the rat brain, alleviate rat brain edema, and that could partially be the molecular mechanism by which β-Aescin attenuates traumatic brain edema.展开更多

However, the expression and biological behavior of CD97, NF-kB and COX-2 in gastric MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma has not been well investigated. Methods: The expressions of CD97, COX-2 and NF-kB in 47 cases of gastric MALT lymphoma were detected immunohistochemically, and the relevance between their expressions and the biological behavior was analyzed retrospectively. Results: 1) The expressions of CD97, NF-kB and COX-2 were 87.2%, 36.2% and 48.9%, respectively;2) The difference of CD97 expression between depth of invasion limited in mucosa and submucosa and beyond muscularis propria was significant (100.0% vs. 71.4%, P < 0.01). Moreover, the expression of nuclear CD97 between stage IIE, III, IV and stage I patients showed significant difference (96.4% vs. 73.7%, P < 0.05);3) The expression of NF-kB was significantly correlated with tumor size, depth of invasion and stage;4) The expression of COX-2 was significantly correlated with Helicobacter pylori infection, clinical stage, depth of invasion and tumor size (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Expressions of CD97, NF-κB and COX-2 were correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis in gastric MALT lymphoma.展开更多

Methods The streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase (S-P) immunohistochemical method was employed to detect the expression of NF-κBp65 and cyclinD1 protein in 38 rat tongue carcinogenesis specimens induced by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide. Results With the progress of tongue carcinogenesis, the expression of NF-κBp65, cyclinD1 was up-regulated. In normal, mild epithelial dysplasia, moderate epithelial dysplasia, severe epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the positive rate of NF-κBp65 was 20%, 20%, 50%, 62.5%, 50% and 83.33%, respectively. There was significant differences between normal and SCC (P<0.05); while the level of cyclinD1 was 20%, 60%, 62.5%, 87.5%, 100% and 83.33%, respectively. There was significant differences between normal and severe epithelial dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and SCC (P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the increased levels of NF-κBp65, cyclinD1 and histopathological grade. The positive expression of NF-κBp65 was also associated with cyclinD1 in SCC (r= 0.7353, P<0.05). Conclusion The up-expression of NF-κBp65 and cyclinD1 protein may be correlated to the occurrence and the development of oral carcinoma; activated NF-κB plays an important role in the overexpression of cyclinD1. Furthermore, NF-κB and cyclinD1 may be the useful biomarker of oral precancerous lesion.展开更多
