The relationship between annexin II and clinical features of gastric cancer was analyzed. Annexin II specific si RNA was used to inhibit the expression of annexin II in gastric cancer HGC-27 cells, and the effects of annexin II on the migration and secretion of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) were observed.RESULTS The positive rate of annexin II protein was 82.4% in gastric cancer tissues and 37.5% in adjacent tissues. There was significant difference between the two groups(P < 0.01); and the positive expression of annexin II was not related to the sex and age of the patients(P > 0.05). The expression of annexin IIprotein was correlated with tumor size, histological differentiation, TNM stage, Lymph node metastasis and other clinical features were significantly correlated, the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Inhibition of annexin II expression, gastric cancer HGC-27 cells migration and secretion of MMPs were significantly decreased, the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION Annexin II is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, annexin II protein expression is related to tumor size, histological differentiation, TNM staging, lymph node metastasis and other clinical features were significantly correlated. Annexin II high expression can promote the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.展开更多

We have previously shown that annexin II （Ann II）, a high-affinity co-receptor for plasminogen/tissue plasminogen activator, plays a central role in primary hyperfibrinolysis in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia （APL）. The expression of Ann II in cells from patients with major subtypes of AML and the effect of arsenic trioxide （As203） on Ann II expression in AML cells were investigated to determine whether As203-mediated downregulation of Ann II could restore hemostatic stability. Methods A total of 103 patients （48 females and 55 males; age, 19-58 years） were included. Plasma samples were collected before and after treatment as well as after complete remission. Ann II and plasminogen activation were measured in leukemic cells during treatment with 1 pmol/L As203. Results Before AS203 treatment, Ann II mRNA expression （real-time PCR） was the highest in M3 cells （P 〈0.05）, higher in M5 cells than that in M1, M2, M4, and M6 cells （P〈0.001）, and positively correlated with Ann II protein expression （flow cytometry） （r=0.752, P 〈0.01）. Exposure for up to 120 hours to As203 （1 μmol/L） had no significant effect on Ann II protein in M1 and M2 leukemic cells, but decreased Ann II protein expression twofold within 48 hours of exposure in M3 cells （P 〈0.05） and twofold within 96 hours in M5 cells （P 〈0.05）. The rate of plasmin generation was higher in APL, M5, and M4 cells than in M1, M2, and M6 cells. Conclusions As203 may reduce hyperfibrinolysis in AML by downregulation of Ann 11. Furthermore, As2O3 affects more than one form of AML （APL, M4 and M5）, suggesting its potential role in their management.展开更多
