Methods All of the specimens were obtained from the Department of Pathology of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2000 to August 2004. We detected the expression of cyclin G1 with immunohistochemistry, HPV16/18 infection with in situ hybridization, and high-risk HPV infection with Hybrid capture system Ⅱ (HC-Ⅱ) in normal group (25 cases), CIN Ⅰ (48 cases), CIN Ⅱ (56 cases), CIN Ⅲ(54 cases), and invasive cervical squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC, 31 cases). Results The positive rates of cyclin G1 expression in CIN(77.85% )and SCC cervical tissues (87. 10% ) were significantly higher than normal ( 8.00%, P 〈 0. 01 ), and the intensities of cyclin G1 expression in CIN(40. 60% ) and SCC cervical tissues (61.51%) were significantly higher than normal (2. 72%, P 〈0.05). The positive rates and intensities of cyclin G1 expression increased gradually with the grade of cervical lesions. High-risk HPV infection rates were higher in CIN and SCC than normal groups (P 〈 0.05 ). There was a positive correlation between cyclin G1 expression and high-risk HPV infection detected with HC-Ⅱ (Kendall's tau-b =0. 316, 0. 269, 0. 352, and 0. 474 in CIN Ⅰ, CIN Ⅱ, CIN Ⅲ, and SCC, respectively, P 〈 0. 05 ). Conclusions Cyclin G1 is overexpressed in CIN and SCC. Cyclin G1 may be a biomarker for detecting CIN and SCC. Cyclin G1 may play an important role in the oncogenesis of CIN and SCC by high-risk HPV infection.展开更多

METHODS: Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase- PCR (QRT-PCR, Taqman^TM) was performed to analyze mRNA expression levels of c-erbB-1, c-erbB-2 and survivin in normal and corresponding tumor samples of 31 pancreatic adenocarcinomas and 8 cancers of the papilla of Vater. RESULTS: The overall median mRNA expression of survivin was significantly increased in both adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (P〈0.01) and papilla of Vater (P〈0.008) compared with uninvolved normal control tissue. In pancreatic cancer, expression of c-erbB-1 was significantly decreased compared with the normal pancreatic tissue (P〈0.03), whereas in the cancer of the papilla of Vater expression of c-erbB-2 was significantly downregulated (P〈0.05) compared with the paired normal samples. Gene expression was not associated with tumor stage, differentiation or prognosis. CONCLUSION: The common anti-apoptosis gene survivin is overexpressed both in the cancer of the papilla of Vater and pancreas. In contrast, the growth factor receptor genes c-erbB-1 and c-erbB-2 are differentially regulated in both tumor entities adding further evidence that pancreatic cancer is biologically different from the cancer of papilla of Vater.展开更多
