Methods: Expression of CD105, MMP-9 and CD15s in 47 cases of gastric carcinoma undergone radical surgery were evaluated by SP immunohistochemical staining using the respective monoclonal antibody. The microvessel density (MVD) marked with CD105 was detected. Correlation between MVD and MMP-9, CD15s was also statistically analyzed. Results: The MVD in both MMP-9 and CD15s positive expression group was higher significantly than that in MMP-9 or CD15s positive expression alone group, and it was also significantly higher than that in both MMP-9 and CD15s negative expression group. Conclusion: MMP-9 is a marker of invasion and CD15s is a marker of metastasis in gastric carcinoma. Combining detection of MMP-9 and CD15s has certain clinical significance for diagnosis, treatment and assessing the prognosis for gastric caner.展开更多

Methods Expression of GNAI1 in HCC samples was determined by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Huh-7 and SNU-387 cells stably expressing GNAI1 were established by the infection of lentivirus transducing unit containing GNAI1. siRNA against GNAI1 was transfected into SMMC-7721 cells to knock down the GNAI1 expression in HCC cells. Mir-320a/c/d mimics were transfected into SMMC-7721 and SK-Hep-1 cells and the expression of GNAll was determined by Western blot. The migration and invasion of Huh-7, SNU-387, SK-Hep-1 and SMMC-7721 cells were investigated by Transwell assays. Results The GNAI1 protein was significantly downregulated in HCC samples without changes in its mRNA levels. GNAI1 could inhibit the migration and invasion of HCC cells in vitro. Further investigations indicated that GNAI1 was a target of miR-320a/c/d in HCC cells. Transwell assays demonstrated that these microRNAs could promote the migratory ability and invasivesess of HCC cells in vitro. Conclusions GNAII is downregulated in HCC and inhibits the migration and invasion of HCC cells. This study is the first to investigate the role of GNAI1 in cancer. Regulation of GNAI1 by miR-320a/c/d indicates new therapeutic avenues for targeting HCC metastasis.展开更多

Investigations on the relationship between some tumor cell properties and their metastatic potential using different clones from two tumor cell lines are reported.

CNE2L2(highly metastatic) and CNE2L4 (low metastatic) clones were isolated from human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cell line. LA1. LAD and LA5 clones were isolated from mouse pulmonary adenocarcinoma LA795 cell line with different metastatic potentials. The results from both cell lines showed that the metastatic potential of tumor cell positively correlated with elecirophoretic mobility rate. adhesion with endothelial cells and in vitro and in vivo invasiveness. and negatively correlated with self-adhesion and adhesion to fibroblast cells. The data further confirmed the relationship between these factors and the metastatic potential of tumor cells.The results provide a theoretical basis for elucidating the mechanism of metastasis.展开更多
