Methods: Supernatants of four groups of cultured cells, namely, SKOV3 (A), SKOV3+HLEC (B), SKOV3-PM4 (C), SKOV3-PM4+HLEC (D), were collected, and their proteins were detected by antibody arrays and iTRAOcZD-LC-MALDI- TOF/TOF/MS. Significantly differential proteins were further analyzed via bioinformatics and validated in human serums and cell media via ELISA. Results: Results of antibody arrays and mass spectrometry demonstrated that GRN and VEGFA were upregulated in group C (compared with group A), whereas IGFBP7 and SPARC were downregulated in group D (compared with group C). Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis results showed that IGFBP7 and VEGFA were closely linked to each other. Further validation with serums showed statistical significance in VEGFA and IGFBP7 levels among groups of patients with ovarian cancers, benign tumors, and control groups. Two proteins were upegulated in the first group. VEGFA in the control group was downregulated. For IGFBP, upregulation in the control group and down-regulation in the first group were also observed. Conclusion: The HLEC microenvironment is closely associated with directional metastasis to lymph nodes and with differential proteins including cell stromal proteins and adhesion factors. The upregulation of VEGFA and GRN and the downregulation of SPARC and IGFBP7 are closely associated with directional metastasis to lymph nodes in EOC cells.展开更多

Twenty-eight patients had well-differentiated, 22 had moderately differentiated and 30 had poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Forty-five patients and 35 patients had lymph node metastasis. Forty-five patients were of Dukes A to B stage, and 35 were of C to D stage. Another 22 paraffi n-embedded tissue blocks of normal colorectal epithelium (>5 cm away from the edge of the tumor) were selected as the control group. All patients with colorectal cancer were treated surgically and diagnosed histologically, without preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the ezrin expression in paraffin-embedded normal colorectal mucosa tissues and colorectal cancer tissue samples.RESULTS: Ezrin expression in colorectal cancer was significantly higher than in normal colorectal mucosa (75.00% vs 9.09%, P<0.01), and there was a close relationship between ezrin expression and the degree of tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis and Dukes stage (88.46% vs 50.00%, P<0.01; 94.28% vs 51.11%, P<0.01; 94.28% vs 51.11%, P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Ezrin expression is obviously higher in colorectal cancer tissues than in normal colorectal mucosa tissues, and the high level of ezrin expression is closely related to the colorectal cancer invasion and metastasis process.展开更多

METHODS A total of 485 patients who underwent surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer (pT3N0-2M0) and had a DFS at least 6 months were enrolled in this retrospective study. The medical records of the patients were reviewed in detail, and the characteristics of the patients and the findings of pathologic examination were analyzed in order to find the potential association with DFS. Subgroup analysis according to pathologic stage was performed. Multivariate analysis using the COX regression method was also conducted in order to identify the independent prognostic factors. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot DFS curves. The DFS rate was compared in each subgroup. RESULTS COX regression analysis showed that the DFS rate of gastric cancer patients with pathologic stage T3N0-2M0 was significantly associated with age, degree of tumor differentiation, tumor location as well as the number of negative lymph nodes. Among patients with stage T3NOM0 disease, who had 1-4 and 5 or more negative lymph nodes, the 2-year DFS rate was 8.3% and 55.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, the 3-year DFS rates of the same group of patients was 0% and 24.9%, respectively (P = 0.025). In the T3NIM0 subgroup, the 2-year DFS rate of patients with 3 or fewer, 4-9, and 10 or more negative lymph nodes was 17.3%, 39.1%, 52.6%, respectively. The 3-year DFS rate in this group was 4.2%, 6.0%, 17.1%, respectively (P 〈 0.001). In the T3N2M0 subgroup, the 2-year DFS rate of patients with 7 or fewer and 8 or more negative lymph nodes was 11.5% and 35%, respectively. The 3-year DFS rate of the same group of patients with 8 or more negative lymph nodes was also 5%, respectively; P = 0.015). significantly improved (0.8% vs. CONCLUSION For gastric cancer patients with pathologic stage T3N0-2M0, the number of negative lymph nodes is an independent prognostic factor for DFS. The number of negative lymph nodes may reflect the level of regional lymph node dissection or the accuracy of the pathologic staging.展开更多
