The nuclear matrir and chromosome scaffold were obtained after the DNA and most of the proteins were extracted with DNase I and 2 M NaCl. SDS-PAGE analyses revealed that the nuclear matrir and chromosome scaffold contained a 37 kD polypeptide which is equivalent to tropomyosin in molecular weight. Immunofluorescence observations upon slide preparations labeled with anti-tropomyosin antibody showed that the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold emanated bright fluorescence, suggesting the presence of the antigen in them.Immunodotting results confirmed the presence of tropomyosin in the nuclear matrix and chromosome scaffold. Immunoelectron microscopic obserwtions further demonstrated that tropomyosin was dispersively distributed in the interphase nuclei and metaphase chromosomes.展开更多

METHODS: The expression of HLA class Ⅰ antigen was detected by immunohistochemistry in 185 specimens of gastric cancer, 20 gastric cancer specimens with lymphatic metastasis and 22 controls of normal gastric mucosa using four monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS: The expression of HLA class Ⅰ antigen (B/C locus) was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer and in lymphatic metastasis than that in normal gastric mucosa (x2=7.712, P<0.05). The expression of other HLA class Ⅰ antigens was also downregulated, but the change was slight. There was no relationship between the downregulation of HLA class Ⅰ antigen and that of β2m and LMP2. The expression of HLA class Ⅰ (B/C locus) was statistically correlated with pathologic stage in gastric adenocarcinoma (x2=4.164,P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of HLA class Ⅰ antigen (B/C locus) was obviously downregulated in gastric cancer and in lymphatic metastasis. This abnormal expression would provide the tumor cells with a way to avoid immunological recognition.展开更多

Statistically significant increased ratio of the nucleus and the cytoplasm height and the nucleolus and the nucleus height is characteristically for cancer cells compared to normal cells. AFM method allows determining the viral changes in squamous cells by detecting the perinuclear area of enlightenment. AFM allows objectifying immunocytochemistry data by quantifying the height of immune complexes. Possibilities of quantitative immunocytochemistry with AFM are shown in the model of Her2/neu oncoprotein expression in breast cancer and thyroglobulin in papillary thyroid cancer.展开更多

A 72-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital presenting with a 3-mo history of epigastric pain, vomiting and weight loss. On computed tomography （CT） a wall thickening of the fourth part of the duodenum was observed. Multiple biopsies obtained from the lesion showed infiltration of plasma cells and lymphocytes, but they were not conclusive. The patient underwent resection of the lesion and, on histopathological examination, the lesion consisted of a dense and diffuse infiltrate of plasma cells and a few admixed lymphocytes with reactive follicles extending to the muscular propria. An extensive deposition of amyloid was also observed. Immunohistochemical stains revealed that a few plasmacytoid cells showed λ light chain staining, though most were κ： light chain positive. These cells also were positive for CD138 and CD56 but negative for CD20 and CD79. The findings were consistent with extramedullary plasmocytoma associated with a massive deposit of amyloid in duodenum. A subsequent workup for multiple myeloma was completely negative. The patient showed no signs of local recurrence or dissemination of the disease after 12 mo follow-up. Because of the association of plasmocytoma and amyloidosis, the patient must be followed up because of the possible systemic involvement of the neoplasm and amyloidosis in future.展开更多

Methods Original fibroblasts from human hypertrophic scar and human normal dermis were cultured, and immunocytochemistry was applied to detect localization of expres- sion of FAK and integrin α1 in hypertrophic scar and human normal skin fibroblasts. The expression of integrin α1 was detected before and after FAK antibody blocking hypertrophic scar fibroblasts （HSFB） 48 h later. Meanwhile the collagen synthesis was evaluated by [^3 H]-proline incorporation and HSFB cell proliferation was measured by MTT method. Results The expression of FAK and integrin aI of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts was higher than that of the normal skin fibroblasts significantly （ P 〈 0.01 ）. The expression of integrin α1 was reduced after FAK being blocked （ P 〈 0.01 ）. Meanwhile the collagen synthesis of human scar-derived fibroblasts by [^3H] -proline incor- poration was depressed respectively （ P 〈 0. 01 ）. The cell proliferation was inhibited by using 1：100 and 1：200 FAK antibody with MTI＂ method （ P 〈 0. 01 ）. Conclusion FAK is the key point of signal transmission pathway mediated by integrin α1 , which regulates protein synthesis of integrin α1 , it may play an important role in the proliferation and constriction of hypertrophic scar. FAK antibody can inhibit the collagen synthesis and cell proliferation of hypertrophic scar fibroblasts.展开更多
