Histological and immunocytochemical study of deferens ducts in the Chinese rat snake (Zaocys dhumnades)

To investigate the relationship between structure and function of the deferens ducts in the Chinese rat snake （Zaocys dhumnades）, morphological changes within an annual cycle were observed by routine histological techniques. Also, the correlation of androgen receptor （AR）, estrogen receptor （ER）, progesterone receptor （PR） and aromatase （Ar） expressions in the vas deferens and testis were studied immunohistochemically. To confh＇m that the sperm and the spherical structure existed in deferens ducts, we also used routine histological technique observed deferens ducts in the Striped-tailed rat-snake （Elaphe taeniura）, Red-banded snake （Dinodon rufozonatum）, and Tiger-spotted neck- troughed snake （Rhabdophis tigrina lateralis）. The results showed that the deferens ducts of the Chinese Rat Snake were composed of efferent duct, epididymal duct and vas deferens. Efferent duct contained sperm from August-October, and the sperm were observed in the epididymal duct from August-the following January. Throughout the year （except July） a large number of sperm were present in the vas deferens where a previously unreported spherical structure formed by spermatids was observed, which showed no significant differences in the IOD values of AR-, ER-, PR- and Ar- immunoreactivities. Since the spermatids in the spherical structure were undergoing spermatogenesis and this phenomenon also existed in the Striped-tailed rat-snake and Red-banded snake, the term, seminiferous spherule, was named for this spherical structure This study demonstrated that the testis was the main site for snake spermiogenesis, and the seminiferous spherule in vas deferens was the other Both the epididymis and vas deferens stored sperm; however, the vas deferens was the main organ for sperm storage.

Prognostic significance of S100A4 and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in pancreatic cancer

AIM: To investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and calcium-binding protein S100A4 in pancreatic cancer and their relationship to the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Expression status of VEGF and S100A4 was examined in 62 surgical specimens of primary pancreatic cancer by immunohistochemistry. Correlation between the expression of VEGF and S100A4 and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. RESULTS: Thirty-eight of 62 (61.3%) specimens of primary pancreatic cancer were positive for S100A4. Thirty-seven (59.7%) specimens showed positive expression of VEGF. The positive correlation between S100A4 and VEGF expression was significant in cancer tissues (P < 0.001). S100A4 expression was significantly correlated with tumor size, TNM stage and poorer prognosis. VEGF expression had a significant correlation with poorer prognosis. The prognosis of 17 S100A4-and VEGF-negative cancer patients was significantly better than that of other patients (P < 0.05). Distant metastasis (P = 0.001), S100A4-(P = 0.008) and VEGF-positive expression (P = 0.016) were significantly independent prognostic predictors (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Over-expression of S100A4 and VEGF plays an important role in the development of pancreatic cancer. Combined examination of the two molecules might be useful in evaluating the outcome of patients with pancreatic cancer.

A fusion protein containing murine vascular endothelial growth factor and tissue factor induces thrombogenesis and suppression of tumor growth in a colon carcinoma model

Induction of tumor vasculature occlusion by targeting a thrombogen to newly formed blood vessels in tumor tissues represents an intriguing approach to the eradication of primary solid tumors. In the current study, we construct and express a fusion protein containing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and tissue factor (TF) to explore whether this fusion protein has the capability of inhibiting tumor growth in a colon carcinoma model. The murine cDNA of VEGF A and TF were amplified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and then cloned into prokaryotic expression plasmid pQE30 with a linker. The expression product recombinant VEGF-TF (rVEGF-TF) was purified and proved to have comparable enzyme activity to a commercial TF and the capability of specific binding to tumor vessels. Significant decrease of tumor growth was found in the mice administered with rVEGF-TF on Day 6 after initiated rVEGF-TF treatment (P<0.05), and the tumor masses in 2 of 10 mice were almost disappeared on Day 14 after the first treatment. In addition, valid thrombogenesis and tumor necrosis were observed in the tumor tissues injected with rVEGF-TF. Our results demonstrate that occlusion of tumor vasculature with rVEGF-TF is potentially an effective approach for cancer therapy.

Angiogenic markers endoglin and vascular endothelial growth factor in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

AIM:To investigate the expression and potential prognostic role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and endoglin in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(GEP-NETs) . METHODS:Microvessel density(MVD) in GEP-NETs was evaluated using endoglin and CD31 immunohistochemistry.In addition,tissue levels of endoglin and VEGF were determined in homogenates by ELISA. RESULTS:Endoglin was highly expressed on tumor endothelial cells.CD31 MVD in GEP-NETs was significantly higher compared to endoglin MVD(P<0.01) .Two-tofour-fold higher tissue levels of endoglin and VEGF were seen in tumors compared to associated normal tissue. This increased endoglin tissue expression in tumors was significantly related to tumor size(P<0.01) ,presence of metastases(P=0.04) ,and a more advanced tumor stage(P=0.02) ,whereas expression of VEGF was not. CONCLUSION:We suggest that endoglin is a potential marker to indicate and predict metastases,which might be useful in the post-resection therapeutic approach of patients with GEP-NETs.

Evaluate the Expression of uPA,PAI-1 in Human Gastric Cancer and its Correlation with the Angiogenesis by the Application of Tissue Microarray

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of urokinase-type plasminogen （uPA）, its inhibitor-1 （PAI-1） mRNA and its protein in human gastric cancer and to find out the relationship among the tumor differentiation, angiogenesis, and other clinical pathologic factors. METHODS In situ hybridization （ISH） was used to get the uPA, PAI-lmRNA in 110 cases with human gastric cancer in 2-tissue microarray （TMA）. Immunohistochemical staining （S-P method） for uPA, PAI-1 protein and CD34 were performed in the 110 cases in 2 TMA. RESULTS The expression of the uPA, PAI-lmRNA and their protein happened in the cytoplasm of gastric cancer cells were induced by the poor differentiation of the GC, and the expression of uPA had an increasing trend while the expression of the PAI-1 had a decreasing trend. The microvessel density （MVD） had a positive correlation with the clinical stages and the significant relationship with the lymph node metastasis （P 〈 0.05）. The MVD in uPA positive group was significantly higher than those in uPA negative group （P 〈 0.05）. The expression of PAI-1 has no correlation neither with the clinical stages nor the lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION The uPA play an important role in invasion and metastasis of GC through promoting angiogenesis. Interdicting the secretion and function of the uPA may allow the target therapy against the tumor invasion. As a new high-throughput technology, the tissue microarray is a valuable way to be used in clinical treatment.

Inhibition effect of small interfering RNA of connective tissue growth factor on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and connective tissue growth factor in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells

Background The peritoneum response to peritoneal dialysis can lead to fibrosis. The transforming growth factor β1 （TGF-β1 ） plays a key role in regulating tissue repair and remodelling after injury. Connective tissue growth factor （CTGF）, a downstream mediator of TGF-β1 inducing fibrosis, has been implicated in peritoneal fibrosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） plays a key role in angiogenesis that can hasten peritoneal fibrosis. In this study, we investigated the effect of small interfering RNA （siRNA） of CTGF by pRETRO-SUPER （PRS） retrovirus vector on the expression of CTGF and VEGF in human peritoneal mesothelial cells. Methods Retrovirus producing CTGF siRNA were constructed from the inverted oligonucleotides and transferred into packaging cell line PT67 with lipofectamine, and the virus supernatant was used to infect human peritoneal mesothelial cell （HPMC）. The cells were divided into seven groups： low glucose DMEM, low glucose DMEM ＋ TGF-β1 5 ng/ml, low glucose DMEM ＋ TGF-β1 5 ng/ml ＋ PRS-CTGF-siRNA1-4 and low glucose DMEM ＋ TGF-β1 5 ng/ml ＋ PRS. The expression of CTGF and VEGF were measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Low levels of CTGF and VEGF were detected in confluent HPMCs. Following stimulation with TGF-β1 , the levels of CTGF and VEGF were significantly upregulated （P〈0.01）. Introduction of PRS-CTGF-siRNA1-4 resulted in the significant reduction of CTGF mRNA and protein, and VEGF mRNA （P〈0.01）, especially in groups PRS-CTGF-siRNA, and PRS-CTGF-siRNA4. The introduction of PRS void vector did not have these effects （P〉0.05）. Conclusions The expression of CTGF siRNA mediated by PRS retrovirus vector can effectively reduce the level of CTGF and VEGF induced by TGF-β1 in cultured HPMCs. This study may provide potential therapeutic strategies to prevent the peritoneal fibrosis.
