Methods: Immunohistochemical method were used to detected Stat3, p53 and PCNA in different tissues of patients (n = 42) with lung carcinoma who accepted neither radiotherapy nor chemotherapy. Results: The positive rate of StatS was 81. 0% in lung carcinoma and its expression level was related to the tissue type but not to T, N or the clinical stage. The expression level of Stat3 in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) was higher than that in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). A positive correlation of the expression of Stat3 with that of p53 and PCNA was identified. Conclusion:The expression level of Stat3 is abnormal in lung carcinoma. Stat3 may be involved in the regulation of p53 gene in lung carcinoma cell, it may accelerate the proliferation of lung carcinoma cells and play an important role in the pathogenesis of lung carcinoma.展开更多

This study aimed to determine whether this dichotomy was common in other potential lung tumor antigens by examining the same patient samples using our more extensive profile analysis of tumor-antigen precursor protein （TAPP）. We then tested the hypothesis that therapeutic intervention may inadvertently cause this increased gBK production. Methods： SCLC samples （eight surgical resections and three autopsy samples） and three control lungs were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction for 42 potential TAPPs that represent potential T-cell-mediated immunological targets. Results： Twenty-two TAPP mRNAs displayed the same profile as gBK, i.e., more mRNAs were expressed at autopsy than in their surgical counterparts. B-cyclin and mouse double minute 2, human homolog of PS3-binding protein were elevated in both autopsy and surgical specimens above the normal-lung controls. When HTB119 cells were incubated with doxorubicin, gBK was strongly induced, as confirmed by intracellular flow cytometry with a gBK-specific antibody. Conclusion： Our findings suggested that more immunological targets became available as the tumor responded to chemotherapy and proceeded toward its terminal stages.展开更多
