METHODS By in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, the perforin and fas L gene expression of TILs was studied in 20 HCC cases. RESULTS Positive expression of perforin and fas L genes was detected in 16 HCC cases. One patient had expression of perforin and fas L genes in the majority of TILs and survived 1 5 years after tumor resection without HCC relapse. This seems that the presence of a large number of activated T cells might be beneficial for the antitumor immunity. In other cases, less than 10% of TILs were able to express perforin and fas L genes. CONCLUSION Although there were a number of T cells in HCC, only few of them were immunoactive and able to kill tumor cells. It seems important to promote further proliferation of these activated T cells in vitro or in vivo .展开更多

Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin and embedded tissues of primary gastric cancer and adjacent non-tumor mucosa from 113 cases were evaluated for MMP-7, FasL and Capase-3 expression by streptavidin-peroxidase (S-P) immunohistochemistry. The expression of the first two proteins in cancer cells of primary foci was compared with clinicopathological parameters of tumors. We also observed the correlation of MMP-7 and FasL expression with Caspase-3 expression in cancer cells of primary foci. Results: MMP-7 positive immunostaining was less frequently detected in adjacent epithelial cells than in cancer cells of primary foci of gastric cancer (P<0.05, 29.2% vs 69.0%), and so was FasL (P<0.05, 34.5% vs 54.0%). MMP-7 expression was associated with tumor size, Borrmann抯 classification, invasive depth, metastasis and TNM staging (P<0.05), but not with growth pattern, Lauren抯 classification, or histological classification (P>0.05). FasL expression was correlated with tumor size, invasive depth, metastasis, Lauren抯 classification, histological classification (P<0.05), while not with Borrmann抯 classification, TNM staging or growth pattern (P>0.05). Cancer cells of primary foci expressed less Caspase-3 than their adjacent epithelial cells (P<0.05, 32.7% vs 50.4%). There was an obvious correlation between FasL, MMP-7 and Caspase-3 expression in cancer cells of primary foci (P<0.05). Co-expression of MMP-7 and FasL paralleled with Caspase-3 expression in cancer cells of primary foci (P<0.05). Conclusion: MMP-7 and FasL expression was up-regulated in gastric carcinogenesis and was principally involved in progression of gastric cancer. FasL expression could reflect the differentiation of gastric cancer cells and underlie the molecular mechanisms of different pathways of gastric tumorigenesis. Co-expression of MMP-7 and FasL could have apoptosis-inducing effect on gastric cancer cells.展开更多
