METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect LRP16 expression in 336 cases of paraffin-embedded gastric carcinoma tissues and 60 cases of distal normal mucosa. The relationships between LRP16 expression and patients' age, tumor size, histological grade, clinical stage, metastatic status and prognosis were analysed. RESULTS: The expression of LRP16 was 58.6% (197/336) in gastric carcinoma and 31.7% (19/60) in distal normal gastric mucosa. The expression of LRP16 in carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa tissues (x^2 = 14.929, P = 0.001). LRP16 protein expression was found in 44.1% (63/143) carcinomas at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and 69.4% (134/193) carcinomas at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ (Z2 = 21.804, P = 0.001), and in 56.9% (182/320) of cancers without metastasis but 93.8% (15/16) of those with metastasis (2 = 8.543, P = 0.003). The expression of LRP16 was correlated with tumor size, infiltrative depth, clinical stage, lymphatic invasion and distant metastasis (all P 〈 0.05). Follow-up data showed that there was a significant difference in median survival time between cancer patients with expression of LRP16 (27.0 mo) and those without (48.0 mo, Log rank =31.644, P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The expression of LRP16 may be associated with invasion, metastasis and prognosis of gastric cancer.展开更多

METHODS: Forty-one gallbladder carcinoma, 7 gallbladder adenoma and 14 chronic cholecystitis specimens were immunohistochemically and histopathologically investigated for the relation of cyclin D1, p16 and Rb with Nevin staging and pathologic grading. RESULTS: The expression rates of abnormal cyclin Dl in gallbladder carcinoma (68.3%)and gallbladder adenoma (57.1%) were significantly higher than those in chronic cholecystitis (7.1%) (P<0.05). No significant difference was found both among the pathological grades G1, G2 and G3 and among Nevin stagings S1-S2, S3 and S4-S5 of gallbladder carcinoma. The positive rates of p16 (48.8%) and Rb (58.5%) in gallbladder carcinoma were significantly lower compared to those in adenoma (100.0%) and cholecystitis (100.0%) (P<0.05). The positive rates of p16 and Rb in Nevin stagings S1-S2 (80.0% and 90.0%) and S3 (46.2% and 61.5%) gallbladder carcinomas were significantly higher than those in S4-S5(33.3% and 38.8%) (P<0.05), and those in pathologic grades G1(54.5% and 81.8%) and G2 (50.0% and 62.5%) gallbladder carcinoma were significantly higher than those in G3 (28.6% and 35.7%) (P<0.05). The protein expression of p16 and Rb had a negative-correlation in gallbladder carcinoma (r= -0.2993, P<0.05), and this negative-correlation was correlated with Nevin staging (P<0.05). Moreover, the protein expression of p16 and cyclin Dl had a negative-correlation in gallbladder carcinoma (r = -0.9417, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Cyclin Dl may play a role in the early stage of gallbladder carcinoma. Mutation of p16 and Rb genes might be correlated with progression of gallbladder carcinoma. Analysis of p16 and Rb can estimate the prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma. Expression of p16 and Rb may be correlated with Nevin staging and pathologic grading in gallbladder carcinoma.展开更多

Methods: Expressions of p16 protein and FHIT protein were detected and analyzed in 17 cases of normal squamous epithelium, 16 cases of mild dysplasia, 16 cases of moderate dysplasia, 17 cases of severe dysplasia, 10 cases of carcinoma in situ, and 18 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by immunohistochemical method. Results: With increasing histopathologic grades, the expressions of pl6 and FHIT became gradually lower. There was no remarkable difference of p16 and FHIT expressions between the normal and mild dysplasia group (P〉0.05), but the differences between the normal and other groups were all significant (P〈0.05). There was no remarkable difference among the squamous cell carcinoma group, the moderate and severe dysplasia groups, and the carcinoma in situ group (P〉0.05), but significant differences existed in the expressions of p16 and FHIT proteins between the squamous cell carcinoma and the normal groups, and between the squamous cell carcinoma and the mild dysplasia groups (P〈0.05). There was an association of descending trend between p16 and FHIT protein expressions. Conclusion: Reduced expressions of pl6 and/or FHIT proteins possible play an important role in the early occurrence of esophageal cancer. There was a positive correlation between the expressions of p16 and FHIT proteins.展开更多

In this study, Epinephelus lanceolatus IFIT1(ELIFIT1) gene was cloned for the first time. The complete cDNA of El IFIT1 gene includes 2921 nucleotides, and encodes a 437-amino acid(AA) protein. The putative ELIFIT1 protein has 9 TRP domains and is highly similar with IFIT1 proteins in other teleosts. In healthy fish, ELIFIT1 gene was highly expressed in the blood, which indicate its specific function in the peripheral immune system. Its expression was also observed in various immunity-related tissues including spleen, intestine, and kidney, Inducted with spotted knifejaw iridovirus(SKIV), ELIFIT1 gene expression was upregulated in the spleen, kidney, and liver 24 h after induction and reached its peak at 72 h, indicating that ELIFIT1 may play an important role in antivirus. These findings contribute to the understanding of the antiviral regulation of ELIFIT1 gene in teleost.展开更多

文摘AIM: To investigate the role of cyclin D1, p16 and retinoblastoma in cancerous process of gallbladder carcinomas and to assess the relation between cyclin D1, p16, Rb and the biological characteristics of gallbladder carcinoma. METHODS: Forty-one gallbladder carcinoma, 7 gallbladder adenoma and 14 chronic cholecystitis specimens were immunohistochemically and histopathologically investigated for the relation of cyclin D1, p16 and Rb with Nevin staging and pathologic grading. RESULTS: The expression rates of abnormal cyclin Dl in gallbladder carcinoma (68.3%)and gallbladder adenoma (57.1%) were significantly higher than those in chronic cholecystitis (7.1%) (P<0.05). No significant difference was found both among the pathological grades G1, G2 and G3 and among Nevin stagings S1-S2, S3 and S4-S5 of gallbladder carcinoma. The positive rates of p16 (48.8%) and Rb (58.5%) in gallbladder carcinoma were significantly lower compared to those in adenoma (100.0%) and cholecystitis (100.0%) (P<0.05).

文摘Objective: To detect the changes of p16 and FHIT and investigate their relationship in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma development by measuring their expression levels in normal squamous epithelium tissue, mild, moderate, severe dysplasia lesions, carcinoma in situ and invasive squamous cell carcinomas. Methods: Expressions of p16 protein and FHIT protein were detected and analyzed in 17 cases of normal squamous epithelium, 16 cases of mild dysplasia, 16 cases of moderate dysplasia, 17 cases of severe dysplasia, 10 cases of carcinoma in situ, and 18 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by immunohistochemical method. Results: With increasing histopathologic grades, the expressions of pl6 and FHIT became gradually lower. There was no remarkable difference of p16 and FHIT expressions between the normal and mild dysplasia group (P〉0.05), but the differences between the normal and other groups were all significant (P〈0.05). There was no remarkable difference among the squamous cell carcinoma group, the moderate and severe dysplasia groups, and the carcinoma in situ group (P〉0.05), but significant differences existed in the expressions of p16 and FHIT proteins between the squamous cell carcinoma and the normal groups, and between the squamous cell carcinoma and the mild dysplasia groups (P〈0.05). There was an association of descending trend between p16 and FHIT protein expressions. Conclusion: Reduced expressions of pl6 and/or FHIT proteins possible play an important role in the early occurrence of esophageal cancer. There was a positive correlation between the expressions of p16 and FHIT proteins.

文摘Objective:To know whether the effect of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats(IFIT)1 polymorphism influences the susceptibility of cerebral malaria outcome.Methods:Case-control association study was performed among 314 Thai patients(110 with cerebral malaria and 204 with uncomplicated malaria)infected with Plasmodium falciparum.Genotyping for five tag-single nucleotide polymorphisms of IFIT1 was performed by endpoint genotyping.Results:Genotype frequencies of all tag-SNPs(single nucleotide polymorphisms)showed no association with malaria outcome.However,C allele of rs11203109 was associated with the protection from cerebral malaria(OR=0.62,95%CI=0.38-0.99,P=0.048).Two single nucleotide polymorphisms(rs5786868 and rs57941432)were in linkage disequilibrium with rs11203109.Conclusions:This suggests that our associated single nucleotide polymorphism(rs11203109)might be a genetic marker of cerebral malaria progression in the Thai population.
文摘Objective: To investigate p16, C-fos protein expression and their relationships in osteosarcoma. Methods: Immunohistochemical technique (SABC) was used to detect p16 and C-fos protein expression in 41 cases of osteosarcoma. Results: The positive rates of p16 and C-fos protein expression were 51.2% and 82.9% respectively. Their expression was not correlated to pathological subtype, but correlated to clinic grade, and the latter was associated with tumor metastasis. There was a negative correlation between p16 and C-fos protein expression. Conclusion: The alteration of p16 and C-fos protein expression may be related to the tumorigenesis and development of osteosarcoma, and C-fos proteins may take part in osteosarcoma metastasis. These data will offer useful helpness to determine the prognosis of osteosarcoma.
文摘Objective: To investigate the expression of p16, cyclin D1 and Rb protein in gastric carcinoma and premalignant lesions including dysplastic gastric mucosa and intestinal metaplasia gastric mucosa. Methods: Using SP immunohistochemical methods, the expression of pl6, cyclin D1 and Rb proteins was detected in 10 specimens of normal gastric mucosa, 15 specimens of dysplastic gastric mucosa, 15 specimens of intestinal metaplasia gastric mucosa, 30 specimens of gastric carcinoma.

Results: Expression of p16 protein was detected in 90% of normal gastric mucosa, 86.67% of dysplastic gastric mucosa, 86.67% of intestinal metaplasia gastric mucosa, 36.67% of gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of p16 protein expression in gastric carcinoma is significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosa and gastric premalignant lesions mucosa (P<0.01). Expression of cyclin D1 protein was detected in 10% of normal gastric mucosa, 20% of dysplastic gastric mucosa, 20% of intestinal metaplasia gastric mucosa, 53.33% of gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of cyclin D1, protein expression in gastric carcinoma is significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa and gastric premalignant lesions mucosa (P<0.05). Expression of Rb protein was detected in 90% of normal gastric mucosa, 80% of dysplastic gastric mucosa, 80% of intestinal metaplasia gastric mucosa, 50% of gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of Rb protein expression in gastric carcinoma is significantly lower than that in normal gastric mucosa (P<0.05). The expression of p16, cyclin D1 gene were associated with the degree of differentiation of gastric carcinoma, lymphnodes metastasis and distant metastasis. Conclusion: p16, Cyclin D1 and Rb gene play important role in gastric carcinoma genesis. The expression of p16, cyclin D1 and Rb gene have some value to the diagnosis at earlier stage of gastric cancer. Detection of expression of p16, cyclin D1 gene would be helpful to judge the prognosis of gastric cancer.

文摘Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1(IFIT1), also known as interferon-induced protein 56(IFI56) or Interferon-stimulated protein 56(ISG56), was originally identified as a protein induced upon treatment with interferon and inhibited by viral replication and translational initiation. In this study, Epinephelus lanceolatus IFIT1(ELIFIT1) gene was cloned for the first time. The complete cDNA of El IFIT1 gene includes 2921 nucleotides, and encodes a 437-amino acid(AA) protein. The putative ELIFIT1 protein has 9 TRP domains and is highly similar with IFIT1 proteins in other teleosts. In healthy fish, ELIFIT1 gene was highly expressed in the blood, which indicate its specific function in the peripheral immune system. Its expression was also observed in various immunity-related tissues including spleen, intestine, and kidney, Inducted with spotted knifejaw iridovirus(SKIV), ELIFIT1 gene expression was upregulated in the spleen, kidney, and liver 24 h after induction and reached its peak at 72 h, indicating that ELIFIT1 may play an important role in antivirus. These findings contribute to the understanding of the antiviral regulation of ELIFIT1 gene in teleost.

文摘Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value and prognostic value of HPV and P16 protein in patients with HSIL and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and assessment of the prognosis of patients with HSIL. Methods: The surgical treatment of HSIL patients from January 2013 to January 2015 in our hospital were selected. All patients were routinely tested for HPV and P16 protein, All patients were followed up for 1 year. Patients were divided into progressive group and quiescent group according to whether the disease progressed one year after surgery. Preoperative HPV and P16 protein levels were compared between the two groups. Using receiver operating curve (ROC curve) Analysis of HPV diagnostic value of HSIL. The levels of HPV and P16 protein in the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The quantitative level of high-risk HPV-DNA after LEEP was significantly lower than that before operation. The level of P16 protein in preoperative patients was higher than that before operation, and the difference was statistically significant. There were 21 patients in the postoperative progression group, and the average HPV-DNA content in the patients in the progression group was higher than that in the control group within one year after operation. The difference was statistically significant. The P16 protein level in patients in advanced group was significantly higher than that in resting group. Preoperative HPV-DNA levels and P16 protein levels in patients with progressive disease were significantly higher than those in still group. ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of 2.441, HPV-DNA prediction of HSIL patients one year after the recurrence of the sensitivity was 95.12%, the specificity was 76.16%, under the curve area of 0.878;7.4 cut-off value, P16 The predictive value of HSIL patients recurrence after 1 year was 71.95%, specificity was 66.67%, and the area under the curve was 0.753. The recurrence group HPV-DNA content and P16 protein level showed a significant positive correlation, with statistical significance. Conclusions: LEEP can reduce the postoperative levels of HPV and P16 protein in patients with HSIL. The HPV and P16 protein levels are of high value for the early diagnosis of HSIL and the prediction of postoperative disease progression.
