Methods: Forty human lung cancer tissues and 19 non-cancer pulmonary tissues were studied for their nm23-H1 and nm23-H2 mRNA expression with non-radioactive Northern blot hybridization. The correlation of nm23 mRNA expression with clinical features of lung cancer was analyzed. Results: The mRNA expression of nm23-H2 gene in poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma was significantly decreased compared to that in moderate-high differentiated squamousd cell carcinoma. The mRNA expression of nm23-H1 and nm23-H2 gene in small cell lung cancer was significantly decreased compared to that in squamous cell carcinoma. No significant difference in nm23 mRNA expression was observed between lung cancer with and without lymph node metastasis, nor was there significant difference between tumor stage. Conclusion: The mRNA expression of nm23 gene is correlated with the degree of differentiation of lung cancer, but there is no evidence of metastasis suppression effect by nm23 gene.展开更多

The expression of nm23H1 has been reported to be inversely associated with metastatic potentiality in a number of human carcinomas, including breast, colorectal, gastric, hepatocellular and gallbladder carcinomas. In this study, the immunohistochemical staining of nm23H1 protein in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) was examined, and the relationship between nm23H1 and both metastasis and prognosis of patients with NPC was also investigated. Methods: Routine LSAB immunohistochemistry with the nm23H1 monoclonal murine antibody was employed to study the expression of nm23H1 protein in 95 paraffinembedded specimens of NPC treated at our hospital. The clinical pathologic data and results of followup were also retrieved. Comparisons between patients with and without expression of nm23H1 protein with respect to metastasis, locoregional recurrence and survival were performed using Log rank test. Multivariate prognostic analyses were performed by using Cox's regression model. Results: Nm23H1 negative expressive tumors were associated with a higher incidence of lymphnode metastasis (86.7%) than those of nm23H1 positive (48.6%, P<0.01). Nm23H1 negative expressive tumors were associated with a high incidence of recurrence and distant metastasis after radiotherapy (P<0.05). A significant association was found between expression of nm23H1 and prognosis (P<0.01). The expression of nm23H1 indicated favorable prognosis. Conclusion: It was suggested that nm23 H1 negative expression was significantly associated with lymphnode metastasis, recurrence and distant metastasis. Nm23H1 may have value for predicting the prognosis of NPC.展开更多

Amino acid identity between nm23-H1 and nm23-H2 was 88%.In this study,using a pair of primers to flank the part of coding sequence of nm 23,the 5'-translated sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from human normal liver genomic DNA.A 375-base pairs clone was charactertzed,which designated pnm23-H3b.The nm23-H3b nucleotide sequence between 40 bp and 70 bp is different from nm23-H1 and nm23-H2,and other sequences have 86%and 90%identical to nm23-H1 and nm23-H2,respectively.Southern blot containing BglⅡ-digested human liver genomic DNA hybridized to the entire nm23-H3b DNA and showed three bands at 10.5,7.9 and 4.0 Kb.These data demonstrate that the third human nm23 exists possibly.Therefore,nm23 may be considered a family of closely related genes.展开更多

Methods: Thirty Chinese patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 34 withCaP (adenocarcinoma clinical stage C and D) were analyzed by means of immunohistochemical methods. Results:The KAII/CD82 expression in BPH tissue was all positive, which was uniformly located on the glandular cell mem-brane at the cell-to-cell borders, but KAII/CD82 expression in metastasis CaP tissues was either significantly lower thanthat of BPH or negative, and the immunostaining pattern was not continuous. In late-stage CAP KAII/CD82 expressionwas correlated inversely to the pathological grade ( P < 0.05), but not to clinical stage ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The authors believe that decreased and negative KAII/CD82 expression in late-stage CaP may be related to tumor pro-gression and metastasis, and appears to be a prognostic marker.展开更多
