Since dinoflagellates are noted for having many prokaryotic features in that they are the only eukaryotes to have permanently condensed chromosomes as well as lacking histones and a nucleosome, the sensitivity to UVB radiation and the validity of PCNA as a maker of growth rate in dinoflagellate need to be evaluated. Prorocentrum donghaiense Lu was investigated to valuate the UVB sensitivity in relation to cellular and molecular aspects of PCNA as a growth indicator. The effects of UVB radiation on PCNA were studied using the methods of western blots technology and whole-cell immunoflurescence with one mono-antibody. UVB changed the cell morphology, halted the growth and increased the cell size, even caused cell death to a certain extent after treatment with UVB radiation in P. donghaiense. Compared with the control, treating the algal cultures in exponential phases with UVB radiation for 24 h caused chromatin release and increases in protein levels of PCNA.展开更多

Methods: The histotomic sections of 48 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease and 24 patients of normal chorionic villi were stained using immunohistochemistry. The monoclonal antibodies were used to determine p53 protein and PCNA. Results: The frequency of p53 and PCNA positive expression were significantly different among the chorionic villi of normal pregnancy, hydratidiform mole (HM) and MGTD. But neither p53 nor PCNA has any relation with the clinical staging or metastasis of MGTD. Conclusion: Both P53 and PCNA are valuable in diagnosis of human gestational trophoblastic disease.展开更多

Three types of PCNA distribution pattern were identified. 73. 9% normal mucosa was type A pattern. Type C pattern was characteristic of adenocarcinoma, and adenoma was of type B or C pattern. Labeling index (LI) of PCNA was an important parameter to evaluate the proliferation activity. In normal mucosa, LI of PCNA was 0. 34±0. 10, while in malignant lesions, it was 0. 71±0. 09. Furthermore, the LI had a tendency to elevate with the degree of atypia in adenoma from 0. 52±0. 10 in mild atypia to 0. 68±0. 07 in severe atypia. The pattern of AgNOR counting changes, which were 1. 97±0. 36 and 4. 16±1. 24 in the normal mucosa and malignant mucosa respectively, was found to be similar to Ll changes of the PCNA in different lesions of the same section. A good correlation was found between the mean number of AgNOR per nucleus and the LI of PCNA in 23 adenocarcinomas (r=0. 59, P <0. 05). These results suggested that proliferation kinetics could be comprehensively evaluated by combining immunohistological staining for PCNA and a simple silver staining for NOR, which would be advantageous for the diagnosis of colorectal lesions and for evaluating the degree of histopathological atypia of adenomas.展开更多

Methods These protelns were examlned by lmmunohistochemistry. Results overexpressions of Ps, and PCNA were revealed in ACC samples, they were higher than those in (polymorphous adenomas) PA, but expression of Bc1-2 protein was not different between ACC and PA. In 3 subtypes of ACC, expressions of 3 proteins were different. Conciusion Mutations of P53, Bc1-2 may be involed in the occurrence of SACC, expression of PCNA and mutation of P53 may coexist in the development of the SACC.展开更多
