Methodology Medical records of 63 patients surgically treated for SACC between January 1988 and October 2005 were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the expression of NGF and VEGF in tumor tissues. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox's proportional hazard regression model were applied to assess predictors of survival. Results NGF and VEGF were overexpressed in SACC tissues, compared with those in normal salivary tissues (P〈0.05), and the staining intensity of these two factors was stronger in groups of solid subtype, advanced TNM stage, perineural invasion and recurrence. Patients with high- expression of NGF and VEGF, solid subtype, advanced stage, perineural invasion, recurrence and extended resection alone had worse survival rates (P〈0.05). Conclusion NGF and VEGF are expressed increasingly in the tissues of SACC cases with invasion and metastasis. NGF expression and VEGF expression are independent prognosis factors for survival.展开更多

Methods: Low metastatic and high metastatic cells of the adenoid cystic carcinoma, SACC-83 and SACC-LM, were cultured. Their subcellular fractions were extracted. The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor was detected with Western blot method, and the results of protein expression were quantitatively analyzed by FluorChem V2.0 software. Results: The results of Western blot analysis indicated that, EGFR expression on the membrane of SACC-83 cells was significantly higher than that of SACC-LM cells, but its expression in cytoplasm was significantly less in the former than the later (P〈0.01). In SACC-83 cell line, EGFR was over-expressed in membrane (P〈0.01), but in SACC-LM cell line, EGFR was over-expressed in cytoplasm (P〈0.01). Conclusion: The results suggest that the obtaining of metastasis ability is related to the high expression of EGFR protein in cytoplasm, so the molecular targeting therapy to EGFR may be an ideal treatment for the invasion and metastasis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma.展开更多

Protein was detected by immuno-precipitation and ERK activity by using ERK agent kit. p-ERK1/2 and down-stream cyclin D1, p21^waf/cip1 expression were detected by Western blotting and the interfering role of mitogen protein-activated kinase (MEK) suppressor U0126 in the afore-mentioned indicators was examined. MTT demonstrated ACC-2 cell proliferation was substantially enhanced by bFGF, immuo-precipitation displayed ERK activity was up-regulated by bFGF, and immuno-imprinting also showed p-ERK1/2, cyclin D1 expression was greatly enhanced and p21^waf/cip1 expression was inhibited by bFGE U0126 suppressed the effect of bFGF. It is concluded that bFGF can promote the proliferation of human adenoid cystic carcinoma ACC-2 cells, and its pathways are associated with the up-regulated activity and expression of p-ERK1/2, inhibited p21waf/cip1 expression and enhanced cyclin D1 expression.展开更多
