In contrast, no expression of survivin in normal cervical tissues was observed. Overexpression of survivin was related to the tumor grade and clinical stage. Survivin positive cases were strongly associated with Bcl 2 expression(80% versus 35.7%; P <0.005).Conclusion Apoptosis inhibition by survivin abnormal expression, alone or in cooperation with Bcl 2, may participate in the onset and progression of cervical carcinoma. Survivin is a new diagnostic/therapeutic target in cervical cancer.展开更多

The objective of this study is to isolate and identify the proteins binding to the 37 mbr in the 3 ＇ -end of the mbr. Methods： Streptavidin magnetic particles were ligated to concatameric oligonucleotides of 37 mbr and incubated with the nuclear extracts of Jurkat cells. The DNA-binding proteins were eluted and then resolved by SDS-PAGE. After silver staining, the protein bands were excised and subjected to MALDI-TOF MS. Results： Several protein bands were detected after the isolation with magnetic particles, and Splicing factor, proline- and glutamine-rich（SFPQ）, Poly（ADP-ribose） polymerase I（PARP）, and promyelocytic leukemia protein（PML） were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Conclusion： Several proteins were isolated and identified from the 37 mbr-protein complex. Results of this study establish a foundation for further study of the mechanisms by which mbr executes its regulatory function.展开更多
