Expression and significance of HIF-1α and ET-1 in gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Objective To explore the expression and the value of HIF-1α,and ET-1 in judging the prognosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Methods The expression of HIF-1α, and ET-1 protein was examined in 76 GISTs by immunohistochemistry S -P methods. Results There was a positive correlation between the expression of HIF-1 α and ET-1 ( P < 0.05 ). The positive expression rate of HIF-1 α and ET-1 was 73.68% (50/76) ,and 65.79% (50/76) respectively,which was related with histologicial grade, tumor diameter, infiltration and metastasis, nuclear division rating of GISTs ( P < 0.05 ), but had no relationship with patients' age, gender, initial position of the tumor ( P > 0.05 ). There was statistically sig-nificant difference in the expression of HIF-1 α and ET-1 in the following groups:among the three classes of very low-risk and low-risk, middle-risk, high-risk, bewteen the diameter < 2 cm and > 5 cm (P < 0.05). The more malignant degree and larger diameter, the more highly positive expression rate ( P < 0.05 ). The positive expression in the groups with infiltration and metastasis, and nuclear division ≥5/50 HP was sig-nificantly higher than the groups without infiltration and metastasis, and nuclear division < 5/50 HP (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression of HIF-1α had a significant correlation with ET-1. HIF-1α,and ET-1 expression was closely related with the prognosis of GISTs,and can serve as important predictors for survival.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp protein in pancreatic carcinoma and determine their clinicopathological significance and the correlation between the expression of HIF-1α, P-gp and the clinical prognosis. Method In samples from 74 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and 10 healthy individuals, the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp were detected by immunohistochemical method. Results The positive expression rate of HIF-1α and P-gp was 75.7% and 86.5%,respectively, which were remarkably higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue (P＜0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expression of HIF-1α and that of P-gp. The aberrant expression of HIF-1α and P-gp was associated with lymph node metastasis but not the location, size, clinical stages and nerve invasion of the tumor. Patients with high intensity of HIF-1α and P-gp expression showed a significantly lower median survival time than those with low intensity expression.Conclusions The expression of HIF-1α and P-gp is up-regulated in pancreatic carcinoma and there is a positive correlation between them. The expression of HIF-1α and P-gp might be related to the lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.     

Association of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression with microlymphatic vessel density and lymph node micrometastasis in rectal cancer

Objective To explore the association of the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) with microlymphatic vessel density (MLVD) and lymph node micro-metastasis in rectal cancer.Methods The experimental group consisted of 40 middle-low rectal cancer specimens pathologically confirmed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between 2000 and 2003.Forty samples of normal tissues taken from the corresponding area around the cancer were used as the control group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect HIF-1α expression and MLVD in both the tumor tissues and the adjacent normal tissues. Lymph node micrometastasis was ascertained using immunohistochemical staining with CK20. Results In rectal cancer tissues, the HIF-lα expression was 77 386±14 911 and MLVD was 7.3±0.7, significantly higher than those in normal adjacent tissues(33 092±5877 and 0.3±0.2, both P＜0.01). The HIF-1α expression was positively correlated with MLVD in rectal cancer (r=0.781, P＜0.01). Thirty-one patients had no lymph nodes metastasis and 10 had micrometastasis. The HIF-1α expression and MLVD in specimens with lymph node micrometastasis was significantly higher than that in those without lymph node micrometastasis(P＜0.05). Conclusion HIF-1α and MLVD play important roles in the development of rectal cancer, which may promote lymphatic micrometastasis in rectal cancer.     

Effects of α1-adrenergic receptor on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells

Objective To investigate the correlation between α1-adrenergic receptor and the pathological behavior of cholangiocarcinoma, and the effects of norepinephrine (NE) on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939. Methods Thirty-six samples of cholangiocarcinoma were resected in Southwest Hospital from August 2002 to March 2008. The expression of α1-adrenergic receptor in the 36 samples of cholangiocarcinoma tissue and 4 samples of normal bile duct tissue were detected by SABC technique. The proliferation of cholangio-carcinoma cell line QBC939 was detected after processing the cells with NE, phentolamine and prazosin. All the data were analyzed by chi-square test. Results The high positive expression rate of α1-adrenergic receptor was 68% (17/25) in patients with lymph node metastasis, which was significantly higher than 9% (1/11) in patients without lymph node metastasis (χ2=10.604, P<0.05). The high positive expression rate of α1-adrenergic receptor was 85% (11/13) in patients with middle and low positioned cholangiocarcinoma, which was significantly higher than 30% (7/23) in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (χ2=9.753, P<0.05). NE promoted the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cell line QBC939 by stimulating the expression of α1-adrenergic receptor, and in a concentration-dependent manner. The proliferative effect was weakened as time passed by, and it was eliminated by phentolamine and prazosin. Conclusions The expression of α1-adrenergic receptor is diverse due to lymph node metastasis and the location of the tumor, α1-adrenergic receptor with high expression may play an important role in the proliferation and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma.     

Effects of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy on the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule β1 and integrin 1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells and its significance

Objective To investigate the changes of the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells during laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy (LARG) and to explore the possible effects of LARG on the peritoneal metastasis. Methods From April to August 2008, LARG was performed for 26 patients with gastric cancer (laparoscopy group), while 20 cases underwent open radical gastrectomy (open group). Peritoneum of right upper belly was collected at 3 operation time points (the beginning, 2 hours, 4 hours). The expressions of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells at 3 time points were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results With the operation prolonging, the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 was increased gradually in both LARG and open groups. The expression of integrin β1 in two groups was obviously increased at 4-hour time point as compared to the beginning (P<0.05). Besides, there were no significant differences of these two adhesion molecules among the three operation time points between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with open surgery, LARG is not associated with a greater effect on the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells, and may not promote peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer through increasing the expression of adhesion molecule in peritoneal mesothelial cells.

Conclusions Compared with open surgery, LARG is not associated with a greater effect on the expression of ICAM-1 and integrin β1 in peritoneal mesothelial cells, and may not promote peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer through increasing the expression of adhesion molecule in peritoneal mesothelial cells.
