大肠癌Lovo细胞E-Cadherin,N-Cadherin的表达及化学治疗药物对其表达的影响

目的：研究大肠癌Lovo细胞上皮钙粘附素(E-Cadherin)，神经钙粘附素(N-Cadherin)的表达及常用化学治疗药物对其表达的影响。方法：应用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)法检测大肠癌Lovo细胞E-Cad-herin，N-Cadherin的表达，并通过几种不同的化疗药物(顺铂、吡柔比星、丝裂霉素、5-FU)不同浓度和时间作用后，对E-Cadherin，N-Cadherin表达的影响。结果：不同化疗药物对大肠癌Lovo细胞N=Cadherin表达无影响，高浓度顺铂和高浓度吡柔比星二组出现-Cadherin表达，其它各组未见表达。结论：大肠癌常用的化疗药物无论低浓度持续用药，还是高浓度短时间用药，对大肠癌Lovo细胞N-Cadherin的表达无抑制作用，说明上述药物不能通过抑制N—Cadherin的表达，而起到抗癌作用。高浓度顺铂和吡柔比星二组显示E-Cadherin的表达，表现出抑癌的作用，从而提示在大肠癌化疗时，顺铂和吡柔比星更适合于高浓度短时间应用。

Homotypic Adhesion through Carcinoembryonic Antigen Plays a Role in Hepatic Metastasis Development

We established a cell line with high metastatic potential to the liver (LS-LM4) after four successive repetitions of splenic injection of liver-metastatic cells in SCID mice. This cell line strongly expressed CEA and showed increased homotypic adhesion as compared with the parent cell line (LS174T). To examine the role of CEA in the increased homotypic adhesion, LS-LM4 cells were treated with anti-CEA antibody and subjected to an in vitro adhesion and aggregation assay. Further, to study the role of CEA in the hepatic metastasis of cells with high metastatic potential, LS-LM4 cells were treated with anti-CEA antibody, and the inhibition of hepatic metastasis after splenic injection in vivo was examined. There was a 62% decrease in the homotypic adhesion of anti-CEA antibody-treated (100 μg/ml) LS-LM4 cells under a Ca²⁺-free condition as compared with the control ( P <0.01). Anti-CEA antibody (100 μg/ml) inhibited cell aggregation under a Ca²⁺-free condition ( P <0.05). Treatment with anti-E-cadherin antibody (60 μ/ml) plus anti-CEA antibody (100 μg/ml) inhibited cell aggregation more potently than anti-E-cadherin antibody treatment alone in the presence of Ca²⁺. In vivo , there was a 75% decrease in the number of hepatic metastatic nodules in the G125 anti-CEA antibody-treated group as compared with the control group ( P <0.01). Similarly, there was a 40% decrease in the diameter of metastatic nodules and there was a 90% decrease in total tumor volume of hepatic metastasis in the G125 anti-CEA antibody-treated group as compared with the control ( P <0.01). These results suggest that increased metastatic potential to the liver is at least partly due to increased homotypic binding mediated by CEA.     

Pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands: E-cadherin immunoexpression and analysis of the CDH1 -160C/A polymorphism

ObjectiveDespite their similar cellular origin, pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) present distinct behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the immunoexpression of E-cadherin in PA and ACC of salivary glands, and to investigate differences in its expression in relation to E-cadherin gene (CDH1) -160C/A polymorphism.DesignTwenty-four PA (15 cell-rich and 9 cell-poor tumors) and 24 ACC (10 tubular, 8 cribriform and 6 solid tumors) were selected for the analysis of pattern of distribution, and cellular localization of E-cadherin. In addition, E-cadherin expression was evaluated using the H-score scoring system. The CDH1 -160C/A polymorphism was investigated by PCR-RFLP.ResultsNo significant differences in pattern of distribution (p = 0.181) and cellular localization (p = 0.192) of E-cadherin were observed between PA and ACC. Comparison of PA and ACC cases revealed a higher median H-score in the latter (p = 0.036). Cell-rich PA presented a higher H-score than cell-poor tumors (p = 0.013), whereas no significant differences in E-cadherin expression were observed between ACC subtypes (p = 0.254). The heterozygous genotype of the CDH1 -160C/A polymorphism was detected in only one PA and one ACC. H-scores for tumors carrying the polymorphism were below the lower quartile of their respective groups.ConclusionsThe results suggest that E-cadherin expression in PA and ACC is mainly related to cellular composition (epithelial cells versus myoepithelial cells) and degree of differentiation of myoepithelial cells in these tumors. The CDH1 -160C/A polymorphism does not seem to significantly influence the expression of E-cadherin in PA and ACC of salivary glands.     

伴微乳头状分化的胃肠道腺癌的临床病理学特征分析

目的探讨伴微乳头状分化的胃肠道腺癌的临床病理学特征。方法选择2009年1月至2012年12月收治的伴微乳头状分化的胃肠道腺癌50例作为观察组,同期选择普通胃肠道原发腺癌50例作为对照组,观察两组患者的临床病理特征,同时进行EMA、E-Cadherin和IMP3的免疫组织化学分析。结果观察组患者的肿瘤浸润程度和临床分期均显著高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组患者的EMA表达阳性率为56.0%,对照组患者的EMA表达阳性率为24.0%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组患者的IMP3表达水平高于对照组,而E-cadherin表达水平则明显下降,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论伴微乳头状分化的胃肠道腺癌具有高侵袭性与高分期的临床特征,可造成EMA和IMP3表达率增加以及E-cadherin表达率降低,提示其有特殊的增殖活性和细胞黏附性。

Prognostic and predictive values of Nrf2, Keap1, p16 and E-cadherin expression in ovarian epithelial carcinoma

Objectives: Despite considerable interest in the Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1), p16 and epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) activation in carcinoma progression, contradictory results regarding association of Nrf2/Keap1/E-cadherin and p16 expression with clinico-pathological features and prognosis have been reported. The predictive value of these markers in ovarian carcinoma is unknown. Methods/Materials: In this retrospective study, 108 cases were evaluated immunohistochemically with antibodies to Nrf2, Keap1, estrogen receptor (ER), p16 and E-cadherin. The results were compared with histological and clinical data, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: A cohort of 108 ovarian carcinomas (47 serous, 23 mucinous, 13 endometrioid and 25 clear cell), including 68 FIGO stage I-II cases and 40 FIGO stage III-IV cases was studied. The age of patients (P=0.005), FIGO stage (P<0.001), immunohistochemical expression of Keap1 (P<0.000), E-cadherin (P=0.045), p53 (P=0.003), p16 (P<0.001) and ER (P=0.004) were significant factors between different histological subtypes. Patients with serous carcinoma were older in age, presented with more advanced stage disease, worst prognosis, highest Keap1 expression and least percentage of E-cadherin immunoreactivity. In univariate analysis, FIGO staging (P=0.000 for DFS; P=0.000 for OS), Nrf2 (P=0.010 for DFS; P=0.001 for OS), and p16 (P=0.004 for DFS; P=0.019 for OS) were associated with worse prognosis. After multivariate analysis, FIGO staging and Nrf2 remained significance prognostic factors. Conclusions: There were differences in the expression of Nrf2, Keap1, p16 and E-cadherin between different ovarian carcinoma subtypes. In multivariate analysis, FIGO stage and Nrf2 expression were associated with poorer DFS and OS.     

EZH2及E-Cadherin在SD大鼠子宫内膜异位症中的表达及意义

目的:探讨癌相关蛋白EZH2和钙黏蛋白(E-Cadherin)在子宫内膜异位症大鼠模型异位灶中的表达及意义。方法:根据大鼠自体移植方法构建大鼠子宫内膜异位症模型为实验组(n=15),选取未造模的正常大鼠为对照组(n=10)。应用免疫组织化学法(Elivision法)和Western-blot法检测实验组异位灶内及对照组子宫内膜中EZH2和E-Cadherin的表达情况,并分析两者的相关性。结果:免疫组化检测EZH2在实验组异位灶和对照组子宫内膜组织中阳性表达的平均光密度值分别为(43.10±1.52)和(32.70±1.64),而E-Cadherin在实验组异位灶和对照组子宫内膜组织中阳性表达的平均光密度值分别为(15.70±1.64)和(23.30±1.64),差异均有统计学意义(P0.05)。Western-blot法检测实验组异位灶中EZH2表达量(195.26)明显高于对照组(85.74),而E-Cadherin表达量(24.67)明显低于对照组(92.50),差异均有统计学意义(P0.05)。实验组EZH2与E-Cadherin的表达呈负相关(r=-0.9626,P0.05)。结论:子宫内膜异位症病灶中EZH2高表达都伴随着ECadherin的低表达,且两者呈明显的负相关,EZH2可能通过抑制E-Cadherin的表达促进子宫内膜异位症的发生及发展。
