SUMMARY: Neurotrophic factors are a family of polypeptides required for survival of discrete neuronal populations. In the normal state such factors are mostly synthesised by target tissues and are used for the viability of the nerve-cell bodies. After nerve injury, neurotrophic factors (NFs) are synthesised by non-neuronal (Schwann cells and fibroblasts) in the nerve trunk, and act to support the outgrowth of axons. NFs can be classified into three major groups: (1) neurotrophins; (2) neurokines; and (3) the transforming growth factor beta (TGF)-beta superfamily. 相似文献

Background
Albanian immigrants in Greece comprise a highly mobile population with unknown health care profile. We aimed to assess whether these immigrants were more or less likely to undergo laparotomy for suspected appendicitis with negative findings (negative appendicectomy), by performing a controlled study with individual (1:4) matching. We used data from 6 hospitals in the Greek prefecture of Epirus that is bordering Albania. 相似文献4.

Expression of the hormone-related proteins hsp27, pS2, and also of cathepsin D (CD) and metallothionein (MT) was studied by immunohistochemistry and analyzed against clinical data in breast cancer. Archived material of paraffin-embedded breast carcinoma tissues from a cohort of 134 patients with primary invasive breast cancer was used. Hsp27 and pS2 (>10% of tumor cells stained) were found to be expressed in 63.6% and 37.6% of cases, respectively, and were correlated negatively with grading (P=0.006 and 0.01) and positively with estrogen receptors (ER) (P=0.04 and 0.04). pS2 expression was correlated with lymph node status (P=0.02), tumor size (P=0.01), progesterone receptor (PR) content (P=0.02), hsp27 (P=0.015) and bcl-2 protein (P=0.001). An inverse relationship between pS2 expression and the expression of p53 protein (P=0.005) and proliferation-associated index MIB1 (P<0.0001) was noted. Stromal cathepsin D was positively correlated with tumor grade (P=0.01), PCNA (P=0.007), MIB1 (P=0.001) and p53 (P=0.01), and negatively with ER (P=0.04) and bcl-2 (P<0.0001). MT was correlated positively with stromal CD (P=0.007) and inversely with PgR (P=0.04). Univariate analysis showed CD expression to be a positive prognostic factor for survival (P=0.035), with borderline significance, while MT was more strongly positive (P=0.01). However, none of the proteins studied was found to be related to disease outcome in univariate analysis. Our data show that hsp27, pS2 and stromal CD expression may reflect tumor differentiation and the functional status of ER in breast cancer, but stromal CD and tumor MT expression were the only factors found that may be of limited prognostic value. 相似文献

We report a rare case of a cellular neurilemoma (schwannoma) of the descending colon, mimicking carcinoma, not accompanied by von Recklinghausen's disease. The differential diagnostic problems are discussed and the possibility of a site-specific, modified Schwann cell of myenteric plexus origin is suggested. 相似文献

The immunohistochemical expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM) components tenascin (TN), fibronectin (FN), collagen type IV (Coll) and laminin (LN), and their possible relationships were studied in a series of 134 operable breast cancer cases. Their expression was also compared with the expression of the proteolytic enzyme cathepsin D (CD), the adhesion molecule CD44 standard form (CD44s) and other known factors to clarify the prognostic value and role of these molecules in tumour progression and metastasis. TN expression in the tumour stroma was positively correlated with tumour grade and size, CD44s expression, tumour and stromal CD expression as well as with FN, laminin and Coll expression in the same areas. TN expression was inverse correlated with ER status. Its expression at the invasion front was only positively correlated with the lymph node status. Survival analysis showed an increased mortality risk associated with high levels of TN expression. In multivariate analysis, among the ECM proteins, only TN expression was independently correlated with patients' survival. FN expression was positively correlated with lymph node involvement, with the proliferation-associated index Ki-67 and stromal CD expression. Survival analysis showed an increased mortality risk associated with a high level of FN expression. Coll expression was positively correlated with the tumour size and LN expression. An inverse relationship of Coll expression with ER and PgR receptor status was also found. LN expression was positively correlated with tumour and stromal CD expression, with the proliferation-associated index Ki-67 and inversely with ER receptor status. The observed alterations in the expression of ECM proteins in breast cancer tissue and their correlations with the proteolytic enzyme CD and the adhesion molecule CD44s, suggest an involvement in cancer progression. In addition, overexpression of stromal TN and FN seems to have negative prognostic value in breast cancer patients. 相似文献

Syndecan-1, a cell surface proteoglycan found predominantly on epithelia of mature tissues, binds both extracellular matrix (ECM) components and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and is implicated in the restriction of growth and invasiveness of neoplastic cells, as it induces the adhesion capacity of neoplastic cells with the stroma. In this study we investigated breast carcinomas for the immunohistochemical expression of syndecan-1 protein and these results were assessed in relation to clinicopathological parameters, in order to clarify its prognostic value. The possible relationship with hormone receptors content, p53, cell proliferation markers, and extracellular matrix components was also estimated. Tissue sections from 102 breast carcinomas were used and immunostainings were performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections by the labelled streptavidin avidin biotin (LSAB) method. High expression levels were observed, as 75/102 (73.5%) cases expressed immunoreactivity in more than 80% of neoplastic cells, while 67/102 (65.7%) exhibited high staining intensity. The survival analysis showed an increased mortality risk associated with high syndecan-1 staining intensity with borderline significance (p=0.041). In addition, there was a strong negative correlation between syndecan-1 protein expression and ECM, specifically collagen IV (p=0.026) and tenascin (p=0.0067). The results of the present study show the implication of this protein in the remodeling of breast cancer tissue, through the interaction with other extracellular matrix components, probably influences the tumour progression. 相似文献

Peri-vascular matrices having a finely textured granular substructure have been identified in 27 human lesions: these were mostly malignancies but included benign tumours and reactive processes. The matrices were defined as stromal components surrounding endothelium and pericytes, and lying between vessels and adjacent lesional cells. They were identified as having a finely textured, uniform and moderately dense substructure, and differed from a conventional basal lamina expected at these sites by the absence of the typical lamina densa/lamina lucida configuration. By light microscope immunohistochemistry, vessels stained positively for laminin and collagen IV, two of the main proteins characterising a conventional basal lamina. The present observations emphasise the following. 1) The proteins laminin and collagen IV can be found in peri-vascular locations which have a finely textured granular substructure, and which have clearly defined ultrastructural differences from a conventional basal lamina. 2) While conventional light microscope immunohistochemistry demonstrates the presence and cellular location of proteins, electron microscopy is helpful for giving information on their physical organisation. 3) Peri-vascular granular matrices have a widespread distribution in malignant tumours but also exist in benign tumours and reactive lesions. This paper briefly discusses the possible functions of these matrices as modulators of cell biological processes. 相似文献
