Coexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor and p53 protein in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

OBJECTIVE: p53 plays a role in tumor angiogenesis, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key role in tumor angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to clarify how expression of p53 protein participates in angiogenesis, and whether the coexpression of VEGF and p53 protein has a significance for angiogenesis and the clinicopathological features in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS: Tissues samples were taken from 60 patients with esophageal SCC after surgery. The expression of VEGF and p53 protein in these SCC was examined immunohistochemically. Microvessel density (MVD) was determined by counting microvessels in tumor sections stained for Factor VIII-related antigen. Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was calculated, based on Ki-67 antigen immunostaining, as a proliferative marker. Apoptotic index (AI) was calculated, based on the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate biotin nick end labeling, to evaluate apoptosis. RESULTS: VEGF expression was observed in 58.3%, and p53 protein expression was observed in 61.7% of the 60 patients. VEGF and p53 protein were significantly coexpressed in 26 (43.4%). Histological venous invasion (p < 0.01) and distant metastasis (p < 0.05) were significantly correlated with p53 protein expression. The two parameters were more frequently observed in the SCC with VEGF/p53 coexpression than in those without the coexpression. The MVD and Ki-67 LI were significantly higher (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001), and the AI was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the SCC with p53 protein expression than in the SCC without it. The MVD and Ki-67 LI were higher, and the AI was lower in the SCC with VEGF/p53 coexpression than in those without the coexpression. The 5-yr survival rate in patients with the coexpression was poorer than in the other patients. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that mutant p53 expression is associated with angiogenesis and distant metastasis in esophageal SCC, and that the coexpression of p53 and VEGF may play an important role in angiogenesis, and have important clinical significance.

Suppression of growth of pancreatic cancer cell and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor by gene silencing with RNA interference

OBJECTIVE: To explore the anti‐angiogenesis and tumor cell growth suppressive effects resulted from gene silencing by RNAi in BxPC‐3 human pancreatic cancer cells. METHODS: The designation and transfection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐siRNA lentivirus was carried out in vitro. Real‐time PCR and western blot were conducted to measure the expression levels of VEGF mRNA and protein. Flow cytometry was employed to evaluate cell apoptosis and cell death. A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was used to assess the cytotoxicity of VEGF‐siRNA. A 3‐(4, 5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2, 5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to picture the cellular growth. For the in vivo study, BxPC‐3 cells were injected subcutaneously into nude mice to form xenografts. The mice were divided into three groups according to the intervention used. The control group, the negative control group and the knockdown group of mice were injected with saline, an empty lentivirus vehicle and lentivirus carrying VEGF‐siRNA, respectively. None of the mice died during the study. When these mice were killed, the xenografts were collected and the tumor sizes of the different groups were compared. Finally, immunohistochemistry was used to assess the VEGF expression level and microvascular density. RESULTS: After the transfection of VEGF‐siRNA lentivirus, the cellular expression of VEGF mRNA decreased to 50% of the control and the VEGF protein in the BxPC‐3 cells decreased to 30% of the control. Apoptosis and cell death increased after transfection of the VEGF‐siRNA lentivirus. The LDH assay showed high cytotoxicity induced by VEGF‐siRNA lentivirus transfection. The MTT assay showed slower cellular growth in the knockdown cells. Tumor growth suppression was observed in nude mice that had received the VEGF‐siRNA lentivirus transfection, and the tumor sizes of the xenografts in this group were clearly smaller than those in other two groups. VEGF expression and microvascular density were significantly decreased. CONCLUSION: Vascular endothelial growth factor gene silencing via VEGF‐siRNA can effectively inhibit the production of VEGF and exert an anti‐angiogenesis and tumor cell growth suppressive effect both in vitro and in vivo.

Clinicopathological significance of vascular endothelial growth factor-C and cyclooxygenase-2 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is a specific growth factor of lymphatics, which is known to play some role in tumor growth and metastasis to lymph nodes and distant organs in various malignancies. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the expression of VEGF-C in human esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) to elucidate its role in tumor progression and lymph node metastasis. Another aim of the study was to investigate the relation between VEGF-C and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in ESCC. METHODS: The expression of VEGF-C and COX-2 in ESCC was evaluated in 13 endoscopic mucosal resection specimens and in 21 surgical specimens by immunohistochemical staining. Clinical data were obtained from medical records. RESULTS: The degree of VEGF-C expression increased as the depth of primary tumor progressed (r = 0.521, P = 0.002), the stage progressed (r = 0.572, P < 0.001), and the degree of COX-2 expression increased (r = 0.387, P = 0.024). The VEGF-C positive rate was different between early cancers in which regional lymph node metastasis was thought to be absent and advanced cancers in which regional lymph node metastases were confirmed after surgery (20.0% vs 100.0%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The VEGF-C expression in ESCC is related to COX-2 expression, and VEGF-C is also associated with the depth of primary tumor, the stage, and probably lymph node metastasis. Thus the investigation of VEGF-C expression in ESCC may assist in management planning.     

Vascular endothelial growth factor expression in pN2 non-small cell lung cancer: lack of prognostic value

OBJECTIVE: Although several previous studies have investigated the prognostic significance of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in non-small cell lung (NSCL) cancer, no previous study has concentrated on NSCL cancer with pathologically abnormal mediastinal nodes (pN2). METHODOLOGY: A total of 60 patients with pN2 NSCL cancer who had undergone a complete resection with a systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection were reviewed retrospectively. Immunohistochemical examination, using antibodies against VEGF, was conducted. The prognostic significance of VEGF expression and clinicopathological factors were analysed. RESULTS: The overall 5-year survival rate was 21.7%. With respect to clinicopathological factors, single N2 involvement and skip metastasis were significantly associated with patients' survival. Expression of VEGF was found in 35/60 (58.3%) patients. VEGF expression was not related to the clinicopathological parameters examined. There was no relationship between survival rates and patients positive and negative for VEGF. Multivariate analysis showed that single N2 disease was an independent prognostic factor, while VEGF expression was not. CONCLUSIONS: Although VEGF expression might be important for tumour development and maintenance, no prognostic significance of VEGF expression in pN2 NSCL cancer was found.     

Endothelin inhibits cholangiocarcinoma growth by a decrease in the vascular endothelial growth factor expression

Background: Endothelins (ET‐1, ET‐2, ET‐3) are peptides with vasoactive properties interacting with ET_A and ET_B receptors. ET‐1 inhibits secretin‐stimulated ductal secretion (hallmark of cholangiocyte growth) of cholestatic rats by interaction with ET receptors. Aim: The aims of the studies were to evaluate (i) the effect of ET‐1 on cholangiocarcinoma growth in Mz‐ChA‐1 cells and nude mice and (ii) whether ET‐1 regulation of cholangiocarcinoma growth is associated with changes in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor‐A (VEGF‐A), VEGF‐C, VEGF receptor‐2 (VEGFR‐2) and VEGFR‐3. Methods: We determined the expression of ET_A and ET_B receptors on normal and malignant (Mz‐ChA‐1) cholangiocytes and human cholangiocarcinoma tissue and the effect of ET‐1 on the proliferation and expression of VEGF‐A, VEGF‐C (regulators of tumour angiogenesis) and its receptors, VEGFR‐2 and VEGFR‐3, in Mz‐ChA‐1 cells. In vivo, Mz‐ChA‐1 cells were injected into the flanks of athymic mice and injections of ET‐1 or saline into the tumours were performed daily. The effect of ET‐1 on tumour size, cell proliferation, apoptosis, collagen quantity and the expression of VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C and VEGFR‐2 and VEGFR‐3 were measured after 73 days. Results: Higher expression of ET_A and ET_B was observed in malignant compared with normal cholangiocytes. ET‐1 inhibited proliferation and VEGF‐A, VEGF‐C, VEGFR‐2 and VEGFR‐3 expression of Mz‐ChA‐1 cells. Chronic ET‐1 treatment decreased tumour volume, tumour cell proliferation and VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C expression but increased apoptosis and collagen tissue deposition compared with controls. Conclusions: Modulation of VEGF‐A and VEGF‐C (by ET‐1) may be important for managing cholangiocarcinoma growth.

Clinicopathological features of hepatocellular carcinoma evaluated by vascular endothelial growth factor expression

AIM: To evaluate the significance of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), its correlation with clinicopathological variables were studied in the tissue of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and surrounding liver. METHODS: In 56 samples (tumor and non-tumor liver tissue) collected from 28 patients, VEGF expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. RESULTS: The value of VEGF expression by western blotting was correlated with immunohistochemical staining grade. In tumor tissue, the value of VEGF expression correlated with tumor size (P = 0.034), á-fetoprotein (P = 0.036) and protein induced by vitamin K absence-II by simple regression, and histological grade (P = 0.0132) by the unpaired t-test. The level of VEGF expression in non-tumor liver was found to correlate with the value of serum albumin (P = 0.008), cholinesterase (P = 0.012) and prothrombin activity (P = 0.046). The frequency of simple nodular type in gross appearance decreased in cases with high tumor/non-tumor (T/N) ratio (P = 0.022), and the degree of portal vein invasion progressed with an increase in the T/N ratio (P = 0.008). The T/N ratio was significantly higher in early recurrence cases (P = 0.0081). CONCLUSION: This study on the expression of VEGF might be useful to estimate the liver condition and the clinicopathological features of HCC.     

Melatonin prevents human pancreatic carcinoma cell PANC-1-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation and migration by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor expression

Abstract: Melatonin is an important natural oncostatic agent, and our previous studies have found its inhibitory action on tumor angiogenesis, but the mechanism remains unclear. It is well known that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays key roles in tumor angiogenesis and has become an important target for antitumor therapy. Pancreatic cancer is a representative of the most highly vascularized and angiogenic solid tumors, which responds poorly to chemotherapy and radiation. Thus, seeking new treatment strategies targeting which have anti‐angiogenic capability is urgent in clinical practice. In this study, a co‐culture system between human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and pancreatic carcinoma cells (PANC‐1) was used to investigate the direct effect of melatonin on the tumor angiogenesis and its possible action on VEGF expression. We found HUVECs exhibited an increased cell proliferation and cell migration when co‐cultured with PANC‐1 cells, but the process was prevented when melatonin added to the incubation medium. Melatonin at concentrations of 1 μm and 1 mm inhibited the cell proliferation and migration of HUVECs and also decreased both the VEGF protein secreted to the cultured medium and the protein produced by the PANC‐1 cells. In addition, the VEGF mRNA expression was also down‐regulated by melatonin. Taken together, our present study shows that melatonin at pharmacological concentrations inhibited the elevated cell proliferation and cell migration of HUVECs stimulated by co‐culturing them with PANC‐1 cells; this was associated with a suppression of VEGF expression in PANC‐1 cells.
