Semiquantitative immunoblot analysis of nm23-H1 and -H2 isoforms in adenocarcinomas of the lung: prognostic significance

Total amounts of nm23 protein and relative levels of H1 and H2 isoforms were studied in 27 fresh-frozen samples of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and adjacent non-neoplastic tissues that were obtained at surgery. Semiquantitative immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody (Pan-242) against nm23 protein demonstrated both isoforms, recognized as 20.5 kDa for H1 and 18.5 kDa for H2, to be present in all cases. Both H1 and H2 levels in neoplastic tissues were higher than in the corresponding non-neoplastic samples. Expression of H2 was usually greater than of H1. The H2/H1 ratio varied from 1.9 to 14.1 (mean value 5.2) in non-neoplastic tissues and 1.0-5.9 (mean value 2.5) in neoplastic tissues, although this ratio did not correlate with any prognostic factor like tumor size, nodal status or distant metastasis (TNM tumor stage). H1 and H2 levels were significantly lower (mean values 4.3 and 2.4) in well-differentiated than in moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (8.3 and 3.0) (P < 0.03 and P < 0.05, respectively). These data indicate that H1 and H2 isoform levels correlate with histological differentiation, but not the metastatic potential or stage of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

Reduced protein expression of metastasis-related genes (nm23, KISS1, KAI1 and p53) in lymph node and liver metastases of gastric cancer

PURPOSE: Metastasis remains an incurable common complication in patients with gastric cancer. A variety of theories have been proposed to explain the inefficiency of the metastatic process. To compare protein expression of metastasis-related genes (nm23, KISS1, KAI1 and p53) between primary tumours and metastatic tumours may be useful in illustrating these theories. METHODS: Metastasis-related tissue microarrays (including normal tissues, primary tumours, nodal metastases and liver metastases) were constructed. The protein expression of nm23, KISS1, KAI1 and p53 in lymph node and liver metastases from advanced gastric cancer specimens was mainly examined by immunohistochemical staining in relation to primary tumours. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical staining showed reduced protein expression of nm23, KISS1 and KAI1 in lymph node and liver metastases compared with primary tumours. Results for p53 were to the contrary. CONCLUSIONS: Our investigations revealed a tendency of reduced protein expression of metastasis suppressor genes nm23, KISS1 and KAI1 in gastric cancer with the progress of metastasis. This means that the progression theory is an important determinant of metastatic efficiency.     

散发性胆囊癌nm23-H1基因遗传不稳定性与错配修复基因hMLH1和hMSH2蛋白表达的研究

目的： 研究人类17号染色体D17S396位点微卫星不稳定性和杂合性缺失，对nm23-H1蛋白表达的影响，同时检测错配修复基因hMLH1和hMSH2蛋白的表达，为揭示nm23-H1基因、hMLH1和hMSH2基因与肿瘤发生和转移机制提供实验依据。方法: 采用石蜡包埋组织抽提DNA、PCR-SSCP、常规银染、Envision免疫组织化学等方法，对50例胆囊癌及其相应的正常组织，进行D17S396位点MSI、LOH的检测和nm23-H1、hMLH1和hMSH2蛋白表达研究。结果: ①原发性胆囊癌D17S396位点遗传不稳定发生率为42.55%，LOH的发生率与肿瘤组织分化程度差异显著（P <0.05）；在肝脏侵润和淋巴转移组高于无肝脏侵润和无淋巴转移组(P <0.01)，在NevinⅣ+Ⅴ期高于Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ期(P <0.01)；而MSI发生率则相反；②nm23-H1蛋白阳性率为46.81%，在淋巴转移组低于无淋巴转移组(P <0.01)；NevinⅣ+Ⅴ期低于Ⅰ+Ⅱ+Ⅲ期(P <0.05)；③hMLH1和hMSH2蛋白阳性率分别为51.06%和42.55%，hMLH1蛋白表达在有无淋巴转移组和Nevin分期有显著差异(P <0.01)，肝脏侵润组低于无肝脏侵润组(P <0.05)；④MSI阳性组中hMLH1蛋白阳性率显著高于MSI阴性组(P <0.05)。LOH阳性组中nm23-H1和hMSH2蛋白阳性率显著低于LOH阴性组（P <0.05）；⑤hMSH2蛋白阳性组中nm23-H1蛋白表达明显高于hMSH2蛋白阴性组（P<0.05）。结论:nm23-H1基因的遗传不稳定性可能是胆囊癌发生、发展的一个重要分子机制。nm23-H1基因的MSI和LOH，通过相互独立的途径调控胆囊癌的发生和转移。hMLH1/hMSH2表达异常可能是胆囊癌的早期分子事件。提高胆囊癌局部nm23-H1、hMLH1和hMSH2蛋白的表达，可减缓肿瘤的侵润转移并提高预后率。     

nm23-H1 protein expression and gene mutation in 150 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas

The metastasis-suppressing role of the nm23 gene in the metastatic spread of malignant tumor is still debated. We examined the nm23-H1 protein expression and gene mutation in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas to compare with the clinicopathologic parameters. The expression of nm23-H1 protein was immunohistochemically examined in 150 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas; 85 diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DL-BCL), 18 marginal zone B cell lymphomas (MZL), 3 mantle cell lymphomas, 25 peripheral T cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified (TCLNOS), and 19 NK/T cell lymphomas (NK/T). Eighty-one cases (58 DLBCL, 6 MZL, 4 TCLNOS, and 13 NK/T) were studied for nm23-H1 gene mutation in exon 1 to 5. The high expression of nm23-H1 protein was associated with the high IPI score (p=0.019) and the low survival rate of the patients (p=0.0039). The gene mutation of nm23-H1 was detected in 10.3% of DLBCL and 30.7% of NK/T; but none in MZL and TCLNOS. The mutation was found in exon 1 in 5 cases, exon 2 in two cases, exon 4 in one case and both exon 1 and 2 in two cases. Our results suggest that the expression of nm23-H1 protein can be used as a poor prognostic marker in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, and the mutational change of gene may operate in the lymphomagenesis.     

c-myc amplification is associated with HER2 amplification and closely linked with cell proliferation in tissue microarray of nonselected breast cancers

C-myc and HER2 amplification were analyzed on 214 consecutive breast cancers by fluorescence in situ hybridization using tissue microarray technology. The frequencies of amplification were 15.4% (33/214) and 23.3% (49/210), respectively. c- myc amplification was significantly associated with HER2 amplification ( P < .001) and closely linked with cell proliferative activity, measured by Ki67 labeling index ( P = .010). In univariate survival analysis, lymph node status, tumor size, and histological grade were significant prognostic factors, but in multivariate analysis, lymph node status was the only significant factor. Patient survival did not differ according to c- myc amplification status, and c- myc amplification showed no significant correlation with clinicopathologic features of the tumors. A strong correlation between c- myc and HER2 amplification and proliferative activity indicates a biological link between these genes in breast cancer cell.     

Retinoblastoma and p53 gene product expression in breast carcinoma: Immunohistochemical analysis and clinicopathologic correlation

We examined 100 breast cancers for retinoblastoma (Rb) and p53 protein expression by immunohistochemistry using the PMG3.245 and PAb 1801 antibodies. We assessed percentages of reactive cells and their intensity, as well as staining patterns. The results were correlated with neu protein reactivity and a panel of variables, including age, tumor size and type, nuclear grade, estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor content, and lymph node status. Retinoblastoma protein negativity, either partial or complete, was noted in 47% of cases. Surprisingly, a relatively stronger Rb reaction was seen in some high nuclear grade tumors. p53 positivity was found in 23% of cases and was a significant predictor of Rb loss. p53 also was correlated with poorly differentiated (nuclear grade III) neoplasms and neu expression but not with negative ER status. Tissue distribution profiles for Rb-negative and p53-positive cells were variable in this series, with both uniform and heterogeneous patterns observed. This suggests that Rb and p53 alterations may represent early or late events in transformation. Our findings further implicate Rb and p53 derangements in mammary oncogenesis.     

Overexpressions of Cyclin B1, cdc2, p16 and p53 in human breast cancer: the clinicopathologic correlations and prognostic implications

Purpose

The molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the initiation and progression of breast cancers are largely unknown. This study was to analyze the cyclin B1, cdc2, p53 and p16 tumor suppressor genes in human breast cancer.

Materials and Methods

To investigate the role of cyclin B1, cdc2, p53 and p16 in the pathogenesis and progression of breast carcinomas, 98 cases of breast cancers were examined by immunohistochemical method. The correlations of cyclin B1, cdc2, p53 and p16 expression with various clinico-pathologic findings were analysed.

Results

In the normal breast tissues, cyclin B1, cdc2 and p16 were weakly expressed, while p53 was not expressed. On the other hand, cyclin B1, cdc2, p53 and p16 were overexpressed in breast cancer, showing correlation between the expression of cyclin B1 and cdc2 and breast cancers (p=0.00). The overexpressions of cdc2 and p16 were correlated with an infiltrative tumor border pattern and this was statistically significant (p<0.05). In addition, the overexpression of cdc2 was correlated with histologic high grade carcinomas (p=0.00).

Conclusion

Cyclin B1 and cdc2 appeared to be involved in the genesis or progression of breast cancers. In addition, the overexpressions of p16 and p53 may play important roles in more aggressive tumor and the overexpression of cdc2 is associated with progression of tumor to a higher grade of breast carcinomas. The deranged overexpressions of cyclin B1, cdc2, p16 and p53 may play an important role in human breast carcinogenesis.     

C-erbB-2, p53, and nm23 gene product expression in breast cancer in young women: Immunohistochemical analysis and clinicopathologic correlation

We studied c-erbB-2, p53, and nm23 gene products in 112 primary breast carcinomas. Fifty patients were aged 35 years or younger, and 62 were aged 36 to 50. Clinicopathological criteria including clinical stage, hormone receptor status, histological types, histological grades, and lymph node status, were reviewed. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. Immunohistochemical findings were assessed semiquantitatively. Correlation between clinicopathological criteria, survival data, and immunohistochemical findings have been made. Patients aged younger than 35 years with stage I to II disease had a shorter DFS (P = .03) than older patients. However, no other clinicopathological finding was associated with age. Neither was there association between age and c-erbB-2, p53, or nm23 patterns of expression. p53 positivity was associated with high histological grade (P = .003) and with progesterone receptor negativity (P = .045). Nm23 nuclear positivity was associated with early clinical stages (P = .011) and with absence of axillary lymph node metastasis (P = .007). p53 and c-erbB-2 overexpression were associated with shorter OS while nm23 nuclear positivity was associated with longer OS in univariate and multivariate analyses. Univariate analyses showed that c-erbB-2 or nm23 were potentially important prognostic factors in women aged 35 years or younger while p53 was associated with prognosis in women aged 36 to 50. Cox model analysis indicated that c-erbB-2 alone was associated with prognosis in women 35 years and younger, whereas p53 alone was associated with prognosis in 36-to 50-year-old women. These results suggest that breast cancer in the youngest women has some biological specificity.     

Immunohistochemical analysis of bcl-2 and p53 expression in breast carcinomas: their correlation with Ki-67 growth fraction

We examined 59 breast cancers for p53 and bcl-2 protein expression by immunohistochemistry. The results were correlated with Ki-67 immunostaining. p53-negativity was noted in 40 cases and the remaining 19 tumours were p53-positive. Thirty-six tumours showed strong expression of bcl-2 and in 23 no staining for this protein was observed. We found statistically significant reverse correlation between expression of p53 and bcl-2 in majority of carcinomas: 31 cases were bcl-2 positive and p53-negative, and 14 tumours were bcl-2-negative and p53-positive. Six carcinomas showed no nuclear staining for Ki-67 and in the remaining 53 the percent of cancer cells positive for Ki-67 ranged from 1 to 60 (mean: 14.6). In these 53 cases we found that bcl-2-positive tumours were characterized by lower proliferation than bcl-2-negative tumours, the mean value of Ki-67 immunostaining being 10.7% and 23.0%, respectively. p53-negative tumours showed lower proliferation than p53-positive tumours: mean Ki-67 index was 10.2% and 23.9%, respectively.We conclude that immunohistochemically detected p53 and bcl-2 proteins show a significant inverse relationship in majority of breast carcinomas and their expression correlates with tumour proliferation (Ki-67 immunostaining).

Expression of nucleoside diphosphate kinase/nm23 gene product in human pancreatic cancer: an association with lymph node metastasis and tumor invasion

The expression of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase/nm23 has been reported to be inversely related to metastasizing potential of experimental cells and human breast cancer. In the present study, levels of NDP kinase/nm23 gene product in curatively resected human pancreatic adenocarcinomas were examined immunohistochemically using anti-NDP kinase antibody. Immunoreactivity for NDP kinase varied between tumors. Of 31 pancreatic tumors examined, 17 (55%; positive staining group) showed strong immunoreactivity for the NDP kinase, while 14 (45%; negative staining group) showed low or no immunoreactivity. Positive staining was associated with higher incidence of lymph node metastasis (13/17; 77%) and perineural invasion (13/17; 77%) than negative staining (5/14, 36%, P < 0.03; 4/14, 29%, P < 0.01, respectively). Positive staining was also associated with shorter overall survival and relapse-free survival than negative staining (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, respectively). No significant difference in age, sex, size, location of tumor, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, or histological type was found between the two groups. These results showed that, in contrast to the reports on breast cancer, NDP kinase/nm23 expression in human pancreatic cancer is positively associated with lymph node metastasis or perineural invasion and with poor prognosis. These, together with other previous reports, suggest that NDP kinase may play an important role in cancer progression or aggressiveness by altering its expression in a tissue-specific manner.
