Sixty-six unselected breast cancers were analyzed in cytologic smears and histologic sections for the expression of Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). estrogen receptor protein (ERP), and p53 protein using a standard immunochemical method. The results, expressed as both positive cases and labelling index (LI), were compared with clinical and pathobiological variables. Ki-67 and PCNA immunostaining was seen in all cases, whereas ERP was detectable in 46/63 cases and p53 protein in 20/66 cases. The expression of these markers was generally lower in cytology than in histology, though the differences were not statistically significant. PCNA-LI and Ki-67-LI were closely correlated (P < 0.001), the mean PCNA:Ki-67 ratio being 0.92 ± 0.57. Occasional discrepancies, however, were found. PCNA and Ki-67 expression was associated with an increase in histologic grade and a decrease in ERP content of tumors, whereas p53 was statistically associated with no clinical or pathobiological variables. The data suggest that proliferative activity and oncogene overexpression may be reliably evaluated in breast cancer by FNA cytology, though PCNA is not a suitable indicator for cell proliferation. The results do not resolve the issue as to whether immunostaining for p53 protein constitutes a dedifferentiation product of the tumor, or is a fundamental aspect of the malignant progression. Survival studies in a larger series of tumors are thus needed to elucidate this point. Diagn Cytopathol 1994; 11:131–140. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

CONTEXT: The predictive value of nuclear proliferation antigen (Ki-67), tumor suppressor gene product p53, and human papillomavirus type has not been evaluated for outcome of laryngeal papilloma. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine whether immunohistochemical analysis of Ki-67 and p53 and human papillomavirus typing by polymerase chain reaction are able to identify patients with a more aggressive course of laryngeal papillomatosis. DESIGN: Immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction were performed on archival, paraffin-embedded, laryngeal papillomatosis biopsy specimens at the time of diagnosis, at an intermediate time during treatment, and at the last procedure available. Staining indexes for Ki-67 and p53 were determined, and human papillomavirus type was analyzed for all biopsies. PATIENTS: Twelve patients with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis for at least 5 years were selected from patients treated at our institution during the last 20 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Separate analyses were conducted comparing average Ki-67 and p53 indexes against disease outcome, viral type, or average number of procedures per year. Associations were analyzed between virus type, average number of procedures per year, outcome, and histology. RESULTS: No statistically significant associations were noted in Ki-67 or p53 indexes and outcome. Weak associations were noted for p53 indexes and procedures per year and virus type. Weak associations also were noted between virus type and development of neoplasia. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations suggest that human papillomavirus typing may be helpful in identifying patients with aggressive recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis. The weak association between p53 indexes and procedures per year and virus type may have some predictive value in identifying aggressive lesions. 相似文献

Laryngeal carcinomas are aggressive neoplasms with controversial association with the human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). So far, the impairment of p53 protein function and its impact on cellular proliferation has not been studied adequately in these tumors. In this work, molecular biologic techniques were used to assess the frequency of HPV and EBV in 110 squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx. In addition, accumulation of p53 and Ki-67 cell proliferation antigen expression in malignant cells was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis. High-grade HPV was found in 37.3% of cases, and none had demonstrable EBV infection. Accumulation of p53 was found in 78.2% of the cases, and it was related to a high Ki-67 labeling index and higher histologic grade. The results demonstrate association of HPV with more than one third of laryngeal carcinomas studied, mainly glottic tumors. Tumors with increased cell proliferation were more frequently high grade, with p53 accumulation and lymph node metastasis. 相似文献

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). 相似文献

We examined Ki-67, p53, p21, and p27 immunolocalization in 43 cases of apocrine lesions of the breast and correlated these findings with histologic parameters to understand their biologic significance. Twenty cases were benign, 1 case was borderline, and 22 cases were diagnosed as malignant, including 9 intraductal and 13 invasive apocrine carcinomas. Both the ratio of Ki-67-positive cases (17 of 21 [88.9%] versus 1 of 19 [5.3%]; P < .001) and the Ki-67 labeling index of positive cases examined (15.0% versus 2.7%; P < .005) were significantly higher in malignant than in benign apocrine lesions. None of the benign or borderline cases was immunohistochemically positive for p53, but 15 of 22 malignant cases (68.2%) demonstrated p53 (P < .001). In addition, the ratio of p53-positive cases was significantly higher in high nuclear grade cases (11 of 13 [84.6%]) than in intermediate nuclear grade cases (4 of 9 [44.4%]; P < .05). P53 immunoreactivity was also positively correlated with the nuclear grade of carcinoma cases examined in this study. Neither p21 nor p27 demonstrated any correlation with histologic parameters or findings of the apocrine lesions. Results of these studies suggest that Ki-67 and p53 may be good markers for differentiation between benign and malignant breast apocrine lesions. 相似文献

p21WAF1 expression in invasive breast cancer and its association with p53, AP-2, cell proliferation,and prognosis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Pellikainen MJ Pekola TT Ropponen KM Kataja VV Kellokoski JK Eskelinen MJ Kosma VM 《Journal of clinical pathology》2003,56(3):214-220
AIMS: To evaluate the expression and prognostic relevance of p21(WAF1) in breast cancer and to investigate its association with p53, activator protein 2 (AP-2), and cell proliferation (as assessed by Ki-67 expression). METHODS: p21(WAF1) expression was analysed immunohistochemically in a large prospective, consecutive series of 420 patients with breast cancer diagnosed and treated between 1990 and 1995 at Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland. Inter-relations between p21(WAF1) expression and p53, AP-2, and Ki-67 were evaluated. The expression of p21(WAF1) was also compared with clinicopathological parameters and the patients' survival. RESULTS: In general, nuclear p21(WAF1) expression was low in carcinomas (median, 2.5%; range, 0-70%). Expression was lowest in lobular carcinomas (chi(2) = 7.4; p = 0.025). p21(WAF1) positive tumours were more often p53 positive (chi(2) = 4.2; p = 0.041) but expression of p21(WAF1) did not correlate with AP-2 expression or Ki-67 in the whole patient group. In addition, the combined expression of p21 and p53 was not associated with AP-2 expression. High nuclear p21(WAF1) positivity (n = 160; 38%) was associated with poor differentiation (chi(2) = 8.1; p = 0.017). In the univariate analyses, p21(WAF1) expression had no prognostic value for predicting breast cancer related survival (BCRS) or recurrence free survival (RFS) in the whole patient group or in the subgroups investigated. However, in postmenopausal patients with lymph node metastases, and oestrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive tumours, high p21(WAF1) expression predicted response to adjuvant hormonal treatment with antioestrogens. In the univariate analysis, the significant factors for predicting BCRS were Ki-67 expression, stage, lymph node status, histological grade, ER and PR status, and those for RFS were Ki-67 expression, stage, and lymph node status. In the multivariate analysis, the independent predictors of shorter BCRS were high cell proliferation activity measured by Ki-67 expression (p < 0.001), advanced stage (p < 0.001), and poor differentiation (p = 0.048). Shorter RFS was independently predicted by high cell proliferative activity (p < 0.001) and advanced stage (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The regulation of p21(WAF1) seems to occur independently of p53 or AP-2 and analysing p21(WAF1) expression provided no prognostic information for patients with breast cancer. 相似文献

The role of survivin that regulates the biological behavior of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is still controversial. We aimed to investigate survivin expression in NSCLC and to define any correlation with expressions of p53, bcl-2, bax, apoptotic index (AI), tumor cell proliferation, clinicopathologic variables, and overall survival. Tumors of 63 patients with NSCLC were examined for expressions of survivin, p53, bcl-2, bax, and Ki-67 by immunohistochemistry. AI was also evaluated. Results for each antibody were correlated with each other, and with clinicopathologic variables including age, sex, histologic subtype, TNM (T: primary tumor, N: regional lymph node metastasis, M: distant metastasis) stage, lymph node status, smoking history, and prognosis. Nuclear survivin expression was inversely correlated with p53 expression (P = 0.04, r = - 0.367), and tumor stage (P = 0.03, r = - 0.273), and positively correlated with tumor cell proliferation (P = 0.009, r = 0.329). Cytoplasmic survivin expression positively correlated with smoking history (P = 0.02, r = 0.282). Survivin/bax ratio was inversely correlated with AI (r: - 0.004). By Kaplan-Meier analysis, TNM stage (P < or = 0.001), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.04), and Ki-67 index (P < or = 0.001) were associated with survival, whereas survivin was not. In multivariate analysis, only TNM stage was an independent predictor. Although survivin and other apoptosis-related protein expressions fail to predict the clinical outcome, the present findings suggest that survivin is involved in tumor cell apoptosis and proliferation and may play a role in critical steps of cancer progression in NSCLC. 相似文献

Expression of cell cycle and apoptosis regulatory proteins in keratoacanthoma and squamous cell carcinoma 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Some authors view keratoacanthoma (KA) as a variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), while others consider it a separate entity that must be distinguished from SCC. Involution displayed by KA is an important difference between these two entities. It has been suggested that apoptosis plays a role in the involution process of KA, although the exact trigger for it remains unclear. A hundred and fifty specimens were included in this study, 30 cases for each of the following groups: normal skin (NS), proliferative keratoacanthoma (pKA), regressing keratoacanthoma (rKA), well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (wdSCC), and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (pdSCC). They were immunohistochemically examined for the expression of p53, Ki-67, bak, and bcl-2. Significantly higher p53 and Ki-67 expressions were observed in all tumor lesions examined as compared with NS. There was higher bak expression in KAs compared to NS and a significant reduction of bak expression in pdSCC together with a significant reduction of bak expression in SCCs compared to pKA. Bcl-2 expression was similar in NS and SCCs, but was lower in rKA. We found a significant positive correlation between p53 and Ki-67, p53 and Bak in NS and examined skin tumors. Lower bcl-2 expression in conjunction with higher bak expression in rKA suggests a possible role of these apoptosis-regulating proteins in tumor regression. In contrast to this finding, a steady level of bcl-2 expression in pdSCC combined with lower bak expression levels and a high proliferation rate could contribute to progression and aggressiveness in these tumors. Bak and p53 expression is a sun-related and age-dependent process in NS and skin tumors. 相似文献

The relationship between the mutation of the p53 gene and the expression of the p53 protein and the Ki-67 antigen has been investigated in 115 cases with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, using the immunohistochemical double staining technique, single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing methods. Eighteen cases showed more than 10% of p53+ cells and the others showed a few p53+ cells presented sporadically. Alterations in the p53 gene were detected in six cases with B cell type, consisting of five cases with point mutation and one case with point mutation and 15 base pairs deletion. These six cases showed a high percentage of p53+ cells and five cases revealed that the percentage of p53+ cells was higher than that of Ki-67+ cells (p53+ cells > Ki-67+ cells). Excluding the six cases with mutation of the p53 gene, all cases revealed that the percentage of p53+ cells was less than that of Ki-67+ cells (p53+ cells < Ki-67+ cells). Moreover, there was a positive correlation between expression of the p53 protein and of the Ki-67 antigen in histologic types of B cell lymphomas and of T cell lymphomas, respectively, except in small non-cleaved (Burkitt's) and lymphoblastic types. Therefore, sporadic cases showing p53+ cells > Ki-67+ cells revealed alteration of the p53 gene, and expressed abnormal p53 protein (mutant form). Most cases showing p53+ cells < Ki-67+ cells expressed normal p53 protein (wild type), and may reflect the rapid proliferation rate. 相似文献

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) represent a heterogeneous group of peripheral T-cell lymphomas arising in the skin and show considerable variations in clinicopathological features. This study was designed to examine viral genomes and cellular proliferation markers in CTCLs arising in Korea. On the basis of their morphologic characteristics and immunophenotypes, 43 cases of primary CTCL were classified, and evaluated for association with either HTLV-I or EBV, p53 protein immunoreactivity and Ki-67 labeling index (LI). EBV was demonstrated in 15 cases (35%) either by EBER in-situ hybridization or PCR; particularly high rates were exhibited by angiocentric T-cell lymphomas. PCR was used to detect HTLV-I proviral DNA, but none was found. The p53 expression rate was higher in large cell lesions, but the Ki-67 LI failed to show any significant differences among the different types. We therefore concluded that in Korea, HTLV-I is less frequently associated with CTCL than in other endemic countries. EBV was found particularly in angiocentric lesions, regardless of cell size or degree of pleomorphism. Because of its high positive rates in high grade lesions, the p53 expression showed positive correlation with histologic grade; however, the Ki-67 labeling index did not correlate with the histologic grade in CTCL. 相似文献

The expression of p53 protein was studied in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens of 41 well-differentiated adenocarcinomas of the gall-bladder, six cases of acute cholecystiiis and 23 cases of chronic cholecystitis, using a monoclonal p53 (PAb 1801) antibody and streptavidin-biotin. p53 staining was divided into diffuse, focal or sporadic patterns. The relationship between the p53 Labeling Index (p53 LI) and cellular proliferation was also investigated using monoclonal Ki-67 (MIB1) antibody. Twenty-four of the 41 carcinomas (58.5%) had a diffuse staining pattern with a high p53 Ll (47–93%) and 9.8% (4141) had a focal staining pattern with an intermediate p53 LI (22–34%), with no relation to pT stage, tumor size, histologic type or grade of cytologic atypia. The p53 LI was higher than the Ki-67 LI in these tumors except for one. On the other hand, p53 staining was completely sporadic in the non-neoplastic specimens with a low p53 LI (0.2–2.8%). The p53-positive cells in these specimens were located only within areas of Ki-67-positive cells. In conclusion, p53-protein overexpression occurs as an early event in approximately 70% of well-differentiated adenocarcinomas of the gall-bladder, and this alteration is maintained during progression from intramucosal to invasive carcinoma. p53 immunostaining can distinguish malignant from benign lesions of the gall-bladder. 相似文献

Necrotizing sialometaplasia (NS) is a benign condition that usually involves the hard palate and can be mistaken for invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In this study, we have demonstrated that p53 and Ki-67 staining may assist in the differential diagnosis of NS from SCC. Thirteen cases of NS and 20 cases of oral cavity SCC were randomly selected from our surgical pathology archive from 1992 to 2009. Each case was additionally stained with Ki-67, p53, BCL-2, p16, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies. All 13 cases of NS were negatively stained for BCL-2, EGFR, and Ki-67. Three cases (23%) showed weak and focal positive nuclear staining for p53. Two cases (15%) showed positive staining for p16. In 16 well-differentiated SCC cases, p53 was positive in 12 cases (75%); BCL-2, p16, EGFR were positive in 3 cases (18%); and Ki-67 was positive in all cases (100%). In 4 moderately differentiated SCC cases, p53 expression was positive in all cases. Two tumors (50%) had a positive expression of BCL-2. Three cases (75%) had a positive p16 staining, and 1 (25%) had a positive EGFR staining. All cases were positive with high nuclear staining greater than 35% of cells for Ki-67. Ki-67 and p53 showed more intense staining and increased in moderately differentiated SCC comparing with well-differentiated SCC and NS. BCL-2, EGFR, and p16 had the same pattern of staining with the same extent in NS and SCCs. The diagnosis of NS may be difficult and may be supplemented via immunohistochemistry by demonstrating focal or absent p53, low to absent Ki-67 (<10% of cells). Although Ki-67 and p53 staining are generally more intense and are increased in malignancy, these findings may be helpful adjuncts in the differential diagnosis of NS from SCC in appropriate clinical setting. 相似文献

目的:探讨p53,Ki-67及E-钙黏蛋白(E-cadherin)在三阴性乳腺癌(triple negative breast cancer,TNBC)组织中的表达及预后的关系.方法:采用免疫组织化学法检测52例TNBC和52例非三阴性乳腺癌(non-triple-negative breast cancer,NTNBC)组织中p53,Ki-67及E-cadherin表达情况,观察3个指标与TNBC患者临床病理学特征及预后的关系.结果:TNBC组织中p53,Ki-67及E-cadherin的阳性表达率分别为67.3%,80.8%,26.9%;而在NTNBC组织中为44.2%,61.5%,48.1%(均P<0.05).在TNBC组织中,p53表达阳性与肿瘤大小、TNM分期及组织学分级有关(均P<0.05);Ki-67表达阳性与TNM分期、淋巴结转移有关(均P<0.05);E-cadherin表达阳性与肿瘤大小、TNM分期、淋巴结转移有关(均P<0.05).在TNBC患者中,p53,Ki-67及E-cadherin表达阳性者与阴性者总体生存率(overall survival,OS)的差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).Cox回归分析多因素显示:淋巴结转移、p53、Ki-67及E-cadherin表达是影响TNBC患者总体生存率的独立预后因素(均P<0.05).结论:TNBC组织中,p53、Ki-67高表达,其表达阳性者预后差,E-cadherin低表达,其表达阳性者预后良好.联合检测p53、Ki-67及E-cadherin表达可为TNBC患者的治疗提供新靶点. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of the expression of p53 and Ki-67 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using immunocytochemical detection. All consecutive NSCLC cases were selected for study, and, after surgery, a part of each tumor sample was frozen at -20 degrees C and stored for immunocytochemical studies. Overexpression of p53 was associated significantly with worse patient outcome in stage I disease, whereas no excess risk was evident in stage II and III cases. The same pattern was observed for Ki-67 expression. The excess risk in stage I cases with p53 and Ki-67 overexpression was observed only in adenocarcinoma. These findings are in agreement with other retrospective studies and support the hypothesis that p53 alteration may have different roles in adenocarcinoma and in squamous cell carcinoma, such as a carcinogenic factor for both cellular types but progression only for adenocarcinoma. 相似文献

We performed an immunohistochemical study with monoclonal antibodies to Ki-67 antigen and p53 protein on 45 cases of thymic epithelial tumors classified according to the recent World Health Organization (WHO) classification system to evaluate whether there is correlation between the expression of these markers and prognosis, histologic subtype, and myasthenia gravis (MG). We also correlated histologic subtype with sex, age, MG, and survival. Ki-67 and p53 labeling indices (LIs) were expressed as a percentage of positive nuclear immunostaining by counting 1,000 epithelial tumor cells. Statistically significant differences were found between Ki-67 LI and survival (p = 0.007), whereas the prognostic implication of p53 could not be demonstrated, although there appeared a trend that patients with tumors of higher LIs had worse survival. Significant correlations were also found between Ki-67 (p < 0.0005) and p53 (p < 0.0005) LIs and histologic subtypes. No correlation was found between these parameters and MG. Histologic subtypes of the WHO classification also correlated with survival (p = 0.01), whereas no correlation was found with sex, age, and MG. In conclusion, our results indicate that the proliferative activity, assessed by Ki-67 LI, and the histologic pattern, according to WHO classification system, seems to represent reliable parameters in the prognosis of thymic epithelial tumors. 相似文献

Impact of p53 and Ki-67 in predicting recurrence and progression of superficial (pTa and pT1) urothelial cell carcinomas of urinary bladder 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In predicting the aggressive behavior of bladder tumors, the histopathological characteristics of grade and invasive stage are of principal importance. However, for predicting tumor recurrence and progression, these are sufficient only to a limited extent, particularly in the case of superficial (pTa and pT1) urothelial cell carcinomas. New prognostic factors are therefore needed to avoid either insufficient or excessive treatment. In this retrospective study, we investigated the prognostic value of the p53 and Ki-67 immunoreactivity indices. The present study included 118 superficial urinary bladder tumors consisting of 58 recurrent and 60 non-recurrent cases. Twenty of the recurrent tumors progressed into a higher grade and/or invasive stage. Paraffin immunohistochemical analysis was carried out using anti-p53 and anti-Ki-67 antibodies on the initial tumor tissues. We concluded that there is a highly significant relationship between the p53 and Ki-67 immunoreactivities and the histological grade and pathological stage of the tumors (P < 0.0001). We observed a significant relationship between the presence of recurrence and progression and the p53 immunoreactivity index (P < 0.01 and P = 0.017, respectively) and Ki-67 immunoreactivity index (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.046, respectively). Positivity for p53 and Ki-67 can demonstrate the risk of recurrence (p53: sensitivity = 76%, specificity = 58%; Ki-67: sensitivity = 86%, specificity = 48%) and progression (p53: sensitivity = 80%, specificity = 46%; Ki-67: sensitivity = 85%, specificity = 36%; ). We believe that both of these immunohistochemical markers can be considered valuable in addition to classical histopathological prognostic parameters for predicting recurrence and progression risks. 相似文献

AIMS: Although p27Kip1(p27) is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and a contribution to tumorigenesis has been hypothesized, the possible role in tumours arising in the nasal and paranasal sinus regions is still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy-six sinonasal tumours, including 28 inverted papillomas (IPs) and 48 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), were immunohistochemically investigated, along with 46 exophytic papillomas (EPs) of upper respiratory tract and 34 samples of normal paranasal sinus epithelium. The results were also compared with expression of p21WAF1 (p21) and p53, cell proliferation assessed in terms of Ki67 labelling indices (LIs), and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The average p27 scores decreased from normal through to malignant lesions, while Ki67 LI scores showed a stepwise increase, the inverse correlation between scores for all categories being significant (r = - 0.639, P < 0. 0001). In the SCCs, p27 expression was significantly higher in keratinizing than nonkeratinizing type tumours (P < 0.05), while there was no association with p21 and p53 expression. Although HPV DNAs for type 16 and 18 were detected in two (7.4%) of 27 EPs, six (35.8%) of 28 IPs, and nine (28.1%) of 32 SCCs, no relation with p27 scores was evident. CONCLUSION: Loss of p27 expression correlates with increased cell proliferation in sinonasal tumours. Moreover, the expression appears to be associated with keratinization in SCCs of the paranasal sinus. These findings indicate that p27 expression may be a useful marker for the dysregulation of cell kinetics in these tumours. 相似文献

Receptor status, proliferative activity, loss of differentiation, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, and overexpression of oncogenes are related events that may affect the prognosis of patients with breast cancer. Ninety-seven unselected breast carcinomas were immunostained for estrogen and progesterone receptors, Ki-67 proliferation-associated antigen, p53 tumor suppressor gene product (p53), and c-erbB-2 protein. Immunohistochemical results and clinical data were compared. Altered p53 expression (regarded as indirect indication of inactivating gene alterations) was found in 25.8% of cases and was associated with a high Ki-67 labeling index, high mitotic count, and high histologic grade, with c-erbB-2 overexpression, and with negative estrogen and progesterone receptor status. p53 immunostaining could be found also in cytologic samples and correlated with p53 immunoreactivity on frozen sections of the corresponding tumors. c-erbB-2 protein overexpression was seen in 24.7% of cases and was associated with p53 altered expression and negative receptor status. Double immunohistochemical staining showed p53 and c-erbB-2 immunoreactivity in the same cells. Median and mean +/- standard deviation Ki-67 labeling index values were 15 and 16.32 +/- 10.05, respectively. Ki-67 labeling index was correlated with high mitotic count and was positively associated with histologic grade, negative progesterone receptor status, and p53 expression. Estrogen receptor status was not associated with any histologic or clinical parameters, whereas progesterone receptor status was associated with grading. The direct relation of p53 protein alterations with c-erbB-2 overexpression may be interpreted in light of the multistep model of tumor progression. Cases with altered expression of both p53 and c-erbB-2 proteins could be interpreted as having lost one inhibitory control mechanism of cell proliferation and having gained one activator of the malignant potential. However, in comparing cases with the p53 + c-erbB-2 + phenotype with cases showing positivity for only one of these gene products, no association with higher stages was seen. Detection of p53 altered expression on cytologic samples of malignant tumors may have diagnostic relevance, and p53 immunostaining may prove to be an additional diagnostic criterion in cytologic diagnosis. 相似文献

Minimal deviation melanoma is a controversial entity encompassing a heterogeneous group of lesions cytologically in the spectrum between recognized subtypes of nevi and conventional "primary configuration" melanomas and reported to have a better prognosis than the latter. To evaluate the distinctiveness of minimal deviation melanoma, Ki-67 proliferation rates and p53 expression in minimal deviation melanomas were compared with those in compound nevi, Spitz nevi, and vertical growth phase superficial spreading malignant melanoma. Twelve examples of each lesion were immunostained with antibodies to the Ki-67 and p53 proteins and evaluated by a pathologist who was blind to the diagnoses. The mean Ki-67 (MIB-1) proliferation rates for the compound nevi, Spitz nevi, minimal deviation melanomas, and superficial spreading malignant melanomas were 0, 3%, 13%, and 25%, respectively. The mean Ki-67 proliferation rate was statistically greater in the minimal deviation melanomas than in the compound nevi or the Spitz nevi (P <.05), but the proliferation rates in the two melanoma subtypes were not statistically significant (P =.08). The mean p53 values for these lesions were 0, 9%, 9%, and 26%, respectively; the latter two were statistically different (P <.01). Based on these Ki-67 and p53 immunophenotypes, minimal deviation melanoma may represent a distinct entity. 相似文献
