Cyclin D1 overexpression in AIDS-related and classic Kaposi sarcoma.

The anatomic distribution and rate of progression vary significantly between acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and classic KS. The reasons are unclear, but cyclin D1 overexpression is associated with tumor progression in other malignancies. Cyclin D has an important regulatory role in the progression of cell cycle at the G1-S phase due to its effect in phosphorylating the retinoblastoma gene product. Forty-one paraffin-embedded surgical specimens (31 AIDS-related, 10 classic) were examined using streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibody to cyclin D1. A scoring system based on the intensity and extent of staining was used. The correlations among cyclin D1 expression and clinicopathologic parameters were statistically analyzed. Cyclin D1 overexpression was found in 29% (12/41) of all KS cases. There was a strong correlation between cyclin D1 overexpression and pathologic stage (0% in patch stage, 13% in plaque stage, 50% in nodular stage; P = 0.0017). Classic KS lesions had a higher incidence of cyclin D1 overexpression than AIDS-related lesions (70% vs 16%, P = 0.001). Cyclin D1 overexpression was detected in 78% of the classic nodular lesions and 31% of the AIDS-related nodular lesions (P = 0.03). On multivariate analysis, negative human immunodeficiency virus status (P = 0.001) and nodular lesions (P = 0.007) were strong predictors of cyclin D1 overexpression. Age, gender, recurrence of the tumor, multiplicity, and site of the lesions hold no statistically significant association with cyclin D1 expression on multivariate analysis. In summary, cyclin D1 overexpression was more prevalent in classic lesions and more advanced nodular stage. These findings raise the possibility of a different pathogenetic mechanism in the progression of AIDS-related KS and classic KS.

幽门螺杆菌对SGC-7901细胞增殖凋亡及p27kipl表达的影响

Objective To explore the influence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of p27kipl protein of gastric epithelial cells in vitro. Methods SC, C-7901 cell pro-liferation was examined by flow cytometry after incubation with different concentration of NCTC11637. The effect of NCTC11637 on cell apoptosis was also evaluated by flow cytometryo And the expression of p27kipl of gastric epithelial cells was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results Cell proliferation was enhanced when co-incubated with the Hp in low concentration (3.4 x 104 to 1.9 x 105 CFU/ml) but inhibited in higher concentration (≥4.8×106CFU/ml). However, cell apoptosis was increase when co-incubated with the Hp in high concentration (≥9.6 ×105 CFU/ml) showing concen-tration dependent picture. In addition, the co-incubation of SGC-7901 with Hp led to decrease of the expres-sion of p27kipl protein but not mRNA in a Hp concentration dependent way. Conclusion Hp could effect the gastric epithelial cells apoptosis and proliferation directly and influence the expression of p27kips protein which might facilitate gastric carcinoma.

Analysis of microdissected prostate tissue with ProteinChip arrays--a way to new insights into carcinogenesis and to diagnostic tools

Prostate carcinomas are one of the most common malignancies in western societies. The pathogenesis of this tumor is still poorly understood. These tumors present with two characteristic features: epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, which play a pivotal role for tumor development and most of clinically manifest cancers arise in prostate proper compared to a minority of tumors which develop in the transitional zone. Deciphering the epithelial-mesenchymal cross talk and identification of molecular pecularities of the sub-populations of cells in different zones can therefore help understanding carcinogenesis and development of new, non-invasive tools for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate carcinomas which has remained a challenge until today. A ProteinChip array technology (SELDI = surface enhanced laser desorption ionization) has been developed recently by Ciphergen Biosystems enabling analysis and profiling of complex protein mixtures from a few cells. This study describes the analysis of approximately 500-1000 freshly obtained prostate cells by SELDI-TOF-MS (surface enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry). Pure cell populations of stroma, epithelium and tumor cells were selected by laser assisted microdissection. Multiple specific protein patterns were reproducibly detected in the range from 1.5 to 30 kDa in 28 sub-populations of 4 tumorous prostates and 1 control. A specific 4.3 kDa peak was increased in the prostate tumor stroma compared to normal prostate proper and transitional zone stroma and increased in prostate tumor glands compared to normal prostate proper and transitional zone glands. Coupling laser assisted microdissection with SELDI provides tremendous opportunities to identify cell and tumor specific proteins to understand molecular events underlying prostate carcinoma development. It underlines the vast potential of this technology to better understand pathogenesis and identify potential candidates for new specific biomarkers in general which could help to screen for and distinguish disease entities, i.e. between clinically significant and insignificant carcinomas of the prostate.
