Lenti-virus expression system was used to construct OCM-1, MuM-2 B and M619 cell line with stable overexpression and inhibition of microR NA-21. In vitro cell function tests such as cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell circle and abilities of migration and invasion were examined by MTT, Brd U assay, flow cytometry, transwell assay and Matrigel invasion assay respectively. The target gene was predicted by bioinformatics and confirmed by using a dual luciferase reporter assay. The expression of p53 and its suspected downstream targets LIM and SH3 protein 1(LASP1) and glutathione S transferase pi(GST-Pi) were determined by qR T-PCR in mR NA level and Western blotting analysis in protein level. Finally, the effect of microR NA-21 in a xenograft tumor model was assessed in four-week-old BALB/c nude mice. RESULTS: Compared to normal uveal melanoma, expressions of micro RNA-21 were significantly higher in uveal melanoma cell lines. Overexpression of microR NA-21 promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion of OCM-1, M619 and MuM-2 B cells, while inhibition of microR NA-21 reveal opposite effects. Wild type p53 was identified as a target gene of micro RNA-21-3 p, and proved by dual luciferase reporter assay. Up-regulated micro RNA-21 inhibited the expression of wild type p53 gene, and the increased expression of LASP1 in mR NA level and protein level, while down-regulated microR NA-21 presented opposite way. However, GST-pi showed the potential pattern as expected, but relative mR NA level showed no statistically significant difference in OCM-1 cells. Furthermore, the mR NA expression of GST-pi was decreased in microR NA-21 overexpressing Mu M-2 B, and increased in M619 cells with inhibition of microR NA-21. In vivo, inhibition of microR NA-21 reduced tumor growth with statistically significant difference.CONCLUSION: These findings provide novel insight into molecular etiology of microR NA-21 in uveal melanoma cell lines, and suggest that microR NA-21 might be a potential candidate for the diagnosis and prognostic factor of human uveal melanoma.展开更多

The results showed that p53 protein expression was high in 75% of small intestine cancer, and positive in 21.1% of the tissues close to cancer. In 7 cases of small intestinal adenoma, only one was immunoreactive. Sixteen samples of normal tissue of the intestine didn’t show expression of p53protein. The study also found that the degree of p53protein expression was significantly correlated with that of tumor cell differentiation, invasion, metastasis and prognosis.展开更多

The cellproliferative activity and the frequency of lymph nodemetastasis in p53- positive tumors were significantlyhigher than those in p53-negative tumors (P<0.05). Thesurvival rate in patients with p53- positive tumors wassignificantly poorer than those with p53- negative tumors(P<0.05). Our results suggest that the abnormalexpression of p53 and cell proliferation associated withmutations are involved in both human carcinogenesis andlymph node metastasis of colorectal cancer. Examinationof p53 expression is of value in understanding the degreeof malignancy, and evaluating prognosis of the disease.展开更多

HPV 16/18-DNA was found in 24 cases of laryngeal papillomas (68. 8 %). Overexpression of P53 protein was detected in 19 cases (54. 3 % ). Both HPV16/18-DNA and overexpression of P53 protein were demon-strated in 12 cases of laryngeal papillomas (34. 3 % ). Our results suggest that HPV16/l8 infection and P53 gene mutation are associated with pathogenesis of la-ryngeal papillomas. The relation between HPV infection and P53 mutation in tis-sues of laryngeal papillomas remains to be clarified.展开更多

Methods With four-vessel occlusion model of rats, the expression of p53, p21 proteins in brain tissue using labeled streptavindin-biotin immunohistochemical (LAAB) suming were observed. Re sults: The expression of p53, p21 proteins in brain was upregulated after reperfusion following 15 min forebrain ischemia and their distribution was similar. p53 and p21 proteins in brian sections was detected earlier in the white matter of hippocampal formation, thalamus, hypothalamus (6 h following reperfusion) than in the neuronal nuclei in cerebral cortex and CA1 region (24h), and the maximal induction was observed at 72 h following reperfusion. CA1 region suffered the most serious injury, where the positive expression of p53 and off proteins was most. Conclusion: Reperfusion following forebrain ischemia could upregulate the expression of p53 and p21 proteins in the brain region, suggesting that p53 and p21 proteins participate in and possibly promote the apoptosis of ’DND.展开更多

Methods: The cerebral IR injury rat model was established referring to Pulsinelli 4-vessel occlusion method. Thirty-six SD rats were randomly and evenly divided into the control group, the IR group and the IR plus EA (IR-EA) group. The animals in the control group were subjected to electrocauterization of vertebral arteries in bilateral flank orifice alone with the general carotid arteries unoccluded.To rats in the IR-EA group, immediately and 24h, 48h, 72h after cerebral IR, EA treatment on bilateral acupoint "Zusanli"(ST36) was applied once a day, lasting for 60 minutes. After the final treatment, all the rats were sacrificed and their brains were taken to examine p53 protein expression by the immunohistochemical method. Results: Cells with positive p53 immunoreactivity in the cerebral cortex of rats in the IR group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P＜0.05), while that in the IR-EA group was significantly lower than that in the IR group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: EA could remarkably reduce expression of p53 protein in the cerebral cortex of senile rats with global cerebral IR injury, which might be one of the means for EA to inhibit neuronal apoptosis after cerebral IR injury.展开更多

Specimens of BCC were collected from 40 cases (aged 28-68 y) at the Department of Pathology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, and Depart-ment of Pathology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University during from 1999 to 2006. Five specimens of paracancerous tissues served as control group. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of COX-2 and p53 in the tissues. The average absorbance (A) and the average positive area rate of COX-2 and p53 protein were measured by image analysis. The positive area rate of COX-2 and p53 protein was analyzed by linear correlation analysis. It was found that COX-2 and p53 proteins were highly expressed in BCC of eyelid, and weakly expressed in paracancerous tissues. Image analysis revealed that the expression of COX-2 and p53 proteins in BCC of eyelid was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between the expression of COX-2 and p53 (r=0.113, P=0.421). It was concluded that COX-2 can increase the expression of p53 protein, therefore suppressing apoptosis.展开更多

METHODS: The role of p53 and PML in regulating cy-totoxicity and gene transfer mediated by wild-type (wt) PV H-1 were explored in two pairs of isogenic human hepatoma cell lines with different p53 status. Further-more,H-1 PV infection was combined with cytostatic drug treatment. RESULTS: While the HCC cells with different p53 status studied were all susceptible to H-1 PV-induced apoptosis,the cytotoxicity of H-1 PV was morepronounced in p53-negative than in p53-positive cells. Apoptosis rates in p53-negative cell lines treated by genotoxic drugs were further enhanced by a treatment with H-1 PV. In flow cytometric analyses,H-1 PV infection resulted in a reduction of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. In addition,H-1 PV cells showed a significant increase in PML expression. Knocking down PML expression resulted in a striking reduction of the level of H-1 PV infected tumor cell death. CONCLUSION: H-1 PV is a suitable agent to circumvent the resistance of p53-negative HCC cells to genotoxic agents,and it enhances the apoptotic process which is dependent on functional PML. Thus,H-1 PV and its oncolytic vector derivatives may be considered as therapeutic options for HCC,particularly for p53-negative tumors.展开更多

Methods: Immunohistochemistry for HPV and p53 were performed in 40 specimens of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues using a polyclonal (rabbit) antibody against HPV and a monoclonal (mouse) antibody against human p53 protein. Twenty one cases of CA and nineteen cases of SCC were examined. Results: HPV antigen was detected in all 21 CA and 2 penile SCC. p53 protein overexpression was observed in 12 of 19 (63%) SCC in which 6 cases were strong positive. Five of 21 CA (24%)showed low-grade p53 protein overexpression. Conclusion: CA is related to HPV infection and some cases show p53 protein low-grade overexpression. In contrast, p53 protein overexpression is common in penile SCC, which is seldom related to HPV infection.展开更多

文摘AIM: To reveal the insight mechanism of liver metastasis in uveal melanoma, we investigated cell functions of microR NA-21 in three different uveal melanoma cell lines and analyze the relationship of target gene p53 and its downstream targets.METHODS: Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qR T-PCR) was used to detect microR NA-21 expression in normal uveal tissue and uveal melanoma cell lines. Lenti-virus expression system was used to construct OCM-1, MuM-2 B and M619 cell line with stable overexpression and inhibition of microR NA-21. In vitro cell function tests such as cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, cell circle and abilities of migration and invasion were examined by MTT, Brd U assay, flow cytometry, transwell assay and Matrigel invasion assay respectively.

文摘To determine the immunoreactive pattem of human papillomavirus (HPV) antigen and p53 protein in condylomata acuminatum (CA) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of penis. Methods: Immunohistochemistry for HPV and p53 were performed in 40 specimens of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues using a polyclonal (rabbit) antibody against HPV and a monoclonal (mouse) antibody against human p53 protein. Twenty one cases of CA and nineteen cases of SCC were examined. Results: HPV antigen was detected in all 21 CA and 2 penile SCC. p53 protein overexpression was observed in 12 of 19 (63%) SCC in which 6 cases were strong positive. Five of 21 CA (24%)showed low-grade p53 protein overexpression. Conclusion: CA is related to HPV infection and some cases show p53 protein low-grade overexpression. In contrast, p53 protein overexpression is common in penile SCC, which is seldom related to HPV infection.
