Methods: Immunohistochemistry for HPVand p53 were performed in 40 specimens of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues using a polyclonal (rabbit) anti-body against HPV and a monoclonal (mouse) antibody against human p53 protein. Twenty one cases of CA and nine-teen cases of SCC were examined. Results: HPV antigen was detected in all 21 CA and 2 penile SCC. p53 proteinoverexpression 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 showp53 protein low-grade overexpression. In contrast, p53 protein overexpression is common in penile SCC, which is sel-dom related to HPV infection. (Asian J Androl 2001 Mar; 3: 75-77)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

METHODS： The study was conducted on 41 patients with advanced HCC who were treated by repeated arterial infusion chemotherapy. Biopsy specimens from the tumor were collected before the start of treatment in all the patients, and the specimens were stored frozen until immunohistochemical staining, which was performed after the start of treatment, to detect PGP and p53 protein expressions. Twenty of the fortyone patients were treated with an anthracycline drug （epirubicin hydrochloride; anthracycline group）, and the remaining 21 were treated with a non-anthracycline drug （mitoxantrone hydrochloride in 11 patients and carboplatin in 10 patients; non-anthracycline group）. The relationship between the chemotherapeutic efficacy and the results of immunostaining were compared between the two groups. RESULTS： Before the start of the treatment, PGPpositive rate was 90.2% （strongly-positive, 36.6%） and p53 protein-positive rate was 34.1% （strongly-positive, 19.5%）. In the anthracycline group, the response rate was 40.0%. The number of patients showing poor response to the treatment was significantly larger in the patients with strongly positive PGP expression （P= 0.005）, and their prognoses were poor （P= 0.001）. in the nonanthracycline group, the response rate was 42.9%,and there was no significant relationship between the chemotherapeutic drug efficacy and the PGP or p53 protein expression. When only the data from the 11 patients treated with anthraquinone drug, mitoxantrone, were analyzed, however, the number of patients who showed poor response to treatment was significantly higher among the p53-positive patients （P= 0.012）, irrespective of the survival outcome. CONCLUSION： The chemotherapeutic efficacy with an anthracycline drug for advanced HCC can be predicted by immunohistochemical analysis of PGP expression. Similarly, immunostaining to evaluate p53 protein may be useful to predict the response in patients treated with an anthraquinone drug.展开更多

METHODS The expression of HCV NS 3 and P53 protein was detected with immunohistochemical technique (SP method) in specimens of HCC and PCLT from 47 patients with negative HBV. RESULTS The positive rate of HCV NS 3 protein was lower in HCC (62%) than in PCLT (83%) ( P <0 025). The better differentiaton of cancer cells, the stronger expression of HCV NS 3 protein ( P <0 025). The positive rate of P53 protein in HCC (81%) was higher than in PCLT (47%) ( P <0 025). The worse differentiaton of cancer cells, the stronger expression of P53 protein ( P <0 05). The P53 protein expression was not correlated with the HCV NS 3 protein expression in HCC ( P >0 5), whereas their expression was closely related to PCLT ( P <0 01), and the expression rate of P53 protein in the cases of positive HCV NS 3 protein was higher than that in the cases of negative HCV NS 3 protein. CONCLUSION HCV NS 3 protein may exert its hepatocarcinogenic effect in early stage on host cells by endogenous pathway which may bring about mutation of p53 gene and transformation of hepatocytes.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 ap-optosis after cerebral IR injury.展开更多

Methods: The histotomic sections of 48 patients with gestational trophoblastic disease and 24 patients of normal chorionic villi were stained using immunohistochemistry. The monoclonal antibodies were used to determine p53 protein and PCNA. Results: The frequency of p53 and PCNA positive expression were significantly different among the chorionic villi of normal pregnancy, hydratidiform mole (HM) and MGTD. But neither p53 nor PCNA has any relation with the clinical staging or metastasis of MGTD. Conclusion: Both P53 and PCNA are valuable in diagnosis of human gestational trophoblastic disease.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 Department 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 sig- nificantly 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

During the induction of hepatocarcinoma model, rats were additionally treated with splenectomy and/or lipopolysaccharide administration. The techniques of flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and immunoelectronmicroscopy were applied to quantitative analysis of the expression of oncogene proteins. RESULTS In this model system, overexpression of ras p21 protein mainly occurred on precancerous cell population or in early stage of hepatocyte transformation. And the levels of ras p21 declined when nuclear DNA aneuploid increased. Expression of bcl 2 protein slowly and steadily rose with more hepatocytes staying in S+G2M phases as the hepatocarcinoma became more malignant. P53 was moderately expressed during the hepatocarcinogenesis. There was no statistical correlation between endotoxemia levels and the changes of ras, p53 and bcl 2 gene products. CONCLUSION Over expression of oncogene ras p21 was likely to be a precursor of the premalignant hepatocytes and it might be responsible for the initiation of hepatocarcinogenesis. Bcl 2 protein expression is proportional to the severity of the malignancies. P53 may be a key pathway on the transformation and development of hepatocarcinoma. This study confirmed the hypothesis that there are multiple genes and multiple steps involved in hepatocarcinogenesis. Expressions of oncogene proteins reflected the properties of the premalignant and malignant cells, but not directly related to endotoxemia statistically.[JP]展开更多

Bcl 2 protein expression is proportional to the severity of the malignancies. P53 may be a key pathway on the transformation and development of hepatocarcinoma. This study confirmed the hypothesis that there are multiple genes and multiple steps involved in hepatocarcinogenesis. Expressions of oncogene proteins reflected the properties of the premalignant and malignant cells, but not directly related to endotoxemia statistically.[JP]
