[์˜๋ฌธ]Telomerase activity is not detected in most normal cells, but its high expression has been widely reported in most human cancers. However, telomerase activity in precancerous lesions of the lung cancers, especially of peripheral located adenocarcinomas has not been studied well. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of telomerase in premalignant lesions of urethane-induced mouse lung adenocarcinoma. We harvested A/J mouse lung tissues at 3, 6, 9, 12, 28, 41, and 48 weeks after intraperitoneal urethane treatment and classified each lesion as histologic findings. And then we examined telomerase activity by modified telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay using both gel-based and ELISA methods. Immunohistochemical analyses of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and K-ras oncogene protein, one of pulmonary adenocarcinoma-specific genetic mutation products were performed to compare with telomerase activity. In urethane-induced mouse lung tissues it was sequentially developed from alveolar hyperplasia (AH), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), and eventually to adenocarcinoma. Telomerase activity began to show positive level in mouse lung tissues with no histologically visible nodule formation after urethane administration. It also revealed statistically significant increase in AH lesions compared to control lung tissues (p<0.05), and then was proportionally elevated to precancerous AAH, BAC, and adenocarcinoma. There was a direct correlation between telomerase activity, PCNA labeling index (LI) and K-ras expression (p<0.05). PCNA LI and K-ras expression were significantly higher from AAH compared to control lung tissues. In conclusion, the elevation of telomerase activity in normal-appearing lung lesions is thought to be a possible marker of early detection of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.ope

[์˜๋ฌธ]I-cadherin is a calcium-dependent epithelial adhesion molecule which plays a role in the initial step of invasion of cancer cells. The step that follows the migration of separated tumor cells is a proteolytic lysis of basement membrane and extracellular matrix by enzymatic protease of basement membrane of epithelial and endothelial cells such as matrix metalloproteinase(MMP). Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is known to be an endothelial cell-specific powerful mitogen as well as a vascular permeability factor, This study is to examine the correlation between expression of these factors and pathologic or clinical variables and to evaluate the roles and prognostic significance of those factors 3nd relationship among these factors. Immunohistochemical stains were performed for E-cadherin, MMP-2, and VEGF in surgically resected specimens from 90 patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma. Mean age of the patients was 59.7 years. Histologic type was categorized into 56 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 34 cases of adenocarcinoma. Mean survival period of the 35 patients was 54 months. The immunohistochemical stains for E-cadherin, MMP-2, and VEGF revealed positive reaction in 67 cases(74.4%), 43 cases(47.8%), and 34 cases(37.8%), respectively. The adenocarcinoma(82.4%) than in squamous cell carcinoma(69.6%). MMP-2 was expressed in the tumor cells, especially those invading into the surrounding stroma. The expression of MMP-2 was significantly correlated with the survival rate(p<0.05). The expression of VEGF in the tumor cells was significantly higher in cases with Iymph node metastasis(p<0.05). In conclusion, these findings suggest that the expression of MMP-2 and VEGF predict poor prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma and that VEGF may play a role in tumor metastasis.ope
