    Background and objective It has been proven that gp96 plays an important role in specific cytotoxic immune response which is involved in anti-tumor effect in the body. The aim of this study is to investigate the biological significance of heat shock protein gp96 and immune-related gene CTLA-4, CD8 expressions in lung cancer tissues of different progressive stages. Methods We used Envision immunohistochemistry method to detect the levels of expression of gp96, CTLA-4, CD8 in tissue microarray, which contained 89 primary lung cancer tissues, 12 lymph node metastasis lung cancer tissues, 12 precancerous lesions and 10 normal lung tissues, and analyzed the relationship between their expressions and clinicopathological parameters. Results (1) The positive rate of gp96 in primary lung cancer was remarkably higher than that in precancerous lesion and normal lung tissue (P < 0.05). The positive rate of CTLA-4 in primary lung cancer tissue and precancerous lesion was significantly higher than that in normal lung tissue (P < 0.05). The positive rate of CD8 in primary lung cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal lung tissue (P < 0.05). The positive rate of gp96 in CD8-positive lymphocytes in the high expression group was less than that in the low group (P < 0.05). (2) The positive rate of gp96 was closely related to sex, differentiation and clinical stage (P < 0.05), but not to age, gross type, histological type and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). The positive rate of CTLA-4 was closely related to age and differentiation (P < 0.05), but not to sex, gross type, histological type, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). CD8 expression was related to clinical stage (P < 0.05), but not to sex, age, gross type, histological type, differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). The positive rates of gp96, CTLA-4 were higher than that of CD8 in squamous cell carcinoma and SCLC, respectively. (3) There was positive correlation between gp96 and CTLA-4; there was negative correlation between gp96 and CD8, and there was negative correlation between CD8 and CTLA-4 (P < 0.05). Conclusion Gene expression of PD-L1 on lung cancer cell line can decrease the cytolytic effect of CTL on target cells

    Background and objective The abnormal expression of MTAP, a tumor suppressor gene, is found in a variety of tumor tissues. The aim of this study is to detect the expression of MTAP mRNA protein and the clinical significance for the therapy of non-small cell lung cancer tissue (NSCLC). Methods The expression of MTAP protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in 52 cases of NSCLC patients. The relative expression MTAP mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results The expression of MTAP protein in NSCLC tissue was significantly lower than that in paracarcinomous tissue and borderline lung tissue respectively (t=10.283, 10.940, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference among gender, age, smoking history, histology except differentiation (t=2.310, P=0.025). The MTAP mRNA relative expression in NSCLC tissue was significantly lower than that in paracarcinomous tissue (t=9.902, P < 0.001). Conclusion Downregulation of MTAP protein and gene expression is correlated to the oncogenesis and progression of NSCLC

    致病菌引发的恶性化脓和不可控感染一直是临床治疗的一项棘手难题。当细菌侵入后,天然防御细胞如巨噬细胞、嗜中性粒细胞等立即响应,识别并吞噬致病菌的同时调动胞内线粒体和NADPH氧化酶向吞噬泡内释放大量的活性氧(ROS),进而实现杀伤和清除细菌的功能。当这类细胞不能充分发挥杀伤和清除病原体的功能时,即使入侵的细菌数量较少或是致病力不强,也可能诱发机体破损部位或组织器官产生脓肿溃烂、炎症因子风暴和组织坏死,最终导致败血症或致死性脓毒性休克。 而在这一过程中吞噬细胞如何驱动线粒体向吞噬泡募集并将产生的ROS释放到吞噬泡内就显得尤为关键,然而其中的调控机制并不为人所知。本文研究发现,Mst1和Mst2蛋...Phagocytes are specialized immune cells that engulf harmful microorganisms and destroy them in phagosomes.

    研究背景和目的 抑癌基因发生异常是癌症发生的机制之一。人类基因的很多区域发生改变时可导致细胞失控性生长。Sema3F作为肺癌19个候选抑癌基因之一,是Ⅲ型Semaphorin(即神经导向因子,最初作为Neuropilins的配体在神经系统中发挥排斥神经节轴突和调节神经系统发育的作用)家族的一个成员。目前有研究发现,与正常组织相比Sema3F蛋白在肿瘤细胞中的表达普遍存在下调的趋势,并在血管形成以及肿瘤增殖、凋亡、粘附和转移等中起着负向调节作用。此外,诸多体内或者体外实验已经证明,Sema3F的表达水平同样影响到肿瘤的发生发展等过程。以上证据提示Sema3F可能是一种潜在的肿瘤分子标记物。然而...Background and Purpose: That Tumor Supress Gene(TSG) suffered to be mutant or abnormal expression is one of mechanism contributing to the initial of cancer.

    研究背景和目的 Neuropilin2(NRP2)是一种多功能的新型受体,在神经系统发育、心血管系统、免疫系统及淋巴管生成等过程中发挥重要作用。最新研究表明,NRP2受体广泛表达于肿瘤细胞表面,与肿瘤血管形成以及肿瘤的发生发展、凋亡、粘附、侵袭和转移等生物学行为密切相关。多种肿瘤细胞均高表达NRP2,提示NRP2可能成为一种新型肿瘤标志物。NRP2通过多种机制调控肿瘤进展,NRP2-b1b2是其发挥作用的重要结构域,NRP2-b1b2结构域可以结合配体Ⅲ型Semaphorin和VEGF,并调控它们介导的相关信号通路。本文旨在通过杂交瘤技术制备抗NRP2-b1b2片段的单克隆抗体,通过鉴定该抗...Background and Purpose: Neuropilin2 (NRP2) is a multifunctional receptor, and plays vital roles in the development of nervous system, cardiovascular system, immune system and lymphangiogenesis.
