目的 研究缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)与基质金属蛋白酶-2(MMP-2)在低分化胃癌中的表达,并探讨两者在低分化胃癌浸润、转移过程中的相互关系及作用。方法 采用SP免疫组化方法,检测54例低分化胃癌及20例正常胃组织石蜡标本中HIF-1α和MMP-2蛋白表达水平。结果 低分化胃癌组织中HIF-1α和MMP-2蛋白表达阳性率明显高于正常胃组织(Plt;0.05)。两者的表达与肿瘤的浸润深度、淋巴转移和TNM分期均有关(Plt;0.05),HIF-1α与MMP-2的表达呈正相关(r=0.580, Plt;0.05)。结论 HIF-1α和MMP-2在低分化胃癌的侵袭、转移过程中存在一定的协同作用,两者可能成为判断胃癌预后的指标。
Objective To investigate the role of DNA methylation on regulation of cell apoptosis and proliferation in ischemia-reperfusion of small intestine. Methods Thirty-five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, and ischemia-reperfusion group. The apoptotic cell was assessed by TUNEL and electron microscopy and the expression of Ki-67 was examined by immunohistochemistry in the small intestinal parts (villi epithe-lium, crypt epithelium, and lamina propria mucosa of small intestine). The DNA methylation was detected by DNA histo-endonuclease-linked detection of methylated DNA sites. Results ①The apoptotic positive cells increased at 3 h, 6 h,and 12 h after ischemia-reperfusion in the villi epithelium, crypt epithelium, and lamina propria mucosa of small intestine as compared with the normal group and sham operation group (P<0.01);Moreover, the apoptotic cells in the lamina propria mucosa of small intestine were identified as T cells by electron microscopy. ②The expressions of Ki-67 markedly increased at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion in the villi epithelium cells as compared with the normal group and sham operation group (P<0.01). ③The weak expression of DNA methylation was found in the villi epith-elium and crypt epithelium in the normal group and sham operation group, the b expression was examined in the crypt epithelium cells nearby stem cell site in the ischemia-reperfusion of small intestine, the change of expression was gradually weak from crypt epithelium to villi epithelium. Conclusion This initial results indicate that the DNA methyl-ation in the ischemia-reperfusion of small intestine might regulate cell apoptosis and proliferation.
