  • EXPRESSIONS OF HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 27, Bcl-2, AND Bax PROTEINS OF NERVE CELLS AFTER SPINAL CORD ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY IN RATS

    Objective To investigate the expressions of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), Bcl-2, and Bax proteins of the nerve cells after spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury (SCII) in rats and their relationship. Methods Seventy adult male Sprague Dawley rats (weighing, 200-220 g) were randomly divided into the sham operated group (sham group, n=35) and the SCII group (n=35). Only the left renal artery was exposed with no occlusion of the abdominal aorta in the rats of sham group. The left renal artery was exposed with occlusion of the abdominal aorta for 20 minutes in the rats of SCII group. At 4, 8, and 12 hours and at 1, 2, 3, and 5 days, reperfusion treatment was performed in 5 rats respectively, and then the spinal cord tissue was harvested to detect the expressions of HSP27, Bcl-2, and Bax protein of the nerve cells by using immunohistochemistry staining. Results The HSP27 began to express at 4 hours, reached the peak at 3 days, and decreased at 5 days in SCII group; significant differences were found between at 3 and 5 days and at the other time points (P lt; 0.05). The Bcl-2 expression increased at 4 hours, reached the peak at 1 day and maintained a high level at 2 days, and then gradually decreased; significant differences were found between at 1 and 2 days and at the other time points (P lt; 0.05). The Bax expression reached the peak at 12 hours and 3 days, and decreased at 5 days; significant differences were found between at 12 hours and 3 days and at the other time points (P lt; 0.05). A little expression of each protein was observed in sham group at different time points; the expressions of HSP27, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins in SCII group were significantly higher than those in sham group at different time points (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion There may be the time window of self repair after SCII. High expression of HSP27 has an obvious protective effect on the SCII in rat, by promoting the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and reducing the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax so as to inhibit spinal cord cell apoptosis.

  • Expressions and Significance of E2F1, ID1, and Bax Protein in Gallbladder Adenocarci-noma Tissues

    Objectives To investigate the expressions and significance of E2F1, ID1, and Bax protein in gallbladder adenocarcinoma tissues. MethodsThe expressions of E2F1, ID1, and Bax protein in 70 cases of gallbladder adenocarcinoma, 20 cases of high level intraepithelial neoplasia, 30 cases of low level intraepithelial neoplasia, and 20 cases of cholecystitis tissues were tested by using immunohistochemical method. ResultsThe positive expression rates of E2F1, ID1, and Bax protein in gallbladder adenocarcinoma was 84.3%, 70.0%, and 25.7%, respectively; the positive expression rates in high level intraepithelial neoplasia was 75.0%, 65.0%, and 55.0%, respectively; the positive expression rates in low level intraepithelial neoplasia was 16.7%, 23.3%, and 56.7%, respectively; and the positive expression rates in cholecystitis tissues was 10.0%, 20.0%, and 75%, respectively.The positive expression rates of E2F1 and ID1 protein in gallbladder adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those intraepithelial neoplasia and cholecystitis tissues (P < 0.05), but the positive expression rate of Bax protein in gallbladder adenocarcinoma was lower (P < 0.05).The expressions of E2F1 and ID1 protein were significantly correlated with clinical Nevin staging of gallbladder adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05), but not correlated with the gallbladder adenocarcinoma differentiation degree (P > 0.05).The expression of Bax protein was related to the gallbladder adenocarcinoma differentiation degree (P < 0.05), but not correlated with clinical Nevin staging (P > 0.05).The expression of E2F1 protein was negatively correlated with expression of Bax protein (r=-0.375, P < 0.05), ID1 protein expression has nothing to do with the protein expression of Bax protein (P > 0.05).The expression of E2F1 protein was positively correlated with ID1 protein (r=7.031, P < 0.05). ConclusionsThe E2F1, ID1, and Bax may play an important role in the generation and development of the gallbladder adenocarcinoma.The combined detection of E2F1, ID1, and Bax have important guiding significance for auxiliary diagnosis and clinical staging of gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
