【摘要】 目的 研究肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体（TRAIL）蛋白对SKOV3移植瘤细胞半胱天冬氨酸蛋白酶-3（Caspase-3）表达的影响及其与肿瘤细胞凋亡的关系。 方法 建立雌性裸小鼠SKOV3移植瘤24只，随机分为4组，每组6只。TRAIL组单用重组人TRAIL蛋白（10 μg/kg），顺铂（DDP）组单用DDP（3 mg/kg），TRAIL+DDP组联合使用TRAIL蛋白（10 μg/kg）和DDP（3 mg/kg），空白对照组给予0.5 mL生理盐水。经处理后，各组的组织切片用免疫组织化学染色检测Caspase-3的表达和末端脱氧核苷酸转移酶介导核苷酸缺口标记技术（TUNEL）检测肿瘤细胞凋亡指数。 结果 Caspase-3的表达水平在TRAIL组（171.67±14.38）、DDP组（172.50±14.75）、联合组（230.00±40.99）中均明显高于对照组（135.83±16.25）（Plt;0.05）。SKOV3移植瘤细胞凋亡指数在空白对照组、TRAIL组、DDP组和联合组分别为16.67±5.43、33.17±8.42、24.33±4.59和40.50±6.16，TRAIL组和联合组细胞凋亡指数较空白对照组和DDP组明显增高（Plt;0.05）。 结论 TRAIL蛋白使卵巢癌移植瘤细胞的Caspase-3表达增强，TRAIL蛋白促进肿瘤细胞凋亡发生。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the effects of Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) on the expression of Cysteine/aspartic acid specific protease- 3 (Caspase-3) in SKOV3 ovarian tumor cells and its relationship with the apoptosis of the ovarian tumor xenografts in nude mice. Methods Twenty-four nude mice with SKOV3 cell line ovarian tumor were randomly divided into four groups with 6 in each group. TRAIL (10 μg/kg) was given to the mice in the TRAIL group; DDP (3 μg/kg) was given to the mice in the DDP group; TRAIL (10 μg/kg) and DDP (3 μg/kg) were given to the mice in the TRAIL+DDP group; and 0.5 mL of saline solution was give to the mice in the control group. The expression of Caspase-3 was detected with immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis index (AI) of cells was determined by Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Results The expression of Caspase-3 in the TRAIL group (171.67±14.38), DDP group (172.50±14.75), and TRAIL+DDP group (230.00±40.99) was significantly higher than that in the control group (135.83±16.25) (Plt;0.05). The apoptosis index for the control group, TRAIL group, DDP group and TRAIL+DDP group was 16.67±5.43, 33.17±8.42, 24.33±4.59, and 40.50±6.16, respectively. The apoptosis index for the TRAIL group and the TRAIL+DDP group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the DDP group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Soluble TRAIL has an effect on enhancing the expression of Caspase-3 in implanted tumor in nude mice. TRAIL protein can inhibit the growth of SKOV3 cells in nude mice by inducing cell apoptosis.
Objective To investigate the expression and clinicopathological features of fumarate hydratase (FH) in multiple leiomyoma of the uterus. Methods Relevant clinicopathological data of patients with multiple leiomyoma of the uterus diagnosed pathologically between September 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019 were collected from the Department of Pathology of West China Second University Hospital. The morphology, FH protein expression and prognosis of FH negative patients were observed. Results A total of 900 patients were included. Among them, there were 825 cases of nonatypical leiomyomas, 36 cases of leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei, 34 cases of cellular leiomyoma and 5 cases of mitotically active leiomyoma. A total of 69 patients with negative FH expression were included, with an average age of (37.28±8.22) years. Among them, there were 43 cases of nonatypical leiomyomas, 19 cases of leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei, 6 cases of cellular leiomyoma, and 1 cases of mitotically active leiomyoma. At low magnification, staghorn shaped blood vessels, alveolar pattern edema, palisade distribution of smooth muscle cells and bizarre nuclei smooth muscle cells could be seen in patients with negative FH expression. At high magnification, cytoplasmic eosinophilicglobules andeosinophilic nucleolus surrounded by a halo could be seen in patients with negative FH expression. Among the 69 cases with negative FH expression, 60 cases (86.96%, 60/69) were followed up. All patients survived, of which 24 cases (40%, 24/60) recurred. Conclusion Immunohistochemically, the marker FH for multiple leiomyoma of the uterus is helpful to improve the identification of FH deficient leiomyoma in clinical work as well as early diagnosis in hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell cancer syndrome.
