PD-L1和CD147在口腔鳞癌中的表达与临床意义

目的:探讨口腔鳞癌组织中免疫共刺激分子PD-L1与细胞外基质蛋白酶诱导因子CD147的表达、两者的相关性及临床意义。方法:应用免疫组化技术检测66例口腔鳞癌组织及36例正常口腔黏膜组织中PD-L1和CD147的表达,分析PD-L1、CD147表达的相关性及二者与口腔鳞癌临床病理参数的关系。结果:PD-L1在口腔鳞癌组织中表达阳性率为68.18%(45/66),正常口腔黏膜组织中表达阳性率仅为16.67%(6/36);CD147在口腔鳞癌组织中表达阳性率为74.24%(49/66),明显高于其在正常口腔黏膜组织中的表达13.88%(5/36)。PD-L1和CD147两者在口腔鳞癌组织中阳性表达率与口腔黏膜组织相比均明显升高(P0.01)。统计学分析显示,PD-L1和CD147在口腔鳞癌组织中的高表达与患者的性别年龄、吸烟史及肿瘤的体积等因素无明显相关,但与TNM分期及鳞癌的组织分化程度紧密相关。口腔鳞癌组织中PD-L1与CD147两者相关性分析r=0.342,P值小于0.01,说明二者的表达呈显著正相关。结论:口腔鳞癌组织中PD-L1与CD147均呈高表达,并且二者的过度表达可能与口腔鳞癌的发生、发展关系密切,合并检测二者可能为OSCC的诊疗及预后指明新的方向,为口腔鳞癌的靶向治疗提供新的靶点。

Distribution of endocrine cells in the digestive tract of Alligator sinensis during the active and hibernating period

The digestive tract is the largest endocrine organ in the body; the distribution pattern of endocrine cells varies with different pathological and physiological states. The aim of the present study was to investigate the distributed density of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), gastrin (GAS), somatostatin (SS) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) immunoreactive (IR) cells in the digestive tract of Alligator sinensis during the active and hibernating period by immunohistochemical (IHC) method. The results indicated that 5-HT-IR cells were distributed throughout the entire digestive tract, which were most predominant in duodenum and jejunum. The density increased significantly in stomach and duodenum during hibernation. GAS-IR cells were limited in small stomach and small intestine. The density decreased significantly in small stomach during hibernation, while increased in duodenum. What's more, most of the endocrine cells in duodenum were generally spindle shaped with long cytoplasmic processes ending in the lumen during hibernation. SS-IR cells were limited in stomach and small stomach. The density increased in stomach while decreased in small stomach during hibernation, meanwhile, fewer IR cells occurred in small intestine. VIP-IR cells occurred in stomach and small stomach. The density decreased in small stomach, while increased in stomach during hibernation. These results indicated that the endocrine cells in different parts of digestive tract varied differently during hibernation, their changes were adaptive response to the hibernation.     

Immunohistochemical localization of IAA and ABP1 in strawberry shoot apexes during floral induction

By using an anti-indole-acetic acid (anti-IAA) monoclonal antibody and an anti-auxin-binding protein 1 (anti-ABP1) polyclonal antibody, IAA and ABP1 were immunohistochemically localized in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.) shoot apexes during floral induction. The spatial distribution patterns of endogenous IAA and ABP1 and their dynamic changes during floral induction were investigated. In addition, the affect of 1-N-naphthylphtalamic acid (NPA) on IAA distribution during floral induction was also analyzed. The results showed that IAA was present in the shoot apexes throughout the floral induction process, gradually concentrating in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). The distribution of ABP1 and its dynamic changes were similar to those of IAA. In addition, the ABP1 immune signal in SAM gradually increased as floral induction developed. On a morphological level, these results indicate both the spatial distribution and dynamic changes in endogenous IAA and ABP1 during the floral induction process. The close correlation found between IAA and ABP1 indicates that a cooperation occurs during the regulation of floral induction. The results also suggest that IAA was the significant agent for floral induction, and that SAM might be the place of the main action. Treatment with NPA during floral induction prevented the accumulation of IAA in the SAM, delayed the process of floral differentiation and induced an abnormal flower development. It is likely that IAA in the shoot apex is produced in young leaves and transported through the vascular tissues to the SAM and other places of function. Finally, an appropriate amount of IAA in the SAM and normal polar auxin transport are essential for floral induction and differentiation in strawberries.     

慢性缺氧对大鼠肺内皮素表达的影响

本文以ＡＢＣ法和原位杂交技术,观察了慢性缺氧时大鼠肺组织内内皮素－１（ＥＴ－１）的表达情况,结果发现：①正常肺血管内皮细胞有少许ＥＴ－１样阳性染色物质呈现。②缺氧ＩＷ后,肺内ＥＴ－１含量增加,主要位于肺血管内皮细胞和支气管粘膜上皮细胞。③缺氧２Ｗ和３Ｗ后,ＥＴ１阳性免疫物质进一步增加,于肺泡细胞内也见到阳性染色。④缺氧１Ｗ后肺内ＥＴ－１ｍＲＮＡ表达增加,缺氧２Ｗ和３Ｗ后,ＥＴ－１ｍＲＮＡ的表达进一步加强。提示缺氧可刺激肺内ＥＴ－１ｍＲＮＡ的表达,慢性缺氧时肺内ＥＴ－１持续分泌增加,这可能是缺氧性肺动脉高压发生的重要因素之一。

Catecholaminergic and peptidergic nerve components of intramural ganglia in the rat heart

Summary Immunohistochemical properties of the terminal nerve network in the rat heart were assessed by use of the elution-restaining method. The colocalization of the enzymes involved in catecholamine synthesis (tyrosine hydroxylase — TH, dopamine--hydroxylase — DBH) as well as the respective distributions of the neuropeptides associated with the adrenergic nervous system (neuropeptide tyrosine — NPY, C-terminal flanking peptide of neuropeptide Y — C-PON) were studied in series of serial sections throughout the interatrial septum and the atrioventricular junction. Our data suggest that ganglion cells of sulcus terminalis as well as the epicardial ganglia enclosed between the superior vena cava and ascending aorta are VIP- and TH-negative, but neuropeptide Y- and DBH-immunoreactive. They give rise to three intraseptal nerves directed towards the specialised structures of the atrioventricular junction. These nerve fascicles contain abundant, thick TH-immunoreactive nerve fibres and scarce, thin NPY- and DBH-immunoreactive fibres. The cell bodies of the intramural ganglion cells localized between the right and left branches of the bundle of His (Moravec and Moravec 1984) are strongly TH- and DBH-immunoreactive. They are innervated by thick nerve fibres having the same immunohistochemical properties (NPY- and DBH-immunoreactivities) as those of a subpopulation of the epicardial ganglion cells and seem to supply some of the TH-immunoreactive nerve fibres directed via the intraseptal nerves to the epicardial ganglia. The existence of a multicomponent nerve network, characterized by a reciprocal innervation of the sinus node and atrioventricular node areas, is suggested by our immunohistochemical data.     

Comparative cellular localization of corticotropin and melanotropin in lerot adenohypophysis (Eliomys quercinus)

Summary Corticotropin and melanotropin producing cells were localized in the adenohypophysis of normal Lerots by using antibodies against synthetic corticotropins (anti 1–24 ACTH, anti 17–39 ACTH, anti 25–39 ACTH), and melanotropins (anti MSH, anti MSH). All the anticorticotropin sera stained the same cells both in the anterior lobe and in the intermediate lobe. The anti MSH serum only stained a few cells, exclusively located in the intermediate lobe. These MSH cells were not stained with anticorticotropin antibodies. The anti MSH serum revealed all the cells stained with anticorticotropin and anti MSH sera. Absorption tests showed that the 4–10 heptapeptide common to ACTH and MSH, is not responsible for the immunohistochemical staining. The staining of only some corticotrophs with the anti 4–10 ACTH serum might indicate the presence in these cells of a peptide with an accessible 4–10 site. These results are discussedWe thank A.
