Recent studies suggest that paired box 5 (PAX5) is down‐regulated in multiple tumours through its promoter methylation. However, the role of PAX5 in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pathogenesis remains unclear. The aim of this study is to examine PAX5 expression, its methylation status, biological functions and related molecular mechanism in NSCLC. We found that PAX5 was widely expressed in normal adult tissues but silenced or down‐regulated in 88% (7/8) of NSCLC cell lines. PAX5 expression level was significantly lower in NSCLC than that in adjacent non‐cancerous tissues (P = 0.0201). PAX5 down‐regulation was closely associated with its promoter hypermethylation status and PAX5 expression could be restored by demethylation treatment. Frequent PAX5 promoter methylation in primary tumours (70%) was correlated with lung tumour histological types (P = 0.006). Ectopic expression of PAX5 in silenced lung cancer cell lines (A549 and H1975) inhibited their colony formation and cell viability, arrested cell cycle at G2 phase and suppressed cell migration/invasion as well as tumorigenicity in nude mice. Restoration of PAX5 expression resulted in the down‐regulation of β‐catenin and up‐regulation of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 2, GADD45G in lung tumour cells. In summary, PAX5 was found to be an epigenetically inactivated tumour suppressor that inhibits NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis, through down‐regulating the β‐catenin pathway and up‐regulating GADD45G expression.  相似文献

Lung carcinoid cell lines have bombesin-like peptides and EGF receptors   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The biochemical properties of lung cancer cell lines were investigated. Bombesin-like peptides were present in three small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines examined and three of four lung carcinoids but not in five non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Therefore SCLC and some lung carcinoids, but not NSCLC, are enriched in neuroendocrine properties. In contrast, 125I-EGF bound with high affinity to all five NSCLC cell lines and three of four lung carcinoids but not to the three SCLC cell lines examined. For lung carcinoid cell line NCI-H727, 125I-EGF bound with high affinity (Kd = 6 nM) to a single class of sites (Bmax = 110,000/cell). The 125I-EGF bound was rapidly internalized at 37 degrees C but not 4 degrees C. Using Western blot techniques and antiphosphotyrosine antibodies, EGF induced phosphorylation of a major 170 Kd protein. Using immunoprecipitation techniques and anti-EGF receptor antibodies a major 170 Kd protein was labeled. These data indicate that biologically active EGF receptors are present on NSCLC and lung carcinoid cell lines.  相似文献

The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) SBF2 antisense RNA 1 (SBF2-AS1) was found to act as an oncogenic lncRNA in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the role of SBF2-AS1 in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) was still unclear. The purpose of this study was to provide the clinical significance and biological function of SBF2-AS1 in SCLC. In our results, SBF2-AS1 was found to be upregulated in SCLC tissues compared with NSCLC tissues or adjacent normal lung tissues. Besides, SBF2-AS1 expression was also elevated in SCLC cell lines compared with the normal bronchial epithelial cell line or NSCLC lines. Moreover, high expression of SBF2-AS1 was associated with clinical stage, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis in SCLC patients. Survival analysis showed SCLC patients with high expression of SBF2-AS1 had shorter overall survival than patients with low expression of SBF2-AS1, and high expression of SBF2-AS1 acted as an independent poor prognostic factor for overall survival in SCLC patients. The study in vitro suggested inhibition of SBF2-AS1 obviously depressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in SCLC. In conclusion, SBF2-AS1 acts as a novel oncogenic lncRNA in SCLC.  相似文献

Cytokines are key players in the biological processes of malignant tumors and special interest has been focused on cytokines exerting tumor and anti-tumor properties, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and Interleukin-18 (IL-18). Aim of this study was to assess IL-18 and VEGF levels in induced sputum of lung cancer patients at diagnosis, and assess their possible association with the histological type of cancer, the stage and the overall patient survival. Seventy six patients with a diagnosis of lung cancer were recruited and were followed up for 48months. Thirteen healthy smokers and 16 healthy non-smokers were used as control groups. VEGF and IL-18 were measured by ELISA in sputum supernatants at the time of diagnosis. Lung cancer patients had significantly higher baseline IL-18 and VEGF levels compared to healthy controls (p<0.001). No difference was found in IL-18 and VEGF levels between the various stages in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and between limited and extended small cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the ratio of VEGF/IL-18 was significantly higher in NSCLC compared to SCLC patients (p=0.018). In extended SCLC overall survival was inversely associated with baseline sputum VEGF levels (p=0.034) and estimated mortality risk was 1.14 (95% CI 1.006-1.283) for an increase of 100pg/ml in VEGF levels. Such association was not found regarding baseline IL-18 levels. VEGF levels in induced sputum may have a prognostic role in the survival of SCLC. The ratio VEGF/IL-18 in induced sputum differs between NSCLC and SCLC, indicating differences in angiogenesis mechanisms and/or immunological response in these two major histological types of lung cancer.  相似文献

Background

Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) is a central regulator of cellular metabolism, development and growth. GSK3 activity was thought to oppose tumourigenesis, yet recent studies indicate that it may support tumour growth in some cancer types including in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). We examined the undefined role of GSK3 protein kinase activity in tissue from human NSCLC.

Methods

The expression and protein kinase activity of GSK3 was determined in 29 fresh frozen samples of human NSCLC and patient-matched normal lung tissue by quantitative immunoassay and western blotting for the phosphorylation of three distinct GSK3 substrates in situ (glycogen synthase, RelA and CRMP-2). The proliferation and sensitivity to the small-molecule GSK3 inhibitor; CHIR99021, of NSCLC cell lines (Hcc193, H1975, PC9 and A549) and non-neoplastic type II pneumocytes was further assessed in adherent culture.

Results

Expression and protein kinase activity of GSK3 was elevated in 41% of human NSCLC samples when compared to patient-matched control tissue. Phosphorylation of GSK3α/β at the inhibitory S21/9 residue was a poor biomarker for activity in tumour samples. The GSK3 inhibitor, CHIR99021 dose-dependently reduced the proliferation of three NSCLC cell lines yet was ineffective against type II pneumocytes.

Conclusion

NSCLC tumours with elevated GSK3 protein kinase activity may have evolved dependence on the kinase for sustained growth. Our results provide further important rationale for exploring the use of GSK3 inhibitors in treating NSCLC.  相似文献

The role of microRNAs in small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is largely unknown. miR-34a is known as a p53 regulated tumor suppressor microRNA in many cancer types. However, its therapeutic implication has never been studied in SCLC, a cancer type with frequent dysfunction of p53. We investigated the expression of a panel of 7 microRNAs (miR-21, miR-29b, miR-34a/b/c, miR-155, and let-7a) in 31 SCLC tumors, 14 SCLC cell lines, and 26 NSCLC cell lines. We observed significantly lower miR-21, miR-29b, and miR-34a expression in SCLC cell lines than in NSCLC cell lines. The expression of the 7 microRNAs was unrelated to SCLC patients' clinical characteristics and was neither prognostic in term of overall survival or progression-free survival nor predictive of treatment response. Overexpression or downregulation of miR-34a did not influence SCLC cell viability. The expression of these 7 microRNAs also did not predict in vitro sensitivity to cisplatin or etoposide in SCLC cell lines. Overexpression or downregulation of miR-34a did not influence sensitivity to cisplatin or etoposide in SCLC cell lines. In contrast to downregulation of the miR-34a target genes cMET and Axl by overexpression of miR-34a in NSCLC cell lines, the intrinsic expression of cMET and Axl was low in SCLC cell lines and was not influenced by overexpression of miR-34a. Our results suggest that the expression of the 7 selected microRNAs are not prognostic in SCLC patients, and miR-34a is unrelated to the malignant behavior of SCLC cells and is unlikely to be a therapeutic target.  相似文献

The nuclear diameters (NDs) of randomly selected malignant cells from 35 cases of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC; 4,370 nuclei) and 31 cases of non-SCLC (NSCLC; 1,280 nuclei) were measured on the pretreatment tissue sections by ocular micrometry. The mean ND (+/- standard deviation) of malignant cells for SCLC patients was 8.1 +/- 1.5 microns; these cases included 23 oat-cell carcinomas and 12 intermediate-cell carcinomas. The ND of malignant cells for NSCLC patients was 12.8 +/- 2.2 microns; these cases included 17 squamous-cell carcinomas, 12 adenocarcinomas and 2 large-cell carcinomas. The differences of ND between SCLC and NSCLC and between intermediate-cell cancer and NSCLC were highly significant (P = 0.001). However, the malignant cells of 36 (54.5%) of the 66 lung cancer patients had NDs that overlapped in the range of 8 microns to 13 microns. For the 12 intermediate-cell patients, the NDs of the malignant cells overlapped with those of 8 (66.7%) of the 12 adenocarcinomas and 10 (58.8%) of the 17 squamous carcinomas. In contrast, the NDs of only 5 (21.7%) of the oat-cell patients overlapped with those of 5 (41.7%) of the 12 intermediate-cell cases and showed no overlap with NSCLC cases. Since there is overlapping of the nuclear diameters of malignant cells between SCLC and NSCLC patients, nuclear parameters other than the diameter are necessary to differentiate these two major histologic types of lung cancers.  相似文献

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for nearly 15% of human lung cancers and is one of the most aggressive solid tumors. The SCLC cells are thought to derive from self-renewing pulmonary neuroendocrine cells by oncogenic transformation. However, whether the SCLC cells possess stemness and plasticity for differentiation as normal stem cells has not been well understood thus far. In this study, we investigated the expressions of multilineage stem cell markers in the cancer cells of SCLC cell line (NCI-H446) and analyzed their clonogenicity, tumorigenicity, and plasticity for inducing differentiation. It has been found that most cancer cells of the cell line expressed multilineage stem cell markers under the routine culture conditions and generated single-cell clones in anchorage-dependent or -independent conditions. These cancer cells could form subcutaneous xenograft tumors and orthotopic lung xenograft tumors in BALB/C-nude mice. Most cells in xenograft tumors expressed stem cell markers and proliferation cell nuclear antigen Ki67, suggesting that these cancer cells remained stemness and highly proliferative ability in vivo. Intriguingly, the cancer cells could be induced to differentiate into neurons, adipocytes, and osteocytes, respectively, in vitro. During the processes of cellular phenotype-conversions, autophagy and apoptosis were two main metabolic events. There is cross-talking between autophagy and apoptosis in the differentiated cancer cells. In addition, the effects of the inhibitor and agonist for Sirtuin1/2 on the inducing osteogenic differentiation indicated that Sirtuin1/2 had an important role in this process. Taken together, these results indicate that most cancer cells of NCI-H446 cell line possess stemness and plasticity for multilineage differentiation. These findings have potentially some translational applications in treatments of SCLC with inducing differentiation therapy.  相似文献

The last decades have seen no significant progress in extending the survival of lung cancer patients and there is an urgent need to improve current therapies. The substance P (SP)/neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) system plays an important role in the development of cancer: SP and NK-1R antagonists respectively induce cell proliferation and inhibition in human cancer cell lines. No study of the involvement of this system in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells has been carried out in depth. Here, we demonstrate the involvement of the SP/NK-1R system in human H-69 (SCLC) and COR-L23 (NSCLC) cell lines: (1) they express isoforms of the NK-1R and mRNA for the NK-1R; (2) they overexpress the tachykinin 1 gene; (3) the NK-1R is involved in their viability; (4) SP induces their proliferation; (5) NK-1R antagonists (Aprepitant (Emend), L-733,060, L-732,138) inhibit the growth of both cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner; (6) the specific antitumor action of these antagonists against such cells occurs through the NK-1R; and (7) lung cancer cell death is due to apoptosis. We also demonstrate the presence of NK-1Rs and SP in all the human SCLC and NSCLC samples studied. Our findings indicate that the NK-1R may be a promising new target in the treatment of lung cancer and that NK-1R antagonists could be new candidate antitumor drugs in the treatment of SCLC and NSCLC.  相似文献

Human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐G has seven isoforms, of which HLA‐G1‐G4 are membrane‐bound and HLA‐G5‐G7 are soluble. Previous studies reinforced HLA‐G expression was strongly related to poor prognosis in different types of cancers. Among these studies, the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4H84 was used which detects all HLA‐G isoform heavy chain; unfortunately, leaves the specific types of isoforms expressed in lesions undistinguished and its clinical significance needs to be clarified. To explore clinical significance of lesion soluble HLA‐G (sHLA‐G) in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mAb 5A6G7 recognizing HLA‐G5/‐G6 molecules was used. Tumour cell sHLA‐G expression in 131 primary NSCLC lesions (66 squamous cell carcinoma, 55 adenocarcinoma and 10 adenosquamous carcinoma) were analysed with immunohistochemistry. Data showed that sHLA‐G expression was observed in 34.0% (45/131) of the NSCLC lesions, which was unrelated to patient age, sex, lymph nodal status, tumour–node–metastasis stage and patient survival. However, tumour cell sHLA‐G expression in lesions was predominately observed in adenocarcinoma lesions (73.0%, 40/55) which was significantly higher than that in squamous cell carcinoma (6.0%, 4/66) and adenosquamous carcinoma lesions (10.0%, 1/10, P < 0.001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for lesion sHLA‐G was 0.833 (95% CI: 0.754–0.912, P < 0.001) for adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell carcinoma. Our findings for the first time showed that tumour cell sHLA‐G was predominately expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, which could be a useful biomarker to discriminate adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma in NSCLC patients.  相似文献

Background

Lung cancer is a leading cause of mortality. The most common cancer subtype, non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounts for 85-90 % all cases and is mainly caused by environmental and genetic factors. Mechanisms involved in lung carcinogenesis include deregulation of several kinases and molecular pathways affecting cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. Despite advances in lung cancer detection, diagnosis and staging, survival rate still remains poor and novel biomarkers for both diagnosis and therapy need to be identified. In the present study, we have explored the potential of novel specific biomarkers in the diagnosis of NSCLC, and the over-expression/activation of several kinases involved in disease development and progression.

Method

Lung tumor tissue specimens and adjacent cancer-free tissues from 8 NSCLC patients undergoing surgery were collected. The differential activation status of ERK1/2, AKT and IKBα/NF-κβ was analyzed. Subsequently, protein expression profile of NSCLC vs normal surrounding tissue was compared by a proteomic approach using LC-MS MS. Subsequently, MS/MS outputs were analyzed by the Protein Discoverer platform for label-free quantitation analysis. Finally, results were confirmed by western blotting analysis.

Results

This study confirms the involvement of ERK1/2, AKT, IKBα and NF-κβ proteins in NSCLC demonstrating a significant over-activation of all tested proteins. Furthermore, we found significant differential expression of 20 proteins (Rsc ≥ 1.50 or ≤ −1.50) of which 7 are under-expressed and 13 over-expressed in NSCLC lung tissues. Finally, we validated, by western blotting, the two most under-expressed NSCLC tissue proteins, carbonic anhydrase I and II isoforms.

Conclusion

Our data further support the possibility of developing both diagnostic tests and innovative targeted therapy in NSCLC. In addition to selective inhibitors of ERK1/2, AKT, IKBα and NF-κβ, as therapeutic options, our data, for the first time, indicates carbonic anhydrase I and II as attractive targets for development of diagnostic tools enabling selection of patients for a more specific therapy in NSCLC.  相似文献

Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells both initiate apoptotic signaling, resulting in caspase activation, after treatment with anti-cancer agents. However, in contrast to SCLC cells, NSCLC cells do not fully execute apoptosis. The apoptotic process in NSCLC cells seems to be blocked downstream of caspase activation, thus the failure of NSCLC cells to execute apoptosis could result from inhibition of active caspases by inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Here we investigate the mRNA and protein expression of IAPs in a panel of SCLC and NSCLC cell lines. The NSCLC cell lines had a stronger cIAP-2 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, while the SCLC cell lines had a higher level of XIAP protein. Expression of cIAP-1, cIAP-2, and XIAP, the most potent caspase inhibitors, was further investigated in three lung carcinoma cell lines after treatment with 8 Gy of ionizing radiation or etoposide (VP16). In response to treatment, the level of IAPs was not altered in a way that explained the differences in cellular chemo- and radiosensitivity. The intracellular localization of IAPs was analyzed in untreated and treated lung cancer cells. Surprisingly, we found that cIAP-2 was mainly detected in the mitochondrial fraction, although the function of this protein in mitochondria is unknown. No major relocalization of IAPs was observed after treatment. Taken together, these results indicate that IAPs alone are not the main factor responsible for the resistance of NSCLC cells to treatment.  相似文献

The label‐free imaging and spectroscopy method was studied on cervical unstained tissue sections obtained from 36 patients. The native fluorescence spectra of tissues are analyzed by the optical redox ratio (ORR), which is defined as fluorescence intensity ratio between NADH and FAD, and indicates the metabolism change with the cancer development. The ORRs of normal tissues are consistently higher than those of precancer or cancerous tissues. A criterion line of ORR at 5.0 can be used to discriminate cervical precancer/cancer from normal tissues. The sensitivity and specificity of the native fluorescence spectroscopy method for cervical cancer diagnosis are determined as 100% and 91%. Moreover, the native fluorescence spectroscopy study is much more sensitive on the healthy region of cervical precancer/cancer patients compared with the traditional clinical staining method. The results suggest label‐free imaging and spectroscopy is a fast, highly sensitive and specific method on the detection of cervical cancer.   相似文献

Six cell lines were derived from pleural effusions of two lung cancer patients and established in vitro in our laboratory. Cell line AE1 was obtained from a small cell lung cancer (SCLC) before the patient had received any chemotherapy; the other lines (AE2 and AE3) were established from tumour recurrences in the same patient after therapy. Cell lines DG1 and DG2 were derived from specimens of an untreated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while cell line DG3 originated from pleural effusions recurring in the same patient after therapy. The results of the present study show that: (a) the SCLC lines AE1, AE2 and AE3 are heterogeneous in their biological characteristics and in their chemosensitivity patterns. In particular lines AE2 and AE3 are less responsive to cis-Platinum (DDP) and Adriamycin (ADM) than line AE1, so that they may reflect resistant subpopulations existing within the original tumour, selected following therapy with these drugs. In contrast, however, line AE1 proved more resistant to Vepesid (VP16) than lines AE2 and AE3. (b) The three NSCLC lines are similar in various biological features as well as in their chemosensitivity to DDP and Vinblastine (VBL).Abbreviations NSCLC Non Small Cell Lung Cancer - SCLC Small Cell Lung Cancer Recipient of a Fellowship of the Italian Association for Cancer Research  相似文献

Background

Lung cancer is an important and common cancer that constitutes a major public health problem, but early detection of small cell lung cancer can significantly improve the survival rate of cancer patients. A number of serum biomarkers have been used in the diagnosis of lung cancers; however, they exhibit low sensitivity and specificity.

Methods

We used biochemical methods to measure blood levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), Na+, Cl-, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), and neuron specific enolase (NSE) in 145 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients and 155 non-small cell lung cancer and 155 normal controls. A gene expression programming (GEP) model and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves incorporating these biomarkers was developed for the auxiliary diagnosis of SCLC.

Results

After appropriate modification of the parameters, the GEP model was initially set up based on a training set of 115 SCLC patients and 125 normal controls for GEP model generation. Then the GEP was applied to the remaining 60 subjects (the test set) for model validation. GEP successfully discriminated 281 out of 300 cases, showing a correct classification rate for lung cancer patients of 93.75% (225/240) and 93.33% (56/60) for the training and test sets, respectively. Another GEP model incorporating four biomarkers, including CEA, NSE, LDH, and CRP, exhibited slightly lower detection sensitivity than the GEP model, including six biomarkers. We repeat the models on artificial neural network (ANN), and our results showed that the accuracy of GEP models were higher than that in ANN. GEP model incorporating six serum biomarkers performed by NSCLC patients and normal controls showed low accuracy than SCLC patients and was enough to prove that the GEP model is suitable for the SCLC patients.

Conclusion

We have developed a GEP model with high sensitivity and specificity for the auxiliary diagnosis of SCLC. This GEP model has the potential for the wide use for detection of SCLC in less developed regions.  相似文献

Doxorubicin (DOX) transport activity of Ral-interacting protein (RLIP76) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is approximately twice that of in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Since protein-kinase-C (PKC)alpha mediated phosphorylation of RLIP76 causes doubling of the specific activity of RLIP76, and NSCLC cells are known to have greater PKCalpha activity, we examined the contribution of PKC mediated phosphorylation of RLIP76 towards intrinsic DOX-resistance in human NSCLC. Expression of a deletion mutant RLIP76(delPKCalpha-sites) followed by depletion of the wild-type RLIP76 using a siRNA targeted at one of the deleted regions resulted in generation of cells expressing only the mutant protein, which could not be phosphorylated by PKCalpha. DOX-transport activity of the mutant RLIP76 purified from NSCLC and SCLC was similar and comparable to that of RLIP76 purified from the wild-type SCLC. However, this activity was significantly lower than that of RLIP76 purified from the wild-type NSCLC. After siRNA mediated depletion of PKCalpha, DOX-transport activities of RLIP76 purified from SCLC and NSCLC were indistinguishable. Depletion of PKCalpha inhibited the growth of NSCLC more than SCLC cells (70+/-3% vs. 43+/-5%, respectively). PKCalpha-depletion lowered the IC(50) of NSCLC cell lines for DOX to the same level as that observed for SCLC. RLIP76(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were significantly more sensitive to DOX as compared with RLIP76(+/+) MEFs (IC(50) 25 vs. 125nM, respectively). However, PKCalpha-depletion did not affect DOX-cytotoxicity towards RLIP76(-/-) MEFs, as opposed to RLIP76(+/+) MEFs which were sensitized by 2.2-fold. These results demonstrate that RLIP76 is a primary determinant of DOX-resistance, and that PKCalpha mediated accumulation defect and DOX-resistance in NSCLC is primarily due to differential phosphorylation of RLIP76 in SCLC and NSCLC.  相似文献

Background

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is known to stimulate angiogenesis and thus to influence the proliferation, migration and survival of tumor cells. Many studies examined the relationship between human bFGF overexpression and survival in lung cancer patients, but the results have been mixed. To systematically summarize the clinical prognostic function of bFGF in lung cancer, we performed this systematic review with meta-analysis.

Method

Studies were identified by an electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases, including publications prior toAugust 2014. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) for overall survival (OS) were aggregated and quantitatively analyzed by meta-analysis.

Results

Twenty-two studies (n = 2154) were evaluated in the meta-analysis. Combined HR suggested that bFGF overexpression had an adverse impact on survival of patients with lung cancer(HR = 1.202,95%CI, 1.022–1.382). Our subgroup analysis revealed that the combined HR evaluating bFGF expression on OS in operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was 1.553 (95%CI, 1.120–1.986); the combined HR in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was 1.667 (95%CI, 1.035–2.299). There was no significant impact of bFGF expression on survival in advanced NSCLC.

Conclusion

This meta-analysis showed that bFGF overexpression is a potential indicator of worse prognosis for patients with operable NSCLC and SCLC, but is not associated with outcome in advanced NSCLC. The data suggests that high bFGF expression is highly related to poor prognosis. Nevertheless,more high-quality studies should be performed in order to provide additional evidence for the prognostic value of bFGF in lung cancer.  相似文献
