  • 简介:目的:分析同源异型盒基因B7(HomeoboxB7,HOXB7)在人胃癌组织中的表达情况,并探讨HOXB7的表达与胃癌患者临床病理特征和预后的关系。方法:收集行手术切除的胃癌组织及对应癌旁组织共120例,采用实时定量PCR(qRT—PCR)技术、蛋白印迹(Westernblot)和免疫组化染色分别检测HOXB7mRNA水平及蛋白水平在胃癌及对应癌旁组织中的表达,通过卡方检验分析HOXB7表达水平与胃癌患者临床病理因素间的相关性,采用单因素及多因素Cox回归模型评估HOXB7在胃癌风险评估中的作用,Kaplan-Meier生存曲线分析HOXB7表达水平与胃癌患者无瘤生存期和总生存期的关系。结果:胃癌组织中HOXB7mRNA和蛋白表达水平均显著高于对应癌旁组织(P〈0.05);HOXB7蛋白表达与肿瘤临床分期、浸润深度及淋巴结转移均具有显著相关性(P〈0.05),而与患者性别、年龄、分化程度及远处转移均无显著相关性(P〉0.05)。单因素和多因素Cox分析提示HOXB7可以作为评估胃癌患者预后的独立风险因素。Kaplan-Meier生存分析结果显示高表达HOXB7的胃癌患者无瘤生存时间和总生存时间均显著低于HOXB7低表达患者组(P〈0.01)。结论:HOXB7蛋白在胃癌组织中高表达,并与胃癌的恶性表型有关,可能参与胃癌发生及恶性进展过程,可作为判断胃癌患预后的重要参考指标。

  • 简介:heterotrimericguanine核苷酸绑定蛋白质(G蛋白质)被表明了各种各样的发信号调停在植物的小径。然而,它在发信号的phytochromeA(phyA)的角色留下逃犯。在这研究,我们发现新调停phyA的显型指明了far-red照耀(FR)preconditioned房间死亡,它仅仅在跟随暴露到白光(WL)的FR-grown幼苗的胚轴发生。房间死亡在G变异的gpa1被减轻,但是与野类型(WT)比较在G变异的agb1加重了,在调停phyA的房间死亡小径的GPA1和AGB1的对抗角色的陈述语气。进一步的调查显示nonphotoconvertibleprotochlorophyllide(Pchlide633)的导致FR的累积,在暴露上产生反应的氧种类(ROS)到WL,为前提FR的房间死亡被要求。而且,ROS主要在叶绿体被检测用荧光灯探查。有趣地,到黑暗成年的幼苗的H2O2的申请导致类似于前提FR的房间死亡的显型。这表明ROS是为房间死亡的一个批评调停人。另外,我们观察到agb1比WT幼苗对H2O2更敏感,显示G蛋白质可以也修改到ROS应力的幼苗的敏感。一起拿这些结果,我们推断G蛋白质可以涉及表明小径调整Arabidopsis胚轴的前提FR的房间死亡的phyA。在phyA位于G蛋白质的参与下面发信号的可能的机制在这研究被讨论。
