Transcription factors GATA-4 and GATA-6 in normal and neoplastic human gastrointestinal mucosa
BACKGROUND Human gastrointestinal mucosa regenerates vigorously throughout life, but the factors controlling cell fate in mature mucosa are poorly understood. GATA transcription factors direct cell proliferation and differentiation in many organs, and are implicated in tumorigenesis. GATA-4 and GATA-6 are considered crucial for the formation of murine gastrointestinal mucosa, but their role in ...
متن کاملMaintenance of normal, metaplastic, and dysplastic states of adult human bronchial mucosa in organ culture.
SUMMARY Bronchial mucosa was obtained from 10 patients undergoing lobectomy (8 for squamous bronchogenic carcinoma) and from 13 patients examined by bronchoscopy. Randomly chosen mucosal patches were incubated with tritiated thymidine and fixed as fresh samples, while others were labeled and fixed after 5 to 15 days of maintenance in organculture.Histological andautoradiographic observations in...
متن کاملGSTA1 expression in normal, preneoplastic, and neoplastic human prostate tissue.
BACKGROUND Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), inducible enzymes that catalyze the detoxification of reactive electrophiles and oxidants, protect against neoplastic transformation. Prostatic adenocarcinoma and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) fail to express GSTP1, a major class of GST. This failure of expression is associated with methlyation of the GSTP1 promoter, a somat...
متن کاملExpression of c-myb protooncogene and other cell cycle-related genes in normal and neoplastic human colonic mucosa.
The expression of c-myb, c-myc, histone H3, and ornithine decarboxylase genes was examined by Northern blot analysis in the normal and neoplastic mucosa of ten subjects affected by colon cancer. The mRNA levels of c-myb protooncogene were detected at low levels in all normal samples but were increased in the neoplastic mucosa of six cases in comparison to the normal counterpart. In five of thes...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Expression in Normal, Dysplastic and Neoplastic Squamous Epithelium of Oral Mucosa
BACKGROUND: VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) is one of the growth factors, which directly affects vascular endothelial cells and evokes proliferation, migration and chemotaxis of endothelial cells. Studies have provided inconsistent results about the expression of VEGF in the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or oral mucosa. The purpose of the present study was to assess the frequency of V...
