Is Bax/Bcl-2 Ratio Considered as a Prognostic Marker with Age and Tumor Location in Colorectal Cancer?
Background: Bax and Bcl-2 are the major members of Bcl-2 family whose play a key role in tumor progression or inhibition of intrinsic apoptotic pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, the balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic members of this family can determine the cellular fate. Methods: In this study, the relative level of mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 genes was deter...
متن کاملIncreasing lymphatic microvessel density in primary pterygia.
OBJECTIVE To examine lymphatic microvessel density (LMVD) in primary pterygia. METHODS We included tissue samples from 88 excised primary (including 34 grade 1, 28 grade 2, and 26 grade 3) pterygia and from 7 nasal epibulbar conjunctivae segments used as control samples. Sections from each pterygium were immunostained with CD31 and lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1) m...
متن کاملSMAD4 as a prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.
More than 50% of patients with Dukes C colorectal cancer have disease recurrence and die within 5 years after surgical removal of their primary tumor. It is currently not possible to distinguish patients with good and bad prognosis. SMAD4 is an important tumor suppressor gene that mediates transforming growth factor-beta superfamily signaling and is located in chromosome 18q21, a region with fr...
متن کاملGlomeruloid microvascular proliferation is superior to intratumoral microvessel density as a prognostic marker in non-small cell lung cancer.
Glomeruloid microvascular proliferation (GMP) is a focal proliferative budding of endothelial cells (ECs) resembling a renal glomerulus. Whereas some experimental and clinical studies have suggested recently that GMPs indicate an aggressive angiogenic phenotype, the incidence and clinical significance of GMPs remains unclear. Thus, we conducted a retrospective study on GMPs in a total of 236 pa...
متن کاملOrnithine decarboxylase activity as a prognostic marker for colorectal cancer.
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines, which are essential for cell proliferation. ODC activity was measured in 47 colorectal cancer patients, 5 patients with adenoma of colorectum and 4 healthy volunteers. Mean ODC activities of cancer tissue, non-cancerous mucosa from cancer-bearing colorectum, adenoma tissue, and normal mucosa from healthy volunteers...
