Expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 in gastric stromal tumor and its clinical significance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to explore the expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) in gastric stromal tissue and its clinical significance. TFPI-2 expression was detected by immunohistochemical analysis, RT-PCR and western blotting in tumor, peritumoral and gastric normal tissues from 72 patients with gastric stromal tumors. The level of TFPI-2 expression was observed to be significantly higher in gastric normal tissue than in peritumoral tissue, and was significantly higher in peritumoral tissue than in tumor tissue (P<0.01). As the NIH grade increased, the level of TFPI-2 expression decreased (P<0.01). A low expression level of TFPI-2 was closely associated with invasion and metastasis of gastric stromal tumors. In conclusion, the level of TFPI-2 expression was higher in gastric normal tissue than in gastric stromal tumors. Low expression levels of TFPI-2 may be associated with invasion and metastasis of gastric stromal tumors.

Role of Helicobacter pylori on differential expression of angiogenic markers in gastric adenocarcinoma
Animal studies showed that male gastric tissues respond more rapidly to Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection but the possible mechanisms remained unclear. There is no data about gender specific activity of Androgen receptor (AR) as an independent unfavorable prognostic factor in gastric cancer and its interactions with H.pylori and angiogenesis in both genders. To compare the pathogenesis o...

Introduction: Metalloproteinases and their tissue inhibitors play an important role in the metastases formation. A multistage process of carcinogenesis requires the involvement of numerous enzymes and compounds that facilitate the expansion of tumor cells. The formation of metastases depends on both metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors activation leading to the acti...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, affecting children and young adults with a predilection for the soft tissue and the abdominal cavity. CFT of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with less than 20 cases of gastric CFTs reported in English literature. This benign hypocellular fibrosclerotic calcifying lesion can resemble other spindle cell tumors particularl...

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm with a high risk of recurrence. Ameloblastoma stromal fibroblasts are associated with tumor growth and invasion; however, a few studies have evaluated the immunohistochemical characteristics of stromal fibroblasts and their association with recurrence in Ameloblastoma. Galectin-3 (gal-3) is a member of the B-galactoside bonding protei...
