Expressions and significance of tumor suppressor gene PTEN and p53 in prostate cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study aim was to investigate the impacts of the expressions of tumor suppressor gene phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) and p53 on the grading and prognosis of prostate cancer. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of tumor suppressor gene PTEN and p53 in 80 prostate cancer and adjacent tissue samples, as well as in 40 normal tissue samples, and the relationships among their expressions, prostate cancer grading, and prognosis were then compared. p53 was significantly up-regulated in prostate cancer tissue (P<0.05), but PTEN was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). The expression levels of PTEN in the cancer tissues with different differentiation degrees, stages, metastasis, and prognosis exhibited significant differences (P<0.05). The expression levels of p53 in the cancer tissues with different differentiation degrees and prognosis exhibited significant differences (P<0.05). There were no correlations between the expressions of p53 and PTEN (P>0.05). Apoptosis-related gene p53 and PTEN participate in the grading of prostate cancer, and also affect patient’s prognosis, but there are no correlations between these two genes.

Introduction: Defects in PTEN gene play an important role in the initiation of the prostate cancer. MAGI2 is recognized as a frame which assists in stabilizing PTEN protein and enhances its tumor suppressor function. As miR-101 down-regulates MAGI2 expression, it can indirectly cause to reduce the PTEN activity. Methods:LnCap, PC3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines were studied in order to ...
