Programmed Cell Death Protein 4 -Expression in Urologic Tumors

چکیده
Introduction: To investigate the role of the tumor suppressor gene Pdcd4 (programmed cell death 4) in benign and malignant prostate tissue specimen. Materials and Methodology: Pdcd4 immunohistochemical expression was investigated in 73 prostate cancer and 14 normal tissues. The expression levels were correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Results: Both, cytoplasmic and nuclear Pdcd4 staining was significantly decreased in malignant prostate tissue. Furthermore, Pdcd4 expression decreased with histopathological progression of the tumor. Receiver operating characteristic analyses showed in core staining results high sensitivity (83.3%) and specificity (93.8%) for the discrimination of prostate cancer from non-malignant tissue. Conclusion: Our data support a role for Pdcd4 in prostate carcinogenesis. Pdcd4 immunohistochemical staining turns out to be a possible diagnostic marker for differentiation of prostate carcinoma and benign prostate tissue.

Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway is one of the immune checkpoint pathways involved in regulation of the immune responses and suppression of anti-tumor defense. PD-1/B7-H1-blocking antibodies improve immune responses such as cytotoxic activity of CD8+/CD4+T cells and also increase mortality of tumor cells; however their use is accompanied by adverse effects in pat...

One way of controlling plant response to various biotic stresses occurs through programmed cell death, this system is known as the hypersensitive reaction. Plant resistance system against stress is stimulated through different chemicals such as salicylic acid. Therfore, experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications, in order to identifying the expressed pr...
متن کاملImpact of Duration and Severity of Persistent Pain on Programmed Cell Death
Programmed cell death is a highly regulated form of cell death, mostly distinguished by the activation of a family of cystein-aspartate proteases (caspases) that cleave various proteins resulting in morphological and biochemical changes characteristic of this form of cell death. Several recent studies have addressed the role of programmed cell death in inflammatory and chronic pain states. Casp...

BACKGROUND Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) is a novel tumor suppressor protein involved in programmed cell death. Its association with cancer progression has been observed in multiple tumor models, but evidence supporting its association with solid tumors in humans remains controversial. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance and prognostic value of PDCD4 in solid tumor...
