Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The quality of life(QOL) of patients with lung cancer is ffected due to depression, reduced lung function, subjective reduced body force, fatigue, and poor stamina, etc., and the survival of the patientswould be affected by complications or advanced stage cachexia.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between three gene proteins including p53, p27 and bcl-2 and the pathological characters of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).DESIGN: An experimental trial by employing pathological specimens as subjects.SETTING: Department of respiration of a university affiliated hospital and the Central laboratory of a university.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 76 specimens of NSCLC after surgical resection between June 1997 and December 2002, which were all primary lung cancer without any other therapy.METHODS: The expression of three gene proteins in 76 NSCLC specimens was detected by SP immunohistochemical analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Positive expression of p53, p27 and bcl-2.RESULTS: Among 76 specimens, 28 cases(37%, 28/76) with excessive expression of p53, 34 cases(45%, 34/76) with excessive expression of p27, 37 cases(49%, 37/76) with excessive expression of bcl-2, and 7 cases with excessive expression in all three proteins. The positive expression of p53 elevated with the reduced gradation in differentiation; bcl-2 and p27positive expressions reduced with the reduced gradation in differentiation and there was significant difference between high-differentiation group and low-differentiation group( P ＜ 0. 05) . However, there was no significant relationship between the positive expressions of three proteins and the histological classification, lymph node metastasis, and pathological aging of lung cancer( P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The excessive expression of p53, p27 and bcl-2 genes might be related with the occurrence and development of NSCLC.
