Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase2A (CIP2A),phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),and survivin in pancreatic carcinomas and their clinical significance.Methods The expressions of CIP2A,PI3K,and survivin proteins were tested by immunohistochemistry in 64 cases of pancreatic carcinomas and adjacent paracancerous tissues.Results The positive rate of CIP2A in pancreatic carcinomas was significantly higher than adjacent paracancerous tissues (70.3％ vs 5.6％,P ＜0.05).Significant difference was observed in the expression rate of PI3K between the patients with pancreatic carcinomas and paracancerous tissues (73.4％ vs 8.3％,P ＜0.05).Significant difference was also observed in the expression rate of survivin between the patients with pancreatic carcinomas and paracancerous tissues (75.0％ vs 2.8％,P ＜0.05).CIP2A,PI3K,and survivin were significantly differentially expressed in pancreatic carcinoma among different tumor differentiation,tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage,and neural invasion and lymph node metastasis (all P ＜ 0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between the expressions of CIP2A and the others (PI3K and survivin) (both P ＜0.05),and between the expressions of PI3K and surviving (P ＜0.05).Conclusions CIP2A was involved in the development of pancreatic carcinomas and might activate the PI3K/Akt/survivin pathway.Our data identified CIP2A as a critical oncoprotein involved in cell proliferation,invasion,and metastasis.It could serve as a therapeutic target for pancreatic carcinomas.
