Abstract:
Objective To discuss the expressions of NF-κB and Vimentin in bladder urothelium carcinoma and their significance. Methods 60 bladder urothelium carcinomas and 20 controls were evaluated and the presence of NF-κB and Vimentin were examined by inmunohistochemical SP method.Results Both NF-κB and Vimentin in bladder urothelium carcinoma and nomal bladder tissue had significant differences (x2 =21.8,P ＜ 0.01; x2 =10.45,P ＜ 0.01).The positive rates of NF-κB expression in different grade of bladder urothelium carcinoma:grade Ⅰ 32 ％ (5/16),grade Ⅱ 68 ％ (13/19),grade Ⅲ 96 ％(24/25) (x2 =4.8,P ＜ 0.05,x2 =4.24,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of NF-κB expression in different stage:Ta-T1 stage 57 ％ (16/28),T2-T4 stage 81％ (26/32) (x2 =4.13,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of NF-κB expression in lymph node metastasis or not:87 ％ (21/24) and 58 ％ (21/36) (x2 =5.83,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of Vimentin expression in different grade of bladder urothelium carcinoma:grade Ⅰ 19 ％(3/13),grade Ⅱ 53 ％ (10/19),grade Ⅲ 84 ％ (21/25) (x2 =4.25,P ＜ 0.05,x2 =4.94,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of Vimentin expression in different stage:Ta-T1 stage 36 ％ (10/28),T2-T4 stage 75 ％(24/32)(x2 =9.38,P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of NF-κB expression in lymph node metastasis or not:50 ％ (12/24)and 61％ (22/36) (x2 =0.72,P ＞ 0.05).The expression of NF-κB increased was positively correlated with expression of Vimentin (x2 =12.4,P ＜ 0.005,r =0.42).Conclusion Both NF-κB and Vimentin in bladder urothelium carcinoma and normal bladder tissue have significant difference.The expression of NF-κB is positively correlated with tumor grade,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis,but not with age and sex.The expression of Vimentin is positively correlated with tumor grade,and clinical stage,but not with age,sex and lymph node metastasis.The expression of NF-κB is positively correlated with the expression of Vimentin.
