Objective To investigate the expression and significance of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha(HIF-1α)and glucose transporter protein 1(GLUT-1)in endometrial carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemical(PV-9000 two-step)method was applied to detect the expression of HIF-1α and GLUT-1 in 36 cases of endometrial carcinoma,18 cases of atypical hyperplasia,12 cases of complex hyperplasia,15 cases of simple hyperplsia,atypical hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma were 6.7%,25.0%、38.9%and 77.8%.Compared expression of HIF-1αin endomelrial adenocarcinoma with those in endometrial simple hyperplasia,complex hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia tissue,differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The positive rates of GLUT-1 in endometrial simple hyperplasia,complex hyperplasia,atypical hyperplasia and endometrial adenocarcinoma were 0,8.3%,44.4%and 83.3%.Compared expression of GLUT-1 in endometrial adenocarcinoma with those in endometrial simple hyperplasia,complex hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia tissue,differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).According to Spearman Correlation analysis,there was positive correlation between HIF-1α and GLUT-1(r=0.559,P＜0.01).Conclusion The positive rates of HIF-1α and GLUT-1 gradually increase in endometrial simple hyperplasia,complex hyperplasia,atypical hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma,which indicates HIF-1α and its taget gene GLUT-1 play a very important role in the development of endometrial carcinoma.The expression of GLUT-1 can be enhanced by HIF-1α.

Objective To explore the effect of lentiviral vector-mediated somatostatin (SST) expression on seizures induced by hippocampal kindling in rats.Methods Adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the sham group (Sham),epilepsy group (EP),Lenti-pSyn-EGFP (LV-EGFP) group and Lenti-pSyn-SST-2A-EGFP (LV-SST) group.The rats in LV-EGFP group were subsequently electrically hippocampal kindled and LV-EGFP (5 μl) was injected into dentate gyrus (DG).The rats in LV-SST group were kindled and LV-SST (5 μl) was injected into the dentate gyrus (DG),medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) or amygdala (Amy).Seizure severity was evaluated and immunohistochemical staining was employed to detect the expression of SST,neuron specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2).Results The current values to the first stage V seizure of LV-SST (DG) group,LV-SST (MEC) group or LV-SST (Amy) group ((143.8±3.8)μA,(142.5±4.1)μA,(142.5±5.3) μA,respectively) were significantly increased compared with that of epilepsy (EP) group ((136.3±5.3)μA),and V stage current values of LV-SST groups in each stimulation day were higher than that of EP group except the fifth stimulation day (P<0.05).After kindling,SST expression and NeuN-positive neurons of EP group and LV-SST groups were less than that of Sham group in CA1,CA3 and DG.SST and NeuN neurons loss in LV-SST groups were less than that of EP group (P<0.05) and MAP2 immunohistochemistry stainings in LV-SST groups were higher than that in EP group.Conclusion Lentiviral vector-mediated somatostatin expression suppresses seizures and can rescue the neuronal damage of seizure induced by kindling in hippocampus,which may provide a new method of gene therapy for temporal lobe epilepsy.
