Abstract

Objective:To study the expression of NF-?Bp65 and bcl-x L gene in pancreatic carcinoma and their clinical significance.Methods:The expressions of NF-?Bp65 and bcl-x L protein in 52 pancreatic carcinoma were studied by immunohistochemistry,and their relationship to clinical pathology were analyzed.Results:The positive rates of NF-?Bp65 protein and bcl-x L protein in pancreatic carcinoma were 63.5% and 73.1% respectively,and which were higher than those of normal pancreatic tissues.The expression of NF-?Bp65 was related to tumor diameter,TNM stage and lymph node metastasis,and had no relation with the extent of differentiation and type of pathology.There was positive correlation between NF-? Bp65 and bcl-x L expression.Conclusion:NF-? Bp65 may be an important oncoprotein,and may have positive regulation on bcl-x L,then promote tumorgenesis.
