Abstract

To study the significance of apoptosis stimulating protein of P53 2 (ASPP2) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), immunohistochemistry S-P method was used to examine the expression of ASPP2 in 136 cases of ESCC, 35 cases of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), 29 cases of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) and 37 cases of normal esophageal epithelium (NEE). The associations of ASPP2 expression with clinicopathological data and overall survival (OS) were also analyzed. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to evaluate ASPP2 expression in a total of 20 matched human ESCC tumor tissues and normal adjacent tissues (NAT). In addition, EC109 cells were treated with cisplatin (CDDP) in vitro for 24 h (the intervention group) and the control group was set up at the same time. Western blot was used to examine the expression of ASPP2 protein between the two groups. The expression of ASPP2 decreased progressively from NEE to LGIN, to HGIN, and to ESCC, and it was related to TNM stage, histological differentiation and lymph node metastasis in ESCC (P < 0.05). ASPP2 was a protective factor of patients with ESCC (P = 0.008). The relative expression of ASPP2 mRNA was marked...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.
