Abstract

The difference in biological features between recurrent and nonrecurrent intracranial chordomas has not been studied. In this study, proliferative potentials of chordomas were studied with an immunohistochemical staining method, mainly using anti-Ki-67 antibody, MIB-1, which is known to be available for archival paraffin sections, together with immunohistochemical studies on the expression of cell cycle or apoptosis-related proteins, including p53, cyclin D1, and bcl-2 proteins. The correlation among MIB-1 staining indices, the immunoreactivities of these proteins, and clinical courses of intracranial chordomas were analyzed retrospectively, and the statistically significant correlation between MIB-1 staining index (SI) and recurrence has been clarified. The mean MIB-1 SI of recurrent tumors was 10.2%, being shown to be higher than that of nonrecurrent tumors (2.8%). The immunohistochemically positive staining of cell cycle-related protein, especially p53 and cyclin D1 proteins, correlated well with recurrence and high MIB-1 SI. In conclusion, both the examination of proliferative potentials of chordomas using MIB-1 SI and the study of the immunoreactivity of p53 and cyclin D1 proteins are important for their biological and his...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

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

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
