Caspase-3 activity in papillary thyroid carcinomas.
AIM The aim of this work was to assess caspase-3 activity in the tissue of papillary thyroid carcinomas of patients and analyze the peculiarities of changes in this activity depending upon a number of pathomorphological and clinical features of tumoral process. METHODS Caspase-3 activity was determined by spectrophotometry with regard to acetyl-asp-glu-val-asp-paranitroanilide. RESULTS At i...
متن کاملOverexpression of C-reactive Protein as a Poor Prognostic Marker of Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinomas
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant synthesized in the liver. CRP immunoreactivity is a feature of inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas with a higher risk of malignant transformation. A high serum CRP level denotes poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. This study was conducted to determine whether CRP is produced in HCC and to assess the clinicopa...
متن کاملOverexpression of CDC25A phosphatase is associated with hypergrowth activity and poor prognosis of human hepatocellular carcinomas.
PURPOSE AND EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN CDC25 genes are cell cycle-activating phosphatases that positively regulate the activity of cyclin-dependent kinase. CDC25A and CDC25B, being oncogenes, are overexpressed in a variety of human malignancies. To investigate the potential roles of CDC25s in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), expression of CDC25A and CDC25B was examined in human HCC samples. RESULTS R...
متن کاملOverexpression of HER-2 in ovarian carcinomas.
The transmembrane receptor encoded by the HER-2 cellular oncogene is amplified in several types of human carcinomas and provides an attractive therapeutic target. Shown by immunohistology, <25% of newly diagnosed ovarian carcinomas express the HER-2 protein. However, now we report that this protein was expressed in all 20 tumor cell lines derived from stage III and IV ovarian cancers as well as...
متن کاملClinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ki-67, caspase-3 and p53 expression in gastric carcinomas
The understanding of proliferative and apoptotic changes has aided the improvement of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of gastric cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ki-67, caspase-3 and p53 in gastric cancer. The expression levels of Ki-67, caspase-3 and p53 were evaluated on tissue microarrays of gastric carcinomas speci...
