Objective:
To investigate the effects of p57(kip2) and cyclinE proteins on the genesis and progression of human pancreatic cancer.
Methods:
The expression of p57(kip2) and cyclinE proteins in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues of pancreatic cancer in 32 patients was detected by SP immunohistochemical technique.
Results:
The p57(kip2) protein positive-expression rate in tumor tissues of pancreatic cancer was 46.9%, which was lower than that in adjacent pancreatic tissue (P < 0.05). The p57(kip2) protein positive-expression correlated significantly with tumor cell differentiation (P < 0.05) and did not correlate significantly with lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). The cyclinE positive-expression rate in tumor tissues was 68.8%, which was higher than that in adjacent pancreatic tissues (P < 0.05). The cyclinE positive-expression also correlated significantly with tumor cell differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The cyclinE protein positive-expression rate in the tumor tissues of the p57(kip2) protein positive-expression group was lower than that in the p57(kip2) protein negative-expression group, and there were no significant correlation between the two groups (r = -0.112, P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Decreased expression of the p57(kip2) protein and/or over-expression of the cyclinE protein may play an important role in the genesis and progression of human pancreatic cancer.
