[The expression of p53, cyclin D1 and PCNA in non-small cell lung cancer]
1Department of Pathology , TianjinMedical University , Tianjin 300070, P. R. China.
Background:
To study the expression of p53, cyclin D1 proteins and their relations to cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) .
Methods:
The expression of p53, cyclin D1 proteins and PCNA was studied in 74 cases of NSCLC and 10 cases of normal lung tissues by SP immunohistochemical technique.
Results:
Positive rates of p53 and cyclin D1 protein expression in NSCLC were 55. 41% and 37. 84% respectively, which were both significantly higher than those in normal lung tissues ( P₁ = 0. 003 1, P₂= 0. 042 9) . p53 protein expression correlated remarkably with lymphatic metastasis ( P= 0. 022 2) . p53 and cyclin D1 protein expression correlated significantly with PCNA index respectively ( P₁ = 0. 001 0, P₂ = 0. 000 9) . There was no significant correlation between p53 and cyclin D1 proteins ( P > 0. 05) .
Conclusions:
p53, cyclin D1 protein overexpression plays an important role in tumorigenesis and cell proliferation of NSCLC. p53 is also an important indicator in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of NSCLC.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
