[Expression of Fra-1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma]
Abstract:
Objective:To investigate expressions of Fra-1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Method:Using immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR detecting 47 cases of laryngeal squamous carcinoma tissues and 21 cases of para-carcinoma tissues with the level of protein and mRNA, we analyzed the relationship of the genes expression and clinical parameters. Result:The level of protein positive expression of Fra-1 genes in laryngeal squamous cancer tissue were higher than adiacent tissues (P<0.05). The expression of Fra-1 protein in laryngeal squamous cancer tissue were significant correlation with the clinical stages, lymph metastasis, smoking. They had no significant correlation with the pathological grade, age, anatomic zonation. The mRNA level expression of Fra-1 genes in laryngeal squamous cancer tissue were higher than adjacent tissues (P<0.01). The expression of Fra-1 gene in the mRNA level was correlated with pathologic stage, clinical stage, lymph metastasis, and smoking, but wasn't correlated with age and anatomic zonation. Conclusion:In laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, the expression of Fra-1 gene are overexpressed. Fra-1 may play a role in the occurrence and development of the laryngeal cancer.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...
