METHODS: The expression of HSP70 and grp94 in 78 human esophageai cancer and adjacent normal tissues was studied by immunohistochemistry and pathology photograph analysis. RESULTS: Both esophageai cancer and adjacent normal tissues could express HSP70 and grp94. Of the 78 cases of esophageai carcinoma, 95.0%(72/78) showed positive HSP70, mainly stained in nuclei, while grp94 was mainly stained in cell plasma, and the positive rate was 71.8% (56/78).There was a significant difference in the expression of HSP70 and grp94 between esophageai cancer and adjacent normal tissues (P<0.01). Compared with adjacent normal tissues, there was a significant difference between differential types and HSP70 expression (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: HSP70 and grp94 express differently in cell plasma and nuclei. The expression intensity of HSP70 is related to the differentiation of esophageai carcinoma.展开更多

Sodium butyrate (SB) can cause functional and morphological effects on Clone A cells including growth arrest at Go/G1 stage and cell differentiation as observed by morphological changes, MTT and flow cytometry assays, as well as reduced Grp94 gene expression as shown by Northern blot and Western blot assays. The possible mechanism of the correlation between Grp94 gene expression and tumor growth inhibition and cell differentiation is briefly discussed.展开更多

Methods： Tissues of resected primary colon cancer, colon adenoma and normal tissue were investigated. Protein expression was detected with immunohistochemical staining, mRNA expression levels of GRP78 and GRP94 were determined by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） after mRNA extraction. Results： The expression of GRP94 and GRP78 was significantly higher in colon cancer when compared to those in colon adenoma and normal tissue （P〈0.01）. GRP94 mRNA and protein expression was found to be in close relationship with the grade of differentiation, Dukes stages, lymph node involvement and remote metastasis in colon cancer （P〈0.01）, but no relationship with gender and age （P〉0.05）. GRP78 mRNA and protein expression increased with cancer progression along the normal tissue-adenoma-cancer sequence, but showed no association with grade of differentiation, Dukes stages, lymph node involvement, remote metastasis, gender and age （P〉0.05）. The mRNA expression of GRP78 and GRP94 was consistent with the proteins （P〈0.01）, but there is no correlation between overexpression of GRP78 and GRP94 （P〉0.05）, and the patients with both strong GRP78 and GRP94 protein expression did not show advanced tumor stages （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： Overexpression of GRP78 and GRP94 was found in colon cancer. Overexpression of GRP94 was closely related to cellular differentiation, Dukes stages, invasion and metastasis.展开更多
