简介：许多人类疾病的发生和发展可归因于一些基因的异常表达，从而导致疾病的发生。其中一部分基因是在核因子kappaB（nuclearfactor-kappaB，NF—κB）调控下进行的。NF—κ是广泛存在于哺乳动物中的转录因子，是由Sen等于1986年首先在B细胞中发现的一种核蛋白。因它能与B细胞免疫球蛋白上的K轻链基因增强子κB序列（GGGACTITCC）特异结合而得名。实际上它能与多种细胞基因的启动子和增强子序列位点发生特异性结合，并促进转录和表达，参与众多与免疫和炎症反应有关的基因转录的调控。它的异常激活或完全抑制与多种疾病的发生有关。在控制细胞增殖、凋亡、肿瘤的发生、发展和耐药问题上均起着重要的作用。因此深入探讨NF—κB在体内病理状态下的活化机制以及其与细胞、基因之间的调节作用具有重要的意义。现就NF—κB的组成、结构、激活途径以及与肿瘤的关系作一综述。

简介：目的：研究miR-940对胃癌细胞增殖的影响,探讨miR-940和Cbl-b信号转导通路在此过程中的作用。方法：采用Real-timePCR法检测胃癌细胞中miR-940的表达,MTT法检测胃癌细胞的增殖能力,双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统检测miR-940与Cbl-b的结合,Westernblotting实验观察蛋白的表达。结果：MTT法显示miR-940可促进胃癌细胞MGC803的增殖,BLAST对比分析结果显示Cbl-b与miR-940存在结合位点。双荧光素酶报告基因检测系统证实Cbl-b是miR-940的靶基因。Westernblotting结果显示过表达miR-940后,Cbl-b的表达明显下调。Cbl-b抑制胃癌细胞MGC803的增殖。miR-940通过负向调节Cbl-b的表达促进胃癌细胞的增殖。结论：miR-940通过抑制Cbl-b的表达,促进胃癌细胞MGC803的增殖。

简介：目的：研究B7-H4在乳腺癌中的表达情况及其与各临床病理变量之间的相关性。方法：应用免疫组织化学染色分析51例乳腺癌手术患者切除的肿瘤标本的B7-H4的表达情况，分析其与年龄、肿瘤类型、大小、淋巴结转移、肿瘤分期、激素受体表达情况、Her-2／neu状态的相关性。结果：B7-H4可表达于乳腺癌细胞的胞膜上、胞浆内或同时表达于两者之内。88．2％（45／51）的标本B7-H4阳性，并且与肿瘤中Her-2／neu状态（P=0．04）、组织学类型（P=0．002）明显相关，Her-2／neu阳性患者中B7-H4的表达要明显高于阴性的患者，浸润性导管癌细胞中B7-H4的表达显著高于原位癌，而与其他临床病理参数无关。结论：B7-H4可能与肿瘤的预后和肿瘤的进展相关。
