Detection of adhesion molecules in bone marrow metastatic tumors of digestive system / 中国实用内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the role of 4 types of adhesion molecules in digestive system tumors with bone marrow metastasis.Methods The fresh bone marrow slies of 72 cases of digestive system tumor with bone marrow metastasis,including 26 gastric cancer,25 liver cancer,21 colorectal cancer,were obtained.The tumor cell slides of 76 cases of digestive system tumor without metastasis,including 32 gastric cancer,20 liver cancer,24 colorectal cancer,were obtained.The expressions of 4 kinds of adhesion molecules in two groups were studied by ABC immunohistochemical methods,and positive rate was recorded and accumulated points.Results ICAM-1、E-cad and CEA positive rates/CD44V6 accumulated points were up-regulated in gastric cancer cells in bone marrow;ICAM-1、CD44V6 accumulated points/CEA positive rate were up-regulated in liver cancer cells in bone marrow,while expression of E-cad had no difference;ICAM-1、CD44V6 and CEA accumulated points/E-cad positive rate were up-regulated in large bowel cancer cells in bone marrow.Conclusion Different adhesion molecules play coordinative or resistant role in digestive system tumor with bone marrow metastasis.
