ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1(SATB1) gene and its relationship with SLC22A18 protein expression in astrocytoma.Methods Fifty-six patients with astrocytomas (12 with grade Ⅰ,13 with grade Ⅱ,15 with grade Ⅲ,and 16 with grade Ⅳ),performed surgical excision in our hospitals from September 2006 to June 2010 and from September 2003 to June 2006,were chosen in our study; another 10 brain tissues from patients performed decompression operation resulting from cerebral hernia were selected as the controls.RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of SATB1.The SLC22A18 protein expression was detected by immunohistochemical assay.The relations between SLC22A18expressions and SA TB1 levels,and these two and the degree of malignancy were analyzed.Results RT-PCR and Western blotting revealed that positive mRNA and protein expressions were noted in 35patients with astrocytomas; the mRNA and protein expression rate and value of SATB1 in the astrocytoma tissues were significantly different among different grades of tumors (P<0.05); the higher the malignancy grade,the higher mRNA and protein expression rate and value ofSA TB1; the protein expression value of SA TB1 had a positive correlation with the malignancy grade of tumors (r=0.987,P=0.000).And a few expressions of SA TB1 mRNA and protein were found in the tissues of controls.Immunohistochemical assay indicated that positive protein expression of SLC22A18 was noted in 19 astrocytoma tissues,and the protein expression rate of SLC22A18 in the astrocytoma tissues was significantly different among different grades of tumors (P<0.05); the higher the malignancy grade,the lower expression of SLC22A18.And the protein expression of SLC22A18 was found in all the tissues of controls.The SATB1 expression rate in the tissues with negative SLC22A18 expression (81.1%) was significantly higher than that in the tissues with positive SLC22A18 expression (26.3%,P<0.05).Conclusion SATB1 expresses in the astrocytoma tissues,indicating that it may play an important role in the pathogenesis of astrocytoma;up-regulation of SATB1 expression and dysfunction of SLC22A18 may play synergetic roles in the process of carcinogenesis of astrocytoma.
