摘要
Regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis plays a key role in tumor development. To elucidate mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis, patterns of gene expression, including apoptosis-related genes, were compared between glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive preneoplastic foci and surrounding tissue in the rat. Lesions were induced with a single intraperitoneal injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN, 200mg/kgbw) and then 100ppm 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF)-containing diet combined with two-thirds partial hepatectomy. Frozen sections of the livers were applied for immunohistochemical staining of GST-P, and both positive foci and surrounding negative areas were harvested by laser microdissection. Total RNAs were extracted and amplified with T7 polymerase to allow gene expression analysis by cDNA microarray assays. In the GST-P-positive foci, altered levels were observed for many genes, mostly related to metabolism or catalysis, with increased expression of testosterone-repressive prostate message-2 (TRPM-2), which is reported to act as a protective factor against apoptosis, and decreased expression of thymus-expressed acidic protein (TEAP), which is considered to promote apoptosis. The results indicate that rat liver preneoplastic lesions might be protected against apoptosis and that the approach adopted is useful for clarification of mechanisms underlying hepatocarcinogenesis. © The Japanese Society for Clinical Molecular Morphology 2005.
