A superoxide-producing enzyme, NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1), dominantly expressed in the colon, is implicated in the pathogenesis of colon cancer. Immunohistochemistry showed that Nox1 was constitutively expressed in surface mucous cells. Adenomas and well differentiated adenocarcinomas up-regulated Nox1 expression. Ki-67-negative, well differentiated tumor cells contained abundant Nox1, whereas Ki-67-positive, proliferating cells did not express it. This differentiation-dependent expression in normal as well as tumor tissues suggests distinct roles of Nox1 besides mitogenic function. Nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB was predominantly activated in adenoma and adenocarcinoma cells expressing abundant Nox1, suggesting that Nox1 may stimulate NF-kappaB-dependent antiapoptotic pathways in colon tumors.
一种产生超氧化物的酶,即NADPH氧化酶1(Nox1),在结肠中大量表达,与结肠癌的发病机制有关。免疫组织化学显示,Nox1在表面黏液细胞中持续表达。腺瘤和高分化腺癌上调了Nox1的表达。Ki-67阴性的高分化肿瘤细胞含有丰富的Nox1,而Ki-67阳性的增殖细胞则不表达。这种在正常组织和肿瘤组织中依赖分化的表达表明,Nox1除了有促有丝分裂功能外,还有不同的作用。核因子(NF)-κB在表达丰富Nox1的腺瘤和腺癌细胞中主要被激活,这表明Nox1可能在结肠肿瘤中刺激NF-κB依赖的抗凋亡途径。
