Protein phosphorylation is an important regulatory mechanism involved in signal transduction and cancers. In comparison to the extensive tyrosine-kinase oncogenesis research, there are only relatively few studies of protein tyrosine-phosphatase expression in cancers. The expression profile for tyrosine-phosphatases was investigated in gastric cancers using RT-PCR and molecular cloning. The present study showed a general PTP expression profile in gastric cancer tissues, with the identification of 22 distinct tyrosine-phosphatases. Following the examination of five PTPs (PTPRA, PTPRB, PTPRD, PTPRG and PTPRZ) using immunohistochemistry, strong association was observed between PTPRA/PTPRZ expression and gastric cancer progression including lymphovascular invasion and liver/peritoneal dissemination.
蛋白质磷酸化是一种参与信号转导和癌症的重要调节机制。与广泛的酪氨酸激酶致癌作用研究相比,关于蛋白质酪氨酸磷酸酶在癌症中表达的研究相对较少。使用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和分子克隆技术,对胃癌中酪氨酸磷酸酶的表达谱进行了研究。本研究显示了胃癌组织中酪氨酸磷酸酶的总体表达谱,共鉴定出22种不同的酪氨酸磷酸酶。在使用免疫组织化学检查了5种酪氨酸磷酸酶(PTPRA、PTPRB、PTPRD、PTPRG和PTPRZ)之后,观察到PTPRA/PTPRZ表达与胃癌进展(包括淋巴管侵犯和肝/腹膜转移)之间存在密切关联。
