To evaluate the expression of the bcl-2 proto-oncogene in uveal malignant melanomas.
We studied 20 uveal malignant melanomas (19 choroidal and 1 ciliary body) by immunohistochemistry with the bcl-2 oncoprotein monoclonal antibody and the cell proliferation marker, MIB-1.
Expression of bcl-2 was found in 100% of cases and was not correlated with the histologic subtype of melanoma or the MIB-1 proliferative index. Normal choroidal melanocytes were negative for bcl-2.
Our results suggest that altered expression of bcl-2 is common in uveal melanomas and is not related to histologic grade.
评估bcl-2原癌基因在葡萄膜恶性黑色素瘤中的表达情况。
我们采用bcl-2癌蛋白单克隆抗体和细胞增殖标志物MIB-1,通过免疫组织化学方法研究了20例葡萄膜恶性黑色素瘤(19例脉络膜黑色素瘤和1例睫状体黑色素瘤)。
在所有病例中均发现bcl-2表达,且其与黑色素瘤的组织学亚型或MIB-1增殖指数无关。正常脉络膜黑色素细胞bcl-2呈阴性。
我们的结果表明,bcl-2表达改变在葡萄膜黑色素瘤中很常见,且与组织学分级无关。
