Abnormal nuclear morphology associated with cancer may reflect changes in the proteins of the nuclear matrix.
Nuclear matrix (NM) proteins were isolated from colonic tissue and analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.
Several matrix proteins that were found in ulcerative colitis (UC) dysplasia (n = 5) and/or UC cancer (n = 4) were not identified in normal colonic tissue. UC dysplasia tissue showed three specific NM proteins with molecular masses of 49.2 kDa, 20.0 kDa, and 19.0 kDa, whereas 29.0-kDa and 32.0-kDa proteins were specific to UC cancer. Three proteins with 59.5-kDa (pI 6.3 and 6.6) and 33.75-kDa (pI 7.5) masses were common to both dysplasia and cancer tissue.
These data suggest that NM proteins may have a role in the transition of tissue towards the malignant phenotype.
与癌症相关的异常核形态可能反映核基质蛋白的变化。
从结肠组织中分离核基质(NM)蛋白,并通过二维凝胶电泳进行分析。
在溃疡性结肠炎(UC)发育异常(n = 5)和/或UC癌(n = 4)中发现的几种基质蛋白在正常结肠组织中未被鉴定出来。UC发育异常组织显示出三种特定的NM蛋白,分子量分别为49.2 kDa、20.0 kDa和19.0 kDa,而29.0-kDa和32.0-kDa蛋白是UC癌特有的。两种发育异常组织和癌组织中都存在分子量为59.5-kDa(pI 6.3和6.6)和33.75-kDa(pI 7.5)的三种蛋白。
这些数据表明,NM蛋白可能在组织向恶性表型的转变中起作用。
