Abstract:

Objective To investigate clinical significance and expression between apoptosis and the expression of the related genes of p53,bcl-2 and bax in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods The expression of bcl-2, bax and p53 protein and apoptosis cells were detected by immunohistochemical S-P method respectively in tissues of 36 cases of  PCa, 20 BPH and 11 NP.   Results   ① It showed that bcl-2 expression in Pca was significantly higher than that in NP and BPH (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between PCa and BPH(P>0.05). p53 expression in PCa was significantly higher than that in BPH and NP (P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between BPH and NP(P>0.05). ② In the tissue of Pca, p53 and bcl-2 expression was positively correlated with pathological grade, as PCa increased in grades (P<0.05, P<0.01).It showed that expression levels of bcl-2 and p53 protein in PCa tissues increased with the progression of pathological grade. Bax positive expressing rate difference had no significance in PCa, BPH and NP. ③The expression of p53 was frequently detected in shorter-than-5-year survival group, than it was in longer-than-5-year survival group(P<0.05). That of bcl-2 expression was not related to survival period(P>0.05).   Conclusion    The over-expression of apoptosis-related genes: bcl-2,bax and p53 might be related to the carcinogenesis,progression pathological grade and prognosis of prostate carcinoma
