초록

사이모신 베타 4와 관련 단백질인 HIF-$1{\alpha}$ 및 VEGF의 발현을 여러 인간 암 조직에서 tissue microarray를 사용하여 조사하였다. 사이모신 베타 4는 골육중, 대장 선암, 식도 편평세포암, 신장 및 방광의 이행세포암, 폐암 및 간암에서 많이 발현되었으며 HIF-$1{\alpha}$은 비강 역위성 유두종, 폐암 및 식도 편평세포암에서 강한 발현을 보였으며 대체로 발현되는 양상이나 위치가 사이모신 베타 4와 일치하는 것으로 관찰되었다. VEGF는 암 조직에서보다 암조직에 분포된 혈관내피에서 강하게 발현되는 양상을 나타내었으며 암세포에서는 사이모신 베타 4나 HIF-$1{\alpha}$에 비해 강하게 발현되지 않았다. 위암, 간 혈관육종, 담낭 선암과 자궁 내막 선암에서 적당 수준의 VEGF 발현이 관찰되었으며 VEGF의 발현 양상 및 위치는 위암, 골육종, 지방종, 폐암, 간암, 담낭 선암, 식도 편평세포암, 대장 및 직장암, 신세포암을 포함하는 특정 암에서 사이모신 베타 4 및 HIF-$1{\alpha}$와 일치하는 것으로 관찰되었다.

Thymosin ${\beta}4$ (TB-4) has been reported to play a key role in tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. In addition, TB-4 induced the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stabilized the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-$1{\alpha}$ in melanoma cells. Although the importance of thymosin ${\beta}4$ in angiogenesis and metastasis has been proven, there are few studies that show the expression patterns of TB-4, VEGF and HIF-$1{\alpha}$. This study was conducted to analyze the relationship among these proteins in various tumors. Using tissue microarray analysis, we investigated the expression patterns of TB-4, VEGF and HIF-$1{\alpha}$ in various tumors to identify the expression patterns and relationships of these proteins in certain tumors. TB-4 was highly expressed in osteosarcoma, colon adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, kidney and urinary bladder transitional carcinoma, lung cancer, and liver cancer. HIF-$1{\alpha}$ was highly expressed in nasal cavity inverted papilloma, lung cancer, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The expression patterns of TB-4 and HIF-$1{\alpha}$ were almost similar and co-localized. VEGF expression was high in the blood vessels in tumors, but usually not high in the tumors themselves. VEGF was moderately expressed in stomach cancer, liver angiosarcoma, gall bladder adenocarcinoma, and uterus endometrial adenocarcinoma. The expression patterns of VEGF shows similarities in certain tumors including stomach cancer, osteosarcoma, liposarcoma, lung cancer, liver cancer, gall bladder adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, stomach cancer, colorectal carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. These results suggest that the expression patterns of TB-4, HIF-$1{\alpha}$ and VEGF were co-localized and related to tumorigenesis and angiogenesis of certain tumors.
