Abstract
Background : Transcriptional factors of the CREB(cAMP Response Element Binding Protein) are involved in the regulation of gene expression in response to a variety of signaling pathways. Proteins produced by the CREB genes play key roles in many physiological processes, including memory and long-term potentiation. The retinoic acid receptor (RAR) axis mediates epithelial cell differentiation and proliferation in many tissues including the lung. Material and method : The RAR and CREB expression levels were examined in 60 adenocarcinomas and 60 squamous cell carcinomas of the lung using immunohistochemical staining. Results : 1) RAR protein expression was found in 58.3%(35/60) of adenocarcinomas and 36.7%(22/60) of squamous cell carcinomas(P<0.05). 2) RAR protein expression was found in 80%(16/20) of well differentiated adenocarcinomas, 60%(12/20) of moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas, and 35%(7/20) of poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (P<0.01). 3) RAR protein expression was found in 45%(9/20) of well differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, 35%(7/20) of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, and 30%(6/20) of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas (P>0.05). 4) CREB expression was found in 61.7%(37/60) of adenocarcinomas and 40%(24/60) of squamous cell carcinomas( P<0.05). 5) CREB expression was found in 85%(17/20) of well differentiated adenocarcinomas, 60%(12/20) of moderately differentiated adenocarcinomas, and 40%(8/20) of poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas (P<0.01). 6) CREB expression was found in 45%(9/20) of well differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, 35%(7/20) of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, and 35%(8/20) of poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas(P>0.05). 7) RAR and CREB expression was found in 68.5% of lung cancers, and there was a significant correlation between them(P<0.05). Conclusion : RAR and CREB expression can be used to indirectly determine the malignant potentiality of a cell.
