Objective: Carcinoma of endometrium is a common malignant tumor of female reproductive system,with a going up inckdence in recent years. At present., we have known that its happening was a complex course with many factors,many phases,many genes'rariance and cumulations,but we haven't known its molecular biological mechanism of coming on. Survivin, as one of ICP discoveried recently, expresses selectivily in many common malignant tumor, but it doesn't express in normal tissue, by the side of carcinoma and adult differentiational tissue. It has double functions: restraining apoptotice of cell and adjusting mitosis. Takai et. Found by immunoassay that Survivin expressed hardly in normal endometrium, 0-5.1% in proliferative phase, 0-15.8% in secretory phase, oppositively expressed highly in tissue of endometrial carcinoma. At the same time, they found that the discrepancy of positive rate of Survivin was related closely to the clinical phases, different histological staging, whether or not intruding into 1/2 of uterine muscularis and clinical prognosis. So they considered that Survivin was a marker with which could diagnose the disease and estimate the prognosis of endometrium carcinoma. PTEN gene is an inhibitory gene of tumor found in 1997 by three studying groups with three different methods. It's the most standing-out characteristic is that it has both activity of PIP and activity of DSP. Not only it can induce apoptotice and restrain mitosis of cell, but also it can effect on many side of cellularphysiologics. It mutated in many evolutional tumors, but had the highest mutation rate, so it was called"house keeper gene"of endometrium carcinoma. Lax et. Divided endometrium carcinoma into two... |
