柯萨奇-腺病毒受体在小细胞肺癌组织中阳性表达的意义(英文)

摘要

Objective: We explored the expression of coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tissue. Methods: CAR expression in 31 SCLC was assessed in formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue according to the EnVision immunohistochemistry procedure, while 3 samples of surgical specimens of non-malignant lung disease were taken as the negative control. Results: We observed that the expression of CAR was detectable positive in all the 31 cases from the small cell lung cancer tissue, in contrasting that non-malignant lung tissue control. Conclusion: The high expression of CAR appeared in SCLC tissue indicates that it play an important role in of adenovirus vector-based gene therapy in SCLC.
