AIM: To investigate the effects of p57kip2 and p27kip1 proteins on the development and progression of pancreatic cancer.
METHODS: Expression of p57kip2 and p27kip1 proteins in tumor and adjacent tissues of 32 patients with pancreatic cancer were detected by SP immunohistochemical technique.
RESULTS: p57kip2 protein positive rate in tumor tissues of pancreatic cancer was 46.9%, which was lower than that in adjacent pancreatic tissues (75.0%)(x2 = 5.317, P < 0.05), p57kip2 protein expression correlated remarkably with tumor cell differentiation (x2 = 4.979, P < 0.05), but did not correlate with lymph node metastasis (x2 = 3.698, P < 0.05); p27kip1 protein positive rate in the tumor tissues was 56.3%, which was lower than that in adjacent pancreatic tissues (84.4%) (x2 = 6.063, P < 0.05). p27kip1 expression was correlated remarkably with tumor cell differentiation and lymph node metastasis (x2 = 5.776; x2 = 4.097, P < 0.05). p57kip2 protein positive rate (50.0%) in p27kip1 protein positive group was higher than that (42.9%) in p27kip1 protein negative group, and there was no significant correlation between the two groups (r = 0.19657, P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: p57kip2 and p27kip1 proteins may play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of human pancreatic cancer. Decreased expression of p57kip2 and p27kip1 proteins is subject to the development of pancreatic cancer and determination of cell differentiation degree, and helpful to evaluate prognosis of the diseases.
