摘要: Association of p53 gene abnormalities with tumor progression and prognosis many neoplasms has been demonstrated, but little is known about the clinical significance in meningiomas. The protein expression recurrent meningiomas its relationships MDM2 proliferation activity were investigated by analyzing 39 immunohistochemically. was expressed 11 (35%) 31 non-recurrent 7 (88%) 8 A high frequency observed meningiomas, which tended to have a positive index (p53 PI), indicating that immunoreactivity may be marker for predicting recurrence. Four PIs analyzed polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism method detect mutations, none found exons 4-8 this gene. Fifteen (71%) 21 MDM2-positive 3 (17%) 18 MDM2-negative tumors protein, showing more common expression. absence mutation indicate stabilization wild type through interaction protein. Ki-67/MIB-1 (MIB-1 PI) correlated well p53-positive had significantly higher mean MIB-1 PI than p53-negative tumors, suggesting wild-type inactivation involved controlling proliferative In conclusion, immunohistochemical examination as help predict malignant potential
