AIM: To investigate the role of small intestinal carcinoid tumor-derived fibrotic mediators, TGFβ1 and CTGF, in the mediation of fi brosis via activation of an “intestinal” stellate cell. METHODS: GI carcinoid tumors were collected for Q RT-PCR analysis of CTGF and TGFβ1. Markers of stellate cell desmoplasia were identified in peritoneal fibrosis by immunohistochemistry and stellate cells cultured from fresh resected fibrotic tissue. CTGF and TGFβ1 were evaluated using quantitative tissue array profi ling (AQUA analysis) in a GI carcinoid tissue microarray (TMA) with immunostaining and correlated with clinical and histologically documented fi brosis. Serum CTGF was analyzed using a sandwich ELISA assay. RESULTS: Message levels of both CTGF and TGFβ1 in SI carcinoid tumors were signifi cantly increased (> 2-fold, P < 0.05) versus normal mucosa and gastric (non-f ibrotic) carcinoids. Activated stellate cells and markers of stellate cell-mediated fi brosis (vimentin, desmin) were identifi ed in histological fibrosis. An intestinal stellate cell was immunocytochemically and biochemically characterized and its TGFβ1 (10-7M) initiated CTGF transcription response (> 3-fold, P < 0.05) demonstrated. In SI carcinoid tumor patients with documented fi brosis, TMA analysis demonstrated higher CTGF immunostaining (AQUA Score: 92 ± 8; P <0.05), as well as elevated TGFβ1 (90.6 ± 4.4, P < 0.05). Plasma CTGF (normal 12.5 ± 2.6 ng/mL) was increased in SI carcinoid tumor patients (31 ± 10 ng/mL, P < 0.05) compared to non-fi brotic GI carcinoids (< 15 ng/mL).CONCLUSION: SI carcinoid tumor fibrosis is a CTGF/ TGFβ1-mediated stellate cell-driven fibrotic response. The delineation of the biology of fibrosis will facilitate diagnosis and enable development of agents to obviate its local and systemic complications.

自重组人生长激素(rhGH)研制成功以来,其应用范围不断扩大.国内一些学者通过临床研究显示,在给胃肠肿瘤术后病人营养的同时加用生长激素后可明显促进蛋白质合成和组织修复,减少术后并发症[1].但同时也有学者担心,GH在改善病人营养、缓解蛋白丢失、减轻恶病质、提高免疫力的同时也可能增加了某些细胞的恶性转化素质,或可能加剧了肿瘤细胞的恶性生物学行为.故GH在肿瘤病人术后的应用仍存在一定的争议[2]。
大二时,我被分配到新生班级给辅导员帮忙。  我第一次注意到学妹,是因为新生中秋晚会。她走到讲台上,很用力地介绍:“我叫×××,来自甘肃会宁。能来上大学我很开心,不过我挺想家的……”  那时她有些微胖,脸色偏黄,短发,戴眼镜,深情得有些不自然,说完就主动隐匿到角落里。  我隐隐觉得她与别的学生不同。看她神情难过,忍不住叫住她,让她跟我去宿舍聊聊。  那一天学妹告诉我,她家有四个孩子,父母老实本分,一
