| Abstract: | Cytokeratin-19 is an intermediate filament protein associated with the integrity of cell structure, and its elevated expression has been reported to correlate with the disease progression of oesophagus and lung cancers. In this study, we examined the level of cytokeratin-19 in five cervical cancer cell lines by immunobinding and Western blotting analyses. Compared with two control cell lines, FS-4 (foreskin cell line) and G9T (glioma cell line), all five cervical carcinoma cell lines (Caski, CC7T, ME180, HeLa and SIHA) showed higher cytokeratin-ls expression. By double-staining flow cytometry, expression of cytokeratin-19 in cervical cancer cells was suggested to be in a cell cycle-independent manner. Furthermore, we could specifically localize the SIHA cell-derived tumours in nude mice by injecting with cytokeratin-19-recognized radiolabelled MAb Cx-99 antibody, suggesting the possibility of using cytokeratin-19 as a marker of cervical carcinoma. A clinical investigation was therefore performed on 19 patients (11 patients with cervical carcinoma and eight patients with benign neoplasia). In the 11 patients having cervical carcinoma, all eight patients with advanced stages and one out of three patients with early stage diseases showed higher cytokeratin-19 protein contents than the other 10 patients with benign neoplasia, This suggested that elevation of cytokeratin-19 level was associated with cervical cancer staging. In addition, we have studied the biological significance of elevated cytokeratin-19 level in malignant cervical cancer, The apoptotic rate of cervical carcinoma cells in response to cisplatin was increased if their cellular cytokeratin-19 level was reduced by specific antibody MAb Cx-99, These results indicated that elevation of cytokeratin-19 expression could associate with the apoptotic resistance and malignant progression of cervical carcinoma. |
