title: [Expression peculiarities of EGR1, neurotrophins and their receptor genes in human lung cancer and in normal lung tissue].
abstract: Expression of certain neurotrophin genes and their receptors, as well as NGF-induced gene EGRI was studied in human normal lung, squamous cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma tissues. Differential expression pattern of NGF, BDNF, and NT-3 mRNA was established by RT-PCR in normal human lung. NGF expression level varying from minor to significant was demonstrated in double specimens (histologically diagnosed human lung cancer and appropriate adjacent tissue). Interestingly, a half of the double specimens studied demonstrated the differential expression pattern in both cancer and adjacent tissues, whereas in other cases no difference in the NGF expression between these pair of tissues was observed. In the majority of the double specimens, we detected low levels of NT3 and BDNF expression for both cancer and adjacent tissue. No expression of TrkA, TrkB, p75 was found in double specimens and normal tissues. Differential expression patterns of TrkC were observed in normal tissues as well as in certain double specimens. High levels of EGR1 expression were detected in normal tissues. No EGRI expression was observed in cancer tissue compared to its high expression level in adjacent tissue in the majority of double specimens.
