title: [Effect of chemokine interleukin-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 on the angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detect the expressions of chemokines interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 (MIP-1) mRNA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, to analyze their relationship with microvessel counts (MVC), and their significance in clinic pathologic features of NSCLC.
  
  
  METHODS
  In situ hybridization was used to measure the expressions of chemokine IL-8, MCP-1, and MIP-1 mRNA in 40 NSCLC tissues and 10 normal pulmonary tissues, and immunohistochemical staining was carried out to measure the MVC in the above tissues.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The positive ratios of IL-8, MCP-1, and MIP-1 mRNA in the 40 NSCLC tissues were apparently higher than those in the 10 normal contrast tissues and the difference was statistically significant. The numbers varied accordingly with the different clinic pathologic features of NSCLC, showing that Group T(3) > Group T(2) or Group T(1), Group III stage> Group II stage> Group I stage Group lymph node and remote transferred > Group non-transferred, and Group of survival time no more than 3 years > Group of survival time more than 3 years. The positive expressions among IL-8, MCP-1,and MIP-1 mRNA and between these and the MVC all had mutually positive correlation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Chemokine IL-8, MIP-1, and MIP-1 in NSCLC tissues might cooperate with one another to promote the tumor angiogenesis and affect the progression, metastasis and prognosis of the tumor.
