摘要
We examined the expression of the p53 and bcl-2 family in embolized meningiomas and investigated the interaction between them. p53 and its downstream effector p21 accumulated mainly in perinecrotic areas, where apoptosis was also observed. bcl-2 was often expressed in the areas distant from necrosis, whereas Bax was immunostained more intensely in the perinecrotic areas. Double staining for both p53 and Bcl-2 showed a reciprocal pattern. This appeared to be due to the down-regulation of Bcl-2 by p53. However, regulation of Bax by p53 was not distinct. The expression of p21 was not apparent 13 days after embolization, and apoptosis was observed until 6 days after embolization. The effect of embolization was most likely temporary, although growth arrest has been reported to persist for a long time in a limited number of embolized cases.
