Background: Lung cancer formation is a multistage process involving activation of protooncogene and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. We evaluate the significance of cyclin D1, p53, bcl-2 gene mutations in patients with curatively resected stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Material and Method: One hundred consecutive cases of stage IIIA lung cancers from patients operated on curatvely between 1990 and 1995 for which adequate paraffin blocks and clinical history were available. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on the representative tissue sections from each case by the labelled streptovidin- biotin method. Sections for cyclin D1, p53, Bcl-2 immunostaining were pretreated in a microwave oven for 10 to 20 minutes in citrate buffer before immunostaining. The overnight incubation with NCL-cyclin D1-GM for cyclin D1, with clone DO-7 for p53, with clone 124 for bcl-2 was done. Mean follow-up was 24.1 months (range 2-84 months) after operation. Result: One hundred cases of lung cancers were composed of 56 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 37 cases of adenocarcinoma, 5 cases of adenosquamous cell carcinoma, and 2 cases of large cell carcinoma. The 5-year survival was 32.1%. The positive expression rate of cyclin D1 was 35%, p53 was 56%, and bcl-2 was 17%. But there were no correlation between cyclin D1, p53, Bcl-2 protein expression and survival. Conclusion: These observation indicate that cyclin D1, p53, bcl-2 protein overexpression might be implicated in the oncogenesis of non-small cell lung carcinomas but they have no usefulness as a prognostic marker.
