Relationship of PARG with PARP, VEGF and b-FGF in colorectal carcinoma

Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship of poly(ADP-ribose)glycohydrolase(PARG) with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(b-FGF) in colorectal carcinoma(CRC).MethodsImmunohistochemical analysis was used to detect PARG, PARP, VEGF and b-FGF in human colorectal carcinoma. Flow cytometry was used to detect PARG and PARP in murine CT26 cell line. Gallotannin (GLTN) was served as PARG inhibitor.ResultsThe individual positive rates of PARG, PARP, VEGF and b-FGF were 55.81%(24/43), 97.67%(42/43), 79.07%(34/43) and 81.40%(35/43), respectively, which were significantly higher than those of control group. The positive PARG was correlated to PARP(r=0.3703, P<0.05) and b-FGF (r=0.4838, P<0.05). The positive PARP was correlated to VEGF (r=0.3968, P<0.05) and b-FGF (r=0.5610, P<0.05). Both PARG and PARP were expressed in CT26 cells. The positive staining rates of PARG and PARP in GLTN-treated group were 7.3% and 52.38%, respectively. They were markedly reduced than those of control group (55.41% and 95.28%, P<0.01, n=10000).ConclusionThe data suggest that PARG expression probably plays a role for VEGF and b-FGF expression in colorectal carcinoma.
