Objective To study the effects of the expressions of endostatin, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and CD34 on oncogenesis and progression of gallbladder cancer, and to explore some valuable criterias for its biotherapy. Methods  The expressions of endostatin, bFGF and CD34 were studied by means of immunohistochemistry (SP) in 61 cases of gallbladder cancer and 10 cases of normal cholecystic tissue, and microvessel density (MVD) was calculated by the expression of CD34. Their relationships with clinical pathological features were also investigated. Results  The expression rates of endostatin in normal cholecystic tissue and in gallbladder cancer tissue were 40.00% (4/10) and 77.05% (47/61) respectively, which had statistical difference (P<0.05). The expression of endostatin in 61 cases of caner was relational to clinical stage and metastasis of lymph nodes (P<0.05), while no significant correlation was detected with sex and age of patient, location of tumor, size of tumor and histologic grade (P>0.05). The expression rates of bFGF in normal cholecystic tissue and in gallbladder cancer tissue were 20.00%(2/10) and 67.21% (41/61) respectively, which had statistical difference (P<0.05). The expression of bFGF in 61 cases of caner was relational to clinical stage and metastasis of lymph nodes (P<0.05), while no significant correlation was detected with sex and age of patient, location of tumor, size of tumor and histologic grade (P>0.05). MVD in gallbladder cancer tissue and in normal cholecystic tissue was (76.66±20.15) piece/HP and (29.53±5.03) piece/HP respectively, showing significant difference (P<0.01). In 61 cases of cancer, MVD in clinical stage Ⅲ~Ⅴ 〔(80.53±17.98) piece/HP〕 was much higher than that in stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ 〔(46.79±5.38) piece/HP〕, P<0.01; MVD was higher in those with lymph nodes metastasis 〔(94.60±7.28) piece/HP〕 than those without metastasis 〔(58.12±9.24) piece/HP〕, P<0.01; and MVD was (60.59±14.71) piece/HP in histologic grade G1, (83.08±15.30) piece/HP in G2, and (96.53±6.92) piece/HP in G3, the difference was significant among them (P<0.01). There was no significant correlation between MVD and sex and age of patient, location of tumor and size of tumor (P>0.05). There were statistically significant correlations between expressions of endostatin and MVD (P<0.01), expressions of bFGF and MVD (P<0.01). Conclusions  The result suggests that endostatin, bFGF and CD34 play roles in oncogenesis and progression of gallbladder cancer. Detection of these proteins has positive effects on diagnosis, malignant degree determination and treatment of gallbladder cancer.
