摘 要:BACKGROUND:Regulatory peptide receptors have attracted the interest of oncologists as a new promising approach for cancer pathology,imaging and *** cholecystokinin (CCK) is a potent modulator of gallbladder contractility and plays a potential role in pancreatic carcinogenesis through CCK type-A receptor (CCKAR),its role in gallbladder cancer (GBC) is still unknown and immunohistochemical detection of CCKAR in the gallbladder has not yet been *** novel case-control study aimed to investigate the expression profile of CCKAR in GBC and gallstone disease (GSD).METHODS:This study included 162 samples of gallbladder:94 from GBC and 68 from *** of CCKAR was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and *** results were statistically correlated with disease history including age,sex,presence of gallstone,stage and ***:CCKAR was positive in 30/68 (44.1%) of GSD and 72/94 (76.6%) of GBC ***-one of the 72 (70.8%) CCKAR-positive GBC samples showed ***,consistent results also appeared in the immunoblotting ***:CCKAR expression was significantly increased in GBC compared to ***,CCKAR expression was associated with the degree of tumor differentiation,i.e.,less expression in poorly-differentiated ***,it has future prognostic and therapeutic implications in the management of GBC.
