<正>Objective: To better understand the cell origin and pathogenetic step of central nervous system he-mangioblastomas (CNS HB). Methods: 14 VHL-associ-ated CNS HB, 21 none VHL-associated CNS HB and 15 normal brain tissues were collected and all the specimens were sectioned and subjected to routine histology and im-munohistochemistry analysis. Avidin-biotin-complex immunoperoxidase was used to evaluate the expression of CD31, CD34, CD117, CD133, Nestin, erythropoietin (EPO) in CNS HB. Another three mixed samples collected from 5 VHL-associated CNS HB, 7 none VHL-asociated CNS HB and 7 normal brain tissues were analyzed by using Oligo cDNA microarray to screen the stem cells markers, of which the gene expression levels had distinct differences among VHL associated HB, none VHL associated HB and normal brain tissues. RT-PCR and Western blot was used to confirm the validity of the results. Results: After inunu-nochemistry analysis, all CNS HB pathological sections were observed to express stem cells markers including CD31, CD34, CD117, CD133, Nestin. The results of cDNA microarray showed higher gene expression levels of several important stem cells markers including ABCG2, AXIN1, BMP2, CD3, CD4, etc of CNS HB than those of normal brain tissues and no expression difference of the markers was found between VHL and none VHL-associated HB. Both immunochemistry and cDNA microarray suggested that EPO was highly expressed in CNS HB but the expression level of VHL-associated HB was higher than that of none VHL-associated HB. Conclusions: The study suggests that CNS HB can express markers of mes- enchymal stem cells and may have an origin of mesenchy-mal stem cells. The expression of EPO may be a critical pathogenetic step as a cell proliferation stimulus but has different contributions in VHL and none VHL-associated HB.

Obejctive: To establish detailed protein expression maps of central nervous system bemangioblastomas (CNS HB) and identify discrepant proteins between HB and normal brain tissues by using proteomics analysis so as to better understand the histological origin of CNS ***: Ten individual brain regions with five HB tissues (HB group) and five normal cerebellar tissues (control group) were *** proteins were extracted from the samples and process of two dimensional gel *** excision,in- gel digestion, MALDI - TOF MS and bioinformatics analysis were carried out. Results: After 2 - DE, high - resolution maps containing about 600 protein spots of HB and normal brain tissues were *** 2 - DE maps show a satisfactory homology between HB and normal brain tissues. By using the ImageMaster 2D software, 115 discrepant protein spots between HB and normal brain tissues could be selected and 87 of them were successfully identified by MALDI - TOF MS. Among them,46 proteins expressions were up - regulated while 41 were down - regulated. According to their functional role,the identified proteins could be divided into several groups including transport,protein metabolism and folding,glycolysis and stem cell proteins,et *** results of immunohistochemistry staining of EPO, Vimentin and 14-3-3 proteins could authenticate the validity of the proteomics analysis in this study. Conclusions: The process of CNS HB occurring is an intricate, multicomponent, multifactorial and multi-step process which is mediated by a variety of *** HB as a kind of tumors may come from normal brain mesenchymal *** proteins such as EPO、Vimentin and 14-3-3 may play an important role in the occurring of HB.
