摘要
背景:DPC_4基因是一个抑癌基因,K-ras基因是癌基因,两者均具有
胰腺癌特异性,它们的基因产物分别为Smad_4和P~(21ras)蛋白。目的:分析抑癌蛋白
Smad_4和癌蛋白P~(21ras)在胰腺癌和壶腹周围癌组织中的表达及其与胰腺癌的临床和
病理特征的关系,了解两种蛋白对胰腺癌与壶腹周围癌鉴别诊断的意义。方法:
采用Smad_4和P~(21ras)的单克隆抗体和免疫组织化学EnVision方法分别检测石蜡包埋
的22例胰腺癌、15例壶腹周围癌、9例胰腺癌远处淋巴结转移组织、18例良性胰
腺病变组织和3例正常胰腺组织共67例标本中的Smad_4蛋白失活和P~(21ras)蛋白表
达情况,所有被检标本均经病理诊断证实。结果:胰腺癌中,Smad_4蛋白失活率为
50.00%(11/22);壶腹周围癌中的失活率为13.33%(2/15);胰腺癌远处淋巴结转
移组织中失活率为44.44%(4/9);胰腺良性病变中为16.67%(3/18),其中慢性
胰腺炎为23.08%(3/13),胰腺囊肿和胰腺囊腺瘤未发现该蛋白失活;正常胰腺中无
该蛋白失活。P~(21ras)蛋白在胰腺癌中的表达率为77.27%(17/22);在壶腹周围癌中表
达率为26.67%(4/15);胰腺癌远处淋巴结转移组织中的表达率为44.44%(4/9);良
性胰腺病变中的表达率为38.89%(7/18),其中慢性胰腺炎为38.46%(5/13),胰腺囊
腺瘤为100.00%(2/2),胰腺囊肿未发现该蛋白表达;正常胰腺中未发现该蛋白表达。
胰腺癌与壶腹周围癌、胰腺良性病变间Smad_4蛋白的失活率及P~(21ras)蛋白表达率有
显著差异(p<0.05)。胰腺癌中Smad_4蛋白的失活率和P~(21ras)蛋白表达率与患者年
龄、性别、症状、肿块大小、肿瘤部位、病理分级、临床分期和淋巴结转移无明
显相关(p>0.05)。各病变Smad_4蛋白失活率与P~(21ras)蛋白表达率间无相关关系(p
>O.05)。结论:用免疫组织化学方法检测Smad_4和P~(21ras)蛋白已成为了解胰腺癌中
DPC_4和K-ras基因改变的非常敏感、特异的方法。两种蛋白的检测有助于胰腺癌
与壶腹周围癌、良性胰腺病变的鉴别诊断。在K-ras基因突变这一胰腺癌发生的早
期事件之后,DPC_4基因在促进胰腺癌进一步发展中起着重要作用。
Background: DPC4 gene is an anti-oncogene, K-ras is an oncogene,
both of them are specific markers to pancreatic carcinoma, and their products are
2 ras
protein Smad4 and P Objective: To investigate the expression of anti-oncogene
product Smad4 and oncogene product P2lras in pancreatic carcinoma and periampullar
carcinoma, and the relationship of them to the clinic pathological characteratics; to
elucidate the role of the two proteins expression on the differential diagnosis of
pancreatic carcinoma and periampullar carcinoma. Methods: 67 paraffin-embedded
and pathologically proved specimens including pancreatic carcinoma (n=22),
periampullar carcinoma (n=1 5), lymph node with pancreatic carcinoma metastasis (n9),
benign disease of pancreas (n=1 8) and normal pancreas (m=3) were
immunohistochemically stained with monoclonal primary antibodies of Smad4 and
p2lras respectively by using the EnVision system. Results: Loss of Smad4 was
detected in II specimens of 22 pancreatic carcinomas (50.00%), 2 of 15
periampullar carcinomas (13.33%), 4 of 9 lymph nodes with pancreatic carcinoma
metastasis (44.44%), 3 of 18 benign diseases of pancreas (16.67%), 3 of 13 chronic
pancreatitis (23.08%) and none of 3 normal pancreata (0.00%). The positive
2lras
expression rate of P was 77.27% in pancreatic carcinomas (17/22), 26.67% in
periampullar carcinomas (4/15), 44.44% in lymph nodes with pancreatic carcinoma
metastasis (4/9), 3 8.89% in benign diseases of pancreas (7/18), 38.46% in chronic
pancreatitis (5/13) and none in normal pancreata (0/3) respectively. The loss of
Smad4 showed significant difference in pancreatic carcinoma and periampullar
carcinoma as compared to benign disease of pancreas (p <0.05) , so did the positive
expression 0fp2lraS (p <0.05) . The loss of Smad4 was not significant related to the age,
sex, symptom, tumor size, tumor site, pathological degree, clinical stages and lymph
node metastasis (p >0.05) ,. and neither was the expression of p2lras (p >0.05) . Loss
of Smad4 was not related to the expression 0fp2lras in each disease (p >0.05) ,just as
reported in other carcinomas. Conclusions: Immunohistochemical labeling for the
Smad4 and P2lras has been shown to be an extremely sensitive and specific method for
detecting the DPC4 and K-ras alterations in pancreatic carcinoma. To detect DPC4 and
K-ras gene expression could be helpful in the differential diagnosis among
pancreatic carcinoma, periampullar carcinoma and the benign diseases. The K-ras
gene occurs early in the carcinogenesis of pancreatic carcinoma, and thereafter the
loss of DPC# plays a very important role in the progress of pancreatic carcinoma.
