摘要
目的探讨抑癌基因TCEAL7在乳腺组织中的表达特征及其与人端粒酶逆转录酶(h TERT)间的相互关系。方法运用RT-PCR技术检测乳腺良性组织及乳腺癌组织中TCEAL7、h TERT的表达状况,收集对应患者的临床及基本病理资料[包括年龄、淋巴结转移状态、TNM分期及免疫组化结果(ER、PR及HER2表达情况)],利用统计学方法分析讨论它们之间的相互关系。结果 TCEAL7基因在14例乳腺良性组织中全部表达,但在55例乳腺癌组织中却没有发现表达;h TERT在乳腺良性组织中有1例表达,在乳腺癌组织中有40例表达。h TERT(+)及APBs(+)组之间年龄、肿瘤大小、淋巴结转移及病理分期均差异无统计学意义。在分析h TERT与临床基本资料时,发现其与临床分期相关。结论抑癌基因TCEAL7在乳腺正常组织中高表达,在乳腺癌组织中几乎没有表达。在细胞水平,TCEAL7基因在端粒延长替代机制细胞中高表达,而在端粒酶阳性细胞中低表达,并且促进h TERT的转录,发现h TERT表达与肿瘤的病理分期相关。
