摘要
目的探讨胃癌组织中CXC趋化因子受体4(CXC chemokine receptor 4,CXCR4)和血管内皮生长因子C(vascular endothelial growth factor C,VEGF-C)的表达及其临床意义。方法采用免疫组织化学法和RT-PCR法检测290例胃癌组织和150例正常胃黏膜组织中CXCR4和VEGF-C的表达,并比较其与临床病理特征的关系。结果免疫组织化学检查显示,胃癌组织中CXCR4和VEGF-C的阳性表达率分别为83.3%和65.0%,而正常胃黏膜组织中表达均为阴性。RT-PCR检测显示,胃癌组织中CXCR4和VEGF-C mRNA表达均高于正常胃黏膜组织(均P<0.01)。胃癌组织中CXCR4 mRNA表达量在淋巴结转移方面比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01),VEGF-C mRNA表达量在癌组织浸润深度和淋巴结转移方面比较,差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。CXCR4和VEGF-C mRNA在胃癌组织中的表达量呈正相关(r=0.346,P<0.05)。结论 CXCR4与VEGF-C在胃癌组织中高表达,在胃癌的发生、侵袭和转移过程中起重要作用。
Objective To study the expression of CXC chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)and vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGF-C) in gastric carcinoma and to investigate its clinical significance. Methods The expression of CXCR4 and VEGF-C in 290 tissue samples of gastric cancer and 150 tissue samples of normal gastric mucosa were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR,and their correlation with pathological characteristics was compared. Results The positive rates of CXCR4 and VEGF-C protein expression in gastric carcinoma were 83.3% and 65.0%, respectively, while no expression was detected in normal gastric tissue. The positive expressions of CXCR4 and VEGF-C mRNA were obviously higher in gastric cancer than those in normal gastric mucosa(P<0.01).The expression of CXCR4 mRNA was significantly different in terms of lymph node metastasis(P<0.01). The expression of VEGF-C mRNA was significantly different in terms of tumor infiltration depth and lymph node metastasis(both P<0.05). The expressions of CXCR4 and VEGF-C mRNA were positively correlated(r=0.346,P<0.05). Conclusion CXCR4 and VEGF-C were highly expressed in gastric carcinoma,that plays an important role in the tumorigenesis,progression,invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.
