摘要
目的检测表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)、环氧合酶-2(cyclooxygenase-2,COX-2)及P63蛋白在人非小细胞肺癌(non—small cell lung cancor,NSCLC)中的表达情况,探讨其与NSCLC临床TNM分期及淋巴结转移的关系。方法采用免疫组化(S-P法)检测EGFR、COX-2及P63蛋白在78例NSCLC中的表达情况。结果EGFR、COX-2及P63蛋白在NSCLC组织中的阳性表达率分别为65.4%(51/78)、61.5%(48/78)和56.4%(44/78)。COX-2和P63的阳性表达在肺鳞癌和腺癌之间具有显著性差异(P〈0.01)。EGFR阳性表达在肺鳞癌和腺癌中无显著差异(P〉0.05)。EGFR和COX-2在NSCLC临床TNM Ⅲ~Ⅳ期和有淋巴结转移组阳性表达率均高于TNM Ⅰ~Ⅱ期和无淋巴结转移组(P〈0.01)。P63蛋白阳性表达率与TNM分期及淋巴结转移无显著差异(P〉0.05)。结论EGFR、COX-2在NSCLC组织中高表达可能促进肺癌的侵袭和转移,COX-2和P63可作为肺鳞癌和腺癌鉴别的参考指标。
Objective To investigate the expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and P63 protein in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their relationship with TNM staging and lymph node metastasis of NSCLC. Methods Seventy-eight paraffin-embedded specimens of NSCLC from 1998 -2005 were collected in this study. Inclusion criteria included no chemotherapy or radiotherapy before operation. Pathological diagnosis was made after operation: 43 squamous carcinoma and 35 adenocarcinoma, 45 with lymph node metastasis and 33 without, 13 in stage Ⅰ, 19 in stage Ⅱ, 28 in stage Ⅲ and 18 in stage Ⅳ. The expressions of EGFR, COX-2 and P63 were determined by immunohistochemical staining (S-P). Results The expression rates of EGFR, COX-2 and P63 were 65.4% (51/78), 61.5% (48/78) and 56.4% (44/78) respectively in 78 cases of NSCLC. Significant difference in the expressions of COX-2 and P63 was found between squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma (P 〈0.01 ). The expression of EGFR in NSCLC was not associated with histological types of NSCLC (P 〉 0.05 ). The positive rate of EGFR and COX-2 protein expressions in NSCLC of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and NSCLC with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and NSCLC without lymph node metastasis (P 〈 0.01 ). The positive expression of P63 in NSCLC was not associated with TNM staging and lymph node metastasis (P 〉 0.05 ). Conclusion Over-expressions of EGFR and COX-2 may play an important role in invasion and metastasis of NSCLC. COX-2 and P63 may be valuable markers in differentiating pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma from pulmonary adenoearcinoma.
