摘要
目的研究间皮素(MESO)在卵巢癌中的表达及意义。方法用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT—PCR)技术和免疫组化方法分别检测卵巢肿瘤和正常卵巢组织中MESO mRNA及其蛋白水平。结果MESO mRNA和蛋白在上皮性卵巢癌(1.4005±0.4646,2.7857±2.2712)和交界性卵巢肿瘤(1.0650±0.3100,2.9167±2.391)中的表达水平高于良性卵巢肿瘤(0.6463±0.2419,1.2500±1.6125)和正常卵巢组织(0.6439±0.2729,0.9167±1.2401),差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);MESOmRNA和蛋白在浆液性卵巢癌(1.5255±0.4151,3.3036±2.6141)和子宫内膜样癌(1.5250±0.5419,3.0000±2.3094)中的表达水平高于黏液样癌(1.0675±0.3149,1.0556±1.9242),差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);临床Ⅲ、Ⅳ期MESO表达水平(1.5100±0.4142,3.6087±3.3959)高于I、Ⅱ期(1.1190±0.4909,1.7895±2.6320),差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。MESO表达水平与病理分级有关(P〈0.05),而与患者年龄和血清CA125水平无关(P〉0.05)。结论MESOmRNA及蛋白在卵巢癌和交界性肿瘤组表达增高,MESO可能参与卵巢癌的黏附转移。
Objective To investigate the expression of mesothelin (MESO) mRNA and protein and its significance in ovarian carcinomas. Methods Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression level of MESO mRNA and protein, respectively, in 124 samples of ovarian tumor and normal tissues, including 84 epithelial ovarian carcinomas, 1 2 borderline ovarian tumors , 1 6 benign ovarian tumors and 1 2 normal ovarian tissues. Results The expression of MESO mRNA and protein in epithelial ovarian carcinomas ( 1. 4005 ± 0. 4646,2. 7857 ± 2. 2712) and borderline ovarian tumors ( 1. 0650±0.3100, 2. 9167±2.391 ) were significantly higher than that in benign ovarian tumors (0.6463±0. 2419, 1. 2500 ± 1. 6125 ) and normal ovarian tissues (0.6439 ± 0.2729, 0. 9167 ± 1. 2401 ) ( P 〈 0. 05 ), and also significantly higher in serous cystadenocarcinoma ( 1. 5255 ± 0.4151,3. 3036 ± 2.6141 ) and endometrioid carcinoma ( 1. 5250 ± 0.5419, 3. 0000 ± 2. 3094 ) than that in mueinous eystadenoeareinoma ( 1. 0675 ± 0.3149,1. 0556 ± 1. 9242 ) ( P 〈 0.05 ). The expression of MESO mRNA and protein in stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ carcinomas (1. 5100±0.4142,3. 6087 ± 3. 3959) was significantly higher than that in stages I and II carcinomas ( 1.1190 ± 0.4909,1. 7895 ± 2.6320 ;P 〈 0.05) , and also significantly higher in grade 3 carcinomas than that in grade 1 and 2 ones (P 〈0.05 ) , but was not correlate with age or serum CA125 of the patients (P 〉 0.05 ). Condusion The results of this study demonstrated that the expression of MESO mRNA and protein is increased in ovarian carcinomas and borderline ovarian tumors, and MESO may play a role in the adhesion and dissemination of ovarian carcinomas.
