摘要
目的:探讨赖氨酰化酶(LOX)在乳腺癌组织、正常乳腺组织和乳腺良性病变组织中的表达,并与乳腺癌患者年龄、肿瘤大小、腋窝淋巴结转移与否、临床分期及HIF-1进行比较,探讨其与乳腺癌侵袭/转移的关系。方法:应用免疫组织化学技术检测56例乳腺癌组织、56例正常乳腺组织及20例乳腺良性病变组织中LOX和HIF-1的表达情况,并应用相关统计学方法进行分析。结果:LOX蛋白在乳腺癌组织、正常乳腺组织和良性病变组织中的表达率分别为48.21%(27/56)、26.78%(15/56)和20.00%(4/20),乳腺癌与正常乳腺组织(P=0.019)、乳腺癌与乳腺良性病变组织(P=0.028)之间的LOX蛋白表达率差异有统计学意义,而正常乳腺组织与良性病变组织之间的LOX蛋白表达率差异无统计学意义,P=0.519;LOX蛋白在不同临床分期(P=0.005)和淋巴结转移(P=0.042)中的表达率差异有统计学意义,但在不同年龄和肿瘤大小患者的癌组织中LOX蛋白的表达率差异无统计学意义,P值分别为0.182和0.058。LOX蛋白与HIF-1α蛋白之间呈正相关,r=0.368,P=0.005。结论:LOX蛋白在乳腺癌组织中高表达。乳腺癌临床分期越晚,肿瘤组织中LOX蛋白的表达率越高。伴淋巴结转移乳腺癌LOX蛋白表达率高于无淋巴结转移者。LOX蛋白表达率与肿瘤大小、患者年龄无关。LOX蛋白与HIF-1α蛋白之间呈正相关。
OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of LOX and HIF-1 protein in human breast cancer tissues and explore the relationship between LOX expression and patient's age, tumor size, axillary node metastasis, clinical stage, HIF-1 protein expression. METHODS: The expressions of LOX and HIF-1 Protein in 56 cases of human breast cancer tissues, 56 normal breast tissues and 20 cases of breast benign lesion tissues was detected by SP immunohistochemistry, RESULTS: The expression rate of LOX pro tein in breast cancer, normal breast tissues and breast benign lesion tissue were 48. 21 % (27/56), 26. 78% (15/56) and 20.00% (4/20), statistical difference was found among them (P= 0.019). Statistical difference was found between breast carcinoma group, and benign lesion group (P = 0. 028). And no significant difference was found between normal breast tissues and benign lesion(P= 0.519). The expression of LOX protein were associated with clinical stage (P= 0.005), lymph node metastasis (P =0.042), but had no correlation with age and tumor size (P= 0. 182 and 0. 058). The LOX protein had significant positive corre- lation with the HIF-1α protein expression in breast cancer (r=0.368,P=0.005). CONCLUSIONS: LOX protein expression is increased in breast cancer tumor tissues. LOX is related with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. LOX and HIF-1α have a synergistic effect in breast cancer invasion and metastasis.
