摘要
目的 探讨细胞外基质蛋白-1 (ECM1)和基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)在肝细胞癌组织中的表达及其与肝癌侵袭、转移及预后的关系.方法 采用免疫组织化学法检测120例肝癌组织及17例正常肝组织中ECM1和MMP-9的表达情况.结果 ECM1和MMP-9在肝癌组织中的表达阳性率分别为73.3%和65.0%,明显高于正常肝组织中的23.5%和11.8%.ECM1和MMP-9在肝癌组织中的表达与肿瘤血管侵犯及TNM分级相关,而且MMP-9还与肿瘤的大小、结节数、分化程度和肝硬化程度有关(P<0.05).两者均与患者的年龄、性别、AFP水平、HBsAg、Child分级及肿瘤包膜无关(P>0.05).ECM1和MMP-9阳性表达患者的总生存率和无瘤生存率明显低于阴性表达患者.ECM1与MMP-9两者在肝癌中的表达显著正相关(r=0.585,P<0.001).结论 ECM1和MMP-9的表达与肝癌的侵袭特性相关,与肝癌术后复发密切相关,可作预测肝癌患者手术预后及复发的指标.
Objective To investigate the expressions of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1)and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to explore their correlations with metastasis and recurrence.Methods Immunohistochemisty was employed to determine the expressions of ECM1 and MMP-9 in 120 HCC and 17 normal liver tissues.Results The positive rates of ECM1 and MMP-9 expression in HCC tissues were 73.3% (88/120) and 65.0% (78/120),respectively.They were significantly higher than that in normal liver tissues.The expression of ECM1 in HCC tissues was significantly correlated with vascular invasion and TNM stage.The expression of MMP-9 in HCC tissues was significantly correlated with tumor size,number of tumor nodules,differentiation of tumor and degree of cirrhosis.They were not correlated with age,gender,serum AFP level,HBsAg,Child-Pugh class and capsulated tumor.Patients with ECM1 and MMP-9 positivity had significantly poorer overall and disease-free survival rates.There was a significant positive correlation between ECM1 and MMP-9 (r=0.585,P〈0.001).Conclusion Both ECM1 and MMP-9 were significantly related to invasion and metastasis.Over-expression of both ECM1 and MMP-9 had predictive values for prognosis and recurrence of HCC after surgery.
