HIF-1α、P-gp在胰腺癌中的表达及其临床病理学的意义

摘要

目的 检测HIF-1α、P-gp蛋白在胰腺癌组织中的表达,探讨它们的临床病理学意义及其相互之间的相关性.方法 应用免疫组织化学法检测74例胰腺癌组织,10例正常胰腺组织中HIF-1α、P-gp蛋白的表达.结果 HIF-1α、P-gp蛋白在胰腺癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为75.7%和86.5%,而正常胰腺组织中均呈阴性表达(P＜0.05).胰腺癌组织中HIF-1α和P-gp蛋白的表达呈显著正相关(r=0.304,P=0.009).胰腺癌组织中的HIF-1α蛋白表达与淋巴结转移、TNM分期呈正相关(P＜0.05);胰腺癌组织中的P-gp蛋白表达与淋巴结转移呈正相关,P-gp高表达与年龄大于60岁有关(P＜0.05).HIF-1α和P-gp蛋白高表达者的中位生存期明显短于低表达者(P＜0.05).结论 胰腺癌组织中HIF-1α、P-gp蛋白的表达上调,HIF-1α和P-gp呈正相关.胰腺癌组织中HIF-1α和P-gp蛋白的表达与淋巴结转移呈正相关.胰腺癌组织中HIF-1α和P-gp蛋白的高表达与预后差有关.%Objective To investigate the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp protein in pancreatic carcinoma and determine their clinicopathological significance and the correlation between the expression of HIF-1α, P-gp and the clinical prognosis. Method In samples from 74 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and 10 healthy individuals, the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp were detected by immunohistochemical method. Results The positive expression rate of HIF-1α and P-gp was 75.7% and 86.5%,respectively, which were remarkably higher than that in normal pancreatic tissue (P＜0.05). There was a positive correlation between the expression of HIF-1α and that of P-gp. The aberrant expression of HIF-1α and P-gp was associated with lymph node metastasis but not the location, size, clinical stages and nerve invasion of the tumor. Patients with high intensity of HIF-1α and P-gp expression showed a significantly lower median survival time than those with low intensity expression.Conclusions The expression of HIF-1α and P-gp is up-regulated in pancreatic carcinoma and there is a positive correlation between them. The expression of HIF-1α and P-gp might be related to the lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis.
