【摘要】 背景与目的:Caveolin-1作为候选抑癌基因,在多种肿瘤均有异常表达。本研究探讨Caveolin-1在非癌胃粘膜、肠上皮化生、异型增生和胃癌组织以及胃癌细胞系MGC803和BGC823的表达特点。方法:采用冰冻组织微阵列的免疫组织化学(immunohistochemistry,IHC)染色,在完全相同的实验条件下检测56例胃癌及29例非癌粘膜、11例肠上皮化生、7例异型增生组织中Caveolin-1的表达状况,及其与胃癌的临床病理分期、淋巴结转移、Lauren分型及组织学分型的关系。Westernblot和RT-PCR法检测胃癌及相应癌旁组织与MGC-803和BGC-823细胞中Caveolin-1蛋白和RNA的表达情况。结果:免疫组化结果显示,Caveolin-1在非癌胃粘膜、肠上皮化生、异型增生和胃癌中的阳性率分别为86.2%(25/29)、81.8%(9/11)、57.1%(4/7)、17.9%(10/56);胃癌与其它各组间的阳性率有显著性差异(P<0.05)。进展期胃癌的Caveolin-1阳性率(16.0%)低于早期胃癌(33.3%),但无统计学意义(P>0.05)。弥漫型胃癌的阳性率(7.0%)明显低于肠型胃癌(26.9%,P<0.05)。有淋巴结转移的胃癌Caveolin-1阳性率(9.7%)低于无淋巴结转移(31.8%,P<0.05)。Westernblot及RT-PCR结果显示,胃癌组织和相应非癌胃粘膜组织中Caveolin-1的表达无显著性差异,但MGC-803和BGC-823细胞中Caveolin-1表达?更多还原

【Abstract】 BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Caveolin-1, a candidate tumor suppressor gene, aberrantly expressed in many kinds of carcinomas. This research was designed to check the expression of Caveolin-1 in non-cancerous gastric mucosa, intestinal metaplasia, atypical hyperplasia, gastric cancer tissues, and gastric cancer cell lines MGC803 and BGC823, and to analyze its clinical biological significance in stepwise gastric carcinogenesis. METHODS: Frozen gastric tissue array-based immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to examine the expression of Caveolin-1 in 56 specimens of gastric cancer, 29 specimens of non-cancerous mucosa, 11 specimens of intestinal metaplasia, and 7 specimens of atypical hyperplasia. Correlations of Caveolin-1 expression to clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, Lauren’s type, and histological type were analyzed. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein levels of Caveolin-1 in 56 specimens of gastric cancer and relevant adjuvant non-cancerous tissue, and cell lines MGC803 and BGC823. RESULTS: Positive rate of Caveolin-1 was significantly lower in gastric cancer than in non-cancerous mucosa, intestinal metaplasia, and atypical hyperplasia (17.9% vs. 84.8%, 81.8%, and 57.1%, P<0.05). Positive rate of Caveolin-1 was lower in advanced gastric cancers than in gastric cancer of early stage (16.0% vs. 33.3%), but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). Positive rate of Caveolin-1 was significantly lower in diffuse gastric cancer than in gastric cancer of intestinal type (7.0% vs. 26.9%, P<0.05), significantly lower in the cases with lymph node metastases than in the cases without lymph node metastases (9.7% vs. 31.8%, P<0.05). Protein and mRNA levels of Caveolin-1 in gastric cancer and relevant adjuvant non-cancerous tissues have no significant difference, but its expression was low in MGC803 and BGC823 cells. CONCLUSION: Progressive down-regulation of Caveolin-1 in gastric epithelial cells is correlated to gastric carcinogenesis.更多还原
