简介:目的研究转录因子扭曲基因(Twist)在喉鳞癌(LSCC)中的表达及其通过对上皮型钙黏附蛋白(E-cadherin)、神经型钙黏附蛋白(N-cadherin)的作用在判断肿瘤的生物学行为方面的意义。方法采用免疫组织化学SP法及反转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)方法检测49例喉鳞癌及20例癌旁组织中Twist、E-cadherin和N-cadherin基因的表达情况。结果Twist在喉癌组织中的阳性表达率(61.22%)明显高于癌旁组织(25%)(P〈0.01);Twist在喉癌组织中的mRNA相对表达量(0.93±0.39)明显高于癌旁组织(0.57±0.24)(P〈0.01);Twist在喉癌中蛋白及mRNA表达均与淋巴结转移、临床分期相关,而与肿瘤病理学分级、临床分型及年龄无关。在mRNA及蛋白水平,Twist与E-cadherin,N-cadherin与E-cadherin的表达均呈负相关;Twist与N-cadherin均呈正相关。结论Twist在喉鳞癌中过度表达,可能通过分别上调N-cadherin和下调E-cadherin的表达,进而在喉鳞癌的浸润、转移过程中发挥重要作用。
