摘要
目的:检测m itogen activated prote in k inase k inase 4(MKK-4)、MMP-9基因在原发性肝癌中的表达,探讨原发性肝癌MKK-4与MMP-9 mRNA表达水平间的相互关系,及两者对原发性肝癌侵袭转移的影响。方法:应用逆转录-聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测34例原发性肝癌癌组织和相应癌旁组织及12例正常肝组织中MKK-4 mRNA、MMP-9 mRNA的表达。结果:癌旁与正常肝组织的MMP-9 mRNA表达差异无显著统计学意义(P>0.05),癌中的MMP-9 mRNA表达增高,且转移癌与未转移癌组间有差异(P<0.05),转移癌组、未转移癌组分别与正常组及癌旁组织比较有差异(P<0.01);MKK-4 mRNA在正常及癌旁组织中表达无差异(P>0.05),转移癌组、未转移癌组分别与正常组及癌旁组比较有差异(P<0.01),转移癌中较未转移癌中的表达低(P<0.05);MKK-4或MMP-9的mRNA表达均与肿瘤的大小、分化无关(P>0.05);MKK-4 mRNA与MMP-9 mRNA的表达有一定的相关性(r=-0.925,P<0.01)。结论:提示MKK-4 mRNA与MMP-9 mRNA的表达改变与原发性肝癌侵袭转移的发生发展有一定的关系。
AIM： To investigate the expression of mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 4 （ MKK -4） and MMP -9 mRNA in primary hepatic carcinoma （PHC） , and to analyze its relationship with invasion and metastasis. METHODS ： The expression of MKK -4 and MMP -9 mRNA in 34 cases of hepatic carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues, and in 12 cases of normal liver tissues were detected with RT - PCR. RESULTS ： （ 1 ） The expression level of MMP - 9 mRNA was higher in metastatic cancer tissues than that in other tissuses （P 〈 0.01 ） . （2） There was significant statistical difference among the expression level of MKK - 4 mRNA, but the level in metastatic cancer was low （ P 〈 0. 01 ）. （ 3 ） There was no statistical difference among the expression level of MKK-4 or MMP- 9 mRNA among the adjacent tissues and normal tissues （P 〉0. 05）. （4） MMP-9 mRNA had a tendency to rise as PHC became invasive and metastatic. The expression level of MKK-4 had a tendency to decline in PHC became invasive and metastatic. （5） The expression level of MMP-9 or MKK -4 mRNA had no correlations with tumor volume, or cell differentiation （P 〉0.05）. （6） There were correlations between expressions of MKK- 4 and MMP- 9 mRNA in PHC （Pearson Correlation, r = -0. 925, P 〈 0. 01 ）. CONCLUSION： There are high MMP-9 mRNA expression and low MKK -4 mRNA expression in PHC. The expression level of MKK -4 or MMP -9 mRNA is correlated with tumor metastasis.
