摘要
目的:探讨自噬相关基因宫颈鳞癌组织中微管相关蛋白1轻链3(LC3)的蛋白表达及与肿瘤发生、发展的关系。方法:采用免疫组化的方法检测122例宫颈鳞状细胞癌,35例宫颈上皮内瘤变(CIN)Ⅱ~Ⅲ,31例正常宫颈组织LC3蛋白的表达。结果:宫颈鳞癌、CIN组织和正常宫颈组织组织中LC3阳性率分别为51.6%、71.4%和83.9%,3组中LC3阳性表达呈下降趋势,χ2=20.837,P=0.000。LC3与肿瘤分化(χ2=16.678,P=0.000)、复发(χ2=4.817,P=0.028)相关。鳞状细胞癌抗原(SccAg,P=0.042)、肿瘤分化(P=0.010)、浸润深度(P=0.048)、淋巴结转移(P=0.001)、手术切缘(P=0.015)和LC3(P=0.025)表达是无进展生存时间(PFS)的危险因素;肿瘤分化(P=0.025)、淋巴结转移(P=0.001)是影响总生存时间(OS)的危险因素。多因素分析显示,淋巴结转移是PFS(P=0.015)和OS(P=0.002)的独立预后因素。结论:宫颈鳞癌组织LC3表达低于正常宫颈和CIN组织的表达,提示LC3在宫颈癌的发生、发展中可能起一定作用。
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) in the genesis and progression of cervical cancer by detecting LC3 expression in different cervical tissues.METHODS: Immunohistochemistry technique was used to detect the expression of LC3 gene in specimens of 122 cervical squamous cell carcinoma,35 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN),and 31 normal cervical tissues.RESULTS: The positive expression rate of LC3 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma,CIN and normal cervix was 51.6%,71.4% and 83.9% respectively.The LC3 positive expression decreased gradually as the severity of the lesion progressed from normal cervical epithelium to infiltrating carcinoma significant(χ2=20.837,P=0.000).The expression of LC3 was associated with tumor differentiation(χ2=16.678,P=0.000) and recurrene(χ2=4.817,P=0.028).Univariate analysis of clinicopathlogical factors revealed that Squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SccAg,P=0.042),tumor differentiation(P=0.010),depth of invasion(P=0.048),pelvic lymphnode metastasis(P=0.001),incisal edge of operation(P=0.015) and LC3(P=0.025)were risk factors for progressive-free survial(PFS);while tumor differentiation(P=0.025)and pelvic lymphnode metastasis(P=0.001)were risk factors for overall survival(OS).Multivariate analysis showed that pelvic lymphnode metastasis were the independent prognostic factors for progressive-free survial(PFS,P=0.015) and overall survival(OS,P=0.002).CONCLUSION: The positive expression of LC3 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma is significantly lower than that in nomal cervical tissue and CIN,which implies that it may play a role in carcinogenesis and development of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
