摘要
目的:探讨成纤维细胞激活蛋白( FAP)在甲状腺乳头状癌( PTC)中的表达及意义。方法:采用免疫组织化学 SP 法检测66例2010年1月~2013年10月间收集的甲状腺乳头状癌和10例正常甲状腺中的表达情况。结果:FAP 在甲状腺乳头状癌间质成纤维细胞中表达,阳性率为86.36%;而在正常甲状腺间质及PTC癌细胞中不表达。甲状腺乳头状癌间质中FAP 表达与肿瘤TNM分期(χ^2=20.823,P<0.01)及淋巴结转移(χ^2=11.853,P<0.01)有关。结论:PTC间质中FAP的表达对PTC的侵袭、转移具有较好的预测价值。
Objective:To investigate the expression and significance of fibroblast activation protein ( FAP) in mesenchyme of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:Immunochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of FAP in 66 cases diagnosed as PTC between Jan.2010 and Oct.2013 and another 10 subjects with normal thyroid.Results:FAP was positively expressed in 86.36% of the PTC cases and free in the normal subjects,and ex-pression of FAP was associated with staging of TNM (χ^2 =20.823,P〈0.01)as well as lymph node metastasis (χ^2 =11.853,P〈0.01).Conclusion:FAP expression in stromal fibroblasts may signal the invasion degree and tumor metastasis of PTC ,thus detection of this protein can be of valuable estima-tion of the prognosis of this entity .
