血小板内皮细胞黏附分子-1在大鼠结肠癌组织及淋巴管的表达

目的 观察血小板内皮细胞黏附分子-1(PECAM-1)在大鼠结肠癌组织及淋巴管的表达.探讨其与肿瘤细胞淋巴道转移之间的关系.方法 构建大鼠结肠癌动物模型,运用免疫组织化学方法检测PECAM-1在结肠癌组织及淋巴管的表达.结果 PECAM-1在正常大鼠结肠组织表达于血管和淋巴管内皮,在肿瘤组织表达于腺体、血管和淋巴管的内皮,其中在肿瘤腺体的表达早期多位于细胞膜上,中晚期则转移至细胞质内,且表达随肿瘤进展而下降.在肿瘤淋巴管内皮的表达随肿瘤进展而下降,在血管内皮表达不变.结论 PECAM-1可能介导大鼠结肠癌早期肿瘤细胞与内皮之间的黏附;PECAM-1在大鼠结肠癌淋巴管的表达降低可能与肿瘤内淋巴管新生及内皮连接开放相关.

THE EXPRESSION OF PECAM-1 IN RAT COLON ADENCARCINOMA AND LYMPHATICS

Objective To observe the expression of PECAM-1 in colorectal cancer in rat and to explore the mechanism of lymphatic metastasis of tumor. Methods Wistar rats were used to make the animal model of primary colorectal cancer,by using HE staining,the cancer type and progression of cancer were devided.By immunohistochemistry staining,the expression of PECAM-1 in tumor tissue,blood vessels and lymphatic vessels were observed. Results PECAM-1 expression in blood vessels and lymphatic vessels were observed in normal tissue,while its expression on tumor tissue and lymphatic vessels decreased according to the cancer progression.Conclusion PECAM-1 may be involved in the early process of tumor cells adhering to the endothelium;decreased expresson of PECAM-1 on lymphatics may be related with lymphangiogenesis and the opening of endothelial junction of lymphatic vessels.
