谷胱甘肽- S-转移酶π和 DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的表达及其意义

目的探讨谷胱甘肽- S-转移酶π （GST-π ）和 DNA拓扑异构酶Ⅱ-α （Topo Ⅱ-α ）在肿瘤的表达及其与结直肠癌临床病理学特征之间的关系.方法应用免疫组织化学（免疫组化） ABC法检测 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在 60例结直肠癌、癌旁组织和 15例正常结肠黏膜中的表达并分析其意义.结果 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为 90.0%和 86.7%,显著高于癌旁组织和正常黏膜（ P〈 0.01）. GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α表达强度与肿瘤大小和组织学类型无关（ P 〉0.05）,但与肿瘤的临床分期、分化程度和淋巴结转移与否密切相关（ P〈 0.01）. GST-π在低分化癌组织中高表达;Topo Ⅱ-α在高分化癌组织中的表达强度高于低分化癌（ P〈 0.01）.结论 GST-π和 Topo Ⅱ-α在结直肠癌组织中的表达与肿瘤的临床病理特征有关,可作为衡量肿瘤恶性程度和预后的指标之一.

Expression of glutathione S- transferase-π and DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ alpha and their implications in colorectal carcinoma

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of GST-pi and Topo II-alpha, and their relationships with clinicopathological parameters in colorectal carcinoma. METHODS: The expression of GST-pi and Topo II-alpha were detected by avidin-biotin-peroxide complex (ABC) method in tumor specimens, matched paratumor tissues from 60 cases with colorectal carcinoma and normal colonic tissues from 15 cases. RESULTS: The expression rates of GST-pi and Topo II-alpha were 90.0% and 86.7% respectively in tumor tissues, significantly higher than those in matched paratumor tissues and normal tissues (P< 0.01). The expressions of GST-pi and Topo II-alpha were associated with cellular differentiation, Dukes stage and lymph node metastasis (all P< 0.01), but not with tumor size and histological type (all P > 0.05). The expression level of GST-pi was significantly higher in poorly differentiated tumors than that in well differentiated tumors. The expression level of Topo II-alpha in well-differentiated tumors were stronger than that in poorly differentiated tumors. CONCLUSIONS: The detection of GST-pi and Topo II-alpha expressions may be helpful to judge the malignant behavior, metastasis and prognosis in human colorectal carcinoma.
