门静脉高压症患者肝外血管平滑肌细胞增生与c-myc基因表达的相关性研究

目的　研究门静脉高压症患者肝外血管平滑肌细胞增生与c mycmRNA表达的关系。方法　应用RT PCR和免疫组化法对 2 8例门静脉高压症患者的脾静脉、12例正常血管分别进行c mycmRNA和增殖细胞核抗原 (PCNA)的检测。结果　门静脉高压症患者脾静脉PCNA蛋白表达阳性指数为 (2 9 8± 4 2 ) % ;c mycmRNA在PCNA蛋白表达阳性组和阴性组分别为 (7.6 1± 1 0 4 ) %和(3 82± 0 92 ) % ,正常对照组血管中PCNA蛋白无表达、c mycmRNA表达为 (1 0 4± 0 2 1) % ,两者同时与对照组比较 ,差异有显著意义 (P <0 0 1)。结论　c myc基因是门静脉高压症患者肝外血管平滑肌细胞增殖的起动基因 ,门静脉血流动力学紊乱激活脾静脉壁平滑肌细胞中原癌基因 ,促使血管平滑肌细胞增殖、迁移和表型改变 ,导致脾静脉血管重塑 ,使血管对缩血管物质反应降低。

The study on correlation of c-myc gene expression with vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation in patients with portal hypertension

OBJECTIVE: To investigate c-myc proto-oncogene expression and the relationship of PCNA protein expression of extrahepatic vascular smooth muscle cell in patients with portal hypertension and normal vessels. METHODS: RT-PCR was used to demonstrate the expression of c-myc mRNA and immuno-chemistry strain was performed to detect the expression of PCNA protein in splenic veins of 28 patients with portal hypertension and 12 normal vessels. RESULTS: The straining of PCNA protein was (29.8 +/- 4.7)% in splenic veins with portal hypertension, Normal vessels did not detect PCNA protein expression (P < 0.01); RT-PCR showed that the expression of c-myc mRNA in PCNA-positive control and in negative control of splenic veins with portal hypertension were (7.61 +/- 1.04)% and (3.82 +/- 0.92)%, respectively. There ws different between two groups (P < 0.01) and significant different (P < 0.01) when compared with (1.01 +/- 0.21)% in normal vessels. CONCLUSIONS: The c-myc was immediate-early gene when it modulated proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell. Hemodynamic disturbance of portal vein system activate the proto-oncogene of smooth muscle cells in splenic vein of patients with portal hypertension, promoting the proliferation, migrating and phenotypic change and resulting in vascular remodelling of splenic veins.
