Survivin、caspase-3及PCNA在卵巢上皮性肿瘤中表达的临床意义

目的 探讨凋亡调控因子Survivin、半胱氨酸天门冬氨酸蛋白酶-3(caspase-3)及细胞增殖标记指数(PCNA)在卵巢上皮性肿瘤中表达的临床意义.方法 采用免疫组织化学技术,检测2006年1月至2006年12月哈尔滨医科大学第一临床医学院收治的40例卵巢上皮性癌、10例交界性卵巢上皮性肿瘤组织及10例卵巢良性上皮性肿瘤中Survivin、caspase-3和PCNA的蛋白表达,并结合临床病理特征进行分析.结果 Survivin、caspase-3在卵巢上皮性肿瘤中表达呈负相关;Survivin和PCNA的蛋白表达呈正相关;Survivin在卵巢上皮性癌中表达率72.5%(29/40),且表达水平高于卵巢良性上皮性肿瘤(0)和交界性卵巢上皮性肿瘤(40%)(P＜0.05).caspase-3在卵巢上皮性癌中表达率0.5%(2/40),且表达水平远远低于卵巢良性上皮性肿瘤和交界性卵巢上皮性肿瘤(P＜0.01).结论 Survivin可能抑制caspase-3在卵巢癌中表达,导致卵巢癌细胞增殖,凋亡受阻,肿瘤形成;Survivin基因的表达可能发生在卵巢癌恶性转化的早期;Survivin的表达与瘤细胞分化、增殖密切相关,并且其高表达可能会作为预后不良的标志;caspase-3在卵巢癌中极低表达,有望成为卵巢癌良恶鉴别新的指标.

Clinical significance of expression of Survivin, caspase-3 and PCNA on ovarian epithelial tumor

Objective To investigate the expression of apoptosis regulatory factor Survivin,caspase-3 and PCNA in 40 cases of epithelial ovarian tumor and its clinical significance.Methods To detect the expression of proteins Survivin,caspase-3 and PCNA in 40 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer,10 cases of borderline epithelial ovarian tumor and 10 cases of benign epithelial tumor;analysis is carried out in conjunction with clinical pathological features.Results Survivin and caspase-3 are of negative correlation in epithelial ovarian tumor;the protein expression of Survivin and PCNA are of positive correlation;the expression rate of Survivin in epithelial ovarian cancer was 72.5%(29/40),and the expression level was higher than epithelial ovarian tumor and borderline epithelial ovarian tumor(P<0.05).The expression rate of caspase-3 in epithelial ovarian cancer was 0.5%(2/40),and the expression level was much lower than epithelial ovarian tumor and borderline epithelial ovarian tumor(P<0.01).Conclusion The expression of caspase-3 is inhibited by Survivin,which results in the ovarian cancer cells multiplication,apoptosis obstruction and tumor generation;the expression of Survivin gene happens in the early stage of ovarian cancer malignant transformation;the expression of Survivin is closely correlated with tumor cell differentiation and proliferation,and its high expression can be the identification mark of unfavourable prognosis;the expression level of caspase-3 in ovarian cancer is quite low,which makes it a new index to identify the benign and malignant ovarian tumor;the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Survivin,caspase-3 and PCNA may become the index of curative effect of drugs.
