神经生长因子及其受体在人胰腺导管癌组织中的表达

目的 探讨β神经生长因子(β-NGF)及其受体酪氨酸激酶A(tyrosine kinase A,TrKA)和P75NGFR]在人胰腺导管癌组织中的表达及意义.方法 选择胰腺导管癌组织标本80例和正常胰腺组织20例,采用免疫组化、荧光定量PCR等方法,定量检测β-NGF及其受体表达,分析β-NGF)及其受体与临床病理学特征,尤其与神经侵袭的关系.结果 随着癌细胞分化程度降低和肿瘤TNM分期增加,β-NGF、TrKA蛋白表达水平增加,且低分化与高分化、中分化组相比显著增加(P<0.01),Ⅲ～Ⅳ期较Ⅰ～Ⅱ期显著增加(P<0.05);β-NGF、TrKA蛋白表达水平在有神经浸润组明显高于无神经浸润组(P<0.01),有淋巴结转移组明显高于无淋巴结转移组(P<0.01),且邻近神经组织的肿瘤细胞β-NGF、TrKA阳性程度高于远离神经组织的癌细胞.P75NGFR表达与肿瘤细胞分化程度关系密切.β-NGF和TrKA表达呈正相关.β-NGF、TrKA和P75NGFR mRNA表达水平在胰腺癌组织中明显高于正常胰腺组织,分别增加3.84、4.23和2.41倍.结论 β-NGF及其受体参与介导胰腺癌的发生,与胰腺癌临床病理学特征关系密切,β-NGF、TrKA高表达和胰腺癌嗜神经性关系密切.

The expression and significance of nerve growth factor and its receptors in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Objective To investigate nerve growth factor (β-NGF) and its receptors expression in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Methods Expression and distribution of β-NGF, tyrosine kinase A (TrKA) and P75NGFR were detected in operation tissue specimens of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. Relations of β-NGF and its receptors with clinicalpathological characters, especially nerve invasion were analyzed. Results β-NGF and TrKA expression are higher in pancreatic adenocarcinoma than normal pancreas, and the differences are significant (P < 0. 01). Β-NGF and TrKA expression are associated with the differentiation grades(DG), lymphatic node metastasis, nerve invasion and surgical pathological stages. Poorer of DG and later stages, more expression of β-NGF and TrKA. Β-NGF and TrKA expression have positive correlations. Β-NGF, TrKA and P75NGFR mRNA expression have significantly increased 3.84,4. 23 and 2. 41 times than normal tissues by real-time PCR, respectively. Conclusions β-NGF and TrKA might play potential rules in carcinogenesis for pancreatic cancer,have affinity with clinicopathological characters of pancreatic cancer. Β-NGF and TrKA may have mutual effect in signal transduction leading to perineural invasion of pancreatic carcinoma.
