采用组织芯片技术分析胃癌组织中胃泌素和胃泌素释放肽的表达

目的研究胃癌组织中胃泌素(GAS)、胃泌素释放肽(GRP)的表达及其临床意义。方法采用组织芯片技术制作60例胃癌组织芯片,同时用生物素-链霉菌卵白素检测系统(SP)免疫组织化学方法检测胃癌组织芯片中GAS、GRP的表达。结果60例胃癌中GAS阳性率为30.0%;GRP阳性率为11.7%。中、低分化胃癌GAS、GRP阳性率高于高分化胃癌(P<0.05);印戒细胞癌GAS、GRP阳性率显著高于其他组织学类型胃癌(P<0.05);胃癌GAS、GRP阳性表达与淋巴结转移相关(P<0.05)。结论应用组织芯片大规模高效检测临床组织样本是可行的,具有快速、方便、经济、准确的特点。

Expression of gastrin and gastrin releasing peptide in patients with gastric cancer by using tissue chip technique

Objective To study the expression of gastrin(GAS) and gastrin releasing peptide(GRP) in patients with gastric cancer and investigate the clinical significance. Methods The expression of GAS and GRP in sixty patients with gastric cancer was detected by using tissue chip technique and immunohistochemical methods. Results The positive rates of GAS and GRP were 30.0%and 11.7%respectively in 60 cases with gastric cancer. The positive rates of GAS and GRP were higher in moderately and poorly differentiated cancers than those in well differentiated cancer (P< 0.05). The positive rates of GAS and GRP were significantly higher in mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma than those in other types of gastric cancer (P< 0.05). The positive expression of GAS and GRP in gastric cancer was correlated with lymph node metastasis (P< 0.05). Conclusion Tissue chip technique is a feasible,rapid,economic and accurate approach for screening clinical tissue specimens on a large scale.
