目的 研究基质金属蛋白酶(matrix metalloproteinase,MMP)2、MMP-9及组织金属蛋白酶抑制剂(tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase,TIMP)1、TIMP-2在鼻腔鳞状细胞癌中的表达及意义.方法 应用免疫组化S-P法检测50例鼻腔鳞状细胞癌和50例中鼻甲或下鼻甲组织中MMP-2、MMP-9、TIMP-1和TIMP-2的表达,并分析它们的表达与临床病理结果间的关系.以SPSS 12.0软件对数据进行统计学分析.结果 鼻腔鳞状细胞癌组织和中鼻甲或下鼻甲组织中MMP-2阳性表达检出率分别为52.0%(26/50)、28.0%(14/50),差异有统计学意义(x2=6.00,P<0.05);MMP-9阳性表达检出率分别为58.0%(29/50)、10.0%(5/50),差异有统计学意义(x2=12.80,P<0.05);TIMP-1阳性表达检出率分别为74.0%(37/50)、56.0%(28/50),差异无统计学意义(x2=0.51,P>0.05);TIMP-2阳性表达检出率分别为26.0%(13/50)、20.0%(10/50),差异无统计学意义(x2=3.35,P>0.05).结论 鼻腔鳞状细胞癌的发生、发展与MMP-2、MMP-9表达有关系,MMP与TIMP比例失衡在判断鼻腔鳞状细胞癌侵袭性及预后中可能有一定意义.
Objective To study the expression and significance of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2, MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) 1 and TIMP-2 in nasal cavity squamous cell carcinoma and their signification. Methods Fifty cases of epithelial carcinoma tissue and 50 cases of normal nasal tissue were detected for MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 by immunohistochemistry technique (S-P), and their relationship between the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and some clinical symptoms were analyzed. The SPSS 12. 0 software was used to analyze the data. Results The positive ratio of expression of MMP-2 in 50 cases of epithelial carcinoma was 52. 0% (26/50), which was significantly higher ( x2 = 6. 00, P <0. 05 ) than those [28.0% (14/50)] in the normal nasal tissue. The positive ratio of expression of MMP-9 in 50 cases of epithelial carcinoma was 58.0% (29/50), which was significantly higher ( x2 = 12. 8, P < 0. 05 ) than those [10. 0% (5/50)] in the normal nasal tissue. The positive ratio of expression of TIMP-1 in two groups was 74. 0% (37/50), 56. 0% (28/50) respectively.There was no difference between two groups ( x2 = 0. 51, P > 0. 05 ). The positive ratio of expression of TIMP-2 in two groups was 26. 0% ( 13/50), 20% (10/50) respectively. There was no difference between two groups( x2 = 3.35, P > 0. 05). Conclusions There was a close relationship between pathogenesis and development of nasal epithelial carcinoma and the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 in the epithelial carcinoma tissues. Both MMP and TIMP, especially the unbalance of MMP and TIMP, have prognostic value in nasal cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
