目的:探讨血清GP73、AFP在DEN/CCl4/乙醇联合诱发的小鼠肝癌模型中的表达及意义。方法:60只BALB/C小鼠随机分为实验组(50只)和正常对照组(10只),联合DEN/CCl4/乙醇诱发小鼠肝癌模型,于第4、8、12、16、20、24周随机分批处死实验小鼠,采血及常规制作肝脏病理切片,采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)方法检测小鼠肝脏癌变过程中不同时期血清GP73、AFP的表达情况。结果:诱癌组小鼠第4-8周肝脏呈现出典型的药物中毒性肝炎表现,血清GP73、AFP仅见微弱表达,与正常对照组无统计学上的差异(P〉0.05)。第12-16周血清GP73、AFP随肝纤维化不断加重呈逐渐升高趋势,至第20周后肝癌形成时(诱癌第20-24周),GP73、AFP升高最为显著,结果具有统计学意义(P〈0.05);且GP73及AFP之间呈正相关关系(r=0.79,P=0.00)。结论:GP73、AFP参与小鼠肝癌的发生发展,其机制可能与二者在肝细胞大量损伤、增生过程中被激活,随肝癌形成相互作用有关。
Objective:To explore the expression and biological significance of both GP73 and AFP during experi- mental hepatoearcinogenesis in mouse. Methods:Fifty BALB/C mice were induced to establish primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) models by combination of diethylnitrosamines (DEN), carbon tetrachloride (CC14 ) and ethanol for twenty -four weeks, then the occurrence and development of HCC were observed, and other ten BALB/C mice were used as normal control ( no drug was given). The serum levels of GP73 and AFP were detected by enzyme linked im- munosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:In the case group, toxic hepatitis and acute hepatocellular necrosis were ob- served in carcinogenesis mouse in 4 -8weeks, serum GP73 and AFP only saw a slight expression, there was no statis- tically significant difference with normal control group( P 〉 0.05 ). In 12 - 16weeks, serum GP73 and AFP with liver fibrosis increasing trend was gradually increased, to the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma after 20 -24weeks, GP73 and AFP elevated to the most significant results had statistically significant ( P 〈 0.05 ). And a positive correla- tion between GP73 and AFP ( r = 0.79, P = 0.00 ) was seen. Conclusion : An BALB/C mouse liver cancer model was established by induction with combination of DEN, CC14 and ethanolin a relatively short time. Serum level of GP73 and AFP in the carcinogenesis and progression of HCC can be used as a suitable marker for early detection of the cancer- ous process
