目的:探讨不同生物学特性胃癌中Notch-1基因与p53蛋白、Ki-67表达的意义。方法采用免疫组织化学染色方法检测胃癌及其癌旁组织中的Notch-1、p53、Ki-67的表达,进行相关性分析。结果 Notch-1、p53、Ki-67在胃癌组织中的阳性表达率分别为57.5%(48/80)、47.5%(38/80)、52.5%(42/80),均明显高于癌旁组(分别为28.1%、0%、和12.5%,P<0.05),并且都与肿瘤分化程度、脉管浸润明显呈正相关(P<0.05);p53、Ki-67与淋巴结转移明显相关(P<0.05),但Notch-1与肿瘤浸润深度、淋巴结转移无明显相关性(P>0.05);Notch-1与p53、Ki-67表达均有高度正相关性。结论 Notch-l与p53在胃癌的进展中可能共同起作用,联合检测Notch-1、p53、Ki-67可能成为胃癌患者预后判断重要参考指标。
Objective To study the expression of Notch-1 in gastric carcinoma and its relationship with the expression of p53 and Ki-67. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was applied to measure the expression of Notch-1,p53 and Ki-67 in the carci?noma tissues and pericarcinomatous tissues. And the correlation among the expression of Notch -1, p53 and Ki -67 was analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of Notch-1,p53 and Ki-67 in gastric carcinoma group were respectively 57. 5% (48/80), 47. 5% (38/80) and 52. 5% (42/80),remarkably higher than those in the pericarcinomatous group (28. 1%,0% and 12. 5% respec?tively,P0. 05). The expression of Notch-1 was positively correlated with the expression of p53 and Ki-67. Conclusion The expression of Notch-1 and p53 may play a synergetic role in gastric cancer incidence and development. Combined detection of Notch-1,p53 and Ki-67 might be an important prognostic marker of gastric cancer.
